Heme Oxygenase 1 Protects Human Colonocytes Against ROS Formation, Oxidative DNA Damage and Cytotoxicity Induced by Heme Iron, But Not Inorganic Iron
From the abstract: “ In this study, we investigated the genotoxic and cytotoxic effects of heme iron (i.e., hemin) versus inorganic iron in human colonic epithelial cells (HCEC), human CRC cell lines and murine intestinal organoids.”
More DetailsInfluence of Individual Life Course and Neighbourhood Socioeconomic Position on Dietary Intake in African Americans: The Jackson Heart Study
From the abstract: “ However, there are scant data regarding factors such as socioeconomic position (SEP) across the life course that influence dietary behaviours in this high-risk population. Our aim was to examine the impact of life course and neighbourhood SEPs on dietary intake among African Americans.”

More DetailsWildlife–Livestock Interactions in Animal Production Systems: What are the Biosecurity and Health Implications?
There are many ways in which farmed animals and wildlife interact, such as using the same water and grazing spots and direct contact due to poor biosecurity.
More DetailsEnvironmental and Human Health Challenges of Industrial Livestock and Poultry Farming in China and their Mitigation
in the context of growing industrialized livestock and poultry production in China, this review article examines the pollutants emitted by concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and their consequences for CAFO workers, communities, and the food system.
More DetailsInfectious Diseases and Meat Production
It is estimated that about 72% of zoonotic diseases derive from wildlife. Disease transmission comes from wildlife-human interactions mainly through bushmeat (hunting wild animals such as apes for consumption), backyard farming, and intensive/industrial farming.
More DetailsChildren and Adults Should Avoid Consuming Animal Products to Reduce Risk for Chronic Disease: NO
In this article, one author (Leroy) presents the primary argument that a diet free of animal products is unable to prevent chronic disease and lacks highly bioavailable nutrients and depends on fortification and supplementation.
