For our first farm tour we toured Heidi Farms in Bainsville Ontario. Throughout the tour we were reminded in order to be successful in farming it doesn’t have to be complicated! Thank you Heidi Farms! #aggiesgoeast #simplefarming

@KC74471616 @UofGFoodProf Alzheimer’s disease and thiamine deficiency are linked in that both relate to cognitive deficits and decreases in glucose metabolism for the brain. Additionally, too much thiamine lowers the Alzheimer’s disease like symptoms or the potentiality. #Gibson #Food2150 #Assignment

When your favourite prof serves the entire class a 6 course mini feast consisting of torched flank steak, butternut squash, pulled pork sandwichs and dessert🤤 Thank you @UofGFoodProf for making every class something to look forward to!!

@shawlaura97 @UofGFoodProf With a growing population, sustainability is Crucial. There have been recent advances in non-animal proteins as alternative ingredients in meat products such as a hamburger. Will this option improve the use of the world’s natural resources like land and water? #Jones #Food2150

2 bovine casein peptides have been found to lower hypertensive activity, by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzymes. These benefits are causing the pharmaceutical sector to start to see the potential of using the bioactive peptides from casein molecules. @UofGFoodProf #nagpal

Thiamine is a vitamin commonly found in grains. Deficiency of thiamine has been linked to neurological problems and cognitive deficits. This is because of thiamine-dependent enzymes play integral roles in the metabolism of glucose in the brain. @UofGFoodProf #Gibson #Food2150

@IanStPierre5 @UofGFoodProf Hooper’s study concluded that saturated fats can be replaced by polyunsaturated fats , monounsaturated fats or carbohydrates. However, carbohydrates provide no health benefits and polyunsaturated fats result in food being susceptible to oxidation. #Hooper #Food2150 #Assignment

@havie_carter @UofGFoodProf Cholesterol is often linked to heart disease. Contrarily, Inuit consume a diet rich in animal fat, which increase cholesterol levels, but have very low rates of heart disease. Is this a evolutionary adaptation or do our diet recommendations need to be rethought? #Bang #FOOD2150

Corn is ranked as the number one crop in terms of production in Ontario. The high levels of increasing productivity are due to the development of hybrid varieties, the evolution of agricultural practices, and advancements in biotechnology. @UofGFoodProf #Food2150 #Hamel

@BrennaVyn @UofGFoodProf As a student studying agriculture, it is important to me that we have sustainable food to feed the world. #Hamel and many other industry leaders have completed research to make good more sustainable for the growing world population #OntAg #feedingtheworld #Food2150 @UofGFoodProf

@maddisfoodfacts @UofGFoodProf @UofGFoodProf @ImpossibleFoods There is amazing potential in grains, veggies and microbiological systems to create meat-analog food products! The challenge lies in extracting and processing these proteins to make "meat" products with appealing physical structure #Jones #Food2150

@ReganSissons @JoshPaolin @UofGFoodProf The impact of consuming saturated fats (SF) is a hot topic! Evidence shows that by reducing SF content in our diets, the risk of combined cardiovascular events is decreased. By replacing SF with PUFAs, the likeliness of these events reduced by 27%. @UofGFoodProf #liu #food2150

@havie_carter @UofGFoodProf #Bang found that Danish Eskimo populations had increased cholesterol levels compared to Greenland Eskimos.Could this be solely due to the differences between the Greenland Eskimo diet (high in polyunsaturated fats) and the Danish, Western Diet (high in saturated fats)?#assignment

@ElshofJordan @UofGFoodProf Polyunsaturated fats can be found in oils like sunflower oil and olive oil, while saturated fatty acids are in milk, palm fat and cocoa butter. Consuming polyunsaturated fats instead of carbohydrates is said to improve cardiovascular health. #Marangoni #Food2150 #Assignment
