Five University of Guelph discoveries are being recognized as life-changing breakthroughs by the Council of Ontario Universities (COU).

Consumers who lunch with products containing an average of 41% less salt accept these products and do not compensate for this lower salt consumption during the rest of the day. Low-sodium foods can therefore help to reduce daily salt intake. This is the result of research carried out by Wageningen UR Food & Biobased Research, TNO and the National Institute of Public Health and Environmental Protection (RIVM), commissioned by the Dutch Ministries of Economic Affairs and Health, Welfare & Sport.

For decades, saccharin was wrongly labeled as a possible cancer-causing chemical. Now, nearly 15 years after it was declared safe, University of Florida Health researchers have found that the artificial sweetener can inhibit cancer cell growth.

Scientists have developed a new, simple way to cook rice that could cut the number of calories absorbed by the body by more than half, potentially reducing obesity rates, which is especially important in countries where the food is a staple.

Kansas and U.S. dairy producers may avoid some of the billions of dollars lost to mastitis thanks to a Kansas State University technology that is detecting the early stages of the disease in dairy cows.

High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is, for many scientists, an essential chromatographic technique. HPLC systems used for the separation, identification, purification, and quantification of various chemical and biochemical solutions are composed of a pump, a sample injector, a separation column, a detection unit, and a data-processor.
