Abstract:

<p> Today, obesity has become the number one concern of kids and teens. About one in three Americans are overweight or obese. This in part is due to the consumption of highly commercialized and processed foods that lack the essential nutrients in maintaining a healthy weight in addition to normal cholesterol and blood pressure levels. Studies have shown that eating habits are learned early in life and are carried on throughout the rest of their lives. As children grow older into their adolescent years, they are more aware of their eating habits and have gained more autonomy in regards to food

Abstract:

Plant-based diets, defined as “vegetarian” diets, are associated with reduced risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary heart disease (CHD). To examine the health effects of gradual reductions in animal food consumption while increasing plant food intake, and to distinguish between healthy and less healthy plant foods, we created three graded plant-based diet indices using semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires (SFFQ). In the overall plant-based diet index (PDI), all plant foods received positive scores while animal foods received reverse scores. In the healthful PDI (hPDI) healthy p

Abstract:

Veganism (or following a PBD) is scientifically proven to be one of the possible answers to the environmental, ethical and health issues our society is currently facing. The documentary film What the Health advocates this claim and presents the tremendous impacts, meat and dairy production and consumption, have on our environment, our personal health and for the people living on our planet. The documentary’s attempt of persuading people to adopt a PBD remained unanswered and was the chosen case-study for this research on audience reception and media effects.

Abstract:

This study examined the vitamin B12 intake of 1530 women of reproductive age on a vegan diet in Australia, using an online survey which included a food frequency questionnaire and assessment of supplemental intake. Relationships were found between adequacy of intake and participants' characteristics, including knowledge attitudes and beliefs relating to vitamin B12. The limitations of current methodology for assessing vitamin B12 status and of considering supplemental intake as equivalent to intake from food were examined.

Abstract:

Breast cancer is a persistent public health problem. Interesting hypothesis suggests that its risk can be modulated in early life periods, a phenomenon known as fetal programming. In this context, most fetal programming studies focus on maternal influence, due to the greater interaction between mother and fetus in both fetal and lactation periods. However, recent studies show that paternal preconception diet has also a major role in the offspring\'s susceptibility to metabolic chronic non-communicable diseases. Therefore, this direct doctoral project aimed to assess whether the paternal consum

Kentucky has a health crisis and most of the causes can be linked to diet, smoking and physical activity. Vegetarian and vegan diets have numerous benefits for many diet related health problems such as obesity, heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. There has been limited research on vegetarians and vegans in the United States and none in Kentucky. This study used an anonymous electronic survey to examine the different characteristics, behaviors, experiences and opinions of adult vegetarians and vegans in Kentucky.

In the recent years, the consumer choices have been focused on health-promoting plant-based food and their preferences are oriented towards regional foodstuff from local productions. Therefore, an important factor for vegetables grown Trentino-Alto Adige (Italy) is to point out the added value of alpine farming to evaluate the nutritional values of farming products. Omics technologies (e.g. genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics) are aimed at investigating the assessment of different pools of molecules and how they are translated into the structure, function, and dynamics

There is currently a great interest in developing alternative feeding strategies for animal health maintenance and disease prevention, in order to reduce the negative impact of removing antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) within the EU (EC Regulation 1831/2003), while minimizing the therapeutic use of antibiotics. The main theme of this research concerns the management of some health problems that frequently occur during the weaning of piglets, focusing in particular on the use of feed additives and immunogenic products derived from engineered plants.

Abstract:

Currently aquaculture is the largest growing food sector in the world, however, its future growth is limited by its heavy reliance on fishmeal (FM). Overfishing of wild marine fish stocks used for FM is putting too much pressure on the stocks, making FM unsustainable as a dominant protein source as aquaculture continues to grow. Plant proteins (PP) are an ideal alternative to FM because of their wide availability and relatively low cost. Soybean meal (SBM) is the most commonly used PP in aquaculture, but its inclusion in feeds is limited due to reduced digestibility and the presence of antinut

Abstract:

The current state of agriculture, where demand for safe food is increasing rapidly as a consequence of growing population, raises a number of questions related to the one health approach and sustainable animal production with minimal impact on the environment. Swine production is an important branch of food production where weaning is the most vulnerable phase for piglets, often associated with decrease of growth performance and diarrhoea. The maintenance of gut health is therefore a complex endeavour where nutrition is crucial in order to reduce the intestinal disorders. Antimicrobial resista

Plant-based diets have recently been gaining popularity due to emerging research that highlights their positive impact on long-term health outcomes. These studies have recently become a topic of interest among the medical community, as plant-based diets have shown to decrease the risk of obesity, stroke, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and type II diabetes in adults. However, research on plant-based diets is more limited in pregnancy and pediatrics. There are several studies that link predominantly plant-based maternal diets during pregnancy to decreased incidence of various pediatric d

Worldwide, there were 463 million adults (20-79 years) with diabetes in 2019. These figures are expected to increase to 700 million by 2045. Additionally, approximately 4.2 million deaths worldwide were attributable to diabetes, and global health care expenditures on individuals with diabetes were estimated to be 760 billion U.S. dollars. One of the most effective ways to control this debilitating disease is to prevent it before it happens, which, based on evidence from the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) randomized controlled trial and other studies in different countries, is feasible with
