The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between dietary fibre intake and some clinical indices, blood biochemical variables and the incidence of cardiovascular disease and cancers in France, taking advantage of an ongoing cohort, the Supplementation en Vitamines et Minéraux AntioXydants (SU.VI.MAX) intervention study. This preliminary report provides data on dietary fibre intake in this French adult population group of 4080 subjects (2168 men and 1912 women) aged 45-65 years at inclusion. The data obtained for fibre intake indicate that most men and women have low to moderate intakes of total dietary fibre (mean 21.0 and 17.1 g/d respectively), with only 21 % of the men and 7 % of the women having total dietary fibre intakes at the recommended level (i.e. > 25 g/d) and soluble fibre accounting for 19 % of the total dietary fibre intake for both genders. The main food sources of dietary fibre are cereals (30-35 % total), vegetables (20-24 % total) and fruit (19-22 % total). No marked regional differences were observed within France. The highest dietary fibre intakes have been found to be associated with a lower BMI, blood systolic pressure, plasma triacylglycerols and plasma glucose in men and lower BMI in women. Overall, these data support the concept of a beneficial effect of a high dietary fibre intake on cardiovascular disease risk.

Current research primarily focuses on the pathological mechanisms of spinal cord injury (SCI), seeking to promote spinal cord repair and restore motorial and sensory functions by elucidating mechanisms of cell death or axonal regeneration. However, SCI is almost irreversible, and patients often struggle to regain mobility or self-care abilities after injuries. Consequently, there has been significant interest in modulating systemic symptoms following SCI to improve patients' quality of life.

Food allergies are increasing globally, particularly in Asia; however, the etiologies of allergic diseases remain poorly understood despite comprehensive studies conducted across a variety of populations. Epidemiological research demonstrates that food allergy is more prevalent in Westernized or urbanized societies than in rural or developing ones. As such, comparing the distribution and patterns of food allergies as well as the environmental exposures between regions may provide insight into potential causal and protective factors of food allergy.

Article Synopsis
- Prolamins found in wheat, barley, and rye are linked to health issues like celiac disease and wheat allergies, pushing the need for gluten-free alternatives like rice flour, though its products are not as high-tech.
- Adding low-fat desiccated coconut flour and xanthan gum to rice flour significantly improves the quality and properties of gluten-free cakes, impacting viscosity, moisture, and texture.
- The study successfully optimized a gluten-free cake recipe, achieving improved sensory qualities (taste, texture, etc.) through careful ratios of rice flour, coconut flour, and xanthan gum, validated by strong statistical models.

This study investigated the effects of incorporating defatted rice bran (DRB) at different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, and 2%) on the quality, microbiological, and sensory characteristics of probiotic low-fat yogurt (LFY) during a 21-day storage period at 4°C.

Both extractable and nonextractable phenolics are present in significant amounts in peel with diverse bioactivities. While extractable phenolics can be recovered from the fruit peels by conventional extraction methods, nonextractable phenolics remaining in the residues must be released from the cell matrix first by hydrolysis with acid, alkali, or enzymes.
