Dietary Supplement Use Is Associated With Higher Intakes of Minerals From Food Sources
Journal Article 2011
This article, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, examines dietary nutrient intakes of supplement users versus nonusers, and includes an analysis how supplements contribute to the potential for meeting or exceeding dietary reference intakes.
The effect of X-ray on Salmonella inactivation and sensory quality of almonds and walnuts as a function of water activity
Journal Article 2011
The overall goal of this study was to develop a set of process design principles for low-energy X-ray irradiation of tree nuts.
Meta-Analysis of ADHD or ADHD Symptoms, Restriction Diet, and Synthetic Food Color Additives
Journal Article 2012
The ILSI North America Committee on Food and Chemical Safety initiated a collaborative project to analyze the scientific literature and evaluate the strength of the evidence between artificial food colors and ADHD by conducting an evidence-based review process.
Early Markers of Adult Obesity: A Review
Journal Article 2012
The purpose of this review was to evaluate factors in early childhood that are the most significant predictors of the development of obesity in adulthood.
Energy Balance and Its Components: Implications for Body Weight
Journal Article 2012
The Committee on Energy Balance and Active Lifestyle organized a consensus-style conference to assess the state of the science on understanding energy balance and the development of parameters to help individuals understand and achieve energy balance.
Do Dietary Supplements Improve Micronutrient Sufficiency
Journal Article 2012
The objective of this paper was to examine if children use supplements to fill gaps in nutritionally inadequate diets or whether supplements contribute to already adequate or excessive micronutrient intakes from foods.
Introduction to the Workshop
Journal Article 2012
While there is a growing body of research on Low-Calorie Sweeteners the information has not been pulled together cohesively to allow an evaluation of the existing science. This one and a half day workshop aimed to clarify the state of the science around the utility of low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) for weight management.
Mechanisms for Sweetness
Journal Article 2012
This article reviews these data,with a particular focus on the elucidation of the sweet taste receptor, its location and actions in taste transduction in the mouth, its nontaste functions in the gastrointestinal tract (e.g., in enteroendocrine cells), and the brain circuitry involved in the sensory processing of sweet taste.
Sweetness and Food Preference
Journal Article 2012
Throughout evolution, sweetness has had a role in human nutrition, helping to orient feeding behavior toward foods providing both energy and essential nutrients. However, their use has led to further concerns that dissociating sweetness from energy may disrupt the balance between taste response, appetite, and consumption patterns, especially during development.
Sweetness, Satiation, and Satiety
Journal Article 2012
Many studies have examined the various sensory, cognitive, postingestive, and postabsorptive factors that can potentially contribute to the inhibition of eating, with careful attention to study design, crucial for correct interpretation of the results. This review discusses the satiating power of foods and drinks containing nutritive and nonnutritive sweeteners.
