High intake of dietary fiber not associated with reduced risk of colorectal cancer
In an analysis combining data from 13 studies, high intake of dietary fiber was not associated with reduced risk of colorectal cancer. view more (2005-12-14)
Diabetics on high-fiber diets might need extra calcium, report UT Southwestern researchers
The amount of calcium your body absorbs might depend, in part, on the amount of dietary fiber you consume. view more (2009-03-24)
Eating eggs may protect against breast cancer
Women who used to eat more eggs during their high school years may be less likely to develop breast cancer. New research from Harvard, published in Breast Cancer Research, found that higher levels of egg consumption during adolescence are associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer. Eating dietary fiber and vegetable fat was also attributed... view more... (2003-02-21)
Reducing sugar and increasing fiber intake may improve diabetes risk factors in Latino teens
Reducing sugar intake by the equivalent of one can of soda per day and increasing fiber intake by the amount equivalent to one half cup of beans per day appears to improve risk factors associated with type 2 diabetes in Latino adolescents. view more (2009-04-07)
Regular family meals result in better eating habits for adolescents
Good eating habits can result when families eat together. In the March/April 2009 issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, researchers from the School of Public Health, University of Minnesota report on one of the first studies to examine the long-term benefits of regular family meals for diet quality during the transition from... view more...

Low-fat diet does not reduce risk of colorectal cancer
In an article in the February 8 JAMA, Shirley A. A. Beresford, Ph.D., of the University of Washington, Seattle, and colleagues with the Women's Health Initiative (a study which included nearly 50,000 women) analyzed data from the WHI Dietary Modification Trial to determine the effect of a low-fat eating pattern on risk of colorectal cancer in... view more...

Carbon fiber--new muscle for old bridges
Forget the concept of "supporting wall." With the aid of carbon fiber it is now possible to reinforce concrete, making a concrete bridge, for example, considerably stronger. The method has been used to reinforce the much discussed trolley-car bridges in Stockholm, Sweden as well as many buildings and construction projects all around the... view more... (2003-06-16)
Review identifies dietary factors associated with heart disease risk
A review of previously published studies suggests that vegetable and nut intake and a Mediterranean dietary pattern appear to be associated with a lower risk for heart disease. view more (2009-04-14)
Supercontinuum generation and soliton dynamics milestone achieved
A research team led by Fetah Benabid, University of Bath, has observed for the first time the simultaneous emission of two resonant dispersive waves by optical solitons (waves that maintain their shape while traveling at constant speeds). view more (2008-11-21)
High-glycemic index carbohydrates associated with risk for developing type 2 diabetes in women
Eating foods high on the glycemic index, which measures the effect of carbohydrates on blood glucose levels, may be associated with the risk for developing type 2 diabetes in Chinese women and in African-American women. view more (2007-11-27)
Single-Crystal Semiconductor Wire Built into an Optical Fiber
An international science team from Penn State University in the United States and the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom has developed a process for growing a single-crystal semiconductor inside the tunnel of a hollow optical fiber. The device adds new electronic capabilities to optical fibers, whose performance in electronic devices... view more... (2008-03-13)
Picky eating potentially perilous for bats
Working in the Department of Ecology and Organismal Biology, Justin Boyles and Jonathan Storm examined the possibility of a link between dietary specialization and the risk of extinction for bats in Australia, Europe and North America. view more (2007-07-25)
Silicon optical fiber made practical
Scientists at Clemson University for the first time have been able to make a practical optical fiber with a silicon core, according to a new paper published in the current issue of the Optical Society's open-access journal, Optics Express. view more (2008-10-28)
Study shows how disruption of spectrin-actin network causes lens cells in the eye to lose shape
A network of proteins underlying the plasma membrane keeps epithelial cells in shape and maintains their orderly hexagonal packing in the mouse lens, say Nowak et al. view more (2009-09-14)
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)
New tool tracks brain development in babies
Researchers have used a new technique to monitor brain development in infants and detect disturbances in white matter, according to a study in the July issue of Radiology. view more (2006-06-27)
New imaging technique could promote early detection of multiple sclerosis
Researchers from Purdue University have studied and recorded how myelin degrades real-time in live mice using a new imaging technique. Myelin is the fatty sheath coating the axons, or nerve cells, that insulate and aid in efficient nerve fiber conduction. In diseases such as multiple sclerosis, the myelin sheath has been found to degrade. view more (2007-06-28)
Dietary fat not linked to risk of stroke
Unlike heart disease, dietary fat does not seem to be associated with risk of stroke, finds a study in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-10-01)
Most with high blood pressure do not follow recommended diet
A relatively small proportion of individuals with hypertension (high blood pressure) eat diets that align with government guidelines for controlling the disease, according to a report in the February 11 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-02-12)
Exceeding '5/day' guide for veggie, fruit intake doesn't reduce chance of breast cancer recurrence
Eating double the amount of veggies and fruits recommended by general dietary guidelines doesn't reduce the likelihood of breast cancer recurrence among women whose cancers were treated at an early stage of the disease, says a researcher at the Stanford University School of Medicine. view more (2007-07-18)
