J Nutr. 2005;135(10):2372-2378. 8 Raw Foods Diet: What foods are allowed? • Raw fruits and vegetables • Raw seeds and nuts • Unpasteurized milk • Sprouted grains and beans • Cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil • Raw virgin coconut oil • Raw fish, raw eggs and raw meats 9 Raw Foods Diet: What does the science say? • Health benefits associated with • Decreased digestibility will lead to less consuming fruits and vegetables (but provision of calories, protein and also including cooked) other nutrients and possible weight • A host of human enzymes for optimal loss and malnutrition. digestion – enzymes in raw foods not needed • Yes, some of vitamins are destroyed with cooking but cooking also improves digestibility (e.g. protein) and bioavailability (e.g. lycopene in tomato sauce) 10 Raw Foods Diet: What are the pros and cons? Pros Cons • Promotes high intake of fruits • High risk of foodborne illness and vegetables with raw meat, eggs, fish and • High in fiber milk but also with sprouting • Includes minimally processed • Anti-nutrients in some raw foods foods (e.g. legumes) • May be lower in calories • Restrictive, lots of preparation • Undernutrition is possible 11 Alkaline Diet: What do the proponents say? • Eating foods such as meat, dairy and refined foods produce acids leading to disease • Eating fruits and certain vegetables alkalizes the body • Hydration is critical – expensive alkaline water needed 12 Alkaline Diet: What does the science say? • To stay in acid-base balance, we need healthy kidneys and healthy lungs • In health, we can’t and shouldn’t try to change the body pH • Fruits and vegetables are health enhancing for a variety of reasons. • In the extreme - overall very poor quality diet lacking in fruits and vegetables and lots of excess protein, there may be imbalance (Institute of Medicine 2004) 13 Normal serum pH 7.35-7.45 Acid-base Balance Respiratory regulatory Kidney [metabolic] control regulatory control • Change in respiration • Control of rate bicarbonate • Depth of breathing • Phosphate, sulfate • Release or retention of and ammonium buffers CO2 J Environ Public Health 2012; doi: 10.1155/2012/727630 16 What can go wrong with acid-base balance? • Respiratory Acidosis • Respiratory Alkalosis – Hypoventilation (↓ breathing) – Hyperventilation (rapid leads to retention of CO2 and ↑ breathing) leads to loss of CO2 acid • Metabolic Acidosis • Metabolic Alkalosis – Loss of bicarbonate or excess – Vomiting production of acid (e.g. chronic kidney disease, diabetic – Low blood potassium ketoacidosis, lactic acidosis) – Excessive use of antacids (i.e. – Diarrhea – most common cause calcium carbonate) Diet alone does not cause acidosis or alkalosis – except in extremes and in high risk individuals. 17 Alkaline Diet: Pros and Cons Pros Cons • Increased fruit and vegetable • Exclusion of so-called “acidic” intake foods may lead to nutrient inadequacies (protein, iron, calcium etc.) • Very high intakes of oxalate- containing vegetables (e.g. spinach) may be risky for some individuals. J Ren Nutr 2018 May;28(3):215-220. 18 Paleo Diet: What do the proponents say? • Claim that we need to eat as human hunters and gatherers might have eaten during the Paleolithic era > 10,000 years ago before the introduction of agriculture. • Claim our bodies are mismatched with the modern diet. • Promoted for weight management and overall health. 19 Paleo Diet: What foods are allowed?

  • A Fiber to Enrich Product Appeal
    INCREASE FIBER. RETAIN APPEAL. REDUCE COST-IN-USE. A fiber to enrich product appeal Support digestive wellness — without impacting taste, texture or color using NOVELOSE® 3490 dietary fiber The call for fiber and digestive health is getting louder. Forty-four percent of U.S. consumers are increasing fiber consumption.1 And 70% of consumers feel digestive health is “important.”2 As you formulate to support digestive wellness with more fiber, you must overcome the unappealing effects fiber can often have on taste, texture and appearance — and for some consumers, digestive comfort — to keep consumers coming back for more. Now, NOVELOSE 3490 dietary fiber from Ingredion can help you deliver just-right taste, texture, and even fewer calories in fiber–rich baked goods, tortillas, cereal and bars. And, it’s Low FODMAP Certified to help you bring fiber to consumers who follow a low FODMAP diet. Take the lead in fiber fortification to support digestive wellness Adding fiber to many commonly consumed foods can be a challenge. You must balance the positive health benefits and label claims with the potentially negative impact of fiber on taste, texture and appearance. Not anymore. New NOVELOSE® 3490 resistant starch (type RS4) is an insoluble fiber that has little to no impact on taste, color or texture. By replacing a portion of the flour in bread, baked snacks, cookies, tortillas, cereal and bars, the tapioca-based fiber reduces calories and enables processing ease. It also reduces cost-in-use compared to many other fibers. Meet the growing low FODMAP trend Give consumers the fiber — and taste they want without digestive discomfort Many foods found in American diets are high in in certain short- chain carbohydrates called FODMAPs, which can trigger occasional digestive discomfort.

  • What Is the Low-FODMAP Diet?
    LOW-FODMAP DIET What Is the Low-FODMAP Diet? FODMAP refers to a group of five sugars found in certain foods. These sugars are lactose, fructose (in excess), fructans, galactans and polyols. Specifically, FODMAP stands for: • Fermentable • Oligosaccharides • Disaccharides • Monosaccharides • And • Polyols For some people, FODMAPs are poorly absorbed and can cause symptoms: • Bloating or swelling in your belly. • Gas. • Belly pain. • Nausea. • Diarrhea (loose stool). • Constipation (hard stool or trouble passing stool). The low-FODMAP diet has three phases. 1. Eliminate. 2. Reintroduce. 3. Liberatation. The information provided by the AGA Institute is not medical advice and should not be considered a replacement for seeing a medical professional . July 2017 Page 1 of 2 © AGA 2017 It is very important to work with your doctor or dietitian when thinking about following the low-FODMAP diet. Do not start the low-FODMAP diet until your doctor or dietitian tells you to and gives you detailed instructions on how to follow the diet the right way. Please refer to the full list of high-FODMAP foods in the “Getting Started” section.

Vito 1, 00168 Rome, Italy * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-380-381-0206 Received: 15 July 2020; Accepted: 1 September 2020; Published: 3 September 2020 Abstract: Diet and nutrition are known to play key roles in many chronic gastrointestinal diseases, regarding both pathogenesis and therapeutic possibilities. A strong correlation between symptomatology, disease activity and eating habits has been observed in many common diseases, both organic and functional, such as inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome. New different dietary approaches have been evaluated in order improve patients’ symptoms, modulating the type of sugars ingested, the daily amount of fats or the kind of metabolites produced in gut. Even if many clinical studies have been conducted to fully understand the impact of nutrition on the progression of disease, more studies are needed to test the most promising approaches for different diseases, in order to define useful guidelines for patients. Keywords: nutrition; gastrointestinal diseases; pediatrics; feeding disorders; functional gastrointestinal disorders; enteral nutrition; inflammatory bowel disease; irritable bowel syndrome 1. Introduction Nutrition and its various facets play a fundamental role in the development and growth of the individual, both directly and indirectly modifying all physiological phenomena during the course of life [1].

  • Low FODMAP Diet
    Low FODMAP Diet FODMAP? What does that stand for? Fermentable Oligosaccharides (oligo –“few,” saccharide – “sugar”) Disaccharides (“two sugars”) Monosaccharides (“one sugar”) And Polyols (these are sugar alcohols) OK, but what are FODMAPs and who should avoid them? FODMAPs are a type of carbohydrate, or “sugar,” found in certain foods. Carbohydrates give us energy, along with fat and protein. People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a slow moving gut, or other bowel disorder may not tolerate foods with FODMAPS. This is because FODMAPS are not easily absorbed by the bowel. Symptoms of FODMAP intolerance include gas, abdominal discomfort, distention, bloating, fullness, nausea, and/or pain after eating foods containing FODMAPS. Foods that do not contain carbohydrates are not a concern. This includes meat, poultry, fish, eggs, butter, oils, and hard cheeses. Carbohydrates that are Considered FODMAPS Fructans and Galactans Polyols Fructose Sorbitol Lactose Mannitol Fructooligosaccharides Xylitol Galactooligosaccharides Maltitol Fructose Fructose is a naturally occurring sugar found in fruit, vegetables, and honey. Fruits and fruit juices with higher levels of fructose may cause gas, bloating, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea. For some people, even a small amount of fruit juice may worsen symptoms. Updated BB 12-2016 www.GInutrition.virginia.edu Glucose is also a naturally occurring sugar. Fruits and juices with more glucose (and less fructose) may be more “intestine friendly.” The tables in the following section list which fruits, juices, and other foods may be better choices if you have FODMAP intolerance. High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) HFCS is an ingredient in many processed foods. HFCS is made up of almost half glucose and half fructose, similar to regular table sugar (i.e., “sucrose”).

These foods control the acid level in the body, which protects against harmful mucus buildup that compromises organs and leads to the development of disease. Following Dr. Sebi’s nutritional guide has brought me success, and this is so remarkable because I never thought I would follow a vegan or whole food plant-based diet. The proof is in the alkaline vegan pudding because but I haven’t been sick in 4 years since I adopted this alkaline vegan diet and started taking herbs. Before I adopted a alkaline vegan diet, I gradually weened myself off meat and only ate fish, and a little bit of dairy. I just ate some yogurt and ice- cream here and there. I came from being a meat eater to only eating fish, and I saw my energy level and body benefit from removing meat from my diet. I hadn’t thought about adopting a vegan diet, because I really didn’t think I would benefit from it.
