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...

Is ineffective esophageal motility associated with gastropharyngeal reflux disease?
IEM is associated with an increased acid clearance times in the distal esophagus. Gastropharyngeal reflux causes supraesophageal manifestations such as globus, chronic cough, hoarseness, asthma, chronic sinusitis, or other otorhinolaryngologic diseases. view more (2008-11-03)
Bacteria checkmate yeasts and moulds
Lactic acid bacteria are found in many foods, for example, yoghurt, cheese or sauerkraut. These bacteria are desirable, as they change the taste and consistency of a raw material in such a way that a completely new foodstuff is created. In the manufacture of cheese, propionic acid bacteria also play an important role. They are responsible for the... view more... (2005-04-01)
High salicylic acid content in fruits and vegetables may explain protection from heart disease among vegetarians
The high salicylic acid content of fruits and vegetables may explain why vegetarians suffer less heart disease and bowel cancer than meat-eaters, suggests research in the Journal of Clinical Pathology. Salicylic acid is the main anti-inflammatory component of aspirin, which is widely prescribed to reduce the risk of heart attacks. Research also... view more... (2001-06-26)

Link possible between pet food contamination and baby formula contamination
A study published in the November issue of a scientific journal, Toxicological Sciences, which is published by Oxford Journals on behalf of the Society of Toxicology, describes the kidney toxicity of melamine and cyanuric acid based on research that was done to characterize the toxicity of the compounds that contaminated pet food in North America... view more...

Massage after exercise myth busted by Queen's research team
A Queen's University research team has blown open the myth that massage after exercise improves circulation to the muscle and assists in the removal of lactic acid and other waste products. view more (2009-05-08)
Scientists discover why plague is so lethal
Bacteria that cause the bubonic plague may be more virulent than their close relatives because of a single genetic mutation, according to research published in the May issue of the journal Microbiology. view more (2008-05-05)
Nanoparticles carry cancer-killing drugs into tumor cells
University of Michigan scientists have created the nanotechnology equivalent of a Trojan horse to smuggle a powerful chemotherapeutic drug inside tumor cells - increasing the drug's cancer-killing activity and reducing its toxic side effects. view more (2005-06-15)
Acid-reducing medicines may lead to dependency
Treatment with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) for eight weeks induces acid-related symptoms like heartburn, acid regurgitation and dyspepsia once treatment is withdrawn in healthy individuals. view more (2009-07-01)
High-normal uric acid linked with mild cognitive impairment in the elderly
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins and Yale university medical schools have found that a simple blood test to measure uric acid, a measure of kidney function, might reveal a risk factor for cognitive problems in old age. view more (2007-01-02)
University of Oregon researcher finds that on water's surface, nitric acid is not so tough
Nitric acid is a notoriously strong and chemically destructive compound found in water on earth and in our atmosphere. However, a team of researchers have found that its punch is much weaker when it sits on the top of a water surface. view more (2007-08-21)
Cognitive impairment link found in older adults taking popular stomach acid medications
Long-term use of histamine2 receptor antagonists (H2A), one class of drugs that blocks stomach acid, may be associated with cognitive impairment in older African-American adults. view more (2007-08-06)
For fats, longer may not be better
Researchers have uncovered why some dietary fats, specifically long-chain fats, such as oleic acid (found in olive oil), are more prone to induce inflammation. view more (2009-01-09)
Root Beer May Be "Safest" Soft Drink for Teeth
Exposing teeth to soft drinks, even for a short period of time, causes dental erosion—and prolonged exposure can lead to significant enamel loss. Root beer products, however, are non-carbonated and do not contain the acids that harm teeth. view more (2007-03-21)
Antioxidant herbal extract may help prevent and treat reflux oesophagitis
A herbal extract, which contains a powerful antioxidant, may help prevent and treat the extremely common and distressing condition reflux oesophagitis, shows research in Gut. Free radical damage to the lining of the oesophagus or gullet is probably more important than contact with stomach acid in the development of the condition, the study... view more... (2001-08-14)
Vitamin B does not slow cognitive decline in Alzheimer's
A clinical trial led by Paul S. Aisen, M.D., professor of neurosciences at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, showed that high-dose vitamin B supplements did not slow the rate of cognitive decline in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer disease. view more (2008-10-15)
'Silent' nighttime acid reflux symptoms can cause poor sleep and sleep apnea
Patients with sleep complaints but no heartburn symptoms suffered episodes of nighttime acid reflux. view more (2005-10-31)
Uric acid may provide early clues to diabetic kidney disease
For patients with type 1 diabetes, increased levels of uric acid in the blood may be an early sign of diabetic kidney disease-appearing before any significant change in urine albumin level, the standard screening test, reports a study in the May 2008 issue of the Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology. view more (2008-03-19)
