awareness and knowledge of phytonutrient Food sources and Health benefits for functional Food application among Health Food Store customers in the cape town city bowl
Tydskrif vir Gesinsekologie en Verbruikerswetenskappe, 2009Co-Authors: M. Braun, Irma VenterAbstract:Fitonutriente speel ‘n belangrike rol in die verwantskap tussen dieet en die voorkoming van chroniese degeneratiewe siektes. Die wetenskaplike gegewens bied die voedselindustrie die geleentheid om funksionele voedsels te ontwikkel wat fitonutriente beklemtoon. Verbruikers wat onbekend met fitonutriente is, bemoeilik suksesvolle bemarking van sulke funksionele voedsels omdat dit ‘n verbruiker met kennis en begrip van dieet en gesondheid vereis. Die voedselindustrie behoort sulke voedselontwikkeling te weerhou totdat verbruikers voldoende kennis en begrip van fitonutriente het vir oorgang van gewildheid na suksesvolle bemarking in die evolusie van verbruikersaanvaarding. Omdat Suid-Afrika ‘n ontluikende mark vir funksionele voedsels is, het die studie die volgende verken: 1) Bewustheid van die term “fitonutriente” en spesifieke fitonutriente soos beta-karoteen, isoflavone, fitoestrogene, likopeen, kwersitin, antosianiene, limonoiede en allielsulfiede; 2) Kennis van die voedselbron en die verwante gesondheidsvoordeel van spesifieke fitonutriente; en 3) Of die bewustheid en kennis van die aanbevole daaglikse groente en vrugte inname porsies en hul werklike inname verband hou met die bewustheid van die term “fitonutriente”. Die opname is gedoen onder verbruikers wat twee gesondheidswinkels in die stadskom van Kaapstad besoek het. ‘n Onderliggende doel van die studie was om te bevestig of die deelnemers as gesondheidsbewuste verbruikers beskou kon word in die aanname gemaak dat die groep persone moontlik bekend is met die onderwerp. Die deelnemers moes ‘n voorafgetoetste self-geadministreerde vraelys voltooi. Een honderd en twaalf persone, 79,5% van die persone wat uitgenooi is, het deelgeneem. Sowat ‘n derde van die deelnemers (36,6% en 33% onderskeidelik) was bewus van die term “fitonutriente” en die “5-‘n-Dag” konsep. Meer deelnemers het die betekenis van die konsep (21,4%) as fitonutriente (4,5%) korrek aangedui. Die deelnemers was die meeste bewus van die fitonutrient beta-karoteen (88,4%), terwyl allielsulfiede die minste bekend was (5,4%). Die deelnemers was meer bekend met die voedselbronne as die gesondheidsvoordele van fitonutriente. Brokkoli is die voedsel wat deur die meeste van die deelnemers (75,6%) aangedui is as ‘n ryk fitonutrient bron. Meer deelnemers wat bewus is van die term “fitonutriente”, kon die daaglikse aantal aanbevole groente porsies korrek aandui (58,5%), as diegene wat dit nie ken nie (40,8%). Dit is nie ten opsigte van die aantal vrugte porsies gevind nie. Meer deelnemers wat die term “fitonutriente” ken, eet die aanbevole daaglikse aantal porsies groente (22%) en vrugte (73,2%) as deelnemers wat onbewus van die term is (9,9% en 60,6% onderskeidelik). Die meerderheid deelnemers wat die term “fitonutriente” en die spesifieke fitonutriente ken gebruik dieetsupplemente. Hulle kan dus as gesondheidsbewuste verbruikers beskou word. Omdat die deelnemers wat gesondheidsbewus is, slegs beperkte kennis van sommige van die fitonutriente en hul voedselbronne en gesondheidsvoordele getoon het, behoort die Suid-Afrikaanse voedselindustrie omsigtig te wees in die ontwikkeling van funksionele voedsels wat fitonutriente beklemtoon. Die algemene publiek sal waarskynlik minder bewus en ingelig wees as die deelnemers aan die studie. Aansienlike blootstelling is gevolglik nodig om die belang van fitonutriente in gesondheid en siekte voorkoming bekend te stel.

impact of federal safety advisories on Health Food Store advice
Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2004Co-Authors: Edward J Mills, Rana Singh, Cory Ross, Edzard Ernst, Kumanan WilsonAbstract:In early 2002, the FDA and Health Canada issued federal advisories that people should discontinue taking the herbal antianxiolitic kava kava, until further information regarding safety and potential for liver damage were determined. We conducted a field study 2 months following the advisories in Toronto, Canada to determine whether kava kava continued to be recommended to consumers at retail Health Food Stores. Eight participants asked employees at all Stores what was recommended for anxiety and whether the products were safe. Twenty-two of 34 Stores recommended kava kava, 9 of which mentioned safety concerns. Physicians should be aware that federal advisories may not affect sales of unsafe products.

acute renal failure oxalosis and vitamin c supplementation a case report and review of the literature
Chest, 2000Co-Authors: S Mashour, J F Turner, R MerrellAbstract:With the increased use of nonprescription vitamin supplementation, physicians involved in critical care must be aware of the potential complications of these medications. We report the case of a 31-year-old African-American man presenting to the emergency department with acute renal failure. He had previously been well and initially denied the use of any drugs except for vitamin C tablets obtained at a local Health Food Store. This case report and review of the literature is utilized to illustrate the importance of historical data in patients presenting with acute renal failure to a critical care service.
