Ageing women may choose to drink soya milk to reduce menopausal symptoms. As fermentation enriches soya milk with isoflavone aglycones, its beneficial qualities may improve. To reduce osteoporotic risk, however, soya milk must be Ca enriched, and it is not known how fermentation affects Ca bioavailability. A randomised crossover pilot study was undertaken to compare the Ca absorption of fortified soya milk with that of fermented and fortified soya milk in twelve Australian osteopenic post-menopausal women. The fortified soya milk was inoculated with Lactobacillus acidophilus American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 4962 and fermented for 24 h at 37°C. Ca absorption from soya milk samples was measured using a single isotope radiocalcium method. Participants had a mean age of 54·8 (sd 12·3) years, with mean BMI of 26·5 (sd 5·5) kg/m2 and subnormal to normal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (mean 62·5 (sd 19·1) nmol/l). Participants consumed 185 kBq of 45Ca in 44 mg of Ca carrier. The mean fractional Ca absorption (α) from soya milk and fermented soya milk was 0·64 (sd 0·23) and 0·71 (sd 0·29), respectively, a difference not of statistical significance (P = 0·122). Although fermentation of soya milk may provide other health benefits, fermentation had little effect on acute Ca absorption.

In the last 50 years science has provided new perspectives on the ancient art of herbal medicine. The present article discusses ways in which the evidence base for the professional use of 'Western' herbal medicine, as therapy to treat disease, known as phytotherapy, can be strengthened and developed. The evidence base for phytotherapy is small and lags behind that for the nutritional sciences, mainly because phytochemicals are ingested as complex mixtures that are incompletely characterised and have only relatively recently been subject to scientific scrutiny. While some methodologies developed for the nutritional sciences can inform phytotherapy research, opportunities for observational studies are more limited, although greater use could be made of patient case notes. Randomised clinical trials of single-herb interventions are relatively easy to undertake and increasing numbers of such studies are being published. Indeed, enough data are available on three herbs (ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum) and saw palmetto (Serenoa repens)) for meta-analyses to have been undertaken. However, phytotherapy is holistic therapy, using lifestyle advice, nutrition and individually-prescribed mixtures of herbs aimed at reinstating homeostasis. While clinical experience shows that this approach is applicable to a wide range of conditions, including chronic disease, evidence of its efficacy is scarce. Strategies for investigating the full holistic approach of phytotherapy and its main elements are discussed and illustrated through the author's studies at the University of Reading.

In the early 1930s, after obtaining her PhD on the carbohydrates in apples, Dr Elsie Widdowson embarked on a postgraduate course in dietetics at King’s College of Household and Social Science, London. During the hospital training element of this course at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, she was appalled at the inaccuracy of the food compositional data being used to formulate medically-prescribed diets. She resolved to change matters, and after she had joined Dr McCance’s team she realized that they had already obtained sufficient new analytical data on the majority of the food groups to form the basis of completely new tables.

The cholesterolaemic effects in rats of a diet (VS) containing Bambara groundnuts (Vignu subterrunea), a popular legume eaten in Nigeria, were compared with diets PV, PS, LC and PL, containing baked beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), marrowfat peas (Pisum sativum), lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.) and butter beans (Phaseolus lunatus) respectively. Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were fed on hypercholesterolaemic semi-purified diets supplemented with 10 g cholesterol and 5 g cholic acid/kg and formulated to provide 40% of energy from fat, as in a typical Western-type human diet. Legumes were substituted for 330 g/kg of the semi-purified diet on a dry-matter basis, which was modified to maintain the same contribution of energy sources as the control diet C3. Another ten rats were fed on control diet C2, which was similar to diet C3 but with no added cholesterol. The rats were fed for 8 weeks and plasma cholesterol levels were measured at weeks 4 and 8. The diets incorporating the five different legume species produced very Merent cholesterolaemic effects. Diets PV and PL were more potent at lowering raised plasma cholesterol levels than diets PS and LC. Inclusion of the Bambara groundnut into the semi-purified diet resulted in an exaggeration of hypercholesterolaemia. Differences in cholesterol-lowering capacity of the various legume diets in this experiment could not be related to concentrations of faecal bile acids or neutral sterols. However, there was evidence that the inclusion of legumes in the diets reduced the faecal excretion of secondary bile acids

The plasma-cholesterol-lowering effects of some dietary legumes are now well established from animal and human studies, but the mechanism is not completely understood. The present study investigated the effect of baked beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) on steroid metabolism of hypercholesterolaemic pigs. Three groups of four pigs were studied: baseline (BL), normal pigs (NP) and those previously prepared with an ileo-rectal anastomosis to nullify the function of the large intestine (IR). All three groups were given a semi-purified control diet, with about 40% energy as fat (polyunsaturated: saturated fatty acid (P:S) ratio 0.3), supplemented with 10 g cholesterol/kg, for 14 d. Then IR and NP pigs were fed for 28 d on a diet supplemented with 10 g cholesterol/kg and 300 g baked beans/kg (dry-matter basis), so that the 40% contribution to energy from fat was maintained (P:S ratio 0.3). Group BL was fed on the control diet throughout. The intact pigs (NP) fed on baked beans showed considerable differences compared with the other groups, as follows: (a) reduced plasma cholesterol (NS); (b) higher concentration of cholesterol in bile (NS); (c) higher concentration of bile acids, especially secondary bile acids, in bile (P < 0.05); (d) reduced elimination of bile acids in faeces, especially secondary bile acids (P < 0.05); (e) higher excretion of coprostanol and lower elimination of cholesterol in faeces (P < 0.05). From these findings it is proposed that a baked-bean-enriched diet potentiates bacterial fermentation and steroid degradation in the large intestine and enhances conservation of bile acids and cholesterol within the enterohepatic circulation. The high concentration of bile acids and cholesterol in bile may thus promote feedback inhibition of hepatic cholesterol synthesis, and hence, reduce plasma cholesterol.

The aim of the present study was to measure the effect of graded inclusion of baked beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) on plasma and liver lipids in hypercholesterolaemic pigs fed on a Western-type diet. Twenty- four Large White × Landrace pigs of about 30 kg body weight were made hypercholesterolaemic by feeding a semi-purified diet, high in saturated fat and supplemented with 10 g cholesterol/kg, for 14 d. After that, six pigs were randomly assigned to one of the four experimental groups. They received their respective diets, containing 0, 100, 200 or 300 g baked beans/kg, on a dry-matter basis, for a further 28 d. Fasting blood samples were taken and analysed for total plasma cholesterol, lipoproteins and triacylglycerols. After the pigs were slaughtered at the end of the study, livers were analysed for their cholesterol content. Consumption of baked beans at 100, 200 and 300 g/kg reduced plasma total cholesterol by 5·3, 20·2 and 35·6 % respectively. However, only the diet with 300 g baked beans/kg showed a significant reduction (P < 0·05) compared with the control (without baked beans)- The level of low-density-Hpoprotein-cholesterol was also significantly (P < 0·05) reduced by 48% at 300 g baked beans/kg. Plasma very-low-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol, high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol and triacylgiycerol contents were not affected by bean consumption. The supplements of 200 and 300 g baked beans/kg promoted a significant (P < 0·05) reduction of about 50% in cholesterol deposition in the liver, compared with the control.

The effect of four species of legume seeds on plasma cholesterol levels and faecal steroid excretion was studied in pigs. Thirty-six growing boars were randomly allocated in groups of six to six diets which they ate continuously for 42 d. The diets fed were: 1, a semi-purified (SP; control group 1) diet; 2, SP 10 g cholesterol/kg (control group 2); 3, 4, 5, 6, SP + cooked legumes (70:30, w/w; respectively baked beans (Phaseolus vulgaris), peas (Pisum sativum), lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.), butter beans (Phaseolus lunatus)) + 10 g cholesterol/kg. Fasting blood samples were taken on days 0, 14, 28, and 42 for the determination of total plasma cholesterol, high-density-lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol and triacylglycerols. Between days 7 and 11 and days 28 and 32 complete 5 d faecal collections were made for the measurement of neutral, acidic and conjugated steroids. After 42 d total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol levels were raised significantly in all groups, but to different extents. In comparison with control group 2, diet-induced hypercholesterolaemia was significantly inhibited in the groups consuming baked beans, peas and butter beans, although HDL-cholesterol levels were maintained. Faecal steroid excretion by the legume groups was not significantly different from that of control group 2. The results suggest that the mechanism for the hypocholesterolaemic effect does not involve increased hepatic bile acid synthesis and thereby increased cholesterol clearance via the intestinal route.

1. Thirteen normo-cholesterolaemic male students consumed one 450 g can of baked beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) in tomato sauce, daily, for 14 d as part of their normal diet. After a 14 d washout period, eleven of the students went on to consume one 440 g can of spaghetti in tomato sauce, daily, for 14 d.
2. Fasting blood samples were taken frequently for measurement of plasma cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, triacylglycerols, glucose, insulin and C-peptide. Diet diaries (3 d) were completed by the subjects during each period.
3. Consumption of beans and spaghetti led to a significant reduction in the amount of fat eaten daily (P < 0.05). Bean consumption also resulted in significant increases in protein, fibre and sugar intakes (P < 0.02, P < 0.001 and P < 0.05 respectively).
4. During the bean-eating period the mean total plasma cholesterol level of the students fell significantly from 5.1 to 4.5 mmol/l (P < 0.02). No reduction in plasma cholesterol occurred during the spaghetti-eating period.
5. HDL-cholesterol levels fell significantly during both periods (P < 0.001), but HDL:total cholesterol ratio was significantly reduced only during the spaghetti-eating period (P < 0.001). Neither beans nor spaghetti affected triacylglycerol, insulin or C-peptide levels.
6. The benefits of a legume-rich diet are discussed.

1. Twenty leaf-protein concentrates (LPC), were produced from different crops and by different processes, the latter being designed to retain maximum nutritional value of the samples.
2. The establishment of conditions for the use of CI Acid Orange 12 in a commercial dye-buffer reagent for the determination of protein and reactive (available) lysine in LPC was investigated.
3. Values for protein by dye-binding correlated well with those for tungstic-acid-precipitated nitrogen (×6.25).
4. Some LPC samples showed a loss of reactive lysine, the greatest loss being associated with the most severe processing conditions.
5. For the LPC samples studied, dye-binding provided a convenient method for the concurrent determination of protein and reactive lysine.

1. Twenty-eight leaf-protein concentrate (LPC) samples, subjected to different thermal treatments, were produced from five curd batches. For these samples, the fluorodinitrobenzene (FDNB)-reactive lysine values gave closer agreement with dye-binding lysine (DBL) than with the dye-binding capacity (DBC).
2. No relationship was established between the dye-bound-after-propionylation (DBAP) and the histidine+arginine value.
3. Comparison of dye-bound-protein values with those for tungstic-acid-precipitated nitrogen ×6.25 for the LPC samples showed the heat-damaged samples to lie below the regression line for the other samples.
4. Reactive-lysine values by dye-binding and by FDNB methods correlated well with total lysine, but the slopes of the regression line indicated closer agreement for values for samples not damaged by heat.
5. The correlation coefficients between DBC and total basic amino acids, DBC and histidine+arginine+DBL, and DBC and histidine+arginine+FDNB-reactive lysine were similar.
6. There was no correlation between the lightness of colour of the LPC samples and the availability of lysine.

1. The absorption of iron from 59Fe-labelled maize and soya-bean preparations was measured by whole-body counting in forty-two apparently healthy Jamaican infants and compared with the absorption of ferrous ascorbate.
2. The mean absorption of Fe from maize was 4·3% and from soya beans baked at 300°, 9·4%, compared with 28·5% for ferrous ascorbate. In a group of children given boiled soya beans the mean absorption of Fe was 2·8%, and of ferrous ascorbate 16·7%.
3. There was much variability between replicate tests made on the same child at intervals of 1–2 weeks.
4. The absorption of food Fe was not increased in children who were considered to be anaemic (haemoglobin less than 100 g/l) or Fe-deficient (serum Fe less than 500 μg/l and saturation of total Fe-binding capacity less than 15%).
5. The poor availability of Fe in maize meal, which is a staple food of children in Jamaica, is probably an important cause of the high prevalence of Fe-deficiency anaemia.
