When it comes to protein, the same serving size on paper may not mean the same nutritional payoff in the body. A 2023 Purdue University study found that two ounce equivalents (oz-eq) of animal-based protein foods [...]
Scientists found that a tomato-soy juice rich in plant-derived compounds altered inflammation-related signals in healthy adults with obesity. A new study found that drinking tomato-soy juice rich in health-promoting plant compounds reduced levels of inflammatory proteins in healthy adults with obesity after four weeks. The results suggest the beverage could serve as a functional food [...]
