2008-04-24 Cattle Feed Byproducts: Production Response To Distillers Gains

Milk production was usually similar to production with control diets, and in many cases higher, when fed any amount of DGS (Table 1). With dried DGS, production tended to be highest for diets containing up to 30 pct. DGS, while with wet DGS, production was highest when fed up to 20 pct. DGS (Kalscheur, 2005). To illustrate this point, when Kleinschmit et al. (2006b) used a standard, good quality dried DGS to evaluate the response to two specially processed dried DGS products intended to have even better quality, milk production was higher for all three dried DGS products evaluated than for soybean meal-based control diet with only small additional differences in response due to the improved dried DGS quality.

2008-04-17 Diet Designed To Lower Blood Pressure May Also Fight Heart Disease And Stroke

To further examine the association between the diet and cardiovascular health, Teresa T. Fung, Sc. D. (Simmons College, Boston) and colleagues analyzed 88,517 female nurses, age 34 to 59, who participated in the Nurses Health Study. None of the women had cardiovascular disease or diabetes in 1980. On seven occasions throughout the 1980 through 2004 time period, participants in the study detailed the types of foods they ate frequently over the past year. The researchers used eight food and nutrient components from these data to develop a DASH score for each woman. If women ate more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and legumes and did not stray far from the suggested amounts of low-fat dairy products, then their DASH scores increased. As participants ate more red and processed meats, sweetened beverages, and sodium, their scores

With 0 pct. WCGF, increasing alfalfa level increased ADG and DMI with no effect on feed conversion. With 35 pct. WCGF, increasing alfalfa hay increased ADG and DMI, but hindered (increased) feed conversion linearly. It appears that roughage can be decreased in DRC-based diets that contain 35 pct. or more WCGF. The ADG was reduced for the 0 pct. hay, 35 pct. WCGF treatment, so a small amount of roughage is recommended even when WCGF is included. Similar results have been observed with SFC based diets where alfalfa can be reduced to 2 pct. with at least 25 pct. WCGF (Sindt et al. , 2001). Parsons et al. (2001) observed no change in feed conversion when roughage was decreased from 9 to 0 pct. alfalfa in SFC diets with 40 pct. Sweet Bran WCGF. However, in their study, DMI and ADG decreased linearly. Just as with data in conventional corn-based diets, optimum amount of

2008-04-26 James Island-Folly Beach News: Americans shopping smarter for groceries, study suggests

Despite the many predictions that the economy is in a recession, the U. S. weight-loss market money spent on low-fat, diet foods is expected to reach usd. 69 billion in 2010, the study states. The new trend is that consumers are buying food that helps manage their weight via smaller portions, such as snacks with 100 calories, and foods that "fill you up," such as specialty waters and diet products. Many restaurants, including fast-food restaurants, have incorporated low-fat or low-carbohydrate options into their menus. According to a 2007 study from the National Restaurant Association, french fry sales are the lowest theyve been in 15 years, Sloan notes.

2008-04-24 Bloated Take wind out of your sails - Nutrition News - Gold Coast, QLD, Australia

There are two types of fibre in our diet, soluble and insoluble. Soluble fibre, which is found naturally in foods such as oats, psyllium husks, legumes and the flesh of fruit, absorbs fluids in the intestine to work towards forming a soft bowel motion. This type of fibre is far less likely to produce gas than insoluble fibre. Insoluble fibres, which provide bulky mass to the bowel motion can create gas, are found in bran-based products, green leafy vegetables, the skin on fruit and unrefined grain products (eg. wholegrain and seedy breads). If you suffer excess wind, it may be beneficial to focus on more soluble fibres to meet your fibre requirements. Chat with your local accredited practicing dietitian for help.

Nuts are a delicious source of protein but be careful - they are very high in calories due to their fat levels. Beans such as lentils, low fat cheeses, cottage cheese, and egg whites are other excellent sources of protein with lower fat levels. Many vegetarians eat soy-based products, such as tofu and bean curd, to ensure that they are getting enough protein in their diets to remain healthy. There are also many delicious soy-based meat alternative products that are sold at your local grocery store in the produce section that can provide you with easily accessible protein-rich foods.

2008-04-15 Daily Herald How to make sure your vegetarian child eats right

Fortified fruit and vegetable juices, dried fruit, and raw and cooked vegetables and fruits should all be selected to create a balanced vegetarian diet. Since meat is obviously not going to be included in such a diet, your vegetarian child also needs to rely on legumes (peas, beans, etc. ), nuts, and soy and dairy products as alternate sources of protein.

If your child is following a strict vegan meal plan, she will be avoiding all animal products, including eggs and dairy, as well as meat. Vegans need to seek out several essential nutrients that otherwise will be missing from their diets. Fortified nondairy milks, some breakfast cereals and supplements can help provide calcium and the important vitamins B-12 and D.

Dr. Siegals weight loss system features his hunger-controlling diet cookies, shakes and soup which contain his secret blend of certain amino acids, the basic components of food proteins. He conceived the idea of a cookie-based diet in the early 1970s while writing a book on food substances that suppress hunger without drugs. In 1975, after years of experimentation on family and friends, he perfected his formula and baked it into a cookie. Acceptance by his patients was immediate and soon Dr. Siegals and reg; COOKIE DIET was the exclusive approach to weight loss at his South Florida medical practice,

2008-04-09 New products: Good or not

I am not a fan of these products for a variety of reasons. While they are promoted for health, they dont address the major health issues of obesity, heart disease and diabetes. Most people do not suffer from low levels of B vitamins or Vitamin C. The vitamins that typically we see Americans deficient in are calcium, Vitamin D, and folate and most products do not capitalize on these. In addition, many of the products have significant amounts of calories. Each 20- ounce bottle of vitamin water contains 125 calories with 13 grams of sugar from high fructose corn syrup called crystalline fructose. This is close to the amount of calories in a can of soda. For those grabbing it with health in mind, they often make the assumption that it is a healthy choice based on the marketing, not realizing how many calories it supplies.
