Researchers figure out how hearts fail
Researchers have determined how metabolic pathways differ between healthy and failing hearts. Normally, a heart derives its energy from a balance of fatty acids and carbohydrates, specifically glucose. view more (2005-07-25)
Researchers seek to make cavity-causing bacteria self-destruct
Bacteria that eat sugar and release cavity-causing acid onto teeth may soon be made dramatically more vulnerable to their own acid. Researchers have identified key genes and proteins that, if interfered with, can take away the ability of a key bacterial species to thrive as its acidic waste builds up in the mouth. view more (2008-01-03)
Food Fortification With Vitamin B12 In Addition To Folic Acid Could Reduce Risk Of Cardiovascular Disease (p 227)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET conclude that vitamin B12 in addition to folic acid should be used to fortify food to lower concentrations of the blood protein homocysteine, thereby potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Mandatory fortification of grain foods with folic acid has been in place in... view more... (2002-01-17)
Losing a bit of weight and doing some exercise slows progression of chronic liver disease
Losing weight and exercising regularly slows progression of chronic liver disease in those who are overweight, indicates a study in Gut. Being overweight is bad for the liver. And non-alcoholic fatty liver is increasingly being diagnosed in those who are overweight, diabetic, or who have insulin resistance syndrome, a precursor to diabetes.... view more... (2004-02-11)
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)
Edible coating makes fish filets longer-lasting, healthier
Consumers may be able to eat longer-lasting, potentially healthier fish fillets if research at Oregon State University makes its way to the supermarket. view more (2009-07-17)
Solution to bacterial mystery promises new drugs
A 25-year quest to identify the first biochemical step that many disease-causing bacteria use to build their membranes has led to a discovery that holds promise for effective, new antibiotics against these bacteria. view more (2006-09-01)
Powerful mold-inhibiting bacteria patented
Bacteria that produce lactic acid have been used for thousands of years to preserve food. Some lactic acid bacteria also produce several other mold-inhibiting substances and are therefore of special interest to agriculture and the foodstuffs industry. This is demonstrated in a dissertation by Jörgen Sjögren from the Swedish University of... view more... (2005-04-08)
Avoiding house dust mites and changing diet proves ineffective
New research shows avoiding house dust mite allergens from birth does not prevent the onset of asthma, eczema or atopy in high-risk children. view more (2006-06-29)
Researchers Discover Master Metabolism Regulator with Links to Obesity, Heart Disease, and Malnutrition
Two biologists at Penn State have discovered a master regulator that controls metabolic responses to a deficiency of essential amino acids in the diet. view more (2007-02-07)
Varying effects of fish consumption on atrial fibrillation
Eating fish rich in omega-3-fatty acids may have different effects on the heart's electrical function, according to a study presented today at HEART RHYTHM 2006, the Heart Rhythm Society's 27th Annual Scientific Sessions. view more (2006-05-18)
New MU Study Indicates that Exercise Prevents Fatty Liver Disease
It's easy to go to the gym on a regular basis right after a person buys the gym membership. It's also easy to skip the gym one day, then the next day and the day after that. A new University of Missouri study indicates that the negative effects of skipping exercise can occur in a short period. view more (2008-10-30)
Breastfeeding boost IQ in infants with 'helpful' genetic variant
Breastfeeding boosts infants' IQs, but only if the babies have a genetic variant that enhances their metabolism of breast milk, a Yale researcher and collaborators report today in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2007-11-06)
Eating fish cuts risk of dementia
Elderly people who eat fish or seafood at least once a week are at lower risk of developing dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, finds a study in this week's BMJ. Using data from a large ageing study, a team of French researchers set out to test whether there was a relation between consumption of fish (rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids) or... view more...

Folic Acid Supplements Not Linked To Multiple Births (p 380)
Results of a Chinese population-based study in this week's issue of THE LANCET provide strong evidence that women who take folic acid supplements during pregnancy do not have an increased likelihood of having a multiple birth. Folic acid supplements are recommended for women of childbearing age to prevent neural tube defects-such as spina bifida... view more... (2003-01-29)
Only one-third of women take vitamin to help prevent serious birth defects, survey finds
Only one-third of childbearing age women are taking a multivitamin containing the B vitamin folic acid daily to prevent serious birth defects of the brain and spine in their future babies, according to a decade of March of Dimes surveys. view more (2005-09-30)
Thale cress goes on the defensive
Thale cress has a complicated defence technique against insects and microorganisms that use the plant as a source of food. view more (2007-05-15)
Acid reflux is not just caused by lager and curry, but also our genes
Almost half the chance of developing acid reflux, which doctors refer to as GORD, may be down to our genes, and not just what we eat and drink, a twin study in Gut suggests. Acid reflux (gastro-oesophageal reflux disease) is one of the most common digestive disorders in the developed world. It is thought that up to one in five people suffers from... view more...

Existing anti-obesity drugs may be effective against flu, hepatitis and HIV
Viruses dramatically increase cellular metabolism, and existing anti-obesity drugs may represent a new way to block these metabolic changes and inhibit viral infection, according to a study published today in the journal Nature Biotechnology. view more (2008-09-29)
Apple or pear shape is not main culprit to heart woes - it's liver fat
For years, pear-shaped people who carry weight in the thighs and backside have been told they are at lower risk for high blood pressure and heart disease than apple-shaped people who carry fat in the abdomen. But new findings from nutrition researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggest body-shape comparisons don't... view more... (2008-12-05)
