A Novel Functional Soy-based Food Fermented by Lactic Acid Bacteria: Effect of Heat Treatment

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of a novel fermented soymilk product using selected lactic acid bacteria was performed, and the immunomodulatory properties of strains able to grow in so-ymilk were evaluated in a murine model using inbred BALB/c mice.

Dietary recommendations for prevention of atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: New evidence differentiates processed and red meat-both associated with increased CVD risk-from poultry, showing a neutral relationship with CVD for moderate intakes and the replacement of most high glycemic index (GI) foods with both whole grain and low GI cereal foods.

Lipids in Health and Disease

TL;DR: An inverse relationship between plasma lipid levels and patients was found in oral submucous fibrosis patients and the lower levels of plasma cholesterol and other lipid constituents in patients might be due to their increased utilization.

Candidate foods in the asia-pacific region for cardiovascular protection: nuts, soy, lentils and tempe.

TL;DR: Soy and its products are historically and currently some of the most important foods in the Asian region where diets remain predominantly plant-based, and once an Asian food culture changes on its emphasis on these plant foods, it may place its consumers at cardiovascular risk.

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.

Genistein, a specific inhibitor of tyrosine-specific protein kinases.

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.

Glycemic index of foods: a physiological basis for carbohydrate exchange.

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.
