Many people drink dairy milk (from a cow) as a healthy source of calcium and protein. In every eight-ounce cup of dairy milk, there are eight grams of protein and twelve grams of carbohydrates. It?s also rich in other nutrients as well: one cup provides adults with about 30 percent of their daily calcium needs and about 50 percent of their vitamin B12 and riboflavin requirements. Despite these ...

Background: Obesity is an escalating public health problem. Adipose tissue synthesizes and secretes a variety of biological molecules, termed adipcytokines, that may contribute to obesity-linked metabolic abnormalities including cardiovascular diseases. Objectives: We compared the effects of cowʹs milk, calcium-fortified soy milk, and a calcium supplement on adipo cytokines in premenopausal ove...

Peptonized milk agar with Actidione proved to be superior to either Trypticase soy agar or soil extract agar for enumeration of soil bacteria.

Lactose intolerance is frequently encountered in children with persistent diarrhoea (PD). Selection of an appropriate milk-based formulation is a major management problem in the developing world. In a consecutive series of studies, we evaluated the role of feeding a traditional rice-lentil (khitchri) diet alone (KY) or in combination with either soy formula (KY-Soy) a dilute buffalo milk (KY-B)...

Methods We investigated 3 groups of patients for identifying the food hypersensitivity. 1. Group 60 patients with symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) without a diagnosis of organic gastrointestinal disease. 2. Group 19 patients with atopic dermatitis, polysenzitization to inhalant, not to food allergens. 3. Group 6 infants (3-12 months old) with intestinal symptoms (bloody stool and abdo...

The production of extracellular hydrolases by a psychrotrophic bacterium isolated from refrigerated raw milk, and identified as a Pseudomonas sp. belonging to the Pseudomonas jenssenii group, was studied. This bacterium produced proteolytic and lipolytic enzymes in all media investigated (skim milk, cheese whey, casein broth, and tryptone soy broth). High levels of α-glucosidase were produced i...

One hundred seventy pigs averaging 21 +/- 1 d of age (initially 5.4 and 5.8 kg, respectively) were used in each of two experiments to determine the effect that further heat processing by moist extrusion has on the nutritional value of soybean products fed to the early-weaned pig (d 0 to 14 postweaning). The experiments were designed as randomized complete blocks with treatments arranged as a 2 ...

CONTEXT A large body of evidence documents the role of phytoestrogens in influencing hormone-dependent states. Infants fed soy formula receive high levels of phytoestrogens, in the form of soy isoflavones, during a stage of development at which permanent effects are theoretically possible. However, a paucity of data exists on the long-term effects of infant soy formulas. OBJECTIVE To examine ...

OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of soy allergy in IgE-associated cow's milk allergy (CMA). STUDY DESIGN Children <3.5 years with documented IgE-associated CMA (n = 93) were evaluated for soy allergy by double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge, open challenge, or convincing previous history of an anaphylactic reaction to soy. Children tolerant to soy at entry received soy formula...

Resistance exercise is fundamentally anabolic and as such stimulates the process of skeletal muscle protein synthesis (MPS) in an absolute sense and relative to skeletal muscle protein breakdown (MPB). However, the net effect of resistance exercise is to shift net protein balance (NPB = MPS - MPB) to a more positive value; however, in the absence of feeding NPB remains negative. Feeding stimula...
