Objectives: The aim of the present in vitro study was the evaluation of a CPP–ACP paste (Tooth Mousse) on preventing dental erosion produced by a soft drink (Coca Cola), using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Methods: Thirty extracted human central incisors free of caries were selected and divided in a treatment and a control half. The treatment halves were divided in three groups—group 1: demine...

Five samples of each soft drink from each region were analysed. * P < 0.05 v US concentration; y P < 0.05 v European concentration. The full data for the concentrations of glucose, fructose, and sucrose, and of total glucose and total fructose in each drink is included in the online Appendix. u Dlimit the drinking of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), Australians are particularly high consumers ...

background & aim: erosion has been defined as the irreversible loss of dental hard tissue by a chemical process not involving bacteria. dental erosion is an important cause of tooth tissue loss in both children and adults. acids of intrinsic and extrinsic origin (gastric juice and acidic foodstaffs, beverages) are thought to be the main etiologic factors for dental erosion. the reported inciden...

This review focuses on the potential role of soft drinks, particularly the sugar component, in the pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction (ED). We analyzed the hypothetical link between metabolic disorders, induced by sweetened soft drinks overconsumption, and ED. High caloric intake, high refined-carbohydrates, and high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) content and less satiety are main factors respons...

BACKGROUND Computerized cognitive behaviour therapy (CCBT) programs can provide a useful self-help approach to the treatment of psychological problems. Previous studies have shown that CCBT has moderate effects on depression, insomnia, and anxiety. The present study investigated whether a supplement drink that includes L-carnosine enhances the effect of CCBT on psychological well-being. METHO...

Background The prevalence of overweight and obesity has increased dramatically in both adults and children in the last three decades in the n California, 62% of adolescents ages 12-17 and 41% of children ages 2-11 drink at least one soda or other sweetened beverage every day. In addition, 24% of adults drink at least one soda or other sweetened beverage on an average day. Adults who drink soda ...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE The aim of the presented study was to check differences between 'Diet' and 'non-Diet' soft drinks on cell proliferation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola of different origin and their dietetic versions were examined at concentrations of 2% and 4%. Fructose and glucose as well as medium alone (control) were examined. RESULTS Cell number was higher in ...

Based on evidence that the color red elicits avoidance motivation across contexts (Mehta & Zhu, 2009), two studies investigated the effect of the color red on snack food and soft drink consumption. In line with our hypothesis, participants drank less from a red labeled cup than from a blue labeled cup (Study 1), and ate less snack food from a red plate than from a blue or white plate (Study 2)....

Human’s intention plays a key role in humanmachine interaction as in the case of a robot serving for a handicapped person. The quality of a service robot will be much enhanced if the robot can infer the human’s intension during the interaction process. In this paper, we propose a soft computing-based technique to read a user’s intention using some multisensors-based approach. We have tested the...

OBJECTIVE The marked increase in the prevalence of obesity in the United States has recently been attributed to the increased fructose consumption. To determine if and how fructose might promote obesity in an animal model, we measured body composition, energy intake, energy expenditure, substrate oxidation, and several endocrine parameters related to energy homeostasis in mice consuming fructos...
