The Role of Proteolytic Enzymes in Food Processing: A Closer Look at Industrial Application and Potential Health Implications
While the benefits of proteolytic enzymes are substantial, it is essential to acknowledge potential health concerns. At higher concentrations, these enzymes can irritate the digestive system. Research shows that excess proteases may trigger stress responses in the digestive tract, and irritation and damage to the intestinal barrier, increased gut permeability, visceral hypersensitivity, gut dysbiosis, and food allergies.

Exploring the Intriguing Journey of Synthetic Vitamin A from a Chemotherapy Drug to Food Fortification: Uncovering Its Impact on Digestive Health
While we know vitamin A is critical to good health, what is often overlooked is the fact that synthetic forms of vitamin A trigger stress receptors, activating our fight-or-flight response. Chronic ingestion without the fats required to protect the receptors and utilitze the vitamin, will keep us in a perpetual state of stress that leads to damaging inflammation and the development of chronic disease.

Uncovering the Impact of Gibberellic Acid: Exploring its Role in Barley Malting for Bread Flour and Beer in the Microbrewery Industry
One notable effect of Gibberellic Acid on barley malt is its role in lowering p-coumaric acid levels. While this alteration may seem insignificant at first glance, it holds implications for our antioxidant defenses. P-coumaric acid, an essential element in safeguarding our bodies against oxidative stress, is lowered when Gibberellic Acid is used to enhance the malting process. This reduction in antioxidants makes us more sensitive to allergens, pesticides, and environmental t

The Impact of TRPA1 Receptors on Stress and Inflammation
Inflammation, an essential part of the body's defense mechanism, is tightly regulated by various molecular pathways. TRPA1 receptors have been identified as key players in mediating inflammatory processes. Upon activation, these receptors promote the release of inflammatory molecules, signaling the immune system to respond to perceived threats. However, when excessively activated, the inflammation becomes chronic or excessive, and can contribute to the development of inflamma
