Nutritional Risks of Heavy Metals in the Human Diet-Multi-Elemental Analysis of Energy Drinks.

In recent years, the consumption of energy drinks (EDs) by adolescents and young adults has increased significantly, so concerns have been raised about the potential health risks associated with excessive ED consumption. Most analyses on EDs focus on the caffeine content. Research on the content of minerals (essential and toxic) in energy drinks can be considered scarce.

The main aim of this work was to study the chemical composition of eighteen ground coffees from different countries and continents with regard to the content of hazardous substances as radioactive elements (K, Ra, Ra, U, U and Cs), metals, including heavy metals, aluminum and some microelements (V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) as well as substances that have a positive effect on human health and well-being (polyphenols, proteins, fats and caffeine). The tests were carried out before and after the brewing process using the following techniques: gamma and beta spectrometry, a microwave-induced plasma optical emission spectrometer (MIP-OES), gravimetric method, UV-Vis spectrophotometry as well as thin-layer chromatography. The leaching percentage of certain elements/compounds in coffee infusions was also measured.

Coffee has long been popular worldwide. The rise in lifestyle-related diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, dementia, and others has motivated coffee usage and illness prevalence studies. Some studies show coffee consumers are at risk for such diseases, whereas others show its active components protect them.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates coffee pulp, typically discarded but potentially valuable, focusing on its flour (CPF) and aqueous extract (CPE) for their chemical composition and safety.
- Results showed that CPF is high in insoluble fiber and amino acids, while CPE contains soluble pectic polysaccharides and free amino acids, both having elevated mineral content.
- Toxicity tests on mice indicated that CPF and CPE are safe for consumption, supporting their potential as novel food ingredients with health benefits.
Mitigating Traumatic Brain Injury: A Narrative Review of Supplementation and Dietary Protocols.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) constitute a significant public health issue and a major source of disability and death in the United States and worldwide. TBIs are strongly associated with high morbidity and mortality rates, resulting in a host of negative health outcomes and long-term complications and placing a heavy financial burden on healthcare systems. One promising avenue for the prevention and treatment of brain injuries is the design of TBI-specific supplementation and dietary protocols centred around nutraceuticals and biochemical compounds whose mechanisms of action have been shown to interfere with, and potentially alleviate, some of the neurophysiological processes triggered by TBI.
