Folate and disease prevention by Great Britain: Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition Pdf

This review updates the report by the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food Policy (COMA) "Folic acid and the prevention of disease" (Report on health and social subjects no. 50, 2000, ISBN 0113223048). The Committee has weighed the evidence which shows significant benefits of folic acid fortification in reducing the risk of pregnancies affected by a neural tube defect (NTD) against the evidence of potential harm in fortification in relation to delaying diagnosis of vitamin B12 deficiency and increasing the progression of bowel cancer. It recommends mandatory fortification of flour with folic acid as the most effective way to increase folate intakes of women most at risk of NTD-affected pregnancies, provided voluntary fortification is controlled and advice is given about supplement use. Such a policy is judged to be of net benefit to the UK population as it would lead to a redistribution of folic acid intakes, improving the folate intake of low consumers while reducing the intakes of high consumers.

Folic Acid by Stephen M. Lee Pdf

This book reviews and discusses the most relevant epidemiological aspects of OFCs and its prevention. It evaluates the role of folate and other factors in preventing OFC by analysing the health and socio-demographic data collected from a population sample. Individuals that are deficient in folates are suggested to have increase vulnerability to disease, including neurological conditions. Folates are involved in the metabolism of homocysteine which is a sulfur containing non-protein amino acid. This book will also highlight the recent advances made in understanding the effect of dietary folic acid over supplementation on neurological function. Patients with low levels of folic acid and other B vitamins, metabolism disorders, and renal failure have frequently high homocysteine levels that have been especially associated with cardiovascular and bone disease. This book reviews and analyzes the most important results about the effects of folic acid supplementation on clinical targets and it focuses on the effects of folic acid therapy on clinical outcomes of chronic renal failure patients with high homocysteine levels.

Functional Food by María Chávarri Hueda Pdf

In recent years, the concern of society about how food influences the health status of people has increased. Consumers are increasingly aware that food can prevent the development of certain diseases, so in recent years, the food industry is developing new, healthier products taking into account aspects such as trans fats, lower caloric intake, less salt, etc. However, there are bioactive compounds that can improve the beneficial effect of these foods and go beyond the nutritional value. This book provides information on impact of bioactive ingredients (vitamins, antioxidants, compounds of the pulses, etc.) on nutrition through food, how functional foods can prevent disease, and tools to evaluate the effects of bioactive ingredients, functional foods, and diet.
