Barley Blood Glucose Meta-AnalysisChronic diseases, characterized by their high prevalence and protracted course, represent a paramount challenge to global public health, necessitating effective, evidence-based preventive strategies.3Zhang X (2025)From Broad-Spectrum Health to Targeted Prevention: A Review of Functional Foods in Chronic Disease Management.
Barley Blood Glucose Meta-AnalysisThis review bridges this critical gap by systematically evaluating the scientific evidence and application potential of functional foods, with a specific focus on key bioactive compounds-β-glucan, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), dietary fiber, and catechins.3Zhang X (2025)From Broad-Spectrum Health to Targeted Prevention: A Review of Functional Foods in Chronic Disease Management.
Barley Blood Glucose Meta-AnalysisOur unique contribution lies in integrating the ancient wisdom of food-medicine homology with modern multi-omics and evidence-based research, thereby proposing a refined nutritional intervention paradigm.3Zhang X (2025)From Broad-Spectrum Health to Targeted Prevention: A Review of Functional Foods in Chronic Disease Management.
Barley Blood Glucose Meta-AnalysisWhile functional foods are widely recognized for their potential, a comprehensive synthesis elucidating their multitargeted mechanisms within a "food-medicine homology" framework and a clear trajectory from broad-spectrum health promotion to targeted intervention remains lacking.3Zhang X (2025)From Broad-Spectrum Health to Targeted Prevention: A Review of Functional Foods in Chronic Disease Management.
Barley Blood Glucose Meta-AnalysisIn weighing the evidence, the Panel considered that the human intervention studies did not consistently show a significant effect of beta-glucans from oats or barley on postprandial glucose iAUC at doses between 2 and < 4 g BG/30 g avCHO, and that dose-response data suggest a lowest effective dose above the 2 g/30 g avCHO proposed by the applicant.4EFSA Panel on Nutrition (2025)Beta-glucans from oats or barley and reduction of postprandial glycaemic responses: Modification of an authorised health claim pursuant to Article 13(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 following a request in accordance with Article 19 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006.
