Sunscreens can damage skin, researchers find
Are sunscreens always beneficial, or can they be detrimental to users? A research team led by UC Riverside chemists reports that unless people out in the sun apply sunscreen often, the sunscreen itself can become harmful to the skin. view more (2006-08-29)
Red grapefruit appears to lower cholesterol, fight heart disease
In a controlled study group of patients with heart disease, the scientists found that feeding some patients the equivalent of one grapefruit daily significantly reduced levels of cholesterol in comparison to patients that did not eat grapefruit. view more (2006-02-09)
Cocoa intake linked to lower blood pressure, reduced risk of death
A study of elderly Dutch men indicates that eating or drinking cocoa is associated with lower blood pressure and a reduced risk of death. view more (2006-02-28)
New research suggests heart bypass surgery increases risk of Alzheimer's disease
Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) researchers have discovered that patients who have either coronary artery bypass graft surgery or coronary angioplasty are at an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. view more (2005-08-26)
How vitamin C stops the big 'C'
Nearly 30 years after Nobel laureate Linus Pauling famously and controversially suggested that vitamin C supplements can prevent cancer, a team of Johns Hopkins scientists have shown that in mice at least, vitamin C - and potentially other antioxidants - can indeed inhibit the growth of some tumors - just not in the manner suggested by years of... view more...

Found — the apple gene for red
CSIRO researchers have located the gene that controls the colour of apples - a discovery that may lead to bright new apple varieties. view more (2006-12-04)
A few squares of dark chocolate a day may stave off artery hardening in smokers
Dark chocolate may stave off artery hardening in smokers, and a few squares every day could potentially cut the risk of serious heart disease. view more (2005-12-20)
Smoking out the links between nutrition and oral cancer
Every year, nearly 300,000 people worldwide are diagnosed with oral cancer. This type of cancer has the highest incidence in people who use tobacco, including cigarettes, but the means by which tobacco promotes the development of oral cancer is unknown. view more (2006-08-10)
Ghengis Khan wonder berry could conquer heart disease
Berries taken since the time of Ghengis Khan could form the basis of the next big thing in heart health. view more (2006-10-04)
Coffee is number one source of antioxidants
Coffee provides more than just a morning jolt; that steaming cup of java is also the number one source of antioxidants in the U.S. diet, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Scranton (Pa.). view more (2005-08-29)
Study with smokers shows vitamins combine for benefits
A new study has found that supplements of vitamin C can largely stop the serious depletion of vitamin E that occurs in smokers, demonstrating for the first time in humans a remarkable interaction between these two antioxidants as they work together. view more (2006-02-15)
Free radical cell death switch identified
Humans and other organisms depend on oxygen to produce the energy required for cells to carry out their normal functions. A cell's engine, the mitochondria, converts oxygen into energy. But this process also leaves a kind of exhaust product known as free radicals. view more (2006-06-02)
Resistance to chemotherapy in lung cancer, optimizing flu vaccination strategies
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, in part because these tumors often are or become resistant to chemotherapy. view more (2006-10-03)
Prevent prostate cancer with antioxidants? Gene pathway may reveal more clues
Scientists from Maryland and New Jersey have identified a molecular pathway in mice that makes prostate cells vulnerable to cancer-causing oxygen damage. The pathway, which is also involved in human prostate cancer, may help determine how and whether antioxidants, such as certain vitamins or their products that reverse the damage, can prevent... view more...

Research finds antioxidant therapies do not interfere with radiation treatment
Cancer patients can get the vital nutritional benefits from taking antioxidants without the risk of interfering with radiation treatment, according to research findings being presented this weekend at the Society of Integrative Oncology's Third International Conference in Boston. view more (2006-11-10)
Scientists discover possible link between oxidative stress and non-hereditary degenerative disease
The irreversible neurological degeneration associated with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases may be the consequence of oxidative stress-the imbalance of antioxidants and pro-oxidants in cells. view more (2006-04-28)
Mushrooms as good an antioxidant source as more colorful veggies
Portabella and crimini mushrooms rank with carrots, green beans, red peppers and broccoli as good sources of dietary antioxidants, Penn State researchers say. view more (2006-06-27)
Everybody dance: The energy you use won't shorten your life
The theory that animals die when they've expended their lifetime allotment of energy may be reaching the end of its own life, according to a study presented at The American Physiological Society conference, Comparative Physiology 2006. view more (2006-10-09)
Drink brewed tea to avoid tooth erosion
Today, the average size soft drink is 20 ounces and contains 17 teaspoons of sugar. More startling is that some citric acids found in fruit drinks are more erosive than hydrochloric or sulfuric acid-which is also known as battery acid. view more (2008-11-26)
Free-radical busting antioxidants might not promote healthy hearts
Antioxidants, such as beta-carotene and Vitamin E, have been touted for their ability to protect against heart disease. This protective effect is attributed to their ability to prevent the oxidation of bad cholesterol by free radicals-a process thought to contribute to the build-up of disease-causing fatty deposits on artery walls. view more (2006-04-10)
