...Going “gluten-free” is a very popular mantra lately. No differently than dietary fads of the past, the phrase “gluten free” commonly appears in health magazines, cooking shows and on the shelves in our supermarkets. However, the difference between the present gluten free dietary craze and the fad diets of the past is that losing weight is not the end goal, instead, preventing and warding off disease and illness is. Perhaps for this reason going gluten free has gained global popularity and unparalleled support from the medical community. There are a number of unhealthy side effects that come from consuming gluten that most of us consume in the form of wheat. While research on the issue is still inconclusive we know there is something in the wheat plant that is making many of us sick. This research paper was created to examine how gluten and the wheat grain are affecting humans, the potential causes of the sudden manifestation of gluten related disorders, and what, if anything, can be done to prevent gluten related ailments. By way of background, gluten is the main structural protein found in wheat and other grains such as rye, barley, and oats. Wheat is the most commonly consumed gluten containing grain as it makes up approximately seventy-five percent (75%) of all calories consumed from carbohydrates in the American diet. The gluten proteins found in wheat is what gives dough its elasticity and the ability to rise when combined with yeast. Traditional breads, baked goods, pasta...

...Product, Pricing and Channels Esan Williams, Mark Jernigan, Ann Groose, Maria Fonseca, Brent Beley, Ariana Zamarripa, Bernita Miller and Tammy Housie MKT/421 June 9, 2014 Thomas O’Brien Product, Pricing and Channels In this paper, team C will discuss a gluten-free menu item at Subway and how it solves the current need in the target market. It will include strategies on how to attract the target market through correct appeal, quality, and pricing. Pricing is very important because it is something that determines how much your product is worth. There are two well-known pricing strategies, penetration and skimming. Also, important is the product lifecycle, how long will it stay on the current subway menu? In terms of packaging for the new item, will it be different? Or will it use the current packaging that is offered at the restaurant? Another topic discussed in the paper will be the channels of distribution for the new gluten-free product. Detailed Description of Subway Gluten-Free Menu Item Subway has opened more than 22,000 global locations, in the United States Subway is the largest fast-food chain and its franchises can be found worldwide in 77 countries. It became famous as the healthy choice in fast foods through the story of Jared Fogle, a Indiana University College student who claimed to have dropped 245 pounds from eating Subway sandwiches with six grams of fat or less, low-fat chips, and diet drinks.

...Celiac Disease: What? Who? How? Celiac Disease: What? Who? How? Life changing, life long, no cure! This paper is to give knowledge and inform readers on what Celiac Disease is, who it effects, what it affects, and try to explain how it can interrupt a normal, life style to where most of us take for granted. Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you found out you could not eat normal everyday foods that most of us take for granted? What if one day you woke up and found out you could not eat something as simple and as popular as pizza? That you could not eat bread, cake, cookies, lasagna, spaghetti, or even drink beer? That every time you did, you would get sick. Well, for a growing percentage of Americans, that is what is becoming a reality. What is it? How do you get it? What does it do to you? Who can get it? These are just some of the questions I will be answering in this paper. What is Celiac Disease? Well that’s a very good question. Celiac Disease or Gluten-Sensitive Enteropathy is a disease of the intestinal tract. It is a chronic tropical disease of intestinal malabsorption or in simple terms, an allergy to wheat products such as wheat, rye, barley, and oats (Reilly 116). Celiac Disease is a lifelong disease that can only be controlled by understanding CD and following a lifelong diet which excludes wheat, barley, and rye. Celiac Disease is a multisystem disorder that causes the body’s immune system to respond to proteins in certain grains which damage...

...Gluten Free Eating Is Not a Fad – Position Paper Celiac disease (CD) and Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) is on the rise. Although general consensus states that the diseases’ incidence varies greatly, research conducted in the last 30-40 years contradicts those claims. Yes, the proliferation can be partially credited to increased efficiency in diagnostic techniques and the “mainstream” status of the diseases, but the spread of affliction in not only the US and Europe, but to geographic areas not historically affected by CD and NCGS, is equally enigmatic. A 2010 cohort study, with data collected since 1974, illustrated that CD increased 5-fold from 0.2% in 1975 to 1% 25 years later (1). A study in Scotland has marked a 6.4-fold increase...

...Final Paper: Autism in Children: Conceptualizing the Complexities Genesis Cuesta The Chicago School of Professional Psychology December 13, 2012 Autism is a disorder that is becoming more and more common in our everyday society, despite a lack of everyday knowledge on this multifaceted disorder. Children are diagnosed with a range of autism disorders, fearing the consequences that come with it. In a short amount of time, the fields of medicine and psychology have advanced tremendously in their knowledge of this disorder and how it affects the development of children. In this paper, we will explore aspects of autism, from the different causes offered by researchers, common symptoms, and the latest treatments to combat this complex disorder. Overview Autism is not one disorder, but rather a group of developmental brain disorders, collectively referred to as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) (2011) the term “spectrum” refers to the wide range of symptoms, skills, and levels of impairment, or disability that children with ASD can have. As indicated by Johnson and Myers, Leo Kanner, a psychiatrist at Johns Hopkins University first described autism in a small group of children in 1943 (as cited in Kanner, 1943). Kanner documented that they showed extreme aloofness and total indifference to other people. In 1944, Hans Asperger, an Austrian pediatrician published an...

...The difference between three similar products can seem more noticeable when the items themselves are being presented in front of the human eyes. For instance, take a blindfold and put it over the eyes of any individual and ask them if the differences of the items stand out as well as they do without the blindfold on. For this project I decided to try to find not only the differences of taste, but also smell, touch and quality. When purchasing the three different brands of gluten- free chocolate cupcakes consisting of similar ingredients, yet still divergent, created a challenge being the brands I looked for did not contain gluten free ingredients. The brands chosen were Pillsbury, Betty Crocker and Simple Mills. Biases are not to be made for...

...| | Luis Adriatico October 22, 2013 Defining Marketing Paper Marketing/421 Instructor Roberto Cordero The importance of marketing research for Kudler’s marketing strategy Marketing research is essential in the marketing strategy and operation of Kudler's business. Setting competitive price on products allows Kudler to an advantage in the business. An edge in the business competition is having specialty items and that is a key component in the marketing strategy. In addition, Kudler needs to study what is the newest trend in the market. In the service section, it is important to know which product is getting popular. As an example, the gluten-free products gaining more popularity, Kudler needs to sell these items to have a market share and need to target the right group of people. A system to organize and store the analyzed data is needed in every organization. Kudler has provided statistical data from frequent purchase program. The information provided was helpful in identifying products that were frequently purchased by customers. Identification of items that are not popular to the consumers should be reviewed, as pricing strategy may not be the right one. Variation of marketing strategies should be adapted by organization as products, the market, and consumers differ from time to time and are very important to get feedback from each segment. There are numerous ways of getting data. "Descriptive research generally involves trying to find the frequency that something...

...Autism When becoming a mother, our ideal expectations and hopes of the baby that we bring into this world are “normal” children with possible aspirations of them becoming the next President or Einstein, not the endless hell that children of autism live in. Unfortunately, children with autism live in their “own world.” Autism is a silent, invisible epidemic that is stealing children and their futures from the world while mothers watch in fear, helpless, with no way to do battle, because it evades all reasoning (Rink, 2010). Autism has no cure and does limit children in certain realms of life but it is treatable. When prompting early treatment, this will allow some kind of normalcy for the children and the parents. In 1943 Leo Kanner described those with autism as being unable to relate to themselves or others, with the term autism derived from the root auto for self. Since then, autism had been defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, as a pervasive developmental disorder having three classic behavioral features for its diagnosis: "the presence of markedly abnormal or impaired development in social interaction and communication and a markedly restricted repertoire of activity and interests" (Snell, 2003). Autism is a prevalent developmental disorder that appears usually before the age of three. Autism affects approximately 1 in every 110 children and approximately 1 out of every 70 boys. Autism affects a person’s ability to...

...supplies and mixed in US factories which makes us independent from foreign oil need. The ethanol making process is one of the many positive factors to creating a cleaner environment. Ethanol is a clear alcohol that is fermented from the starches created from common crops such as corn. There are two different processes to fermenting the ethanol, dry milling and wet milling. During dry milling, the grain is mixed with water, and then enzymes are added to convert the starch to dextrose. The fermentation process then creates ethanol, carbon dioxide, water, and solids. In the wet milling process the grain is broken down using water and diluted sulfuric acid and then processed to yield germ, fiber, gluten, and starch. The starch is then fermented the same way as in the dry milling process, and the gluten meal is used for stock feed. The ethanol is then mixed with gasoline when it is delivered to the gas station in tanks...

...Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico Policlinico S. Matteo, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL) is a complication of celiac disease (CD). This tumor derives from the neoplastic transformation of aberrant intraepithelial T lymphocytes emerging in celiac patients unresponsive to a gluten-free diet. Poor adherence to a gluten-free diet, HLA-DQ2 homozygosity, and late diagnosis of CD are recognized as risk factors for malignant evolution of CD. Recurrence of diarrhea, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain, fever, and night sweating should alert physicians to this complication. The suspicion of EATL should lead to an extensive diagnostic workup in which magnetic resonance enteroclysis, positron emission tomography scan, and histologic identification of lesions represent the best options. Treatment includes high-dose chemotherapy preceded by surgical resection and followed by autologous stem cell transplantation, although biologic therapies seem to be promising. Strict adherence to a gluten-free diet remains the only way to prevent EATL. (Blood. 2012;119(11): 2458-2468) Introduction Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic gluten-sensitive enteropathy characterized by a high prevalence in the general population and an increased mortality.1,2 It is well known that the increased mortality is mainly the result of the complications of CD itself, represented by refractory CD (RCD) and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma (EATL).2 RCD is a form of CD...

...quality meal with fast food convenience. Strategy and Positioning It has been identified that there is not a fast food option for consumers focused on health and fitness. The existing fast food options have attempted to offer a healthy alternative to their traditional menu; however, it appears that those few items are not the primary focus of the restaurant and this is reflected in their quality. In order to meet the needs of the consumer we will be launching Fit Burger. Fit Burger is a fast food restaurant with a primary focus on health and nutrition. The food choices will still include tasty options that cater to those consumers who do not consider themselves health focused. Menu The menu of Fit Burger will include selections for gluten free, diabetic, vegetarian, low fat, and organic focused consumers. By focusing on these categories we will be able to offer options for a wide variety of consumers. For example, the options of a burger could include a lean organic beef that creates a better quality burger for all consumers even those that may not consider themselves health focused but perhaps are more high quality focused. There will also be menu choices that are non-beef such as a turkey burger,...
