From the kitchen to the medicine cabinet: Examples of food products and supplements used for therapeutic intent
Bibliographic record
Abstract
"Food as medicine" has existed for centuries as the foundation of health for many cultures around the globe. It is a practice built on the knowledge that food and diet play important roles in disease prevention and management. Foods that claim to have therapeutic properties are often referred to as functional foods. These foods contain a number of nutritional and nonnutritional compounds that can interact with pharmacologically relevant receptors, either directly or indirectly via their metabolites, to regulate cellular biochemical processes. Although opinions are changing, the concept of food as a therapeutic intervention goes against conventional Western medicine. To provide guidance to clinicians interested in using these products, members of the Food as Medicine working group of the Nutrition Committee NASPGHAN, as part of a two-part review series, have created summaries of several frequently used nutritional products for therapeutic intent (i.e., fermented foods, fiber, and long-chain omega-3 fatty acids) that includes indications, doses, and caveats. Gaps in their use in pediatric patients are discussed. Evidence supporting their use for management of gastrointestinal conditions, especially in the pediatric population, is provided when available.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
