Large study shows low-fat diet has little effect on reducing risk of breast cancer
A major study that includes nearly 50,000 women followed over 8 years indicates that a diet low in fat, but high in fruit, vegetables and grains, does not significantly reduce the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women   view more (2006-02-08)

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... view more (2006-02-08)

Well-fed robins could be lonely at Christmas
The North Wind doth blow, And we shall have snow, And what will poor robin do then, Poor thing?   (Anon) He may starve or freeze to death if he has not managed to find enough food before the snow falls.

Thigh length of babies in the womb linked to later childhood health
The thigh length of babies in the womb is as strong an indicator of subsequent childhood - and potentially adult - blood pressure as birthweight, suggests a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Researchers scanned 707 developing fetuses to measure the dimensions of their... view more (2002-08-12)

New research suggests diabetes transmitted from parents to children
A new study in the September issue of the Journal of Lipid Research suggests an unusual form of inheritance may have a role in the rising rate of diabetes, especially in children and young adults, in the United States.   view more (2008-08-21)

Worker ants store fat to share with colony members during times of need
In a fascinating new study from the September/October 2006 issue of Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, Daniel A. Hahn (University of Florida) explores the ability of ants to store excess fat and pass it to colony members through lipid-rich oral secretions or unfertilized eggs.   view more (2006-07-27)

Plastic surgeons identify hidden facial cheek fat compartments that are key to youthful appearance
Rejuvenating newly identified fat compartments in the facial cheeks can help reduce the hollowed look of the face as it ages, according to new research by plastic surgeons at UT Southwestern Medical Center.   view more (2008-06-25)

Macadamia nuts can be included in heart healthy diet
Macadamia nuts included in a heart healthy diet reduced low-density cholesterol (bad cholesterol) and should be included among nuts with qualified health claims, according to researchers.   view more (2008-04-14)

Making 'good' fat from muscle and vice versa
A surprise discovery -- that calorie-burning brown fat can be produced experimentally from muscle precursor cells in mice -- raises the prospect of new ways to fight obesity and overweight, say scientists from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.   view more (2008-08-21)

Monell researchers find metabolic defect in liver that can lead to obesity
Researchers at the Monell Chemical Senses Center have identified a genetically-transmitted metabolic defect that can lead to obesity in some individuals.   view more (2007-07-25)

Joslin study identifies protein that produces 'good' fat
A study by researchers at the Joslin Diabetes Center has shown that a protein known for its role in inducing bone growth can also help promote the development of brown fat, a "good" fat that helps in the expenditure of energy and plays a role in fighting obesity.   view more (2008-08-21)

Insects and mammals share common fat-building pathway, study suggests
When it comes to gaining fat, insects and mammals may have something in common, researchers report in the Jan. 11, 2006, Cell Metabolism.   view more (2006-01-11)

New study supports major change in diet treatment for diabetes
A low-fat vegan diet treats type 2 diabetes more effectively than a standard diabetes diet and may be more effective than single-agent therapy with oral diabetes drugs.   view more (2006-08-08)

Vitamin C depletion correlates with lower body fat, not weight loss during short-term diet

A high fat, low carbohydrate diet improves Alzheimer's disease in mice
Mice with the mouse model of Alzheimer's disease show improvements in their condition when treated with a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet.   view more (2005-10-17)

Mind over matter: SH2B1 in the brain regulates obesity
Obesity is one of the main risk factors for developing type II diabetes. Previous studies have shown that mice lacking a protein known as SH2B1 throughout their body are obese and develop diabetes.   view more (2007-01-19)

Healthy blood vessels may prevent fat growth
The cells lining blood vessels are known to be important for maintaining health, but researchers at the Indiana University School of Medicine believe these cells may perform an unsuspected task - controlling the development of fat cells.   view more (2008-09-22)

Reducing intake of dietary fat prevents prostate cancer in mice
Scientists with UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center and the Department of Urology have showed that lowering intake of the type of fat common in a Western diet helps prevent prostate cancer in mice, the first finding of its kind in a mouse model that closely mimics human cancer, researchers said.   view more (2008-05-15)

Newly identified cells make fat
To understand where fat comes from, you have to start with a skinny mouse. By using such a creature, and observing the growth of fat after injections of different kinds of immature cells, scientists at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Rockefeller University have discovered an important fat... view more (2008-10-06)

Why do eyelids sag with age? UCLA study answers mystery
