Phosphalugel

Comments

 
Picture
Aluminum Phosphate containing antacid making stomach juices less acidic (by neutralizing stomach acid).
Phosphalugel is used for the relief of heartburn, sour stomach, and peptic ulcer pain and to promote the healing of peptic ulcers. Usual dosage is 20-40 mg per dose, 2-3 times per day but no more than 120 mg in 24 hrs. 
No significant side effects are known. Aluminum on its own could cause muscle weakness, bone pain, osteoporosis, constipation (like other alluminum-containing antacids counteracted by Magnesium), delayed growth in children, altered mental abilities, dementia and seizures after prolonged accumulation. May be associated with Pyrexia, Ulcers, Asthenia, Anemia.
​
Antacids with alginic acid (such as Gaviscon that contains aluminum hydroxide and magnesium carbonate) contain a foaming agent that floats on top of the stomach contents. This may help keep stomach juices from coming in contact with the esophagus. Antacids that contain simethicone (such as Maalox Anti-Gas or Mylanta Gas - in addition to Aluminum hydroxide and Magnesium hydroxide) may break down gas bubbles in the stomach. This may help reduce burping that might push stomach acid into the esophagus.
Aluminum ions in antacids like Aludrox, Phosphalugel and Simeco are bound to sialic acid residues in mucus glycoproteins, thus retarding the transit of these antacids through both the AS and the real stomach and prolonging their activity in both situations. When the Al:Mg ratio is low or when the amount of antacid salts is large, aluminum ions tend to be buried in complexes, giving them less chance to interact with gastric mucus, so they transit the stomach more quickly.

Phthalates

Comments

 
Picture
Phthalates are esters of phthalic acid (produced by the catalytic oxidation of naphthalene) used in the coatings of pharmaceutical pills and nutritional supplements, food products, personal care products, electronics, detergents, and textiles. These chemicals make plastics more flexible and harder to break and are also often called plasticizers. They can be also found in soft toys, flooring, medical equipment, cosmetics and air fresheners A few phthalates have been found to interfere with normal sexual development in male rats at doses significantly higher than those typically experienced by humans, but these adverse effects have not been seen in monkeys and may not be relevant to human exposure. Several recent epidemiology studies have suggested an association between adverse effects in males and levels of the metabolites (break-down products) of a few phthalates in the urine. 
Di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is a high production volume chemical used in the manufacture of a wide variety of consumer food packaging, some children’s products, and some polyvinyl chloride (PVC) medical devices. In 2006, the NTP found that DEHP may pose a risk to human development, especially critically ill male infants. Phthalates may play a causal role in disrupting masculine neurological development when exposed prenatally.
Although several of the specific Tier 1 tests under EPA’s Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program may not have been conducted on the five identified phthalates, a considerable amount of information already exists on these substances from traditional toxicity tests. These traditional tests assess potential health effects resulting from all mechanisms, including endocrine (hormone) pathways.

Propanol

Comments

 
Isomers of Propanol
alcohols with a sharp musty sweet chemical odor like rubbing alcohol
There are two isomers of propanol:
  • 1-Propanol, n-propanol, propan-1-ol, ethylcarbinol
  • 2-Propanol, Isopropyl alcohol, isopropanol, propan-2-ol
1-propanol is a primary alcohol like ethanol and it smells more like grain alcohol (ethanol-like), while 2-propanol is a secondary alcohol and it smells a little sweeter and more pungent. 

1-Propanol is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase to propionic acid (vinegar-like smell) and presents with metabolic acidosis and elevated anion gap, whereas 2-propanol is metabolized by alcohol dehydrogenase to acetone (fruity, nail-polish-like smell) and presents with rapidly developing (within 3-4 h after exposure) ketosis and ketonuria but without metabolic acidosis. 2-propanol smells more like rubbing alcohol (Rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, and disinfecting pads typically contain a 60–70% solution of isopropyl alcohol in water) resembling more of acetone, and could be hazardous to health.

​Propanol in breath might correlate with acetone. It is present in the breath samples of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients infected by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). 

There could be multiple sources of propanol. For example, propane-utilizing bacterium Gordonia sp. strain TY-5, oxidizes propane gas to 2-propanol that is further oxidized to acetone. 1-propanol is a by-product formed from certain amino acids when potatoes or grains are fermented to produce ethanol.

Protein

Comments

 
Picture
macronutrient used for growth and repair of tissues. As it is vital for many physiological processes, inadequate protein intake may cause hormonal disorders, muscle wasting, affect skin and impair immunity.  The American Dietetic Association recommends 0.36 g of protein per pound of body weight (recommended daily allowance). The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) recommends that active people consume 0.4 g to 0.6 g per pound of body weight with as much as 0.8 g for a competitive athlete.

Too much protein can lead to increase in liver enzymes, kidney problems and leaky gut. High protein diets lead to high urinary creatinine while low protein dieting leads to urine saturated with citric acid.
A deficiency in protein leads to muscle atrophy, impaired immune system and weaker bones. Dietary protein intake was shown to be inversely associated with risk of stroke in women with hypertension. Lean animal protein like fish showed most protective benefit.

Protein food group

Comments

 
Picture
All foods made from meat, poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, processed soy products, nuts, and seeds are considered part of the Protein Foods Group. These are foods that are high in animal or plant protein. Usually this mean about 10 grams or more of protein in one serving. Beans and peas are also part of the Vegetable Group. Nuts are technically fruit, while seeds are a part of a plant that distinguishes fruits from vegetables.  Grains, which are really just oversized seeds, are also fruits.

In general, 1 ounce of meat, poultry or fish (7 g protein), ¼ cup cooked beans (~4 grams protein), 1 egg (6 g protein), 1 tablespoon of peanut butter (4 g protein), or ½ ounce of nuts or seeds (6 g protein) can be considered as 1 ounce-equivalent from the Protein Foods Group. This is about half or a third of a serving.  
Foods in the protein group provide vital nutrients for optimal health and maintenance of the body.
  • Seeds, nuts, eggs, dry beans and peas, fish, poultry, and meat offer a number of nutrients that include magnesium, zinc, iron, vitamin E, niacin, thiamin, B6, riboflavin, and of course protein.
  • Protein acts as the body’s building block for muscles, bones, cartilage, skin and the blood. They are also building blocks for important functional levels of hormones, enzymes, and vitamins. Proteins also provide calories.
  • B vitamins help with the nervous system and helps build tissues; iron carries oxygen in the blood; magnesium helps builds bones and energy release from muscles.

Proton Pump Inhibitors

Comments

 
Picture
Drugs reducing the amount of acid made by the stomach. Proton Pump Inhibitors (PPIs) work by binding to protein pumps (hydrogen/potassium ATPase enzymes on gastric parietal cells) and blocking the secretion of hydrogen ions into the stomach, which combine with chloride ions in the stomach lumen to form gastric acid. PPIs are used to treat heartburn, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and gastric ulcers. Two most common uses of PPIs are treatment of dyspepsia and prevention of gastrointestinal bleeding among patients prescribed antiplatelet therapy. ​​

Protein supplements

Comments

 
Picture
dietary and bodybuilding supplements that supply extra protein.
​Although they are not supposed recorded measurable amounts of free-form amino acids, which spike protein content in standard laboratory tests but add little nutritional benefit (beyond physiologically appropriate proportions). Asparagine was the most commonly spiked amino acid (15/74 products), followed by alanine (11/74), glycine (8/74), taurine (8/74), and leucine (7/74). Histidine, glutamine, alanine, cysteine, and taurine were the highest-risk amino acids, recording the most severe spikes in our batch analysis, respectively.
