“…Sucrose has been, traditionally, the most popular sweetener. However, the negative effects of excess sucrose consumption, such as type 2 diabetes, obesity, and poor oral health, has led to the replacement of sugar by sugar alcohols [ 51 ]. Sugar and sugar alcohols are believed to be kosmotropic substances that stabilize the native structure of biopolymers, including starch [ 52 ].…”

Industrial application of starch as a texture-forming agent is primarily limited to preparations obtained from waxy corn and potatoes. The main reason behind this is its functionality, which depends mostly on rheological properties. However, in food product matrices, these properties change. Despite the vast amount of information on the rheological properties of various starches, the rational choice of thickener appears to be an extremely difficult task. The aim of the work is to systemize the information on the rheological properties of most popular starches in matrices of various food products, applying principal component and cluster analyses. The investigated material is potato and corn starch of the normal and waxy varieties. Binary mixtures containing salts or sweetening agents, as well as four different food products (ketchup, mayonnaise, pudding, and jelly), are investigated. It was found that compared to normal varieties, waxy starches reveal many similar rheological properties in all investigated models and food systems. Furthermore, in most applications, one waxy starch variety may be substituted by another, with no significant impact on the rheological properties and texture of the food product. Moreover, waxy starch preparations are less altered by the presence of cosolutes, i.e., salts and sugar alcohols. Starch model systems were proven to be useful only for rapid thickener screening tests and cannot be recommended as a final reference for the quality design of food products.

“…It is worth noting that patients with epilepsy also showed a lower serum concentration of 25(OH)D3. In this study, epilepsy patients were more likely to consume sugar-sweetened soda, which, due to the content of sugar, preservatives, and dyes, are considered less bene cial to health [41].…”

Background: Several factors predispose people with epilepsy to cardiovascular diseases. Among them nutrition and lifestyle have not been sufficiently studied. Methods. The study involved 60 epileptic male and female volunteers and 70 healthy controls, corresponding to age and gender. Medical information was collected during the study and a detailed questionnaire survey concerning eating and lifestyle habits was conducted. Physical activity was evaluated using International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Nutritional status was assessed by bioelectric impedance. Venous blood samples were taken for lipid and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25(OH)D3) analyses. Results. A tendency to an increase in LDL cholesterol was found in epileptics. Significantly higher body fat and insignificantly higher visceral fat was found in epileptic men compared to healthy men. In epileptic women a tendency to lower lean body mass was found. Patients with epilepsy were more sedentary, had lower consumption of cottage cheese, fruit, pulses, nuts and seeds, vitamin C and potassium, and higher intake of sugar-sweetened soda, energy from fat and sodium compared to healthy people. As a positive point, epileptics consumed less coffee and alcoholic beverages. More than 80% of diets of epilepsy people were low in folic acid, vitamin D and calcium, but similar tendency was observed in the healthy people. The diets of patients with epilepsy were in a higher percentage poor in niacin, vitamin C and potassium compared to the control group, 25% to 7%, 50% to 31% and 73 to 56% respectively. A significantly lower serum concentration of 25(OH)D3 was observed in epileptic individuals, which in this group was found to be positively modulated by physical activity.Conclusions. The study indicates that several behavior-related habits, which may predispose epileptic people to cardiovascular disease, need to be improved. For this reason, patients with epilepsy should be provided with more comprehensive medical care, including advice on nutrition and physical activity.

“…Increasing consumption of snacks and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption during online gaming or watching movies online [18] may also result in excess fat accumulation [17]. In addition, increasing computer usage contributes to obesity in households in other LMICs,…”

“…Numerous studies have also found that prolonged internet usage (3 hours or more a day) and internetbased recreational activities, including watching online movies, reading newspapers, playing games, and watching television, are positively associated with BMI among adolescents and adults [13][14][15][16]. In addition, there is evidence that greater use of electronic devices for online gaming and social networking leads to increased consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages [17] and, therefore, overweight and obesity [18].…”

Objective: Using a nationally representative data, we examined the associations between internet use and overweight/obesity in people aged 15-49 years in Nepal, and the extent to which these associations vary by gender. Materials and methods: The study analyzed the nationally representative Nepal Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 2016 data, collected between June 2016 and January 2017. The outcome was overweight/obesity. Exposures were internet use (IU) in the last twelve months and internet use frequency (FIU) in the last month. Multivariable ordinal logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the total effects of IU and FIU on overweight/obesity adjusted for minimal sufficient adjustment set of potential confounders. P-difference was extracted using a Wald test for the models with interaction terms. Results: Of the 10,380 participants, 33.9% used internet in the last 12 months, and 13.1 % used less than/at least once in a week, and 17.5% used internet almost every day. The prevalence of overweight/obesity by IU was 38% (95% CI: 35.9%, 40.1%) for male and 44.1% (95% CI: 41.6%, 46.6) for female. The risk of overweight and obesity was significantly 1.55 times higher (aOR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.40, 1.73; p < 0.001) among those participants who used the internet compared to the individual who did not use the internet in the last 12 months or earlier of the interview. Similar associations were observed when using the augmented measure of exposure-FIU. We observed modification effect of gender in the associations of IU (p-difference<0.001) and FIU (p-difference<0.002) with overweight and obesity in Nepal. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that it is imperative for future overweight/obesity interventions in LMICs, including Nepal, to discourage unnecessary internet use, particularly among males.
