Mapping the Available Evidence on the Impact of Ingested Live Microbes on Health: A Scoping Review Protocol

Some researchers think that the regular consumption of safe, live microbes confers health-promoting attributes, including the prevention of disease. To address this hypothesis, we propose a scoping review to assess the large amount of scientific literature that is now available on this topic.

Amino Acid Intake and Conformance With the Dietary Reference Intakes in the United States: Analysis of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2001–2018

Essential amino acid intakes in the US population exceed recommended minimum population requirements. Future studies can use the method described in this article to quantify amino acid intake and examine potential relationships with health and disease.

Chemicals in Food Packaging: A Review of Phthalates and Bisphenols

Phthalates and bisphenol chemicals have been widely used globally in packaging materials and consumer products for several decades. These highly functional chemicals have become a concern due to their toxicity (i.e., endocrine modulators) and ability to migrate from food contact materials into food matrices and the environment resulting in human and environmental health risks.
