Use of Hydration, Germination, and α‐Galactosidase Treatments to Reduce Oligosaccharides in Dry Beans
TL;DR: In this article, N.N. J. M Nallapati et al. showed that the removal of stachy affinities resulted in 51% ± 3.9% reduction in total r eduction in total regressions in total regression in total reduction of total raffinose and stach affinose in total regaining affinoses.

Rebelling against the (Insulin) Resistance: A Review of the Proposed Insulin-Sensitizing Actions of Soybeans, Chickpeas, and Their Bioactive Compounds.
TL;DR: The proposed mechanisms of action for insulin-sensitizing actions of soybeans, chickpeas, and their bioactive compounds include increasing glucose transporter-4 levels, inhibiting adipogenesis by down-regulating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, reducing adiposity, positively affecting adipokines, and increasing short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria in the gut.

Nutrient intake in relation to central and overall obesity status among elderly people living in the Mediterranean islands: The MEDIS study
Stefanos Tyrovolas,Theodora Psaltopoulou,George Pounis,Natassa Papairakleous,Vassiliki Bountziouka,Akis Zeimbekis,Efthimios Gotsis,Maria Antonopoulou,George Metallinos,Evangelos Polychronopoulos,Christos Lionis,Demosthenes B. Panagiotakos +11 more
TL;DR: The presented findings suggest that a diet high in carbohydrates and vegetable protein is associated with a lower likelihood of being obese and may help elderly people to preserve normal weight.

TL;DR: The fermented soy product enriched with Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus Jugurti decreased circulating lipids levels and reduced adipocyte area in rats, and promoted important benefits such as reduced cholesterolemia in hypercholesterolemic diet group and the adipocyte circumference in both control and hyperch LDL-cholesterol diet group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of renal function and other health outcomes in vegetarians versus omnivores in Taiwan.
Chih-Kuang Lin,Deng-Juin Lin,Chi-Hwa Yen,Shiuan-Chih Chen,Chun-Chieh Chen,Tsun-Yen Wang,Ming Chih Chou,Horng-Rong Chang,Meng-Chih Lee +8 more
TL;DR: The renal functions, in terms of the estimated glomerular filtration rate, were not different between the vegetarians and the omnivores, and these results were compatible with general concepts regarding diet of plant origin.

Dietary Modulation of the Human Colonic Microbiota: Introducing the Concept of Prebiotics
TL;DR: By combining the rationale of pro- and prebiotics, the concept of synbiotics is proposed to characterize some colonic foods with interesting nutritional properties that make these compounds candidates for classification as health-enhancing functional food ingredients.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of dietary patterns on blood pressure were assessed in a clinical trial, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, where the subjects were fed a control diet that was low in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, with a fat content typical of the average diet in the United States.

Genistein, a specific inhibitor of tyrosine-specific protein kinases.
Tetsu Akiyama,J Ishida,Shinsaku Nakagawa,Hiroshi Ogawara,Shinya Watanabe,N Itoh,M Shibuya,Yasuo Fukami +7 more
TL;DR: Genistein inhibited the EGF-stimulated increase in phosphotyrosine level in A431 cells and scarcely inhibited the enzyme activities of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases such as cAMP-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinases, and the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzymeprotein kinase C.

TL;DR: The effect of different foods on the blood glucose levels was fed individually to groups of 5 to 10 healthy fasting volunteers, and a significant negative relationship was seen between fat and protein and postprandial glucose rise but not with fiber or sugar content.

Fruit, vegetables, and cancer prevention: A review of the epidemiological evidence
TL;DR: It would appear that major public health benefits could be achieved by substantially increasing consumption of fruit and vegetable consumption, and in particular in cancers of the esophagus, oral cavity, and larynx, for which 28 of 29 studies were significant.
