  • Report on Effects of Beta-Carotene Supplementation in Combination with Tocopherol and Ascorbate in Clinical and Chemopreventive Trials (Adopted by the SCF on 19/3/98)
    Report on Effects of Beta-carotene Supplementation in Combination with Tocopherol and Ascorbate in Clinical and Chemopreventive Trials (Adopted by the SCF on 19/3/98) Terms of Reference The committee was asked by the Commission to review on recent reports of the studies on health effects of high doses of beta-carotene, retinol and alpha-tocopherol as well as ascorbate in controlled studies. Introduction Epidemiological studies of the last ten years have indicated that beta-carotene is a potential agent for the chemical prevention against carcinogenesis. In contrast, the recent prospective study performed by Heinonen et al. (1) has strikingly suggested that supplementation with beta-carotene significantly increased the incidence of lung, prostate and stomach cancer. The rising question is the possible dose dependency of a preventive or harmful action of beta-carotene and possible synergistic effects with other antioxidants. To answer this question clinical trials for therapy and intervention studies in healthy populations dealing with beta- carotene supplementation in different dosages below the GRAS daily intake of 200 mg have to be regarded. Clinical trials Therapeutic dosages of beta-carotene applied varied in a relative wide range of 20 mg/d to 180 mg/d. The highest daily dosage of 180 mg beta-carotene in combination with 100.000 IU vitamin A ( 30 mg retinol equivalents) was applied 1988 by Stich et al. (2) in tobacco chewers who had already sustained premalignant leukoplakia. After 6 months the single treatment with beta-carotene induced a significant remission of leukoplakias compared to the placebo group, although the combination of beta-carotene and retinol was much more effective.

Umarji 1, Pankaj Verma 2, Vivek Garg 2, Marian Schini 3,* and Richard Eastell 3 1 Umarji Healthcare, Pune, Maharashtra 411045, India; [email protected] 2 Hindustan Unilever Limited R&D, Gurugram, Haryana 122002, India; [email protected] (P.V.); [email protected] (V.G.) 3 Academic Unit of Bone Metabolism, University of Sheffield, Sheffield S10 2NR, UK; r.eastell@sheffield.ac.uk * Correspondence: m.schini@sheffield.ac.uk; Tel.: +44-0114-215-9667 Abstract: Young Indian women may be at risk of poor bone health due to malnutrition. The aim of this study was to examine the effects on bone metabolism of a nutritional supplement in women aged 25 to 44. The nutritional supplement was a protein-rich beverage powder fortified with multi- micronutrients including calcium (600 mg), vitamin D (400 IU), and vitamin K (55 mcg) per daily serving, while a placebo supplement was low-protein non-fortified isocaloric beverage powder. This 6-month randomised, controlled trial showed favorable changes in bone turnover markers (decreased) and calcium homeostasis; such changes in older adults have been associated with slowing of bone loss and reduced fracture risk. For example, serum CTX decreased by about 30% and PINP by about 20% as a result of the increase in calcium intake. There were also changes in the ratio of carboxylated to undercarboxylated osteocalcin and such changes have been linked to a slowing of bone loss in older subjects. For example, the ratio increased by about 60% after 3 months as a result in the improvement in vitamin K status.

  • Optimal Foods
    Optimal Foods 1. Almonds: high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, with 20% of calories coming from protein and dietary fiber. Nutrients include potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, zinc, vitamin E and an antioxidant flavonoid called amygdlin also known as laetrile. 2. Barley: Like oat bran it is high in beta-glucan fiber which helps to lower cholesterol. Nutrients include copper, magnesium, phosphorous and niacin. 3. Berries : The darker the berry the higher in anti-oxidants. Nutritionally they are an excellent source of flavonoids, especially anthocyanidins, vitamin C and both soluble and insoluble fiber. 4. Brussels Sprouts : Similar to broccoli, and a member of the cabbage family, it contains cancer fighting glucosinolates. Nutritionally it is an excellent source of vitamin C and K, the B vitamins, beta-carotene, potassium and dietary fiber. 5. Carrots: It contains the highest source of proviatamin A carotenes as well as vitamin K, biotin, vitamin C, B6, potassium, thiamine and fiber. 6. Dark Chocolate: It is rich in the flavonoids, similar to those found in berries and apples, that are more easily absorbed than in other foods. It also provides an amino acid called arginine that helps blood vessels to dilate hence regulating blood flow and helping to lower blood pressure. Choose high-quality semisweet dark chocolate with the highest cocoa content that appeals to your taste buds. 7. Dark leafy greens : Kale, arugula, spinach, mustard greens, chard, collards, etc: low calorie, anti-oxidant dense food with carotenes, vitamin C, folic acid, manganese, copper, vitamin E, copper, vitamin B6, potassium, calcium, iron and dietary fiber. Kale is a particularly excellent bioavailable source of calcium while spinach is not.

  • Guidelines on Food Fortification with Micronutrients
    GUIDELINES ON FOOD FORTIFICATION FORTIFICATION FOOD ON GUIDELINES Interest in micronutrient malnutrition has increased greatly over the last few MICRONUTRIENTS WITH years. One of the main reasons is the realization that micronutrient malnutrition contributes substantially to the global burden of disease. Furthermore, although micronutrient malnutrition is more frequent and severe in the developing world and among disadvantaged populations, it also represents a public health problem in some industrialized countries. Measures to correct micronutrient deficiencies aim at ensuring consumption of a balanced diet that is adequate in every nutrient. Unfortunately, this is far from being achieved everywhere since it requires universal access to adequate food and appropriate dietary habits. Food fortification has the dual advantage of being able to deliver nutrients to large segments of the population without requiring radical changes in food consumption patterns. Drawing on several recent high quality publications and programme experience on the subject, information on food fortification has been critically analysed and then translated into scientifically sound guidelines for application in the field. The main purpose of these guidelines is to assist countries in the design and implementation of appropriate food fortification programmes. They are intended to be a resource for governments and agencies that are currently implementing or considering food fortification, and a source of information for scientists, technologists and the food industry. The guidelines are written from a nutrition and public health perspective, to provide practical guidance on how food fortification should be implemented, monitored and evaluated. They are primarily intended for nutrition-related public health programme managers, but should also be useful to all those working to control micronutrient malnutrition, including the food industry.

  • Antioxidative Effects of A-Tocopherol and Riboflavin-Butyrate in Rats Dosed with Methyl Linoleate Hydroperoxide
    Agric. Biol. Chem., 47 (7), 1577- 1582, 1983 1577 Antioxidative Effects of a-Tocopherol and Riboflavin-butyrate in Rats Dosed with Methyl Linoleate Hydroperoxide Teruo Miyazawa, Chiharu Sato and Takashi Kaneda Department of Food Chemistry, Faculty of Agriculture, Tohoku University, Sendai 980, Japan Received January 6, 1983 The antioxidative effects of dietary a-tocopherol (TOC) and riboftavin-tetrabutyrate (RTB)against tissue lipoperoxidation caused by the long-term administration of methyl linole- ate hydroperoxide (HPO) to rats were investigated by measuring the spontaneous chemilumi- nescence (CL) intensities and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) reactants of the liver, lung and heart. TOCsupplementation resulted in the effective decrease of CLintensities and TBAreac- tants in the three organs, while RTBsupplementation led to the definitive decay of both indices of the lung and a significant decrease in the CL intensity of the heart, as compared with those of rats dosed with HPOand not given any supplemental antioxidant. Although the activities of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase in the three organs obtained from rats dosed with HPOfor 29 days were clearly lower than those of the control rats, both enzyme activities in rats dosed with antioxidants other than HPOwere gener- ally maintained at levels almost equal to those of the control rats. Glutathione peroxidase of the liver and heart and glutathione reductase of the liver were shownto be further activated by the simultaneous supplementation of TOCand RTB. The results indicated that both TOCand RTBeffectively act as antioxidants in rats dosed with HPOover a long-term. Oneof the antioxidative actions of both agents is ascribed to pro- tection of the glutathione peroxidase system in organs undergoing lipoperoxidation caused by the long-term treatment of dietary hydroperoxides.
