Hormones and Gastrointestinal Function x6

6–Somatostatin–Somatostatin is secreted in several locations in the digestive system:

1–stomach
2–intestine
3–delta cells of the pancreas

Somatostatin will travel through the portal blood system, to the heart, then to systemic circulation, where it will exert its digestive system effects. In the stomach, somatostatin acts on the acid-producing parietal cells via G-coupled receptor to reduce secretion. Somatostatin also indirectly decreases stomach acid production by preventing the release of other hormones, including gastrin, secretin and histamine which effectively slows down the digestive process.

Q

How to evaluate a nutritional claim: Fun and ridiculous claims!

Claim: Our natural liquid vitamin and mineral formula has a 98 percent absorption rate.
Fact: Putting nutrients in liquid form does NOT increase their absorption to this extent. Major brands of vitamin and mineral pills are designed to dissolve into liquid form
shortly after entering the stomach.

Claim: This liquid supplement bypasses the digestive system and goes DIRECTLY into the blood stream and into cells within a matter of minutes.
Fact: The only way to bypass the digestive system is by
INJECTING the liquid into a blood vessel or using
suppositories.

28
Q

How to evaluate a nutritional claim

Claim: Our nutrient formula is absorbed within a matter of
minutes, which SAVES body energy on digestion.
Digestion utilizes more energy than any other system
in the body.

Fact: Most vitamins and minerals in supplements simply
DISSOLVE and are ABSORBED – they are NOT digested.
At any rate, digestion of nutrients in food uses less than
10 percent of the body’s total energy expenditure. If
digestion really used up so much energy, we would be
able to lose weight by simply eating more!

29
Q

How to evaluate a nutritional claim

Claim: Our product contains 121 essential nutrients.
Fact: Fewer than 50 ESSENTIAL nutrients have been identified by the National Academy of Sciences.

Claim: Several major cultures in the world never get sick and live 30 to 40 years longer than average because they CONSUME 100 times the Recommended Dietary Allowance of everything.
Fact: Anyone who attempts to consume 100 times the RDA for vitamins or minerals will get very sick quickly and likely die. Consuming 100 times the RDA for protein would provide more than 20,000 calories per day in protein alone.

Food Additives—The DELANEY CLAUSE (1958): Food Additive Amendment proposed by CongressmanDelaney

  1. “No additive shall be deemed safe if it is found to induce cancer when ingested by man or animal.”
  2. Every new additive must be tested for safety in several species of animals, including one non-rodent mammal, for a specified period of time
  3. ________________ Refers to over 700 additives in use before the passage of this clause. They are exempt (e.g. sugar, salt, pepper, cinnamon, MSG, BHA)
A

GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe):

Health Claims

Strict guidelines:
1. They cannot state the degree of risk reduction
2. Can only use “may” or “might” in discussing the relationship.
3. They must state that other factors play a role in the disease.
4. Claims must be phrased so that consumers can understand the relationship and the nutrient’s role in a daily diet.
Example of an appropriate claim:
“While many factors affect heart disease, diets low in
saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of this
disease.”
