Professor Ratcliffe maintains the most important lesson to be learned from our ancestors is that a restricted diet is not desirable. "The main lesson is that as humans we need a huge variety of food from a range of different sources and food groups," he says. "We can see from early mans experience that it is not good enough to rely upon single sources and single groups of foods because they did not give them the nutrients they needed. (In the Iron Age) the diet was largely meat and cereal-based and would have been nutritionally deficient in vitamin C, and they would certainly have had problems with calcium and vitamin D. There would still have been deprivations, crops failures and famines resulting from those failures, and disease within animals. In other words, (farming man) had an existence that was full of supply problems,

2006-07-19 Tufts researchers are keeping track of vitamin K: Research summary (press release)

Much of what is known about the content of vitamin K in the U. S. food supply comes from research conducted in the Vitamin K Laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. Extensive databases now exist for the food content of one type of vitamin K, phylloquinone. Synthesized by plants, phylloquinone makes dark green leafy vegetables the richest source of vitamin K in the American diet. Lab Director Sarah Booth, PhD, and her USDA colleagues, for the first time reported data on the content of the two other major types of dietary vitamin K -- menaquinones and dihydrophylloquinone -- in more than 500 commonly consumed meats, dairy foods, fast-foods, grains, cereals and baked goods. Assessing the natural and synthetic forms of vitamin K content in foods is important because of its possible

Even on the 100 pct. raw food diet, no one lives forever. For individuals who follow this diet for many years, aging comes a week or two before death. Deterioration takes place rapidly.

2006-07-04 Latin Pet Food Sales Grow Latin Business Chronicle

Pet food producers working in the mid- and economy priced segments increasingly look to premium lines for the next steps in innovation. Value-added products are making their way into lower price points. Fortified, life-stage (puppy, adult, and senior) and life-style (active pet, small-breed, and sedentary pet) food products are replacing standard dog and cat food offerings in both mid-priced and economy price ranges. Grand Food and Agroceres Pet in Brazil are two examples of innovators in the lower-price segments. Grand Foods Premier Pet line was developed for smaller breeds and puppies, while Agroceres launched Zeus, a low-price vitamin and mineral fortified dog food. Both products were introduced into the Brazilian market in 2005. More convenient packaging, including stand-up and re-sealable pouches, are another area

One current trend in nutrition counseling is to advise dieters to give themselves permission to eat whatever they want. That means lose the negative attitude toward certain foods and rather than constantly denying yourself, give in. Thats right, enjoy it. Focus more on your food habits - when, why, and how much you eat - than on the food itself. At the same time, learn all you can about nutritional balance, portion control, and your own personal motivation for eating the way you do. Your goal now can be to eat healthfully most of the time so you dont have to give small indulgences a second thought.

2006-07-30 Living - Growing your own organically. is it worth it

Organic food - free from GM ingredients, additives and colourings as well as fertilisers and most pesticides - seems like the obvious solution. A recent study found that 60 per cent of children in Scotland under the age of two are fed on an organic diet - even if their parents cant afford organic foods for themselves. According to the Soil Association, the regulating body for organic farming in Britain, they are making the right decision. The association says that children may be particularly susceptible to pesticide residue as they have a higher intake of food and water per unit of body weight than adults and their relatively immature organ systems may have limited ability to detoxify these substances.

Real food means locally grown fruits and vegetables, animal fat (including lard), whole eggs, butter, grass-fed and pastured beef, poultry, and pork, fish, raw milk cheese and raw, unpasteurized, unhomogenized milk from grass-fed cows rather than those fattened on grain. Of course, the best way to eat well is to cook at home and shop wherever they sell real foods. Besides farmers and rsquo; markets, shoppers can find real foods at Murray and rsquo;s Cheese Store, Fairway, Agata and Valentina, the Park Slope Food Coop and health food stores around the city. Planck doesn and rsquo;t shop at Yuppies and rsquo; Paradise - aka Whole Foods - but she approves their popularizing organic, slow, local and traditional foods. However, she cautions the buyer to read their labels closely, since just because something says and ldquo;organic and rdquo; doesn and rsquo;t

2006-07-20 The USDA: Promoting a Pigs Diet for Humans

The junk food industry has discovered that rather than paying to haul their garbage to the landfill, its more profitable to sell those day old donuts, defective chips, and even brewery waste to the livestock industry. Now think about the kind of diet we are encouraged to adopt by the experts: a grain-based, low-fat, high carbohydrate diet. Consider that the majority of the products in your grocery store contain either corn, soy or some form of sugar. Reflect on the fact that much of the food we eat (cookies, crackers, breads, chips, skim milk and sugar) is ideal for putting fat on a pig. Finally, consider how illogical it is that a diet designed to increase the market value of a pig by increasing weight gain is the same diet that we are advised to follow in order to lose weight.

Mr. Adeyemi chipped in that different drugs take different length of time to pass through the intestine and to come out as faeces and that the period is easily affected by many factors, including diet. and ldquo;Some have their absorption into the blood stream increased when co-administered with food whereas some have their absorption reduced. A good example such a food item that reduces absorption is bitter leaf, and rdquo; he explained. Bitter leaf no doubt has enjoyed good patronage for the treatment of many diseases. The leaves and twigs of bitter leaf are used by several communities for a variety of purposes.

2006-07-17 WBAY-TV Green Bay-Fox Cities-Northeast Wisconsin News: Food Allergies

The prevalence of food allergies is increasing (demonstrating that food allergies are not just inherited); a recent study of peanut allergy prevalence shows a doubling of peanut allergy in children in the past five years. "The increase in food allergy parallels the increase in all allergic diseases in children, including asthma, environmental allergies and eczema. The Hygiene Hypothesis is a recent theory that explains this increase in allergic diseases with the observation that as younger populations have become healthier and more hygienic, with fewer infectious illnesses, their immune systems are finding other targets, such as allergens in the environment and diet," says Young.
