Here’s to the folks out there that don’t need a political party or ideology to tell them what to do or think, but instead employ the use of common sense and decency.

@ElshofJordan @UofGFoodProf Folic acid is the fully oxidized monoglutamyl form of the naturally reduced folate. Folic acid,compared to folate,uses different pathways for digestion which increases the expression of folates receptors in few cancer types like prostate cancer #Figueiredo #Food2150 @UofGFoodProf

[Howard Chen @thehowarfulone]

@ElshofJordan @UofGFoodProf Folates have many biological functions. One of which is aiding the addition of methyl groups to DNA. However, excess amount of folate in the body can cause errors in methylation patterns, and may lead to prostate cancer @UofGFoodProf #Figueiredo #FOOD2150

[Ian St.Pierre @IanStPierre5]

@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

[Caitlin Ford @Caitlinford09]

@ElshofJordan @UofGFoodProf Folate is an important B-vitamin that increases cell division. Unfortunately, its derivative folic acid, has the same effect on cancer cells! A 10 yr study found that prostate cancer rates were 6% higher in men who took folic acid vs a placebo! @UofGFoodProf #Food2150 #Figueiredo

@UofGFoodProf Food desert has been used as an umbrella term to describe an area with poor access to healthy, affordable foods but in reality that's more of a food swamp. Keep in mind this terminology during this @TEDTalks https://t.co/qmlVTnbxfN #osorio #Food2150

Be careful with what's in your supplements gents. While folic acid is great for certain audiences, it has been found to increase the risk of prostate cancer, and can be found in small concentrations in certain supplements #nonutNovember #Movember #Figueiredo @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

@UofGFoodProf With increasing populations animal protein isn't as viable in the masses we consume it in. Research for how to make plant proteins more palatable have increased so much that we could make "egg whites" out of chickpea proteins #jones #food2150

[maddie @maddisfoodfacts]

@UofGFoodProf Companies want to add fish oils to infant food so there are greater benefits. Current research on oxidation of long chained PUFAs isn't accurate enough to put babies at risk of being exposed to elevated free radicals. Check your baby formula ingredients! #frankel #Food2015

@amazingkuskus @UofGFoodProf Concentration of certain plasma lipids, such pre-β-lipoproteins, are much lower in Greenlandic Eskimos than in Danish Eskimos. This difference is one of the factors behind the lack of diabetes and ischæmic heart-disease present in Greenlandic Eskimos #Bang @UofGFoodProf

[Allison Hoang @AllisonHoang12]

@amazingkuskus @UofGFoodProf Studies have shown that decreased media temperature greatly facilitates a change in animal's content of lipid tissue towards a more polyunsaturated way. This is why cold-water fish such as salmon have more polyunsaturated fats than fish that live in warmer waters #Food2150 #Bang

[Natasha @nmcgener]

@amazingkuskus @UofGFoodProf Ischæmic heart disease is very low in Eskimos in northern Greenland, even though their diet is very rich in animal fat. Compared to individuals in a Danish population, the concentration of lipids in the Eskimos was much lower. What is a potential reason for this? #Bang #Food2150

[Jordan Elshof @ElshofJordan]

@amazingkuskus @UofGFoodProf These polyunsaturated fatty acids are beneficial due to their help in prevention against plasma-cholesterol increases. It has been found that PUFA in salmon increase as the temperature that they live in decreases. Ice-fishing and beers anyone? #Food2150 #Bang @UofGFoodProf

[Jordan Elshof @ElshofJordan]

Cant stop eating chocolate? The desire to consume fatty foods can be related to survival instincts, as they contain more energy per gram than other macronutrients. Also, due to its hydrophobicity, fats are less likely to disturb osmotic balance #Food2150 @UofGFoodProf #Marangoni

Drinking blood orange juice already makes me feel good because its fancy but drinking pasteurized blood OJ makes my body feel even better. The thermal processing of blanching increases antioxidants like anthocyanins decreasing my bodies free radicals 😍 #FOOD2150 #LoScalzo
