Linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that is found in corn, peanut, soybean, safflower and sunflower oils, is the most common omega-6 in the US food supply. Many people have a significant ...
Long-term supplementation with relatively large amounts of folic acid is associated with a small reduction in the risk of stroke [12] and an increased risk of prostate cancer. [13] There are concerns that large amounts of supplemental folic acid can hide vitamin B 12 deficiency. [1] Not consuming enough folate can lead to folate deficiency. [1]
Vitamin K is a family of structurally similar, fat-soluble vitamers found in foods and marketed as dietary supplements. [1] The human body requires vitamin K for post-synthesis modification of certain proteins that are required for blood coagulation ("K" from Danish koagulation, for "coagulation") or for controlling binding of calcium in bones and other tissues.

[3] [57] [58] Two 2020 meta-analyses found that a high fiber intake was associated with a lower risk of both premenopausal and postmenopausal breast cancers [59] and a higher survival rate in patients with breast cancer. [60] A 2021 review found that there is moderate-quality evidence 200g of fruit intake per day is associated with a lower risk ...
A large 2020 study, published in the International Journal of Epidemiology, concluded that a high intake of red and processed meat was strongly associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer ...
New tests done by the Environmental Working Group have found 21 oat-based cereals and snack bars popular amongst children to have "troubling levels of glyphosate." The chemical, which is the ...
Glutamate is a prime example of an excitotoxin in the brain, and it is also the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system of mammals. [14] During normal conditions, glutamate concentration can be increased up to 1mM in the synaptic cleft, which is rapidly decreased in the lapse of milliseconds. [15]
Further research into the compound has found that only the L-glutamate enantiomer has flavor-enhancing properties. [3] Manufactured monosodium glutamate consists to over 99.6% of the naturally predominant L-glutamate form, which is a higher proportion of L-glutamate than can be found in the free glutamate ions of fermented naturally occurring ...
