Caffeine reverses memory impairment in Alzheimer's mice
Coffee drinkers may have another reason to pour that extra cup. When aged mice bred to develop symptoms of Alzheimer's disease were given caffeine - the equivalent of five cups of coffee a day - their memory impairment was reversed. view more (2009-07-06)
Probe into link between caffeine consumption and low birthweight
The Universities of Leicester and Leeds have been commissioned by the Food Standards Agency to study the possible association between maternal caffeine consumption and low birthweight. The Agency has commissioned the study to reduce uncertainties in the current risk assessment and provide a more robust basis for the Agency's advice to pregnant... view more... (2003-05-12)

Study Shows Acrylamide in Baked and Fried Foods Does Not Increase Risk of Breast Cancer in Women
Researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden and the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, USA have found no association between acrylamide intake in foods and risk of breast cancer among Swedish women. The findings appear in the March 16, 2005 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. In 2002, the... view more... (2005-03-16)
Scientists find way to clean up the drugs market
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have made a breakthrough by using supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as a reaction medium for the preparation of molecules of interest to the pharmaceutical industry. view more (2004-09-13)
Neural mapping paints a haphazard picture of odor receptors
Despite the striking aromatic differences between coffee, peppermint, and pine, a new mapping of the nose's neural circuitry suggests a haphazard patchwork where the receptors for such disparate scents are as likely as not to be neighbors. view more (2009-02-04)
'Electric' fish shed light on ways the brain directs movement
Scientists have long struggled to figure out how the brain guides the complex movement of our limbs, from the graceful leaps of ballerinas to the simple everyday act of picking up a cup of coffee. view more (2007-02-01)
Environmental lessons from tsunami as world's coastal population doubles

UT Southwestern researchers identify molecule that helps the sleep-deprived to mentally rebound
Sleep experts know that the mental clarity lost because of a few sleepless nights can often be restored with a good night's rest. Now, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a key molecular mechanism that regulates the brain's ability to mentally compensate for sleep deprivation. view more (2009-02-24)

Folic acid deficit increased risk of miscarriage in early pregnancy
Low levels of folic acid in plasma have been associated with an increased risk of miscarriage in a study published in Journal of the American Medical Association lately. On the other hand, no connection was found between high levels of folic acid and increased risk of miscarriage. In the US folic acid is added to flour to prevent pregnant women... view more...
