Effect of sorghum consumption on health outcomes: a systematic review.

Context: Sorghum, an ancient grain originating in Africa, may have health-protective properties that could encourage its consumption among those who do not traditionally consume it.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to evaluate the health effects associated with the consumption of sorghum among humans.

Data Sources: Academic databases were searched for relevant studies published between 1985 and November 2015.

The theory of planned behaviour and discrete food choices: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The combination of economic and social costs associated with non-communicable diseases provide a compelling argument for developing strategies that can influence modifiable risk factors, such as discrete food choices. Models of behaviour, such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) provide conceptual order that allows program designers and policy makers to identify the substantive elements that drive behaviour and design effective interventions. The primary aim of the current review was to examine the association between TPB variables and discrete food choice behaviours.

The Theory of Planned Behaviour and dietary patterns: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: Promoting adherence to healthy dietary patterns is a critical public health issue. Models of behaviour, such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) allow programme designers to identify antecedents of dietary patterns and design effective interventions. The primary aim of this study was to examine the association between TPB variables and dietary patterns.

Physiological Effects Associated with Quinoa Consumption and Implications for Research Involving Humans: a Review.

Quinoa is a pseudo-grain consumed as a dietary staple in South America. In recent years, consumer demand for quinoa in the developed world has grown steadily. Its perceived health benefits have been cited as a driving force behind this trend, but there are very few human studies investigating the impact of quinoa consumption.
