Did You Know? Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune disorder. If an immediate family member has celiac disease, then the risk is 1 in 10 that you will have it, too. Learn more about celiac disease at celiac.org.

When people with celiac disease eat gluten (a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley), their body mounts an immune response that attacks the small intestine. These attacks lead to damage of the villi, small fingerlike projections that line the small intestine, that promote nutrient absorption. When the villi get damaged, nutrients cannot be absorbed properly into the body.

Myth: ❌ Eating 🍅tomato seeds cause kidney stones

Fact: ✅ Tomatoes 🍅are superfood. Eating tomato or tomato seeds are not associated with kidney stone. This concept became widespread as tomatoes are said to be high in potassium content and thus tomato skin and tomato seeds too became the culprit (while the potassium content in tomato is 243 mg only per 100 g, while that of Sun dried tomatoes have 3427 mg potassium).

The truth is that tomato, tomato skin and tomato seeds, none of the three cause formation of kidney stone. In fact intake of fluid like coconut water, tomato juice helps in prevention of kidney stone (provided water intake is regulated as per the advice to doctor and the dietician). Tomatoes have only 5 mg of oxalates per 100 g which is too less to contribute in the formation of kidney stone. Studies show that cooking foods, which have oxalates, makes it less bioavailable to the body.

Kidney stones are not formed overnight, or in months, it may take years for a precipitate to accumulate and form a stone that is visiblevisible.

Epidemiological studies suggest that tomatoes have high anti-oxidant content. The removal of these tomato seed, skin fractions during home cooking results in potential loss of the health benefits. Removal of seeds and skin significantly decrease the anti-oxidant activity of tomato. Tomatoes have been proven to reduce the risk of stone formation. The trick is to eat and drink calcium and oxalate-rich foods together during a meal. In doing so, oxalate and calcium are more likely to bind to one another in the stomach and intestines before the kidneys begin processing, making it less likely that kidney stones will form.

So the precautions to be taken are:

🍅Avoid taking tomatoes in excess. The tomatoes used in seasoning a dal or a vegetable, in soup are good enough to take care of the daily requirements.

🍅Drink at least 2-3 lts of water/fluids every day (remember this is a general statement and need to be modified as per individual case based on reports).

🍅At least half of the fluids should be water and the rest can be coconut water, tomato juice, tea, milk, soups etc.

🍅The fluids should be consumed in small amounts throughout the day to dilute the urine.

Alkaline and Ionized water have been one of the recent trends becoming popular among the health and fitness enthusiast today. Being promoted by celebrities and social media influencers, we have many people asking us if they should use it for weight loss and to build immunity, hence we at CANQC decided to state the facts.

Most drinking water has a pH of 7, which is considered neutral on the pH scale. Alkaline water is more basic, typically ranging from 8 to 10 on the pH scale and contains alkaline minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

Alkaline water is either natural or manufactured. Spring water that passes over rocks and picks up particles of alkaline minerals creates naturally alkaline water. However, most people who drink alkaline water receive the manufactured version.

Ionized water contains minerals having an electrical charge.

Alkaline and Ionised water claim to cure acidity and has a higher antioxidant potential; however, we need more evidence to substantiate these claims.

It is important to know that our body is designed perfectly to take care of itself and we do not need any expensive, external gadgets or foods to regulate the body functions. Stomach acid helps regulate the pH of substances that enter the body, preventing highly basic or highly acidic substances from affecting the body. Excessive alkaline water intake can temporarily reduce natural stomach acidity and hinder micronutrient absorption. Widespread problems can result, including disease and gastrointestinal distress. In extreme cases, excessive alkalinity may cause metabolic alkalosis, which can cause symptoms including nausea, vomiting, tremors, numbness and confusion.

Alkaline water is expensive compared to most drinking water. Home ionizers are also expensive, making it a cost-inefficient option for most people. A qualified dietitian will always advice you to eat economical, easily available real foods grown on plants providing all the nutrients and antioxidants along with plain boiled potable water rather than going in for expensive foods and beverages manufactured in plants.
