DIETARY TRANS FATTY ACID INTAKE LINKED TO CORONARY HEART DISEASE (pp 732, 747)
A high intake of trans fatty acids contributes to the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), conclude authors of a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Trans fatty acids are mainly present in solid fats produced by part hydrogenation of oils, and are naturally found in products originating from ruminant animals. Current trans fatty acid... view more... (2001-03-07)

Testing your reflexes until you've had enough
Can't squeeze in another mouthful? Feeling full is all a question of reflexes, according to Leeds biomedical researcher Dr David Lewis. He hopes to open the way for new therapies to treat obesity, by looking at how, why and when our brain tells our stomach it's had enough. The basic reflexes controlling eating are centred in the hindbrain - the... view more... (2002-05-20)
Metabolic syndrome heightens risk for development of uric-acid kidney stones
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that patients suffering from the metabolic syndrome - a cluster of conditions that increases the risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes - also have a propensity to develop highly acidic urine, which increases the risk of developing kidney stones. view more (2007-09-13)
