[Associations between dietary intake and urinary excretion of sodium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium]
OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: The associations between dietary intake and urinary excretion of sodium (Na), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), and phosphorus (P), and the major dietary sources derived from the urinary minerals were studied in a nutritional survey of 219 Japanese females aged 27-84 years, who completed anthropometric measurements, a one-day dietary record, and […]

Ascorbic acid, folic acid, and potassium content in postharvest green-flesh honeydew muskmelons: influence of cultivar, fruit size, soil type, and year
Two important chemicals and an essential mineral (phytonutrients) for human health and well-being are ascorbic acid, 5-methyl-tetrahydrofolic acid (folic acid) and potassium. The influence of cultivar, fruit size, soil type and year on these compounds in [Cucumis melo L. (Inodorous Group)] was determined. Fully mature (abscised) commercial size fruit: 4,5,6, 8, and 9 (fruit/0.031 m(3) […]

Potassium citrate prevents increased urine calcium excretion and bone resorption induced by a high sodium chloride diet
The amount of sodium chloride in the diet of industrialized nations far exceeds physiological requirements. The impact of abundant dietary salt on skeletal health has yet to be established, but is potentially detrimental through increased urinary calcium losses. We examined the effect of increased dietary sodium chloride on urine calcium excretion and bone turnover markers […]

Changes of tomato yield and fruit elemental composition in conventional, low input, and organic systems
The Sustainable Agriculture Farming System (SAFS) Project was begun in 1988 to compare conventional 4-year and 2-year rotations receiving synthetic fertilizers and pesticides to low input and organic farming systems. In 1998 and 1999, we evaluated the influence of 10 years of organic, low input, and conventional management practices on soil chemical properties, processing tomato […]

Oxalate content of soybean seeds (Glycine max : Leguminosae), soyfoods, and other edible legumes
Consumption of soybeans and food products made from them is increasing because of their desirable nutritional value. However, the oxalate content of seeds from 11 cultivars of soybean showed relatively high levels of total oxalate from 0.67 to 3.5 g/100 g of dry weight. Oxalate primarily was found as calcium oxalate crystals. Thirteen tested commercial […]
