@ElshofJordan @UofGFoodProf Most breakfast cereals are fortified with folic acid, which has proven to have certain health benefits. However, it has also shown to increase the risk of prostate cancer due to its role in cell division. Begone, B9! #MakeCerealGreatAgain @UofGFoodProf #Figueiredo #Food2150

In case anyone was interested in the science behind our #biom4110 product idea for a progesterone biosensor that helps women 👩 at risk of preterm labour, here's the article we referenced! @MonicaHa15 @LujaynMahmoud @anamikadutta99 @IanStPierre5

Congrats to my fellow ProP4 members @anamikadutta99 @IanStPierre5 @LujaynMahmoud @michelless99 on our Dragons' Den pitch today! For those that didn't catch it, our product is Pee4 - the name kind of explains it: it is a urine test to measure progesterone (P4) levels! #BIOM4110

@mynostrum Resveratrol, a component found in red wine, activates the SIRT1 protein which decreases glucose levels and improves insulin sensitivity. Enhanced SIRT1 also improves exercise tolerance and lowers the body weight, resulting in an extended lifespan. @UofGFoodProf #Food2150 #Elliot

From a trail that was used to test the efficacy of the ketogenic diet on children with epilepsy. Data suggest that children that participated in the ketogenic diet had a greater than 90% reduction on seizures. Side effects were constipation and lack of energy. @UofGFoodProf #Neal

@UofGFoodProf Lactate metabolism is extremely important in the ripening of surface mould-ripened cheeses. After the manufacturing, the surface of these cheeses becomes colonized by secondary microorganisms such as Geotrichum candidum. @UofGFoodProf #Food2150 #McSweeney #assignment

@JoshPaolin @UofGFoodProf Study's show that replacing saturated fats with carbohydrates has no benefit on cardio vascular risk. While substituting polyunsaturated fats for either saturated fat or carbohydrates will reduce cardio vascular disease risk. #liu @UofGFoodProf #assignment

[Ian St.Pierre @IanStPierre5]

Simple dietary changes can have enormous long-term health benefits. Trials suggest a reduction of saturate fat intake could decrease the risk of cardiovascular events by 17%! Consider a replacement of polyunsaturated fats. Your heart will thank you.@UofGFoodProf #Hooper #Food2150

@JakeSchoonjans @tractorbuff @UofGFoodProf The greatest use of barley worldwide is for malting purposes, most predominately in the brewing industry. However, barley is becoming more popular in the human diet because it is wholesome, readily available, and relatively inexpensive. @UofGFoodProf #Food2150 #Gupta #assignment

@UofGFoodProf Infants that were fed natural lards, were able to absorb on average 6x more fatty acids then infants that were fed randomized lards. This is from the greater absorption of palmitic acid due to the greater content of 2-monopalmitin.What else could this be from?@UofGFoodProf #Filer

@Nicole78364528 @UofGFoodProf The nutritional, physical and chemical properties of lipids are determined by their structure. Chemical and enzymatic interesterification are means of structural modification to alter lipid bioaccessiblity, melting point and absorption. @UofGFoodProf #Thilakarathna #Food2150

Ancestral origin plays a large role in the prevalence of metabolic disorders such as diabetes. One study found individuals of aboriginal Australian descent experienced a diabetic prevalence 2 to 6 times higher than their European descent counterparts.#Food2150 @UofGFoodProf #ODea

@Heatherac3698 @UofGFoodProf Starch plays an essential role in the global food industry. In 2000, the world starch market consisted of 82% corn, produced 48.5 million tons of product and generated over 22 billion CAD. That is truly a-maize-ing! #Food2150 #LeCorre @UofGFoodProf

@RubertoPeter @UofGFoodProf Diet has a pivotal effect on mental health. Excessive caloric intake has been linked to reduced vascular health and a higher risk of cognitive decline. By consuming a balanced diet, the risk of developing diseases such as dementia can be reduced! @UofGFoodProf #Clemens #Food2150

@JesseVandenBer1 @UofGFoodProf Ever wonder why some fish meat is white while other fish like salmon are red/orange? In the case of the salmon, it is due to the food-supplied carotenoid pigments, like astaxanthin. Turning the meat into that appetizing red/orange color we love. @UofGFoodProf #listrat #food2150
