Why do we study food science

Most animals have a diet, humans (can) eat the broadest range of foods (curiosity)

cooked

something like ceviche

heat(stove/oven/fire/etc.)

raw

Animals, bugs, nuts, seeds, legumes, spices, herbs, plants

different cuisines

Mental health

EPA (polyunsaturated fat) can be as effective as anti-depressants

Better sleep

how food affects sleep

Better functioning brain

what supports brain function

building blocks

fats/proteins

what hinders the function of brain

Food preparation

cooking

heat vs something like ceviche

some food is only safe/safer after preparation

different reasons / degrees

ripe fruits/ veges are generally safer then unripe ones

enzyme inhibitors/tanins/toxins

acorn more harmful then walnut

plant defenses (they can't really run away)

Most plants

Nuts/seeds

Legumes

Essentials (things we can't synthesize (enough of))

polyunsaturated fats

Minerals/elements

potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesiums, etc.

Vitamin C

Essential Amino acids

valine

tryptophan

threonine

phenylanine

methionine

lysine

leucine

isoleucine

histidine

Environmental Impact

organic vs. nonorganic

can destroy underground fungi

fungi also helps build soil health

helps sequester carbon

nonorganic is not good for bugs

bad for pollinates which are essential for the environment

organic usually has less yield

animals

regenerative/pasture

more humane

can help build topsoil

if done properly can help with crop growth

mass productions/factory farming

cruel/inhumane

feed comes from monocropping

huge releases of methane

plants

agriculture

regenerative/cover crops/no dig

good for environment

prevents erosion

helps build/sustain top soil

no huge release of carbon during harvest

sequesters carbon in the ground

most is monocropping

bad for environment

depletes top soil

in mass and nutrients

makes it less likely that the ground can sequester carbon

causes erosion when no crops are on them

huge releases of carbon during harvest

immune health

Allergies

common ones

eggs, nuts, peanuts

different severities

things that can negatively affect it

proper nutrients to function

vitamins/minerals/energy

digestion

digestive disorders

infections

stomach flu

food poisoning

lactose intolerence

IBD

IBS

not eating to much/often

water

fibre

Athletics

sweating/mineral depletion

Proper precursors

fats

used in membranes

myelin sheath in nervous system

proteins

muscle and membranes

minerals/vitamin

cholesterol

testosterone/estrogen/cortisol

Proper energy

Delay/ Prevent chronic/degenerative diseases

cancer

sarcopenia

Heart/circulatory diseases

Dementia

Energy

Calories

Ethanol

7 calories

Macronutrients

Proteins

Fats

9 calories

Saturated fats

steric acid/butter/coconut oil

Polyunsaturated fats

epa/dha/ala/arachodonic acid

Monounsaturated fats

oleic acid

Carbohydrates

4 calories

Simple carbohydrates

sugars

glucose

fructose

galactose

Complex carbohydrates
