Experimental and functional food research

Write a Research Report for all study elements in the Article Deconstruction Worksheet Click for more options Article Deconstruction Worksheet – Alternative Formats for each article, instead of re-summarizing the abstracts. Provide specific details and support each assertion with evidence. Your Research Report should be in 2 sections. Do not combine the articles into one deconstruction:
Highlighting Primary Research Article 1
Highlighting Primary Research Article 2
Note: The section headings for the two sections are the only two sections of the Research Report. The Research Report should not have an introduction or conclusion. You should not be summarizing the authors introductions either – jump right into the studies by starting with the study objective and go from there. Review the grading rubric here Click for more options grading rubric here – Alternative Formats .
Create a Microsoft Word document using the following formatting guidelines:
Cover sheet with the topic of the Research Report, your name, and the course name (NHM 454)

Digestive disorders are nothing new. As long as humans have consumed food, there have been problems with digestion. Now think about how human nutrition has changed over time and across geographical locations.
TASK:

Identify a digestive disorder that is closely linked to a particular time or place.
For example, a lower incidence of colorectal cancer has been documented in parts of the world where the local diet consists primarily of fresh fruits and vegetables with low consumption of cooked red meat. (Note: colorectal cancer is an example—please do not use this disorder in your discussion.)

CONTENT:

Discuss the causes and symptoms of your chosen disorder and possible treatment options.

Include information on the role of diet in mitigating or treating symptoms of the disorder.

Cite at least two sources in your response. These can include sources in our LEO course.

Nutrition assessment: before school breakfast

Follow these guidelines when completing this assignment. Speak with your faculty member if you have questions.
Identify target groups- your team will be assigned the specific type of facility menus to research. As a team, you will select two facilities which care for your population’s demographic (age, culture). For teams with one or more members enrolled in a cultural concentration option, the entire team should select facilities which care for that population’s demographic.

The instructor may provide the team’s assigned age group and the type of facility in which the clients receive care. Team size may vary, depending on class size. Three to five students per team is ideal.

Search for some differences between the facilities, such as urban versus rural, small versus large, or teaching versus non-teaching organizations.
