Mer- rill] with different hypocotyl lengths. This study is mainly focused on the effects of soy- bean germination on the rheological characteristics and the microstructure of sogurt. Results show that, after soybean germination, sogurt had lower storage module (G’) and loss mod- ule (G’’) in the linear viscoelastic region than the sogurt from ungerminated soybean. Shear sweep test demonstrated that the flow behaviour index (n) of sogurt obviously rose from 0.225 to 0.241 (p<0.05), while the yield stress (t0) and consistency coefficient (k)de- creased remarkably from 3.25 to 1.98 Pa and from 12.61 to 8.37 Pa·sn, respectively. Further- more, the three-dimensional network of sogurt became more ordered and open, with the diameter of interspaces increased from 1–2 to 5–6 mm. Protein hydrolase system assays indicated that endopeptidase, aminopeptidase, dipeptidyl aminopeptidase and carboxy- peptidase in sprouted seeds showed different activities towards synthetic substrates. It can be concluded that, after the limited proteolysis of soybean storage proteins by endopepti- dases and exopeptidases in germinated soybeans, the rheological properties and micro- structure of sogurts can be improved.

  • Soy Free Diet Avoiding Soy
    SOY FREE DIET AVOIDING SOY An allergy to soy is common in babies and young children, studies show that often children outgrow a soy allergy by age 3 years and the majority by age 10. Soybeans are a member of the legume family; examples of other legumes include beans, peas, lentils and peanut. It is important to remember that children with a soy allergy are not necessarily allergic to other legumes, request more clarification from your allergist if you are concerned. Children with a soy allergy may have nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloody stool, difficulty breathing, and or a skin reaction after eating or drinking soy products. These symptoms can be avoided by following a soy free diet. What foods are not allowed on a soy free diet? Soy beans and edamame Soy products, including tofu, miso, natto, soy sauce (including sho yu, tamari), soy milk/creamer/ice cream/yogurt, soy nuts and soy protein, tempeh, textured vegetable protein (TVP) Caution with processed foods - soy is widely used manufactured food products – remember to carefully read labels. o Soy products and derivatives can be found in many foods, including baked goods, canned tuna and meat, cereals, cookies, crackers, high-protein energy bars, drinks and snacks, infant formulas, low- fat peanut butter, processed meats, sauces, chips, canned broths and soups, condiments and salad dressings (Bragg’s Liquid Aminos) USE EXTRA CAUTION WITH ASIAN CUISINE: Asian cuisine are considered high-risk for people with soy allergy due to the common use of soy as an ingredient and the possibility of cross-contamination, even if a soy-free item is ordered.

  • Reduce Inflammation: Eat the Palmleaf Way by Jeanette Mascarenas, Wife of Ramon Mascarenas, LMT 1
    PalmLeafMassage.com Reduce Inflammation: Eat the PalmLeaf Way by Jeanette Mascarenas, wife of Ramon Mascarenas, LMT 1. Eat more plants. Plant foods reduce inflammation, fight pain and prevent or improve an astounding number of diseases including heart disease, diabetes, many cancers and many autoimmune diseases. Animal foods do the opposite. Take a vitamin B-12 supplement. B-12 is the only nutrient you cannot get from plants. 2. Eat more fiber. Fiber is only found in plant foods, never in animal foods. Fiber lowers cholesterol and reduces constipation. Eat more of these: Beans, lentils and peas provide fiber plus protein for growth and wound healing Whole grains provide fiber plus carbohydrates (starches) for clean-burning energy Fruits and vegetables provide fiber plus phytonutrients that fight inflammation, pain and disease 3. Eat less sugar. Sugar increases inflammation, pain and wrinkles. Refined sugars like white sugar, brown sugar and high-fructose corn syrup don’t provide vitamins and minerals, they take nutrients out of your body. Here are some healthier ways to satisfy your sweet tooth. Just don’t go crazy; they still raise your blood sugar. • Fresh or dried fruit • Honey • Evaporated cane juice still contains some of the • Brown rice syrup sugar cane’s nutrients (brand names are Rapidura • Maple syrup and Sucanat) • Sweet potatoes and yams • Molasses is high in iron and other minerals 4. Eat more variety. The more different kinds of foods you eat, the more likely it is that you are getting all the nutrients you need. Colors represent nutrients. Eat as many different colors each day as you can.

  • Gluten-Free Eating
    Gluten-Free Eating Gluten is a general name for the storage proteins (glutelins and prolamins) found in wheat, barley, rye and related cereal grains such as triticale, spelt and kamut. If you have either of these autoimmune diseases: celiac disease (CD) or dermatitis herpetiformis (DH), a skin form of celiac disease, even a small amount of gluten is harmful. In CD, gluten damages the small intestine resulting in poor absorption of nutrients including vitamins and minerals. In DH, gluten causes skin rashes and itching and can also damage the small intestine. A strict gluten-free diet (GFD) is the only effective treatment for CD and DH and requires the lifelong elimination of all foods containing wheat, barley, rye, related cereal grains and regular commercial non-gluten-free oats. A GFD will help your small intestine to heal and will eventually result in elimination of the signs and symptoms, which can include any or all: diarrhea chronic fatigue/weakness constipation low iron levels stomach pain/bloating/gas muscle cramps weight loss bone and joint pain For a more complete list of symptoms see the Canadian Celiac Association website: https://www.celiac.ca/healthcare-professionals/diagnosis/. The diet also reduces the risk of developing osteoporosis, reduced fertility, lymphoma and potentially other autoimmune disorders. Even if you are symptom free, continuing with a strict gluten-free diet will reduce your risk of these long-term complications. Getting Started on a Gluten-Free Diet It is still essential that you meet with a registered dietitian with expertise in celiac disease who can help you to adapt to the gluten-free lifestyle, including any social and emotional aspects.

  • Substitutions for Common Allergens
    Substitutions for Common Allergens Having a food allergy doesn’t always mean you have to give up your favorite meals. There are many options for replacing an allergen with a safe ingredient. Below are some substitutions for common allergens. When preparing meals for someone with multiple food allergies, be mindful not to replace one allergen with another. Always read labels and contact the manufacturer with questions. Milk: When baking, look for a substitute with high fat and protein to achieve similar results as cow’s milk. Try to choose “enriched” or “fortified” versions, as this indicates that calcium and vitamin D have been added. Milk substitutes are not created equal. Research indicates soy milk is the most nutritious option since it provides almost as much protein, vitamin D and calcium as regular milk. Rice, cashew and almond milk are low in protein and fat but provide comparable amounts of calcium and vitamin D. Rice, almond, coconut, cashew, hemp, pea, and soy milk substitutes often work well for cooking and baking. Note that there is a difference between coconut milk beverages and canned coconut milk. Refrigerated coconut beverages work well in smoothies, over cereal and in coffee. Canned coconut milk works well in soups and sauces and can be made into whipped cream for desserts. Avoid using infant formula for cooking and baking because heating it to a high temperature can destroy the nutritional quality and may have an adverse effect on flavor. If your allergy allows you to, try to use several different kinds of milk for best nutritional results Butter: Milk-free margarine and soy butter are common substitutes.
