Dietary glycation compounds – implications for human health
The term “glycation compounds” comprises a wide range of structurally diverse compounds that are formed endogenously and in food via the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between reducing sugars and amino acids. Glycation compounds produced endogenously are considered to contribute to a range of diseases. This has led to the hypothesis that glycation compounds present in food…
🧪 Dietary Acid Load (DAL) and Its Impact on Health – Summary
Our body maintains a delicate acid-base balance, which is influenced by the foods we eat. Some foods produce acids when metabolized, while others create bases (alkaline substances). The total impact of diet on this balance is measured as Dietary Acid Load (DAL).
