The nutrient and phytochemical composition of two varieties of Monkey kola: Cola parchycarpa and Cola lepidota were determined. The pulps were extracted, grated and dried using solar dryer. Dried pulps were milled into flour with attrition milling machine (0.5mm sieve size). The nutrient
OBJECTIVE
The consumption of soft drinks has increased considerably during the last decades. Among them, the cola-based preparations are possibly the refreshments with the largest sales worldwide. In addition to the possible detrimental effects of moderate, chronic cola consumption, it has been
A 52-year-old man was noted to have severe chronic hypokalemia despite discontinuation of diuretic treatment for hypertension and aggressive oral potassium supplementation. His serum potassium normalized temporarily when he was hospitalized, but hypokalemia recurred after discharge. He complained of
OBJECTIVE
We aim to describe an unusual and underappreciated cause for hypokalemia.
METHODS
We describe a patient diagnosed with cola-induced hypokalemia and review the literature.
RESULTS
Ingestion of massive amounts of cola can lead to severe hypokalemia through several pathophysiologic
BACKGROUND
Higher consumption of sugar-containing beverages has been associated with an elevated risk of type 2 diabetes and gout. Whether this equally applies to cola with an unhealthy image and orange juice (OJ) having a healthy image remains unknown.
METHODS
In order to investigate whether OJ and
BACKGROUND
Kolanut (Cola nitida) is consumed in virtually every part of the world. The caffeine content of kolanut is scarce and the number of investigations studying the health benefits of kolanut is negligible compared to coffee.
OBJECTIVE
The present study was designed to identify the caffeine
Background This study was carried out to investigate the effects of acetone extract of Cola nitida on brain Na+/K+-ATPase activity and spatial memory of healthy and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic female Wistar rats. Methods Forty-two female Wistar rats were used for this study and were
The consumption of soft drinks is a crucial factor in determining persistent hypocalcemia. The aim of the study is to evaluate the biochemical mechanisms inducing hypocalcemia in a female patient with usual high consumption of cola drink and persistent hypocalcemia, who failed to respond to high
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to determine sucralose and acesulfame-potassium (ace-K) pharmacokinetics in breast milk following maternal ingestion of a diet soda.
METHODS
Thirty-four exclusively breast-feeding women (14 normal-weight, 20 obese) consumed 12 ounces of Diet Rite Cola, sweetened
Beverages sweetened with caloric sweeteners (CS), glucose, sucrose or high-fructose corn syrup, are associated with weight gain. Beverages sweetened with intense sweeteners (IS) are marketed as low-calorie substitutes to prevent beverages-associated weight gain. Using Caenorhabditis elegans, the
The pH of cool drinks and fruit juices is very low and ranges from 2,4 (Pepsi Cola) to 3,7 (fresh orange juice). The osmotic concentration of most cool drinks and fruit juices is considerably higher than that of blood and, with the exception of Isotonic Game, ranges from 430 mOsm/kg (Coca Cola) to 1
A 48-year-old Filipino man presented after several episodes of worsening limb paralysis that occurred after drinking cola beverages. In the emergency department he was found to be hypokalaemic, and although he exhibited no symptoms of thyrotoxicosis he was biochemically hyperthyroid. Thyroid
BACKGROUND
Non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS), especially in form of diet soda, have been linked to metabolic derangements (e.g. obesity and diabetes) in epidemiologic studies. We aimed to test acute metabolic effects of NNS in isolation (water or seltzer) and in diet sodas.
METHODS
We conducted a
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to determine differences in lifestyle and dietary habits between pregnant women with small for gestational age (SGA) fetuses and those appropriate for gestational age (AGA).
METHODS
This cross-sectional, prospective study was conducted over 14 months and
