Dietary Connections

61.5K
In biological systems, most metabolic pathways are interconnected. The cellular respiration processes that convert glucose to ATP—such as glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle—tie into those that break down other organic compounds. As a result, various foods—from apples to cheese to guacamole—end up as ATP. In addition to carbohydrates, food also contains proteins and lipids—such as cholesterol and fats. All of these organic compounds are used...

Proteins: Dietary Sources and Requirements

1.6K
Consuming animal-based products offers high-quality proteins that contain optimal levels and combinations of essential amino acids, crucial for tissue repair and growth. Foods like eggs, milk, fish, and most meats are a source of complete proteins. Legumes and cereals are abundant in proteins; however, they typically lack a full range of essential amino acids. As a result, they are considered incomplete protein sources. Some plant sources like soybeans, quinoa, and amaranth do contain complete...

Carbohydrates: Dietary Sources and Requirements

1.6K
Carbohydrates are predominantly obtained from plant sources. With the exception of lactose found in milk and insignificant glycogen amounts in meat, most consumed carbohydrates have plant origins. Monosaccharides and disaccharides, or sugars, can be sourced from fruits, honey, milk, sugar cane, and sugar beets. Grains and vegetables are rich in the polysaccharide starch. Two types of polysaccharides provide fiber: cellulose, which is abundant in many vegetables, forms undigestible roughage or...

Lipids: Dietary Sources and Requirements

1.9K
Lipids are an essential component of a balanced human diet. Triglycerides, which make up the majority of dietary lipids, are found in both saturated fats—commonly present in meat, dairy products, and certain tropical plants like coconut, and hydrogenated oils such as margarine and baking shortenings (trans fats)—and unsaturated fats, which are abundant in seeds, nuts, olive oil, and most vegetable oils. The main sources of cholesterol include egg yolks, various meats and organ...

Labeling Emotion01:20

Labeling Emotion

609
Emotional labeling is a cognitive process that involves identifying and naming one's emotions, such as anger, fear, happiness, or sadness. It allows individuals to recognize and express their internal emotional states, a critical aspect of emotional regulation and communication. Labeling emotions requires more than mere recognition; it also involves drawing upon memory and contextual cues to understand the current situation and apply a corresponding emotional label. For instance, feeling...

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Public Health
  • Database Management

Background:

  • Dietary supplement use is widespread in the U.S., yet comprehensive databases have been limited.
  • The Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD) was established in 2008 as a public resource for supplement composition data.
  • Accessible data is vital for understanding potential health effects of supplement ingredients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the history, features, and applications of the DSLD.
  • To highlight recent enhancements and ongoing development of the database.
  • To demonstrate the utility of the DSLD for various stakeholders.

Main Methods:

  • The DSLD was developed and is periodically updated to reflect market changes.
  • Usability testing with users informed interface improvements.
  • The database incorporates over 71,000 dietary supplement labels.

Main Results:

  • The DSLD provides accessible information on dietary supplement composition.
  • Recent updates include an improved interface and mobile compatibility (as of 2017).
  • The database has been utilized for research, exposure monitoring, and other applications since 2008.

Conclusions:

  • The DSLD is a valuable, evolving resource for tracking supplement products and composition.
  • Its extensive label collection supports diverse applications for policymakers, researchers, clinicians, and consumers.
