Alzheimer鈥檚 disease and thiamine deficiency are linked in that both relate to cognitive deficits and decreases in glucose metabolism for the brain. Additionally, too much thiamine lowers the Alzheimer鈥檚 disease like symptoms or the potentiality. #Gibson #Food2150 #Assignment

With a growing population, sustainability is Crucial. There have been recent advances in non-animal proteins as alternative ingredients in meat products such as a hamburger. Will this option improve the use of the world鈥檚 natural resources like land and water? #Jones #Food2150

2 bovine casein peptides have been found to lower hypertensive activity, by inhibiting angiotensin-converting enzymes. These benefits are causing the pharmaceutical sector to start to see the potential of using the bioactive peptides from casein molecules. @UofGFoodProf #nagpal

Thiamine is a vitamin commonly found in grains. Deficiency of thiamine has been linked to neurological problems and cognitive deficits. This is because of thiamine-dependent enzymes play integral roles in the metabolism of glucose in the brain. @UofGFoodProf #Gibson #Food2150

Hooper鈥檚 study concluded that saturated fats can be replaced by polyunsaturated fats , monounsaturated fats or carbohydrates. However, carbohydrates provide no health benefits and polyunsaturated fats result in food being susceptible to oxidation. #Hooper #Food2150 #Assignment

Cholesterol is often linked to heart disease. Contrarily, Inuit consume a diet rich in animal fat, which increase cholesterol levels, but have very low rates of heart disease. Is this a evolutionary adaptation or do our diet recommendations need to be rethought? #Bang #FOOD2150

Corn is ranked as the number one crop in terms of production in Ontario. The high levels of increasing productivity are due to the development of hybrid varieties, the evolution of agricultural practices, and advancements in biotechnology. @UofGFoodProf #Food2150 #Hamel

@UofGFoodProf @ImpossibleFoods There is amazing potential in grains, veggies and microbiological systems to create meat-analog food products! The challenge lies in extracting and processing these proteins to make "meat" products with appealing physical structure #Jones #Food2150

The impact of consuming saturated fats (SF) is a hot topic! Evidence shows that by reducing SF content in our diets, the risk of combined cardiovascular events is decreased. By replacing SF with PUFAs, the likeliness of these events reduced by 27%. @UofGFoodProf #liu #food2150

#Bang found that Danish Eskimo populations had increased cholesterol levels compared to Greenland Eskimos.Could this be solely due to the differences between the Greenland Eskimo diet (high in polyunsaturated fats) and the Danish, Western Diet (high in saturated fats)?#assignment

Polyunsaturated fats can be found in oils like sunflower oil and olive oil, while saturated fatty acids are in milk, palm fat and cocoa butter. Consuming polyunsaturated fats instead of carbohydrates is said to improve cardiovascular health. #Marangoni #Food2150 #Assignment

The western diet has a strong connection to the increase in Type 2 Diabetes, so much that in 2030, it could cost $490 billion. Life choices impact this condition's presence, like smoking, which increases the risk of developing diabetes by 45%. @UofGFoodProf #Hu #food2150
