Arabinoxylan consumption decreases postprandial serum glucose, serum insulin and plasma total ghrelin response in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance.

TL;DR: AX consumption improved postprandial metabolic responses after an LMCT in subjects with IGT and reduced total gh Relin response, suggesting that the acylated ghrelin-mediated orexigenic regulation is not improved as only total plasma ghrel in decreased.
Journal ArticleDOI

Community Interventions to Improve Cooking Skills and Their Effects on Confidence and Eating Behaviour

TL;DR: Cooking skill interventions can have a positive effect on food literacy, particularly in improving confidence on cooking and fruit and vegetable consumption, with vulnerable, low-socieconomic groups gaining more benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Term Consumption of a Raw Food Diet Is Associated with Favorable Serum LDL Cholesterol and Triglycerides but Also with Elevated Plasma Homocysteine and Low Serum HDL Cholesterol in Humans

TL;DR: It is indicated that consumption of a strict raw food diet lowers plasma total cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, but also lowers serum HDL cholesterol and increases tHcy concentrations due to vitamin B-12 deficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carob Pulp Preparation Rich in Insoluble Dietary Fiber and Polyphenols Enhances Lipid Oxidation and Lowers Postprandial Acylated Ghrelin in Humans

TL;DR: It is shown that the consumption of a carob pulp preparation, an insoluble dietary fiber rich in polyphenols, decreases postprandial responses of acylated ghrelin, triglycerides, and NEFA and alters RQ, suggesting a change toward increased fatty acid oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutritional content of infant commercial weaning foods in the UK

TL;DR: The majority of products had energy content similar to breast milk and would not serve the intended purpose of enhancing the nutrient density and diversity of taste and texture in infants’ diets.
