Kaiser Permanente study finds keeping a food diary doubles diet weight loss
Keeping a food diary can double a person's weight loss according to a study from Kaiser Permanente's Center for Health Research. (2008-07-08)
Topical oral syrup prevents early childhood caries
Dental researchers at the University of Washington have reported a significant reduction of tooth decay in toddlers who were treated with the topical syrup xylitol, a naturally occurring non-cavity-causing sweetener. (2008-07-07)
Weekends slow weight loss, researchers find
Saturday can be the worst enemy for our waistlines, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. (2008-07-02)
Evolution of fruit size in tomato
Domesticated tomatoes can be up to 1000 times larger than their wild relatives. How did they get so big? In general, domesticated food plants have larger fruits, heads of grain, tubers, etc, because this is one of the characteristics that early hunter-gatherers chose when foraging for food. (2008-06-30)
Food Scientists Confirm the Effectiveness of Commercial Product in Killing Bacteria in Vegetable Washwater
Research conducted by food science faculty at the University of Idaho and Washington State University indicate that a commercially available fruit and vegetable wash, when used in a food-manufacturing setting, can dramatically decrease the number of disease-causing organisms in produce-processing washwater. (2008-06-26)
Ancient Mexican maize varieties

Feeding and fueling the future: the bioenergy potential of reviving abandoned agricultural land
Across the globe, hundreds of millions of acres of once-productive agricultural land lie abandoned, according to a new report from researchers at Stanford University and the Carnegie Institution for Science. If this land was used to grow crops for conversion into biofuel, it could help ease the energy crunch without worsening the world food shortage or contributing to global warming. (2008-06-25)
1 step closer to green chemistry and improved pharmaceuticals
Proteins are the workhorses of our cells. They help to digest our food, are at the core of our immune system, and literally shape our body from top to toe. (2008-06-25)
Abandoned farmlands are key to sustainable bioenergy
Biofuels can be a sustainable part of the world's energy future, especially if bioenergy agriculture is developed on currently abandoned or degraded agricultural lands, report scientists from the Carnegie Institution and Stanford University. (2008-06-24)
