Bioactive peptides in milk have many health benefits, such as reducing high blood pressure, inhibits blood clotting, and boosts immune system among many more. But don't worry if you're lactose intolerant, labs are working to produce these peptides

Heating and overusing oil results in deterioration of nutritional value and cause adverse health effect. Commercial or health columnists speaking about superior oil may be misinformed since heating superior oil makes it no different from other oils.

Worried about diabetes? Avoid snacks like doughnut, cakes, popcorns, and chips. Try unsweetened cereal, nuts, and fish! Also low to moderate consumption of alcohol reduces the risk of diabetes, so don't be afraid to go out and have a drink or two.
To achieve a sustainable agriculture to maximize benefits for both us and the environment, we must increase crop yields, and we also must control N, P, and water use as well as pesticide use. We can also improve livestock management methods. @UofGFoodProf #Tilman#Food2150
The glycemic index (GI) describes how quickly glucose from certain foods enters the bloodstream. Foods with high GI cause a spike in insulin so are associated with diabetes, obesity, and in turn some forms of cancer! Opt for complex carbs to keep healthy! @UofGFoodProf #Augustin
Type 2 diabetes is an increasing epidemic due to many societal and lifestyle changes. We need to prioritize promotion of healthy diet and lifestyle choices to stop this crisis from progressing even further @UofGFoodProf #Food2150#Hu#assignment

Commercially favourable pressure is 650 to 700 MPa, and increasing temperature from 25C to 37.5C at constant pressure gave higher inactivation rate. It is important not to go under but going over didn't add any value either.
You didn't think real orange juice looked that perfect, did you? "Cloud particles", which are a mix of pectin, lipids, proteins, cellulose, and other minor components can be found in O.J., giving it its significant colour, flavour, and mouthfeel @UofGFoodProf #Food2150#Croak
@UofGFoodProf Did you know that starch can be modified and incorporated into pharmaceutical products? With the addition of modified starch, the active pharmaceuticals will maintain optimal concentrations within the blood, allowing for overall better relief for consumers. #Masina @UofGFoodProf
Humans have~7× more salivary amylase than chimpanzees, which correlates with how they eat more fruits & less starch compared to human pop. Showing that as homids evolved to eating a diet of starch, their AMY1 copy# increased by 3× compared to chimps.#food2150#perry @UofGFoodProf
Food is just a bunch of molecules our body chemically digests to absorb organic compounds. These molecules occur in opposite configuration (enantiomers) which alter taste perception due to relocation of substrate receptor sites on taste buds @UofGFoodProf #Food2150#Shallenberger
@UofGFoodProf Beware of your processed wheat and potato product intake! Infants and adolescents with a diet rich in these products have a higher concentration of acrylamide and glycidamide putting them at an increased risk for terminal nerve damage!!! #Food2150#Rommens @UofGFoodProf
Starch is the 2nd most abundant biomass material in nature. Starch nanocrystals is an area of great interest due to their flexibility. This property allows starch to act as a low cost raw material that can be used as a filler. #FOOD2150 @UofGFoodProf #LeCorre
@maddisfoodfacts @UofGFoodProf @UniSpud Swedish studies have shown that processed potato products such as potato chips have high levels of acrylamide, a compound that can cause genetic damage. Should Canadian producers switch to producing GE low-acrylamide spuds? #Food2150#assignment
