Episode transcript [Music] From Washington State University Extension, this is Food Safety in a Minute. Did you know food processing practices may eventually reduce the heavy metal concentrations in food products? For example, rice may contain cadmium, a heavy metal entering the plant during growth and cultivation. Cadmium may come from natural geologic sources, fertilizers, or industrial contamination of air and irrigation water. A process called “washing” reduces cadmium. Using an alkaline solution, 95% of the cadmium is removed with “washing”. Sorting technologies may help. This includes pre-testing food and ingredients for heavy metals and using electromagnetic radiation tools to identify and sort food ingredients. A process called adsorption may be used in the future to filter heavy metals from liquids found in food processing which could improve food safety while reducing food waste.

Episode transcript [Music] I'm Susie Craig from Washington State University Extension No matter the source of heavy metals in our food system, agricultural technologies may minimize them in soil and limit the uptake of heavy metals by plants. The technologies used by farmers to lessen or alleviate heavy metals range from direct interventions with soil to more complex solutions. These include: • Growing crops in areas with lower levels of heavy metals, • Soil washing or soil excavation, • Reducing heavy metals in fertilizers, • Using soil amendments such as lime, altering the pH of soil and reducing heavy metal uptake by plants, and • Crop genetics developing plants that minimize uptake during growth.

Emulsifiers are among the most common food additives found in ultra-processed foods (UPFs), a much-discussed category of foods commonly defined as those made using manufactured ingredients. They are often packaged and have a long shelf life. Research examining the impact of diets high in UPFs suggests higher rates of obesity and diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.However, discussions about labeling these foods as "ultra-processed" have also sparked debates about whether their negative effects are primarily due to their high fat, sugar, and salt content, or whether they stem from the effects of processing itself, particularly the additives they contain.In this episode, Jaega Wise explores one of the most commonly used additives in UPFs—emulsifiers. She investigates how they work, what they do, their history, associated health concerns, and their potential future developments.Featuring: Nicola Lando and Ross Brown from the online specialty cooking supplies company Sous Chef; Tim Spector, professor of epidemiology at King's College London and co-founder of the personalized health app Zoe; food historian Annie Gray; John Ruff, Chief Science Advisor at the Institute of Food Technologists; Professor Barry Smith at the University of London's Centre for the Study of the Senses; Professor Anwesha Sarkar, an expert in colloids and surfaces at Leeds University's School of Food Science and Nutrition; and Dr. Benoit Chassaing, a research director at The Institut Pasteur in Paris, who studies microbiota and the health impacts of certain emulsifiers.Presented by Jaega Wise Produced in Bristol for BBC Audio by Natalie Donovan

Episode transcript [Music] For Food Safety in a Minute, this is Susie Craig. For sixty years, the Food and Drug Administration has tracked heavy metals in our food supply. Even trace amounts of arsenic, cadmium, mercury and lead in food, water, and air once ingested stay in our bodies. Heavy metals in food come from naturally occurring and environmental sources. Food may be grown in soil or irrigated with water containing higher levels of heavy metals. Food processing and handling food may increase or decrease levels. Whether naturally occurring or environmental, experts from academia, government, and industry continue to monitor and study their effects on our health.

Ever wondered why the world is addicted to caffeine and coffee? Brace yourselves as we meander through the rich aroma and complex brew of coffee with Dr. Lonnie Lowery, our distinguished guest for the episode. With over two decades of expertise in nutrition, exercise physiology, and academic consulting, Dr. Lowery brings a blend of insights that leaves no stone unturned - from the antioxidant powerhouse that coffee is, to the much-debated timing of the first morning cup.Timeline:0:30 – Tony and I chat a little about Izzy vs. Strickland; what a surprise.3:34 Dr. Lowery's reason for getting the RD after the Ph.D.; the weird ideological views of many in the nutrition field. “What you're doing here is illegal…” says an RD to Dr. Lowery. There is no “license to science” Dr. Lowery says.5:40 Oftentimes times an MS RD degree is sufficient in a Dietetics department; even at R1 institutions.8:20 Dietetics is not just nutrition science even though many of the lay public think of it as “nutrition science.”10:15 Connecting the dots after the fact. What a professional program is like vs. an academic program.15:00 Waiting 2 hours to drink coffee to avoid the afternoon crash? Where's the data?Just because something sounds logical, doesn't make it physiological.16:32 Coffee vs. Caffeine – they aren't the same.16:40 Americans get most of their antioxidants from coffee than from fruits and vegetables.17:38 Coffee really is good for you! Remember that coffee is not just one thing.19:16 Coffee vs. Caffeine (in equal amounts of caffeine) – what does the data say?28:55  How many cups of coffee do you need daily to get the health benefits?33:26 Lonnie's evolution vis a vis his personal training goals – started out in Tae Kwon Do and then bodybuilding. 39:15 Tolkien quote – “Fighting the Long Defeat”39:55 Speed and power decline rapidly with age; Tony is still fighting this loss of speed42:00 Lonnie was a “tissue assassin.” 44:49 The nickel and dime science of sets and reps; Lonnie talks about prescribing a “dose of iron [weight].”About our special guest:Lonnie Lowery is a nutrition and exercise physiology professor of over 20 years, a food industry and academic consultant, a former competitive bodybuilder, and a huge coffee nerd throughout it all.

Food sciences, technology, and globally sustainable food systems Dr. Jonathan Allen and Rebekah Brown, Food Bioprocessing and Nutrition Sciences, NC State University Website | Twitter @fbnsncstate Where the food science and nutrition communities have come and may be going in defining sustainable food systems with examples from research in the NC State Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Department. Abstract Achieving sustainable food systems has been a growing agenda item among scientists, food and nutrition associations, and the food industry. Examples of goals and actions for some of these groups can be contrasted with the projects that individual scientists try to wedge into the sustainability umbrella. Similar examples from past NC State food and nutrition research will show that trends in research funding for specific projects to meet industry needs can now be rewritten to show progress toward a sustainable food system, even when that might not have been the original intent of the research. The research interests of international and domestic students and the groups that provide their funding also create an interesting contrast in this field. Additional progress can be made as we address the teaching and research of our current students to create the future scientists who will evolve the understanding of a sustainable food system. Additionally, Ms. Brown will be reporting briefly on the National Sweetpotato Collaborators Group meeting as it pertains to her research and food science study. The National Sweetpotato Collaborators Group is comprised of stakeholders across industry, academia, and government which meets annually to discuss emerging research. The fields of study present at the meetings include, but are not limited to plant physiology, plant breeding, molecular biology, pathology, entomology, cultural practices, food science, and marketing. The objective of the meeting is the rapid dissemination of information to improve the growth of sweetpotatoes and sweetpotato products in the United States for the benefit of the multiple stakeholders. Ms. Brown's research involved a preliminary consumer survey of health, purchasing habits and acceptance/awareness of biotech in the sweetpotato sector. Related links: National Sweetpotato Collaborators Group Speaker Bios Dr. Jonathan Allen is a professor in the Department of Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Science at North Carolina State University and Director of the Food Science Graduate Program. He teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in milk and dairy products, lactation, exercise nutrition, and energy metabolism. His research projects cover glycemic control as impacted by food processing and bioactive components in foods such as sweet potato, peanuts and milk, nutrient fortification of flour, and processing strategies. Allen has gained an international reputation for the understanding and potential amelioration of such chronic diseases as infant growth retardation, metabolic bone disease, diabetes, and hypertension. He has trained students who hold food industry, government, academic, and NGO positions in more than a dozen countries.

Processed food is bad for you, right? Well, there's more to this story. As new technologies create foods that can't be made in home kitchens, such as plant-based meats and dairy products made with plant proteins, the question of whether we should all be consuming more highly processed foods is up for debate. Advocates say a substantial increase in food processing is the best way to feed growing human populations while also reducing food waste. We should trust – and invest – in food technology that can make our global food supply healthier and more sustainable, including highly or ultra-processed foods. Opponents argue that these kinds of foods are often less nutritious, and are commonly linked to adverse health indices, particularly when it comes to ultra-processing. As this debate blooms, Intelligence Squared partners with the Institute of Food Technologists to debate this question: Should We Eat More Processed Foods?   Arguing in favor of the motion is Amy Webb and Michael Gibney. Arguing against the motion is Kevin Hall and Marion Nestle. Emmy award-winning journalist John Donvan moderates.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Bereits während seines Masterstudiums in den USA war der Schwede Ruben Rausing fasziniert von der amerikanischen Großindustrie. Zudem gewann er einen Eindruck von der rasanten Urbanisierung und ihren Folgen auf den Lebensmittelhandel. Dies hat ihn nachhaltig geprägt, sodass er sich zurück in Schweden dazu entschließt, das erste Verpackungsunternehmen Skandinaviens zu gründen. Auch inspiriert von seiner Frau, die bei der Herstellung von Wurst das Brät in Pelle gefüllt hat, macht sich Rausing mit einem Team seines Unternehmens daran, eine innovative Verpackungsidee zu erfinden. Eine Verpackung, die verderbliche Produkte und hier vor allem für Milch genutzt werden soll. 1943 gelingt dies einem Team um Ruben Rausing und so entsteht eine Verpackung in Form eines Tetraeders, also einer dreiseitigen Pyramide. Die Form ist damit auch Namensgeber der neuen Verpackungsart: Dem Tetra Pak Bald darauf folgt der Tetra Bric. Diesen kennt man insbesondere von H-Milch Verpackungen. Dank des Erfolgs wird 1960 ein großer Meilenstein erreicht. So werden in diesem Jahr mehr als eine Milliarde Tetra Paks hergestellt. In den nächsten Jahren folgen weitere Innovationen und das Verpackungskonzept geht um die Welt. So finden sich Fabriken in den USA, Mexiko, Deutschland, aber auch der UdSSR und das, obwohl der Kalte Krieg herrscht. 1981 beträgt der weltweite Umsatz des Unternehmens 1,1 Mrd. Dollar - der Autobauer Audi hat zu diesem Zeitpunkt einen Umsatz von 2,5 Mrd. Dollar. Welchen Einfluss Tetra Pak auf uns alle hat, zeigt sich auch darin, dass die aseptische Verpackungstechnologie vom Institute of Food Technologists als die wichtigste Lebensmittelverpackungsinnovation des 20.

There are a lot of misconceptions behind Cannabinoids. Most people associate them only with recreational use, putting them on the same level as other more dangerous and addictive drugs. Whereas some consumers use cannabinoids just for fun, this is far beyond the spectrum of their use and benefits. Recent scientific studies indicated that Cannabinoids are highly beneficial for our health. Not only can they help with insomnia, anxiety, and pain, but they can also be very helpful in helping people reduce the cravings for certain drug addictions, like, for instance, opioids, painkillers, and nicotine. While these are all highly addictive drugs, Cannabinoids don't create a dependency in the brain, so people have the power to use them and stop as their own judgment. Today's guest, Carolina Vazquez Mitchell, will tell us about her move to the United States to study pharmacology, her passion for chemistry and drugs, and why she decided to open her own cannabis company.

If you enjoy garlic, you are probably well aware that there is a downside to eating it - and that is it can make your breath stink. This episode begins with some easy and simple and practical advice from the Institute of Food Technologists that will neutralize garlic odor from your breath as well as from your fingers so you can eat as much of it as you like and not worry smelling like garlic. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/02/130204142609.htm It sounds strange when you say it out loud, but we humans like to suffer - sometimes. There are things we do that we probably wouldn't do if they were easy and painless. It's the suffering we endure that makes them meaningful. In fact, without suffering, life would be pretty dull according to Paul Bloom, a professor of psychology at Yale and author of the book The Sweet Spot: The Pleasures of Suffering and the Search for Meaning (https://amzn.to/3K5Zdci) . Listen as he explains why pleasure without suffering is somehow not as satisfying.  The first amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees us the right to free speech. Yet, a lot of people don't really understand what that right really means or how that right has evolved over time according to attorney Ian Rosenberg. Ian serves as legal counsel for ABC News, teaches media law at Brooklyn College and is author of the book Free Speech Handbook: A Practical Framework for Understanding Our Free Speech Protections (https://amzn.to/3HZ8W25). He joins me to discuss what the right to free speech does and doesn't allow.   Most breakfast cereals kids like have a lot of added sugar and sugar consumption is something many parents worry about.

183 Probiotics Improve Mind Treatments – Trenev

Probiotics Reports: How They Improve the MindThe real voyage of discovery is not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.~ Marcel ProustNatasha Trenev  - As a developmental scientist, health activist, and internationally renowned probiotic authority, Natasha Trenev has spent years studying the effects of beneficial bacteria and has written several books on the subject of how http://corebrainjournal.com/175 (probiotics improve the mind and overall health). Co-founder of Natren, Inc., she is a member of the American Society of Microbiology, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Institute of Food Technologists, Anaerobe Society of the Americas, and the American Dairy Science Association. She's considered by many "The Mother of Probiotics." Her considerable accomplishments that appear in her show notes here confirm this accolade. Brief IntroductionFollowing her graduation from UCLA in 1970, a decade of research led to Natasha's development of the first revolutionary method of producing an effective and scientifically validated single strain probiotic bacteria product. Her efforts led to the establishment of the entire probiotics category in North America, Australia, England, Holland, and Belgium. Her interesting views on probiotic specificity are, in a word, remarkable. Significant ContributionsSome of Natasha Trenev's accomplishments include: Introduced the previously unknown category of probiotics to the North American health food industry and dietary supplement industry; Authored the Dairy Standards for liquid yogurt adopted by the California Department of Agriculture in 1969; Established perishable sections in the health food stores across the nation from 1970-73 to sell yogurt; Assisted in establishing perishable distributors nationwide to sell yogurt; Worked with the Vice President of United Airlines to establish user-friendly rates to ship perishables cross country by air in 1971; Authored Probiotic Standards adopted by the National Nutritional Foods Association in July of 1989; Established the National Standards for Probiotics read into The Congressional Record in 1995; Committed 35 years to convince retailers to sell probiotics in refrigerated sections of stores; Invested 35 years educating the public, professionals, doctors, and scientists that probiotics are the most important health concept of the 21st Century Today, https://www.natren.com/white-papers.html (Natasha's reference library) is the world's largest private repository on the multiple implications of probiotics, and is referenced and recommended by prominent research scientists and medical schools. *Photo by https://unsplash.com/photos/QP-udFdEcoo?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText (Drica Pinotti) on https://unsplash.com/?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText (Unsplash) -----------Natasha's Experience In Setting Probiotic StandardsIn 1980, I made arrangements with a research facility that gave me access to a laboratory, where I began culturing my own probiotic supplements. I processed cultures, supervised the freeze-drying and powdering processes, and even helped with the bottling. Everything was billed and shipped from my home. My husband trucked in dry ice every day to keep the live bacteria supplements from deteriorating in the garage, where we were forced to keep them stored. For many years, I found myself continually frustrated by the lack of established standards for probiotics. Probiotics of the finest quality competed in the marketplace with probiotic products of such poor quality that I knew the consumer could not possibly benefit from them. http://corebrainjournal.com/testing (Without reliable standards in place), there was no way for a consumer to compare the worth of any probiotic products and benefits. For example, L. acidophilus was well known as a beneficial bacteria for humans by...

Episode 18: Food Evolution Documentary and Chewing the Fat on GMOs This week Ben, Celestia, and Pascual open with a discussion on what people consider uncanny, bizarre, or strange. What takes something from implausible to downright mysterious? An understanding of statistics is one angle to consider, but ignorance of particular fields is also at work: from the World Trade Center to the pyramids to cancer remissions, people who lack the relevant technical knowledge are the ones gobsmacked by particular events or facts. Headline writers emphasize this “bizarre” aspect without providing context, leading many to jump right to conspiracy theories or supernatural explanations. Then Celestia, back from the 2017 meeting of the Institute of Food Technologists, discusses the new GMO documentary, Food Evolution. The film was funded by IFT but director Scott Hamilton Kennedy was given complete control over topic, content, and approach, and he chose to tackle the human side of the GMO/organic controversy. Kennedy did a beautiful job bringing the human element to the forefront and takes viewers along a persuasive narrative of finding common ground and changing minds. Celestia, Pascual, and Ben touch on hot button topics like GMO labeling, evil corporations like Monsanto, and patenting living organisms. We also discuss the negative feedback the movie has so far received, and the strength (or rather lack of strength) in the arguments that the anti-GMO crowd has put forth. Namely, a Huffington Post columnist supported by organic industries decries the appearance of a logo in the film's background, and Mike Adams calls Neil deGrasse Tyson a race traitor. Lastly, we let you know how to check for a screening of Food Evolution in your area, and give shoutouts to some online resources for anyone wanting to learn more about GMO tech.
