Published: February 2006

Nine male, endurance-trained cyclists performed an interval workout followed by 4 h of recovery, and a subsequent endurance trial to exhaustion at 70% VO2max, on three separate days. Immediately following the first exercise bout and 2 h of recovery, subjects drank isovolumic amounts of chocolate milk, fluid replacement drink (FR), or carbohydrate replacement drink (CR), in a single-blind, randomized design. Carbohydrate content was equivalent for chocolate milk and CR. Time to exhaustion (TTE), average heart rate (HR), rating of perceived exertion (RPE), and total work (WT) for the endurance exercise were compared between trials. TTE and WT were significantly greater for chocolate milk and FR trials compared to CR trial. The results of this study suggest that chocolate milk is an effective recovery aid between two exhausting exercise bouts.

Background: Poor diet quality may contribute to undernutrition, particularly affecting young children from low-income households. Therefore, affordable and healthy local food-based recommendations (FBRs) are needed.

Objectives: This study aimed to (1) identify problem nutrient(s), (2) identify locally available nutrient-dense food sources that can provide adequate nutrients to meet the recommended dietary intakes of undernourished urban poor children aged 2-5 years, and (3) use linear programming to recommend a daily diet based on the current food patterns that achieves dietary adequacy and meets average food costs for these children.

There is a growing demand for a plant-based diet (meat analogue/plant-based milk) due to an increase in awareness towards health issues, environmental sustainability, and animal ethical issues. The replacement of dairy has recently been one of the market efforts to fulfill such demand. Yet, challenges arise when consumers are reluctant to accept plant-based milk (PBM) due to the mismatch of organoleptic profile between PBM and the actual dairy.

Pediatric Dentistry and Dental Public Health Department.Faculty of Dentistry, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt.

Purpose: Optical properties of recent aesthetic restorative materials must maintain an acceptable appearance throughout their functional lifetime. This study aimed to assess the changes in translucency and colour of recent resin-based restorative materials after exposure to beverages commonly consumed by children.

Methods: An experimental in-vitro study on 48 discs specimens prepared from; Group I: Filtek Z250 XT (Nanohybrid), Group II: Cention N (Alkasite bulkfill), and Group III: SDR flow Plus (Flowable bulkfill).

Method to define recommended portion sizes for consumer guidance.

Eur J Nutr

School of Agriculture and Food Science, UCD Institute of Food and Health, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aims to create consistent global portion size recommendations for various food groups, recognizing that serving sizes are not well regulated worldwide.
  • A systematic methodology was developed, using data from existing regulations, food-based dietary guidelines, and reported intakes from Europe and Australia to derive Global Portion Values (GPVs) for 50 food groups.
  • The results showed that 88% of the GPVs were consistent, indicating that this standardized approach could assist consumers in making better-informed choices about food portions.
