The objectives of this study were to investigate 1) the foods intake as well as nutrients intake, 2) the nutritional knowledge, and 3) the relations between the foods and nutrients intakes and nutritional knowledge in adolescent rhythmic gymnasts (RGs). The results are summarized as follows. Average daily intakes of energy, calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B$_1$ vitamin B$_2$ and niacin were in 45-74％ of the RDAs for Koreans. Average daily energy intake was only about 50％ of energy expenditure by physical activities. Average daily intakes of each food group were generally lower, but intakes of breads and confectionaries, sugar and sweets, milks and dairy products, and instant foods were higher in the RGs compared to the nonathletic students of the same age from the National Health and Nutrition Suvey. The contribution of empty-calorie foods such as breads and confectionaries, beverage and instant foods to the major energy nutrients were high. Mean of total nutritional knowledge score of RGs was 28.4 of total score 50. In categorical score of nutritional knowledge, the RGs make a best score on food sources and they get the lowest marks for food exchange. Among the nutrients, intakes of crude fiber, animal Fe, Na, K, vitamin A, carotene, vitamin B$_1$ niacin and vitamin C and, among the food groups, intakes of mushrooms, fruits and meats had relations with one of the total or categorical nutritional knowledge scores in the RGs. In conclusion, nutritional status of adolescent RGs was poor due to their unbalanced diet composed of empty-calorie foods, and their undesirable food intake pattern was supposed to be related to the low nutritional knowledge score of them. These results indicate that the RGs should be given more nutritional knowledge to improve their nutritional status and the exercise performance.

Objectives: The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is increasing globally, and excessive added sugar consumption has been identified as one of the contributing factors. In the context of IBD, it is essential to explore functional sweeteners that can improve metabolic health and minimize the risk of IBD-related symptoms. This review article aims to shed light on the effects of natural mono- and di-saccharides as alternative sweeteners, specifically focusing on potential benefits for IBD. Methods: A comprehensive literature review was performed using PubMed and Google Scholar databases with articles published after the year 2000. The search terms 'IBD', 'added sugar', 'sweeteners', 'mono-saccharide', and 'di-saccharide' were combined to retrieve relevant articles. A total of 21 manuscripts, aligning with the objectives of the study, were selected. Papers focusing on artificial or high-intensity sweeteners were excluded to ensure relevant literature selection. Results: Multiple studies have emphasized the association between the high consumption of added sugars such as simple sugars and the increased risk of developing IBD. This is suggested to be attributed to the induction of pro-inflammatory cytokine productions and dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. Consequently, there is a growing demand for safe and functional sweeteners, in particular mono- and di-saccharides, that can serve as alternatives for IBD patients. Those functional sweeteners regulate inflammation, oxidative stress, and Intestinal barrier protection, and restore microbiome profiles in various IBD models including cells, animals, and humans. Conclusions: Understanding these mechanisms resolves the link between how sugar consumption and IBD, and highlights the beneficial effects of natural alternative sweeteners on IBD when they were administered by itself or as a replacement for simple sugar. Further, exploration of this relationship leads us to recognize the necessity of natural alternative sweeteners in dietary planning. This knowledge could potentially lead to more effective dietary strategies for individuals with IBD.

This study investigated the Sachanbalgi, which record the royal feasts given by the royal family of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea. These records are contained within the Gungjung Balgi, which recorded the types and quantity of items used in royal court ceremonies. The Eumsikbalgi is the general name for the records of food found within this document. Using these Eumsikbalgi, and in particular the Sachanbalgi, this study investigated the food eaten and bestowed by the Joseon royal family. The Sachanbalgi describes four categories or occasions of feasts: royal birthdays, childbirth, royal weddings, and funerals. These records allow us to reconstruct who the attendees were and what the table settings and food were for instances not directly indicated in oral records, books, or other documents. The food at these Sachan (feasts) was diverse, being related to the specific event, and its contents varied based on the position of the person who was receiving the food. Usually, Bab (rice) was not found at a Sachanbalgi, and only on two occasions were meals with Bab observed. Specifically, it was served with Gwaktang (seaweed soup) at a childbirth feast. There were seven kinds of soups and stews that appeared in the Sachanbalgi: Gwaktang, Yeonpo (octopus soup), Japtang (mixed food stew), Chogyetang (chilled chicken soup), Sinseonro (royal hot pot), and Yukjang (beef and soybean paste). Nureumjeok (grilled brochette) and Saengchijeok (pheasant), and Ganjeonyueo (pan-fried cow liver fillet) and Saengseonjeonyueo (pan-fried fish fillet) were eaten. Yangjeonyueo, Haejeon, Tigakjeon (pan-fried kelp) and other dishes, known and unknown, were also recorded. Boiled meat slices appeared at high frequency (40 times) in the records; likewise, 22 kinds of rice cake and traditional sweets were frequently served at feasts. Five kinds of non-alcoholic beverages were provided. Seasonal fruits and nuts, such as fresh pear or fresh chestnut, are thought to have been served following the event. In addition, a variety of dishes including salted dry fish, boiled dish, kimchi, fruit preserved in honey, seasoned vegetables, mustard seeds, fish, porridge, fillet, steamed dishes, stir-fried dishes, vegetable wraps, fruit preserved in sugar, and jellied foods were given to guests, and noodles appear 16 times in the records. Courtiers were given Banhap, Tanghap, Myeonhap, wooden bowls, or lunchboxes. The types of food provided at royal events tracked the season. In addition, considering that for feasts food of the royal household was set out for receptions of guests, cooking instructions for the food in the lunchbox-type feasts followed the cooking instructions used in the royal kitchen at the given time. Previous studies on royal cuisine have dealt mostly with the Jineosang presented to the king, but in the Sachanbalgi, the food given by the royal family to its relatives, retainers, and attendants is recorded. The study of this document is important because it extends the knowledge regarding the food of the royal families of the Joseon Dynasty. The analysis of Sachanbalgi and the results of empirical research conducted to reconstruct the precise nature of that food will improve modern knowledge of royal cuisine.

우리나라에도 심혈관질환으로 인한 사망률이 점차 증가하고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 채식과 짠맛에 대한 기호와 혈청 지질 수준 및 혈당, 혈압과의 관계를 규명하기 위한 연구의 일환으로 채식을 하는 비구니스님을 대상으로 하여 연구한 결과를 요약하면 조사대상자의 평균나이는 채식인 44.2세, 비채식인 40.5세, 채식인의 평균 채식기간은 13.2년이었으며, 채식인은 주로 매운맛, 단맛, 신맛의 순으로 비채식인은 단맛, 신맛, 매운맛의 순서로 좋아하였다. 채식 기간별로는 10년 이하인 군과 20년 이상인 군에서는 매운맛, 단맛, 신맛, 쓴맛, 짠맛, 느끼하고 기름진 맛의 순으로 좋하는 것으로 나타났으며 10～20년 사이인 군에서는 매운맛, 쓴맛, 신맛, 단맛, 짠맛, 기르지고 느끼한 맛의 순으로 좋아하는 맛이 바뀌었는데 이는 건강지식과 건강에 대한 관심도의 차이 때문인 것으로 생각된다. 조사대상자중 ‘식사시에 짜게 먹는 편이다’라고 답한 사람은 채식인 38.8%, 비채식인 52.8%로 비채식인이 짜게 먹는 것으로 나타났다. ‘보통이다.’고 한 사람이 채식인 33.9%, 비채식인 33.6%로 거의 비슷하였으며, ‘싱겁게 먹는다’고 한사람은 채식인 27.3%, 비채식인 13.6%로 채식인이 싱겁게 먹는 것으로 나타났다. 식습관 점수는 채식인은 25.1, 비채식인은 23.1로 채식인의 식습관 점수가 유의적으로 높았으며(p<0.05), 또한 채식기간별로는 채식기간이 10년 미만인 군에 비해 10년 이상인 군의 식습관 점수가 유의적으로 높게 나타났다. 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, 동맥경화지수는 두 군 모두 싱겁게 먹는다고 한 군에 비해 짜게 먹는다고 한 군에 비해 짜게 먹는다고 한 군이 유의적으로 높았다. 혈압은 두 군 모두 짠맛에 대한 기호와는 유의적인 차이를 보이지 않았으나 높아지는 경향을 보였다. 중성지방, HDL-cholesterol, 혈당은 두군 모두 짠맛에 대한 기호와 유의한 상관을 보이지 않았다. 이상의 결과에서 볼 때 본 연구와 동일인을 대상으로 한 연구 I에서 본 바와 같이 채식군은 비채식군에 비해 BMI, RBW, WHR, %BF가 유의적으로 높았음(p<0.05)에도 심혈관 질환 관련인자인 총 콜레스테롤, LDL-cholesterol, AI, 수축기 혈압 및 혈당이 비채식군에 비해 유의적으로 낮았을 뿐만 아니라 (p<0.01) 짠맛에 대한 기호는 혈중 콜레스테롤 LDL-cholesterol, AI에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 채식인은 비채식인에 비하여 식사시에 싱겁게 먹고 식습관도 좋은 것으로 나타났다. 앞으로 더 많은 연구가 이루어져야 할 것이지만 채식을 하면 심혈관 질환 위험인자의 수준을 낮추어 심혈관 질환의 예방 치료에 도움이 될 것으로 사료된다.
