Reference for Pineapple juice and mucus

[Guest guest]

The COPD work group currently working on evidenced based guidelines for medical

nutrition therapy did not find sufficient peer reviewed literature to address

the question " Does the acidity of juices or beverages have an effect on mucus

clearance in COPD? "

Interesting, BUT, is it the acid in P/A juice or the enzymes that lead to

the 'beleif' that P/A juice was helpful???

Just a thought. . . or the antibacterial effects of cranberry??? Or, maybe

antioxidants?

Just wondering. . . in all my LTC years, I'd never heard of it however.

I really hate to ask this, but I'm going to anyway. Is this an ADA sponsored

peer review group? Where are they working out of? The fibromyalgia part of the

title caught my attention.

I went gluten free last December and almost all of my " so-called " fibromyalgia

symptoms are now gone. I wish we could get the word out that people with this

dx. should be tested for gluten intolerance. I had to beg to get the test and

the doc. refused. Finally got a test ordered by a different doc. a couple years

later.

Where did you get fibromyalgia in the title?

The COPD work group is one of many groups using the evidence analysis process to

determine evidenced based guidelines for MNT for a variety of medical

conditions. If you login on the adawebsite as a member you click on the

research link to take to you the Evidence Analysis Library (EAL)and register for

that. On the start page there is a slide show that will walk you through the

evidence analysis process and the library. THe Evidence analysis process

ADA uses is as rigorous as that used for Cochrane. Reviews

Critical Illness, adult weight management and diabetes are finished with a

variety of other medical conditions in various phases of completion. The work

groups use conference calls for the majority of the project work. Evidence

analysts and work group leaders get intensive training on the analysis process.

Team members are recruited based on expertise in a specific condition as

practitioner or researcher and approved by ADA quality management.

Each work group defines questions (using the nutrition care process) to identify

what the practitioner most needs to know to care for this condition/population

of patients. A lit search is completed and articles are selected based on

criteria established by the team under the guidance of lead analyst. Then a

team of analysts review and summarize the research articles. The work group

experts grade the evidence summaries, write conclusion statements, and then

guidelines and tools to help the practitioner. The questions, articles,

summaries, grading etc are available on line in the library.

It's the enzymes. I just heard of this recently from the list serve. It makes

sense to me.

My friend went on an Asian tour group - japan specifically - after every meal

they were served pineapple or watermelon. She's thin and stable weight for

decades. but she did manage to drop a couple of pounds being confined to

airplanes, tour buses etc... she felt it was the watermelon/PA. She's not a big

sweeter so replacement calories didn't factor in. An shopping is her normal

activity level.
