Developing foods and beverages for people with diabetes and other diet sensitivities

By Malcolm Lowe
November 29, 2011

Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for reading.

 

My name is Malcolm Lowe, and this is Research Reduction.

I presume you’re here to learn, to stay abreast, to conduct research. You’re in luck! The information here on PreparedFoods.com is exhaustive.

It’s been said that if every page of this website we’re turned to paper and then converted back into trees, there would stand a forest so dense it would cover the entire square footage of Lichtenstein. I realize Lichtenstein is not a large country, but think about the number of trees its borders could hold, and the stacks of paper held within those trees, and the series of web pages those stacks of paper represent in this scenario.

I’m telling you, we have a lot of information here.

With this journal, this blog, this Research Reduction, I pledge to you to act as docent during your visit to our vast archives and freshly published articles.

With each week, I will condense, dare I say, reduce what one might call informational sprawl into a tight, organized, functioning community of reports whose scale will set a tone for quiet browsing, engagement and comprehension.

In short, I am here, Research Reduction is here, to move you toward discovery.

And now, a survey of market, ingredient and formulation trends regarding the development of foods and beverages for people with diabetes and other diet and sugar sensitivities.

Dr. Miguel Constancia, from the department of obstetrics and gynaecology at Cambridge University, said, "It is remarkable that maternal diet can mark our genes so they remember events in very early life. Our findings reveal a novel mechanism by which maternal diet and ageing interact through epigenetic processes to determine our risk of age-associated diseases.'' Diabetes and Mom's Diet...
