Study finds injectable birth control causes significant weight gain and changes in body mass
Women using depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), commonly known as the birth control shot, gained an average of 11 pounds and increased their body fat by 3.4 percent over three years, according to researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB). view more (2009-03-05)
Study examines calorie restriction and glycemic load
The first phase of a caloric restriction study in human subjects at the Jean Mayer US Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (USDA HNRCA) at Tufts University found evidence suggesting that calorie-restricted diets differing substantially in glycemic load can result in comparable long-term weight loss. view more (2007-04-09)
Scientists discover key factor in regulating placenta and fetal growth
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have shown that a common biological protein molecule called SHP-2 is crucial for encouraging placenta growth. view more (2009-09-21)
Guidelines urge physical activity during pregnancy
Moderate physical activity during pregnancy does not contribute to low birth weight, premature birth or miscarriage and may actually reduce the risk of complications, according to a Michigan State University professor who contributed to the U.S. government's first-ever guidelines on physical activity. view more (2008-10-09)
New study weighs benefits of exercise, diets
Those in their 50s and 60s who want to lose weight might consider heading to the cardio workout room instead of counting calories, suggests new research out this month. view more (2006-11-20)

Cutting calories could limit muscle wasting in later years
Chemical concoctions can smooth over wrinkles and hide those pesky grays, but what about the signs of aging that aren't so easy to fix, such as losing muscle mass? Cutting calories early could help, say University of Florida researchers who studied the phenomenon in rats. view more (2008-09-17)

Single molecule extends fat mice lives by reversing gene pathways associated with disease in obese
Researchers have used a single compound to increase the lifespan of obese mice, and found that the drug reversed nearly all of the changes in gene expression patterns found in mice on high calorie diets-some of which are associated with diabetes, heart disease, and other significant diseases related to obesity. view more (2006-11-02)
Low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet not associated with weight gain in postmenopausal women
In a clinical trial of over 48,000 post-menopausal women, a low-fat diet that includes increased consumption of fruits, vegetables and whole grains is not associated with weight gain over an average of 7.5 years. view more (2006-01-04)

DEMAND FOR GREATER REGULATION OF CHINESE HERBALISTS
In their study of Chinese herbal remedies obtained by patients for the treatment of dermatological conditions, Keane et al found that eight of the eleven creams tested contained a prescription only steroid (Dexamethasone) - the prescription of which by unauthorised people is illegal in the UK. Furthermore the concentration of the steroid in the... view more... (1999-02-26)
