Your Essential Guide to
Vitamins and Minerals
Thiamin and Riboflavin
Written by:
Ashley Valle
B vitamins are vital to our body's
processes, they help us get energy from
the food we consume, make new red
blood cells1, and maintain the health of
the body's tissues2. In this month’s issue,
we will focus on two B vitamins, thiamin
and riboflavin, also known as vitamins B1
& B2.
Thiamin (B1) is a water-soluble vitamin
(like the other B vitamins) vital to the
health of cells in the human body.³ It is
stored in the heart, liver, kidneys, and
brain – but only for a short period of
time⁴, and excess is excreted through the
urine. Because thiamin is only kept in our
bodies for short periods of time, it is
important to maintain a consistent and
adequate consumption of this vitamin to
avoid deficiency.⁴ Thiamine is found in
various foods and is readily available
throughout food groups, examples of
sources of this vitamin are mung beans,
enriched grain products, nuts, pork,
poultry, fruits, and whole grains.⁴
Thiamin deficiency, although
uncommon, is possible and can be
detrimental if left untreated. Edema,
moon face, inability to concentrate,
defective memory, weight loss, cardiac
symptoms and disorientation are
possible physical manifestations of
thiamin deficiency.⁴⁵ One condition that
may happen because of thiamin
deficiency is Beriberi, there are two types
with varying symptoms6. Wet beriberi is
characterized by edema, heightened
heart rate, and shortness of breath. Dry is
characterized by confusion, pain,
numbness in extremities, and more6.
4

Riboflavin (B2) is found in beef liver, eggs,
fortified breakfast cereals & oats, yogurt,
mushrooms, spinach, apples, and more⁷.
This water-soluble vitamin is found in
high amounts in animal foods, for
countries where animal foods are a
luxury, riboflavin deficiency is more
common⁷. Riboflavin deficiency can
result in symptoms such as edema of the
mouth and throat, sore throat, cheilosis,
glossitis, angular stomatitis, hair loss, and
more, people who consume small
amounts of milk and meat products,
lactating and pregnant women, and
people with riboflavin transporter
deficiency are more at risk of developing
riboflavin deficiency⁷.
Overall, Thiamin and Riboflavin both work
to break down nutrients, with thiamine
breaking down sugar and proteins, and
riboflavin breaks down carbohydrates,
fats and proteins9. Both vitamins are
essential to the breakdown of
macronutrients and must be consumed
regularly to prevent deficiency and
promote optimal health. Guidelines for
thiamin consumption are 1.2mg for men
and 1.1mg for women3, and 1.3 and 1.2 for
men and women for riboflavin8.
Although it may seem daunting to make
sure you are consuming enough of any
micronutrient, a well-balanced diet
containing all food groups with an
emphasis on fruits, vegetables and
whole grains is always the best choice!

Mythbusting
How Effective Are Gummy
Vitamins?
Written By: Dahnine
McCune-Moyer
Gummy vitamins are sold at most grocery
stores, CVS, Wal-Mart, you name it. Sales are on
the rise, expected to reach over 7 billion this
year alone and over 13 billion in the next five
years. These supplements promise to boost
everything from nail growth to women's health2
& they look and taste a lot like candy, so beware
of possible dental caries3. Manufacturers
purposefully make these vitamins fun and
colorful to eat, so you will keep coming back for
more. Even celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian
are jumping on this gummy vitamin craze. She is
producing her own line, promising her
consumers everything from sharpened focus to
stronger nails or relaxtion.
Some doctors and registered dietitians say
buyer beware, gummy vitamins typically
contain between 2-8 grams of sugar per serving.
Sugar-free gummies are no better, they contain
high levels of sugar alcohols, which can cause
GI issues such as gas and bloat4. Lab testing
has shown more quality problems with gummy
vitamins than the swallow version. Gummy
vitamins lose potency fast than regular
vitamins. So to maintain what is on the label,
manufacturers must spray them with extra
vitamins. Sometimes too much of a good thing
isn't good at all – take for example: too much
melatonin or iron.
Registered dietitians and doctors say eating
avariety of whole foods is the best way to get
your vitamins, and it doesn't have to be fresh to
be the best. Eating canned or frozen foods is a
healthy source of necessary vitamins and
minerals1. Gummy vitamins can be a good
source for people with malnutrition or who
have difficulty swallowing pills.
8

Look for the labels on the vitamins to have
USP or NSF labeling5. This third-party seal
states that the vitamin has been tested for
purity and consistency. You should always
consult a professional before taking a
supplement, and please pay attention to the
dosing on the package. These yummy-looking
gummy vitamins are not candies.
Factors considered taking vitamins are if you
are pregnant/ breastfeeding, have nutrient
malabsorption, or have a restrictive diet, you
might want to consider taking a vitamin. But if
you eat an overall healthy diet and eat various
foods, you should absorb adequate vitamins
and minerals. Remember to eat the rainbow.
Add whole grains, fruits, beans, greens, and
lentils to your healthy diet.

The Lunch Box: Kale Chips
B Y K A T E
O V E R B Y
Nutrition resolutions don’t have to be boring and bland! These kale chips are sure
to add some fun and flavor to your 2023 snack game. Kale is considered a superfood
and is high in vitamins A and K. This recipe also includes nutritional yeast which is
an excellent source of vitamin B12. B12 is especially valuable to those following a
plant-based diet. But don’t worry, these kale chips are sure to satisfy plant and
animal eaters alike!
A huge thanks to Dr. Casey Colin for sharing her kale chip recipe with us. Learn
more about Dr. Colin in the Staff Spotlight article of our October issue.
Ingredients:
6 cups kale (washed, stems removed, and
torn into large pieces)
½ cup olive oil
4 heaping tbsps nutritional yeast
2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp cayenne pepper
½ cup raw pumpkin seeds
Salt and pepper to taste
11

Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. In a large bowl, use a whisk to combine
the olive oil, nutritional yeast, lemon
juice, cayenne pepper, and pumpkin
seeds
3. Add kale to the mixture and use your
hands to massage the dressing into the
kale. Don’t forget to wash your hands!!!
4. Spread the kale onto a sheet pan lined
with parchment paper. Do not create
more than a single layer of kale. This
may take multiple baking sheets
5. Sprinkle your uncooked kale chips with
salt and pepper
6. Bake for 15 minutes rotating the sheet
pan(s) and tossing the chips with tongs
halfway
7. Remove chips from the oven and
transfer them onto paper towels to cool
8. Store in an airtight container for up to 3
days, but they don’t usually last that long
at my house…

Research Roundup
CORRELATION BETWEEN
PLANT BASED DIET &
COLORECTAL CANCER
Written By: Alicia Scott
A plant-based diet is high in fruits, vegetables,
legumes, nuts, grains, and seeds, and it limits or
excludes foods that contain animal products,
such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy.
When it comes to plant-based diets, there are
now indices that they can fall under, and it
takes into account intakes of both plant and
animal foods and considers the quality of plant
foods. There are three indices that a plantbased
diet can fall under: the overall plantbased
diet index, healthful plant-based diet
index, and unhealthful plant-based diet index.1
Studies have shown that the overall plantbased
diet index and healthy plant-based diet
index are associated with a lower
risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and
other health comorbidities.1 There is now
new research examining if these diet indices
are associated with colon cancer risk in
racially and ethnically diverse populations.
Colorectal cancer can be called colon or
rectal cancer depending on its origin. It has
been reported that black males and females
have both higher incidence and mortality
rates when compared to other races.2 In
addition, non-Hispanic males and females
have higher incidence and mortality rates
compared to Hispanics. Not only is the
prevalence high in those populations, but
colorectal cancer is also the third most
malignant and the fourth most common
cause of death for cancers worldwide.1
13

To determine if there is a correlation between
plant-based diets and colorectal cancer,
researchers at the Kyung Hee University in
South Korea conducted a cohort study that
contained participants from Hawaii and Los
Angeles that ranged in ages from 45-75 years
old.1 This group was both racially and
culturally diverse, including Japanese
Americans, Caucasians, African Americans, and
Latinos. The participants’ intake of food was
assessed using a quantitative food frequency
questionnaire. In the assessment, the three
indices mentioned above were used based on
different food groups. A total of 16 food
groups were classified as healthy plant foods,
including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts,
and legumes, and the less healthy foods were
refined grains, fruit juices, potatoes, animal
products, and added sugars.1 After this, the
incidence of new colorectal cancer cases was
calculated using cancer registries and data
that was collected in 2017. The researchers
then accounted for different factors, such as
age, family history of colorectal cancer, BMI,
years of smoking cigarettes, alcohol
consumption, multivitamin use, physical
activity, and many other factors.1
Even though the study’s results show that
plant-based diets of different indices can
have some impact colorectal cancer risk,
further research is needed to determine if
certain racial and ethnic groups have an
increased risk and how plant-based diets
may affect these groups in different ways.

Nutraceuticals
What are Nutraceuticals?
By Isabelle Brazelton
The word nutraceutical can sound a bit confusing or intimidating, but what does
this word actually mean? Put simply, the term nutraceutical refers to a product
that is derived from a food source and has enhanced health benefits.1,2 Literally
speaking, nutraceutical comes from the words “nutrient” and “pharmaceutical,”
translating to a type of nutrient-based medicine. Nutraceuticals can be further
broken down into subgroups of dietary supplements, functional foods, medicinal
foods, and “farmaceuticals” described below.
Dietary Supplements: products
such as pills, powders, liquids, or
capsules that contain nutrients
distilled from food products.
Functional Foods: whole foods and
fortified foods that have the
potential to produce enhanced
health benefits and reduce the risk
of some chronic diseases.
Medicinal Foods: nourishment that
is formulated to be taken and given
internally while under proper
medical supervision and intended to
provide dietary management of a
specific condition.
Farmaceuticals: medically valuable
components that are made as
products of modified crops or
animals and can be cost-efficient
alternatives to traditional drugs.
Benefits and concerns of
Nutraceuticals
So, what exactly are the benefits?
Are there concerns? Well, the
biggest suggested benefit of
nutraceuticals is of course their
presumed health benefits. These
include improved overall health,
prevention of chronic diseases,
delayed aging, increased life
expectancy, and general functional
support of the body.1,2 Most current
interest in nutraceuticals surrounds
their nutritional, safety, and
therapeutic properties. The market
for them continues to expand
rapidly.2 The biggest concern with
nutraceuticals is the lack of research
and regulation surrounding them;
these are areas currently being
looked at for improvement.
17

The Future of Nutraceuticals
As the interest and demand for
nutraceuticals continue to rise, so
does the need for proven
evidence.3 While pharmaceutical
products are scrupulously
regulated and need to be
approved by the government,
nutraceuticals are not held to the
same high standard.2,3 Instead,
the sales and praise of
nutraceuticals have been mostly
sustained by word of mouth and
personal experience.

There are, however, various
studies that have shown some
promising results of
nutraceuticals in the treatment of
pathological complications like
cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
arthrosclerosis, neurological
disorders, and cancer.2 Overall,
conducting research on the true
effects of nutraceuticals can be
difficult; this is due to the fact
that human clinical trials can be
scarce and inconclusive, and
issues such as bioavailability,
metabolism, dosage, response,
and toxicity have not been well
established yet.4 Nevertheless,
the realm of nutraceuticals is still
very promising and research into
the science behind how they can
affect our health continues to
develop and expand.

Should You Ditch The New Year Diet?
Written By: Sofie Van
Moorlegham
The new year has begun, and we all are loosening our belts
after our thanksgiving and holiday feasts with thoughts of
starting a diet in the new year. From keto to juicing, the ways
that society uses the new year as a fresh start seem endless.
With the overwhelming amount of yoyo diets, it brings up the
question of how this can affect our bodies in the long run. As
one diet fails, we immediately start the next one without a
second thought, but how does this affect our bodily systems?
Is it as healthy as we think?
Yoyo dieting is classified as the constant loss and gain of
weight through the methods of food restriction and fad diets.
Another term for this is weight cycling, and it affects 10% of
men and 30% of women.1 This common experience consists
of a short-term weight loss and a regain of 30% to 65% of that
lost weight within the same year.1 This yoyo effect starts with
an extreme diet, which restricts calories and limits
consumable food, resulting in weight loss. However, as weeks
pass and fatigue or boredom ensue from lack of energy and
food, the dieter goes back to eating normally and weight is put
back on. Overly restrictive diets like keto, juicing, and fasting
are doomed to fail, as they are unsustainable and difficult to
manage in everyday life.
Okay, so you do the yoyo diet, and it fails. Fine, you’ll just try
the next newest fad diet, and this one will help you lose
weight because you will have more willpower this time. As
that next diet fails, the same loop goes through your mind. No
harm, no foul, right? Well, these fads that people go through
can have very long-term effects, and it can get worse the
more restrictive diets you try.
20

One of the effects of yoyo dieting is increased weight gain
from a slowed metabolism, binging, and generally
overeating.2,3 Muscle loss also occurs from constant dieting,
as fat and muscle are both lost during dieting and fat is
regained more easily than muscle, leading to decreased
muscle and increased fat. Additionally, weight cycling can
increase one’s chances of developing heart disease, type 2
diabetes, and fatty liver disease. More specifically, researchers
have found that chronic yoyo dieters have a 23% increase in
disease risk.2 This is due to the dramatic weight fluctuations,
stress on metabolic systems, and elevated fat accumulation
that yoyo dieters often experience.2
There are many physical issues that come along with weight
cycling, but it can also be detrimental on one’s mental health.
The constant feeling of defeat and being ashamed of one’s
“weak will” can make depression, frustration, and low selfesteem
common among yoyo dieters.2,3 It often makes people
feel discouraged and unconfident, with a lower health-related
quality of life and increased stress. All the negative mental
health effects lead to more yoyo dieting, which results in
worse mental and physical health and, consequently, more
dieting. It is a never-ending cycle that only makes people
unhealthier and more at risk of chronic diseases and mental
anguish.
It is time to end the cycle and ditch the “New Year Diet.”
Instead of turning to the latest fad diet in the nearest grocery
store magazine, try to speak to your local dietitian about which
food changes could work for you in the long-term. Diet
restrictions are not sustainable but small changes are. Quick
weight loss fixes do not exist, but anyone can work towards
manageable long-term weight loss. Figure out what works for
you and learn to feel good about yourself! Change happens
one step at a time!

SPORTS NUTRITION
THE INFLUENCE OF DIET IN SPORT
INJURIES
Written by: Asal
Abbaszadeh
Injuries are common and often
unavoidable for all people that
participate in sport-related activities.1
Nutrition plays a huge role in how our
body functions and it is the
fundamental building block that
supports athletic performance. Eating
the right nutrients can not only prevent
injuries, but also aid in the recovery
process.¹,²
To avoid injuries, it is vital that athletes
meet their daily energy and nutrient
requirements. A well-balanced diet is
essential to ensure the necessary
nutrients to support athletic training.¹
This includes adequate amounts of
carbohydrates before exercise to
provide energy, and protein after to
rebuild muscles. Hydration is also
important for fluid movement and joint
flexibility.¹ Additionally, vitamins and
minerals such as magnesium, calcium,
iron, and potassium, are necessary to
boost immunity and strengthen bones.¹
Proper nutritional support can help give
your body what it needs and reduce the
risk of injuries.¹,²
23

When injuries do occur, nutrition can
play a huge role in influencing
recovery.¹ The healing process varies
amongst individuals, so it is important to
distinguish the type and severity of the
injury to gain insight on the best
nutritional approach. In all cases,
healing and recovery involves three,
overlapping phases: inflammation,
proliferation, and remodeling.²
The first phase is inflammation. When
muscles become excessively damaged, it
triggers inflammatory hormones to
repair tissue damage² This response is
beneficial at first; however, it can
become counterproductive if
prolonged.² The injured blood vessels
activate white blood cells to the
damaged areas which causes redness
and swelling. It is recommended to eat
foods that have anti-inflammatory
properties to avoid further injury.¹,²
Tomatoes, berries, fatty fish, and spices,
like turmeric, can help fight off
inflammation.¹ Next, is the proliferative
phase. It helps to repair epithelial tissue,
as well as produce new collagen and
blood vessels.² In this phase, it is
recommended to eat foods with healthy
fats, like nuts and salmon, to support the
fibroblasts' main functions.¹ Lastly, is
the maturation phase, also known as the
remodeling phase. It continues collagen
and tissue repair by cross-linking the
collagen to strengthen the skin barrier.²
This phase requires a lot of energy to
regenerate tissue fibers, so increased
carbohydrate intake is essential.¹,²
Vitamins A, C, E, and zinc are also
important to help growth and
development.¹
Overall, it is important to remember that
you cannot out-train poor nutrition.
Since athletes are pushing their bodies
to maximum levels, they need to
maintain proper nutrients to help
reduce the risk of injury.1 Healthy
eating can not only support athletic
training but also assist in injury
recovery by coordinating different
nutrients throughout the healing
process.1,2
