These materials were adapted from Life with Diabetes: A Series of Teaching Outlines by the Michigan Diabetes Research and Training Center, 5th Edition. American Diabetes Association, 2014. Diabetes Self-Management Education | Section H-1 When planning a menu consider the amount of naturally occurring fat and sugar in a food, and the amount of fat and sugar added during preparation. These are the two main factors for consideration in healthy food selection and preparation. Low-calorie sweeteners in food preparation Functions of sugar Sugars, in addition to sweetening, can have several other functions in a food product. Among these functions are “browning or carmelization” of foods, production of a softer, less graining or coarse texture of foods, and to thicken liquids. Low-calorie sweeteners cannot do these other functions of sugar. When using low-calorie sweeteners, these functions will be lost and the recipe may need to be modified to produce a quality product.

    Entertaining with Flair: 1980 In this relentlessly changing world, friendship and the art of dining still unite as a peerless buffer against present-let alone future—shock. And whether here or abroad, the ancient impulse of hospitality continues to build bridges even over what may appear to be the widest of generation gaps. This year, Food & Wine’s' Fall Entertaining observers have alighted in Paris, Milan, and New York to gather ideas and recipes from a markedly diverse group of hosts and hostesses. The common thread that binds them, you’llfind, is their ability to filter tradi­ tions of their native backgrounds through the meshes ofpersonal interests and tastes.

  • Cooking Salt Content in Food Cubes Commonly Used in Northern Togo
    Open Journal of Nutrition and Food Sciences ISSN 2690-2478 Research Article Cooking Salt Content in Food Cubes Commonly used in Northern Togo Adjangba KM1*, Agbodji Y1, Agoro S1 and Amouzou EKS2 1Department of Nutrition, Regional Health Directorate, Kara, Togo 2Laboratory of Biochemistry and Nutrition, University of Lomé and University of Kara, Togo Abstract Food cubes are essential additives in the preparation of food. The use of cubes is very widespread in Africa, precisely in West Africa. They are composed of salt and many other ingredients. The objective of this study is to determine the cooking salt content of commonly used cubes. The study consisted of a cross-sectional descriptive survey of restaurant managers from 12 February to 17 April 2019 and the determination of the salt content of 21 samples of cubes using the Mohr method. According to 44.8% of restaurant managers, the food cubes did not contain salt. For 65.5% of the respondents, there was no link between excessive salt consumption and cardiovascular disease. Analysis of the labeling of the cubes shows that they contain monosodium glutamate (100% of cubes analyzed), iodized salt, starch and vegetable fat. The average weight of the cubes analyzed is 9.4 g. The average salt content of the analyzed cubes is 64%, ranging from 40% to 76%. A 10 g food cube tablet provides the meal with more than 5 g of cooking salt, the quantity of salt recommended by the WHO to be consumed per day and per person. In view of the analysis results, it is advisable to take into account the salt content of the meal and the quantity of salt to be consumed per day before adding the food cube.
