The Association of Potato Intake with Risk for Incident Type 2 Diabetes in Adults
ConclusionsOur findings indicate that, in Tehranian adults, a moderate intake of dietary total and boiled, but not fried, potatoes may be associated with a lower risk for incident diabetes.RésuméObjectifsDes études antérieures indiquent que le risque de diabète associé à une consommation élevée de pomme de terre diffère selon les populations. Nous avons cherché à étudier les associations entre l'ingestion de pommes de terre sous forme bouillie, frite ou totale et le risque d'incidence de diabète chez les adultes téhéranais.MéthodesCette étude de cohorte a été menée chez 1 981 adultes, âgés de 19 à 7...

Impact of pulsed electric field (PEF) pretreatment on process performance of industrial French fries production
Publication date: October 2018 Source:Journal of Food Engineering, Volume 235 Author(s): T. Fauster, D. Schlossnikl, F. Rath, R. Ostermeier, F. Teufel, S. Toepfl, H. Jaeger The application of pulsed electric fields in industrial scale potato processing was investigated regarding its impact on process performance and product quality. The PEF induced cell disintegration was measured by impedance analysis and texture softening was analyzed by cutting force measurements. Softening of the tissue was found to improve the cutting behavior leading to a smoother cutting surface and up to 80% less feathering. Thereby, starc...

The effect of a portion size intervention on French fries consumption, plate waste, satiety and compensatory caloric intake: an on-campus restaurant experiment
One of the driving factors of dietary overconsumption throughout the last decennia is the increase of food portion sizes. Larger portions induce higher daily energy intake, so reducing portion size may reduce ... (Source: Nutrition Journal)

Were policies in Brazil effective to reducing trans fat from industrial origin in foods?
CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that Brazilian regulatio n is very likely implicated in the observed drop in trans fatty acids of the most processed foods but has yet to eliminate them, which reinforces the urgent need to revise the legislation, since a minimum amount of trans fat does not mean that the food product does not contain this type of fat.

Acrylamide content in French fries prepared in households: A pilot study in Spanish homes
Publication date: 15 September 2018 Source:Food Chemistry, Volume 260 Author(s): Marta Mesias, Cristina Delgado-Andrade, Francisca Holgado, Francisco J. Morales An observational cross-sectional pilot study in 73 Spanish households was conducted to evaluate the impact of consumer practices on the formation of acrylamide during the preparation of French fries from fresh potatoes applying one stage frying. 45.2% of samples presented acrylamide concentrations above the benchmark level for French fries (500 µg/kg). 6.9% of samples exceeded 2000 µg/kg and the 95th percentile was 2028 µg/kg. The median and average ...

Modifiable lifestyle factors and ovarian cancer incidence in women.
CONCLUSIONS: A diet rich in fruit and vegetables, including bulb vegetables, and grain products containing whole grains, should be introduced. It is recommended that the consumption of popular fast foods be eliminated. PMID: 29575880 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Annals of Agricultural and Environmental Medicine : AAEM)

Applying Multiple Statistical Methods to Derive an Index of Dietary Behaviors Most Related to Obesity.
Abstract To evaluate the success of dietary interventions, we need measures that are more easily assessed and closely aligned with intervention messaging. An index of obesogenic dietary behaviors (e.g., task-eating, servings of fruits and vegetables, fast food, and soft-drinks) may serve this purpose and could be derived via data-driven methods typically used to describe nutrient intake. We used behavioral and physical measurement (i.e., body mass index, waist circumference) data from a subset of two independent cross-sectional samples of employees at baseline (2005-2007) (n = 561) and follow-up (2007-20...

Applying Multiple Statistical Methods to Derive an Index of Dietary Behaviors Most Related to Obesity
AbstractTo evaluate the success of dietary interventions, we need measures that are more easily assessed and that closely align with intervention messaging. An index of obesogenic dietary behaviors (e.g., consumption of fast food and soft drinks, low fruit and vegetable consumption, and task eating (eating while engaging in other activities)) may serve this purpose and could be derived via data-driven methods typically used to describe nutrient intake. We used behavioral and physical measurement (i.e., body mass index, waist circumference) data from a subset of 2 independent cross-sectional samples of employees enrolled in...

Characterization of tocopherols, tocotrienols and total carotenoids in deep-fat fried French fries
Publication date: June 2018 Source:Journal of Food Composition and Analysis, Volume 69 Author(s): Ogan I. Mba, Marie-Josée Dumont, Michael Ngadi French fries were deep-fat fried in crude palm oil (CPO), refined canola oil (RCO) and a blend of CPO/RCO (1:1 w/w) at 170 °C for different durations. The fries were analyzed for the presence of certain bioactive nutrients originating from the frying oils. The French fries absorbed over 50% of total carotenoids, 40% of tocotrienols and <20% of tocopherols from the oils. The order of enrichment based on the frying oil was CPO/RCO blend> CPO > RCO. Th...

Changes in Frequency Intake of Foods in Patients Undergoing Sleeve Gastrectomy and Following a Strict Dietary Control
ConclusionOne year after sleeve gastrectomy, calibrated with a 50-French bougie, there are not important problems in the intake of foods a priori difficult to digest. These problems mostly disappeared 5  years after surgery. The decrease intake of other unhealthy foods is mostly based on the dietary counseling. (Source: Obesity Surgery)
