Development of a Biodegradable Polysaccharide‐Based Polymer Film From Hibiscus sabdariffa Sepal Mucilage and Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
A biodegradable HSSM–CMC composite film was developed from Hibiscus sabdariffa sepal mucilage (HSSM, 1.25%) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC, 1%), using glycerol at different concentrations (10%–20%) as a plasticizer. The resulting films were evaluated for their mechanical, barrier, thermal, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. The developed HSSM–

Effect of time of administration on cholesterol-lowering by psyllium: a randomized cross-over study in normocholesterolemic or slightly hypercholesterolemic subjects

Nutrition Journal, 2004
Background Reports of the use of psyllium, largely in hypercholesterolemic men, have suggested that it lowers serum cholesterol as a result of the binding of bile acids in the intestinal lumen.

Management of Refractory and Difficult‐To‐Treat Inflammatory Bowel Disease: An Expert Opinion Review

JCC Plus, Volume 1, Issue 5, September 2026.
This expert opinion offers a practical framework for refractory and difficult‐to‐treat IBD: confirm inflammation objectively, distinguish pharmacologic from structural and functional disease, and then escalate. Across ten clinical questions, the evidence is often limited to case series, and the resulting statements are identified as expert opinion ...

The effect of psyllium on fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, HOMA IR, and insulin control: a GRADE-assessed systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

BMC Endocrine Disorders
There is equivocal evidence that psyllium can prevent or attenuate increases in fasting blood sugar. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis sought to investigate the influence of psyllium on hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c), fasting blood sugar (FBS),
