Glycaemic variability challenges the accuracy and use of the glycaemic index (GI). The purpose of the current study was to determine the role of mastication on GI. Using a randomized, controlled, ...

We do it every day but barely give it a thought: chewing our food. But the "simple" process of masticating food may have played a crucial role in the evolution of our jaws, facial muscles and teeth. A ...

Recently, frequency of mastication has dramatically decreased along with changes in dietary habits. Masticatory stimulation has particular influence on the development of the central nervous system as ...

Bone undergoes a constant reconstruction process of resorption and formation called bone remodeling, so that it can endure mechanical loading. During food ingestion, masticatory muscles generate the ...

Professor D. J. McClements of the University of Massachusetts and Dr Steve Carrington of Malvern Panalytical demonstrate how rheology can be used to determine the food changes that occur during the ...

Many scientific and medical terms describe ordinary actions that people perform every day without giving them much thought.

Researchers have delivered the influence of masticatory stimulus on brain function in order to establish the molecular basis of new treatments and preventive measures for memory/learning dysfunction.
