Genetics of Milk Intolerance.

Posted on February 28, 2009 by Dr. Gary Pack

Adult-type hypolactasia (low lactic acid tolerance), an evolutionary phenomenon, is known as lactase non-persistence and primary lactose malabsorption. The lactase enzyme helps metabolize lactose (milk sugar.) Historically, a mutation occurred which prevents that down-regulation of lactase at weaning and lactose digestion persists into adulthood. Not all humans have this mutation. Over 50% of the adult […]

Posted on February 28, 2008 by Dr. Gary Pack

Probiotics have been shown to have anti-cancer effects on colon cancer in animals. Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) consists of a group of linoleic acid (LA) forms that are anti-inflammatory, antiatherogenic, antidiabetic and anti-carcinogenic. CLA can be formed from LA by certain bacterial strains and has been shown to reduce the incidence of cancer of the […]

Fava Bean Lectins in Colon Cancer.

Posted on April 26, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

Lectins, simple proteins found in food that can bind to specific carbohydrates, can alter the differentiation of colonic cells. Lectins, however, do not digest well. The ability of cells to differentiate is regulated by adhesion molecules on the cells, which can be bound by the lectins. The goal of the present study was to evaluate […]
