@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
maddie @UofGFoodProf @UofGFoodProf Impossible Foods 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
Jordan Elshof @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
Jordan Elshof @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
Jordan Elshof @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
