Introduction This review addresses metabolic diversities after grain feeding of cattle using artificial total mixed ration (TMR), in place of pasture-based feeding. Objectives To determine how grain feeding impairs the deuterium-depleting functions of the anaplerotic mitochondrial matrix during milk and meat production. Methods Based on published data we herein evaluate how grain-fed animals essentially follow a branched-chain amino acid and odd-chain fatty acid-based reductive carboxylation-dependent feedstock, which is also one of the mitochondrial deuterium-accumulating dysfunctions in human cancer. Results It is now evident that food-based intracellular deuterium exchange reactions, especially that of glycogenic substrate oxidation, are significant sources of deuterium-enriched (2H; D) metabolic water with a significant impact on animal and human health. The burning of high deuterium nutritional dairy products into metabolic water upon oxidation in the human body may contribute to similar metabolic conditions and diseases as described in state-of-the-art articles for cows. Grain feeding also limits oxygen delivery to mitochondria for efficient deuterium-depleted metabolic water production by glyphosate herbicide exposure used in genetically modified crops of TMR constituents. Conclusion Developments in medical metabolomics, biochemistry and deutenomics, which is the science of biological deuterium fractionation and discrimination warrant urgent critical reviews in order to control the epidemiological scale of population diseases such as diabetes, obesity and cancer by a thorough understanding of how the compromised metabolic health of grain-fed dairy cows impacts human consumers.

The crops commercially available in Hungary show great variety in terms of their county of origin. According to out hypothesis, this diversity is also reflected in value of their nutrient content. In our experiments, the nutrient and mineral content of jasmine rice, lentils and beans from different areas of origin was determined, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. The aim of our work was to gather basic data from raw materials from different countries of the world, which can be compared with basic data from Hungary. During the evaluation of the results, a trend-like change in macronutrient amount was observed, while the mineral content of the crops was moderately or strongly variable in several cases. Based on our results, it is recommended that experts update basic data more frequently, given the increasingly globalized nature of the world, and take into account the variability of crops by country of origin.

A Magyarországon kereskedelmi forgalomban kapható termések származási országuk tekintetében nagy változékonyságot mutatnak. Hipotézisünk szerint ez a sokféleség megmutatkozik a tápanyagtartalom mennyiségében is. Kísérleteink során különböző származási helyről érkező jázminrizs, lencse és szárazbab tápanyag- és ásványanyag-tartalmának meghatározását végeztük el, az eredményeket leíró statisztikai módszerekkel elemeztük. Munkánk célja az volt, hogy a világ különböző országaiból származó alapanyagokból legyenek alapadataink, amelyeket összehasonlíthatunk a magyarországi alapadatokkal. Az eredmények értékelése során a makrotápanyagok trendszerű változását tapasztaltuk, a termények ásványanyag tartalma több esetben közepes vagy erős változékonyságú volt. Eredményeink alapján javasolható, hogy a szakértők gyakrabban újítsák meg az alapadatokat – tekintettel az egyre globalizált világra –, és vegyék figyelembe a termények származási ország szerinti változékonyságát.
