Antioxidants are good for skin, but moringa has no advantage over dozens of other options, including green tea or pomegranate.

The Arizona Health Department acted after the director of the food sciences and Research Laboratory at Arizona State submitted a study alleging that higher than normal temperatures could lead to a dangerous breakdown in the chemical composition. The author of this dictionary checked with representatives of the Food and Drug Administration.

Aspartame (Nutrasweet) - Is It Safe? H.J. Roberts, M.D. See book keywords and concepts

Hattan (Chief, Regulatory Affairs Staff, Office of Nutrition and food sciences, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition of the FDA) told me that he was not aware of any such recent analyses (personal communication, June 8, 1987). Three older references on this subject are repeatedly cited. They were published in French (Le Moan 1956), German (Sommer 1962), and Russian (Ivanitskiy 1973). I question their relevance to aspartame, however, owing to the emphasis on methanol in pectin-containing fruit and fruit products, some vegetables, wines and other alcoholic beverages.

Hattan (Chief, Regulatory Affairs Staff at the FDA Office of Nutrition and food sciences) subsequently provided me with a summary of the information up to July 1987 on 149 consumers with alleged aspartame-induced convulsions. The data appear in Tables 9-1 and 9-2. It is noteworthy that the majority (87.2%) of reactions were classed as Type I (most severe category). The majority of these complainants also cited other aspartame-associated problems.

Monte, Chairman of the food sciences Department at Arizona State University, informed me that up to 60 per cent of 1,300 alleged aspartame reactors who contacted him had ocular complaints. Their symptoms included blurred vision, bright flashes, tunnel vision and blindness. The FDA has received complaints from 177 consumers who attributed their visual changes to aspartame products. The data, kindly supplied by Dr. Linda Tollefson (August 12, 1987), appear in Table 14-1. Table 14-1.

University of New Hampshire in Durham. "It helps to break down the molecules in foods and either rearrange them into a form your body can use for energy or store them for later use as energy." Thiamin interacts with several enzymes, the biochemical spark plugs that get chemical reactions going in your body. "Several of the enzymes involved in the process of breaking down carbohydrates for energy require thiamin," Dr. Curran-Celentano explains. The fatigue associated with thiamin deficiency is, figuratively, the equivalent of a clogged carburetor.

University of California at Davis, suggests that red wine decreases the damage done by LDL. But don't reach for the burgundy just yet. White wine may confer the same benefits as red. Arthur L. Klasky, M.D., chief of cardiology at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Oakland, California, analyzed the medical records of 81,825 social drinkers for a period of ten years. Wine drinkers had 30 percent fewer heart attacks than beer and liquor drinkers, but wine drinkers who preferred red and those who preferred white had the same heart attack rates. Dr.

Texas Women's University, cites several reasons why we all need more vitamin E:46 • Our needs for vitamin E increase whenever we add more foods high in PUFA in our diets, as most of us in the past few years have done in response to advice on avoiding cardiovascular difficulties. • Most of us eat a lot of refined foods, which give us only marginal amounts of vitamin E. M. K. Horwitt, Ph.D., a biochemistry professor at the St. Louis University School of Medicine, agrees with Dr. Witting that many of our foods have been depleted of their tocopherol in the refining process.

Cornell. "That's an unrealistic amount for humans, but since we fed the animals only certain components of the juice, the actual protective effect of whole juice may be greater than the results suggested. Humans may be able to obtain protective effects at lower levels, particularly if they consume the juice regularly over a long period of time." The research on limonene has been so promising that researchers in England are testing its effects on breast cancer. "The way that limonene acts on tumor cells or lesions is really interesting and unique," says Michael Gould, Ph.D.
