Antioxidant activities of rosemary and sage oils on lipid oxidation of broiler meat have been shown. Following dietary administration of rosemary and sage oils to the live birds, a significant inhibition of lipid peroxidation was reported in chicken meat stored for 9 days (Lopez-Bote et al., 1998). A dietary supplementation of oregano essential oil (300 mg/kg) showed a positive effect on the performance of broiler chickens experimentally infected with Eimeria tenella. Throughout the experimental period of 42 days, oregano essential oil exerted an anticoccidial effect against E. tenella, which was, however, lower than that exhibited by lasalocid. Supplementation with dietary oregano oil to E. tenella–infected chickens resulted in body weight gains and FCRs not differing from the noninfected group, but higher than those of the infected control group and lower than those of chickens treated with the anticoccidial lasalocid (Giannenas et al., 2003).
Contact Urticaria Syndrome from Foods and Food Derivatives

In food allergy, reactions may be species- and organ-specific. So contact urticaria to cod does not imply a reaction to all fishes. Calf’s liver may provoke a reaction, whereas chicken liver may not. Chicken meat may provoke a reaction, whereas chicken liver may not. So it is important to test different species of food, raw and cooked, before avoiding them.

A very low number of Campylobacter organisms (fewer than 500) can cause illness in humans. Only one drop of juice from raw chicken meat can infect a person. In some cases, the infection may lead to chronic health problems like damage in joints or nerves, and in people with compromised immune systems, Campylobacter occasionally spreads to the bloodstream and causes a serious life-threatening infection.2 A special feature of some types of Campylobacter is that they grow best at temperatures above 45°C; they are referred to as thermophilic (heat loving).

Compared to eggs, chicken meat and liver have a significantly lower vitamin D content. Of livestock meat, the highest amount of vitamin D3 is reported in pork. However, the variance of values is very wide because it depends on the part of the body from which the meat is taken as well as the animal’s diet and sun exposure. Most vitamin D is in fat, where it is stored and retained for several weeks after discontinuation of vitamin D3 supplementation. Concerning beef, there is large variability in the content of vitamin D3 among studies. Despite the fact that meat is not a rich source of vitamin D3 compared to fish, its consumption contributes significantly to the total daily intake of this vitamin due to the relatively large amount consumed [44,53–55,66].

This systematic review and meta-analysis provides an important update of earlier reviews [14,15] following the inclusion of three larger sampled studies which were published recently [11,17,18]. This increased the pooled sample to 794 subjects, which is more than double the 363 subjects in the earlier reviews. Additional studies also conducted a wider range of neuropsychological tests, which more extensively assessed various cognitive domains and provided a higher quality of evidence. Moreover, current meta-analysis implemented a stricter selection criteria, which saw the omission Nagai et al. [37] and Azhar et al. [10]. These two studies were included in previous reviews but were excluded in ours because they lacked a clear randomization process and did not intervene with liquid EC respectively. Furthermore, in the study using non-liquid EC, a different extraction process involving the hydrolysis of chicken meat was reported. This preparation method was not comparable with methods reported in all the other included primary studies [10].
Diet Therapy for Cancer Prevention and Treatment Based on Traditional Persian Medicine
Published in Nutrition and Cancer, 2018
There are some controversies among TPM anticancer diet and modern beliefs based on epidemiological studies. For instance, while the consumption of red meat (lamb and kid), lamb head and leg soup and chicken meat are recommended, the intake of beef and veal especially processed or salt-cured meat is ruled out due to their carcinogenic nature. A number of studies demonstrated the association between heme iron consumption and cancer risk including adenocarcinoma of the esophagus and stomach and colorectal cancer (192,193). It is evidenced that young animals and chicken meat, the intake of which is suggested by TPM, contain lower levels of heme iron (194,195). According to TPM, the excessive level of a substance called “black bile” in the body is the most important cause of cancer. Interestingly, black bile is considered to be equivalent to the hemoglobin part of the blood. Therefore, it seems that the intake of meats containing higher levels of heme iron is discouraged by TPM. Moreover, excessive consumption of some vegetables and foodstuffs such as eggplant (Solanum melongena), dates (Phoenix dactylifera), and lentils (Lens esculenta) are also considered to be carcinogenic in TPM. On the other hand, intake of cuisines containing zucchinis, almonds, purslane, and black grams as major ingredient is highly emphasized in cancer patients. However, there is little pharmacological and epidemiological evidence supporting the anticancer effects of these plants.
