The Use of Low-Calorie Sweeteners by Adults: Impact on Weight Management
Journal of Nutrition, 2012
The aim of this review is to gain clarity on the role of LCS in weight management and their impact on diet quality. In addition, because the majority of studies aimed at identifying associations between low-calorie sweeteners (LCS) and these outcomes are based on observational data, the pitfalls in designing and evaluating data from observational studies are also discussed.

The Tricks Learnt by Human Enteric Pathogens From Phytopathogens to Persist within the Plant Environment
Current Opinions in Biotechnology, 2010
Through recent advances in our understanding of microbial/plant interactions it is becoming apparent that human pathogens, principally, Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella are adapted to survive in the plant environment. The aforementioned pathogens have surface epitopes that can bind to plant structures such as stomata to aid attachment. This work was published in Current Opinions in Biotechnology (2010;21:131-136).
