Sorghum is a versatile and nutritious crop that has been cultivated for thousands of years. In the Bible, Sorghum is mentioned as a tree whose fruits are meant for food and whose leaves are for medicine. This reference to Sorghum highlights its potential as both a food and a medicine. While Sorghum grains are a common food source, they can also be a source of polyphenols, which are beneficial compounds that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, extracting polyphenols from Sorghum grains can be difficult and expensive. Instead, Sorghum leaf sheath extract offers a readily available and concentrated source of polyphenols. Studies have shown that Sorghum leaf sheath extract has potential therapeutic benefits for chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. The extract has been found to have potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as antimicrobial properties. For individuals who are generally healthy, Sorghum grains prepared in different ways can still provide some health benefits, as they contain some polyphenols. However, for those who are suffering from chronic diseases, the abundant quantity of polyphenols in Sorghum leaf sheath extract may be necessary for treatment and possibly even cure. Incorporating Sorghum into your diet can be a great way to support your health and wellness. Whether you choose to consume Sorghum grains or extract polyphenols from the leaf sheaths, this divine superfood offers a range of potential health benefits. #health #food #sorghum #polyphenol #antioxidant #immunomodulation #anti-inflammatory #superfood

Fresh out of the oven! Title: Analysis of the fermentation kinetics and gut microbiota modulatory effect of dried chicory root reveals the impact of the plant-cell matrix rationalizing its conversion in the distal colon The cell matrix of plant foods has received little attention in prebiotic fiber research. This study aims to understand the impact of the plant cell matrix in dried chicory root on its breakdown in the human gut to explain its reported beneficial effects on gut and metabolic health. Keywords: Plant #cellwall, #chicoryroot, #intrinsicfiber, gut health, #gutmicrobiota, #colonic #fermentation, #butyrate production Authors: Marie-Luise Puhlmann, Ember van de Rakt, Evangelia (Eva) Kerezoudi, Ignacio Rangel, Robert Brummer,   Hauke Smidt, Frederik Kaper, Willem M.

𝗘𝗟𝗔𝗡®𝗧𝗢𝗫 𝗚𝗢𝗟𝗗 𝗜𝗠𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗦 𝗙𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘 It is well known that mycotoxins reduce feed intake in farm animals by disrupting digestion and nutrient absorption in the animal's body (microbiota-gut-brain axis). This can lead to reduced growth, weight loss and other health problems. Extensive research in our research facilities shows that the herbal extracts in Elan®Tox Gold are well accepted by animals. The flavourful mycotoxin binder Elan®Tox Gold improves feed intake, resulting in faster deactivation of mycotoxins. As a result, the animal experiences the health benefits of the product sooner.

Does Drinking Milk Make You Taller? The age-old advice to "drink your milk for strong bones and tall stature" has been ingrained in many cultures for generations. From childhood, we're often encouraged to consume milk as a means to grow taller and stronger. But amidst these assertions, questions arise: Is there scientific validity to the claim that drinking milk directly correlates with increased height? Or is it merely a myth perpetuated by tradition and marketing campaigns? In this exploration, we delve into the science behind the relationship between milk consumption and height gain. We'll sift through the research, examining the nutrients in milk and their potential impact on bone health and growth. Additionally, we'll consider genetic factors, lifestyle habits, and other dietary elements that play a role in determining one's height. By the end, we aim to shed light on whether the adage "drink your milk and grow tall" holds true in the realm of scientific scrutiny or if it's time to debunk this age-old belief.
