Are certain congenital birth defects and heart disease linked?
The study implicates homocysteine, a chemical by-product of human metabolism. Homocysteine is particularly important for cell growth and is regulated by enzymes, the activities of which are partly genetically determined, and partly affected by diet, including the levels of vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid in the blood. view more (1999-11-15)
Scientists discover why plague is so lethal
Bacteria that cause the bubonic plague may be more virulent than their close relatives because of a single genetic mutation, according to research published in the May issue of the journal Microbiology. view more (2008-05-05)
High doses of folic acid may help to prevent stomach cancer
High doses of folic acid may help to prevent digestive tract cancers, suggests animal research reported in Gut. view more (2001-12-17)
A safe folic acid boost from flour
Public consumption of folic acid from fortified flour at current mandated US levels (100micro-gram/day) and at double this amount is probably safe, at average intakes, according to an article published today in the open access journal BMC Public Health. view more (2007-03-22)
Acid-reducing medicines may lead to dependency
Treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for eight weeks induces acid-related symptoms like heartburn, acid regurgitation and dyspepsia once treatment is withdrawn in healthy individuals. view more (2009-07-01)
Scientists question folic acid fortification
Scientists at the Institute of Food Research have highlighted possible consequences of fortifying flour with folic acid due to new evidence of how it is absorbed by the body. view more (2007-11-05)
Food Supplementation With Folic Acid Could Substantially Reduce Neural-Tube Defects (p 2047)
A public-health initiative to enrich cereal grain foods in Canada with folic acid has halved the prevalence of neural-tube defects among both unborn and newborn children, report authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Folic acid tablet supplementation around the time of conception is known to dramatically reduce the risk... view more... (2002-12-18)
Folic acid to prevent congenital heart defects
The Canadian policy of fortifying grain products with folic acid has already proved to be effective in preventing neural tube defects. view more (2009-05-15)
High-normal uric acid linked with mild cognitive impairment in the elderly
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins and Yale university medical schools have found that a simple blood test to measure uric acid, a measure of kidney function, might reveal a risk factor for cognitive problems in old age. view more (2007-01-02)
Immigrant women may be at higher risk of having a baby with a birth defect
Immigrant women are less likely to use folic acid supplements before pregnancy to prevent spina bifida, particularly those who recently immigrated to the country, according to a new study led by a St. Michael's Hospital physician in collaboration with Statistics Canada, Health Canada and the University of Toronto. view more (2009-04-17)
University of Oregon researcher finds that on water's surface, nitric acid is not so tough
Nitric acid is a notoriously strong and chemically destructive compound found in water on earth and in our atmosphere. However, a team of researchers have found that its punch is much weaker when it sits on the top of a water surface. view more (2007-08-21)
Cognitive impairment link found in older adults taking popular stomach acid medications
Long-term use of histamine2 receptor antagonists (H2A), one class of drugs that blocks stomach acid, may be associated with cognitive impairment in older African-American adults. view more (2007-08-06)
For fats, longer may not be better
Researchers have uncovered why some dietary fats, specifically long-chain fats, such as oleic acid (found in olive oil), are more prone to induce inflammation. view more (2009-01-09)
Root Beer May Be "Safest" Soft Drink for Teeth
Exposing teeth to soft drinks, even for a short period of time, causes dental erosion—and prolonged exposure can lead to significant enamel loss. Root beer products, however, are non-carbonated and do not contain the acids that harm teeth. view more (2007-03-21)
Antioxidant herbal extract may help prevent and treat reflux oesophagitis
A herbal extract, which contains a powerful antioxidant, may help prevent and treat the extremely common and distressing condition reflux oesophagitis, shows research in Gut. Free radical damage to the lining of the oesophagus or gullet is probably more important than contact with stomach acid in the development of the condition, the study... view more... (2001-08-14)
'Silent' nighttime acid reflux symptoms can cause poor sleep and sleep apnea
Patients with sleep complaints but no heartburn symptoms suffered episodes of nighttime acid reflux. view more (2005-10-31)
Uric acid may provide early clues to diabetic kidney disease
For patients with type 1 diabetes, increased levels of uric acid in the blood may be an early sign of diabetic kidney disease-appearing before any significant change in urine albumin level, the standard screening test, reports a study in the May 2008 issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. view more (2008-03-19)
Improving China's acid rain control strategy
Scientists are reporting the first evidence that China's sharp focus on reducing widespread damage to soil by acid rain by restricting sulfur dioxide air pollution may have an unexpected consequence: Gains from that pollution control program will be largely offset by increases in nitrogen emissions, which the country's current policy largely... view more...

Fox Chase Researchers Give Mutants Another Chance
Researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center have demonstrated that it might be possible to treat genetic diseases, including some forms of cancer, by "rescuing" the misshapen, useless proteins produced by some mutant genes. view more (2009-02-12)
