French Fries, Sleep Supplements, and Happiness: The Week in Well+Being
In the latest Well+Being round-up from The Washington Post, scientific insights highlight surprising connections between diet, sleep aids, and emotional well-being. As more consumers turn to dietary supplements and seek healthier lifestyle choices, rigorous laboratory testing becomes essential to ensure product safety, compliance, and efficacy.
The French Fry Paradox: Indulgence Meets Microbiology
French fries, often dismissed as merely indulgent junk food, have recently been featured in studies linking fried food consumption with mood and happiness indicators. While pleasurable to eat, the quality, frying methods, and oil used can introduce safety concerns such as degraded fats or microbial contaminants if not properly controlled.
This underscores the value of ISO 17025 accredited testing laboratories like Qalitex in Irvine, California. Their microbiology testing services validate the safety of food powders and fried products by detecting microbial load to ensure consumer safety and regulatory compliance.
Sleep Supplements: Testing Beyond the Label
With sleep supplements gaining popularity, ensuring their heavy metal safety and ingredient authenticity is critical. Consumers depend on truthful labeling and contaminant-free formulations to improve sleep without secondary health risks.
Qalitex offers comprehensive heavy metal analysis for supplements and Certificate of Analysis (CoA) testing that help manufacturers demonstrate safety and comply with FDA compliant product testing standards. Their lab’s method development and validation services ensure supplement formulations meet strict USP AOAC validated methods.
Happiness and Well-Being: The Science of Stability and Safety
