A Sociological Exploration of Modern /Colonial Cosmology and Food
… a nutritional scientist can only break a given food down into its component parts, measured in chemicals, and study them one by one, even if complex interactions and contexts might be ignored. Such scientific analysis and through it, ways of conceptualizing food, ignores the possibility that the …

Regulation of postprandial protein metabolism after food ingestion and exercise
Whole body and skeletal muscle mass is regulated by counterbalanced fluctuations between protein synthesis and breakdown rates. Protein ingestion has been shown to stimulate protein synthesis rates and thus is an important variable within the net protein balance equation dictating a positive …
