Journal Article
Almaraz, M., Kuempel, C. D., Salter, A. M., & Halpern, B. S. (2022). The impact of excessive protein consumption on human wastewater nitrogen loading of US waters. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 20(8), 452-458. https://doi.org/10.1002/fee.2531

Total and per capita protein consumption rates in US diets, whether from plant or animal sources, rank among the highest in the world. When protein consumption outpaces physiologic protein demands, excess amino acids are degraded in the human body an...

Dietary zinc (Zn) deficiency is widespread globally, and in particular among people in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). In Malawi, dietary sources of Zn are dominated by maize and spatially dependent variation in grain Zn concentration, which will affect di...

The Use and Effectiveness of Selected Alternative Markers for Insulin Sensitivity and Secretion Compared with Gold Standard Markers in Dietary Intervention Studies in Individuals without Diabetes: Results of a Systematic Review (2022)
Journal Article
Vazquez Rocha, L., Macdonald, I., Alssema, M., & Færch, K. (2022). The Use and Effectiveness of Selected Alternative Markers for Insulin Sensitivity and Secretion Compared with Gold Standard Markers in Dietary Intervention Studies in Individuals without Diabetes: Results of a Systematic Review. Nutrients, 14(10), Article 2036. https://doi.org/10.3390/nu14102036

Background: The gold‐standard techniques for measuring insulin sensitivity and secretion are well established. However, they may be perceived as invasive and expensive for use in dietary intervention studies. Thus, surrogate markers have been propose...

Collecting emotional response to products has been found to be more discriminating than liking alone, yet emotions are not static and are highly impacted by mood and our environment (or context). Therefore the question rises whether a consumer's emot... Read More about The stability of self-reported emotional response and liking of beer in context.
