2006-11-15 Natural Products Industry Insider - The Up-and-Down Journey of Calcium and Weight Loss

A 2005 review of published research noted high calcium diets attenuate body fat accumulation and weight gain during periods of over-consumption of energydense diet, in addition to breaking down fat and preserving metabolism during calorie restriction. 4 This mechanism is mediated by circulating calcitrol, which regulates intercellular adipocyte Ca, resulting in inhibited lipogenesis but increased fat oxidation, thermogenesis and obesity. They concluded the evidence shows diets which include at least three daily servings of dairy products result in significant reductions in body fat mass in obese humans, in the absence of caloric restriction, and markedly accelerates the weight and body fat loss secondary to caloric restriction, compared to low dairy diets.

2006-11-28 The Evening Bulletin - Denenberg: How The Dairy Industry Causes Osteoporosis

Finally, Dr. Walter C. Willett and the Harvard School of Public Health, in their book, Eat, Drink and Be Healthy (2001) recommend against the usual recommendation of three glasses of milk a day for various reasons, including this one: "A diet high in dairy products has been implicated as a risk factor for prostate cancer. In nine separate studies, the strongest and most consistent dietary factor linked with prostate cancer was high consumption of milk or dairy products. In the largest of these, the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, men who drank two or more glasses of milk a day were almost twice as likely to develop advanced or metastatic (spreading) prostate cancer as those who didnt drink milk at all. " Here is Dr. Willetts bottom line on milk: "I dont recommend it as a beverage for adults and believe you should think of

2006-12-03 Green Clippings - Do saturated fats and trans fats cause type-2 diabetes

So Many Nutrition Recommendations Contradictory or Compatible" written by a major dietician from the American Dietetic Association lists the amounts of fat and different fats that are acceptable. According to their recommendations, total fats could represent 20-35 percent of the calories in the diets of individuals as listed in the Dietary Reference Intakes, 25-35 percent as called for by the National Cholesterol Education Program, but the American Diabetes Association says that fat intake should be individualized (expert consensus). However, recommendations for the type of fat mixes the saturated fats and the trans fats, as do almost all of the writers in these organizations. The report notes that a diet with only 5 percent of the total energy from saturated fats is adequate; and yet research shows that the normal level

2006-12-01 Are Your Skin Products and Make-up Causing more Harm Than Good

The cause of disease that is afflicting all of us at every age. Well-documented research on skin cancer, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, photodamage, rosacea, skin aging, heart, blood vessel and organ diseases demonstrate that free radicals, inflammation, acidic blood and tissue pH are the core causes. What most of us do not realize is that the skin is the largest organ of the body, and the organ the body first uses to detoxify, therefore it becomes inflamed from what we consumed, what is put on it, and what it is exposed to, such as pollution and sunlight. All of this results in aging and disease. We have become accustomed to checking ingredients in food to help protect and enrich our diet. It is equally as important that we do the same with skin, make up, hair and nail products.

Inflammation is the known cause of most disease, aging and skin pathology. Avoiding or even decreasing the use of chemical irritants found in cosmetics will result in visible improvement of your skin. It is just as important to check the ingredients you put on your skin, hair and nails as carefully as you check the ingredients you put in your mouth.

2006-11-06 Biological Effects of Nuclear Explosions

The amount of internal exposure to cesium-137 is determined by the quantity of this isotope in food. If the major mechanism for its incorporation into the diet is through the root systems of plants, then the dose will be more or less proportional to the total amount of cesium-137 accumulated on the ground. On the other hand, if this isotope enters the diet mainly through material deposited directly on the leaves of plants, the internal dose will be more nearly proportional to the rate of descent of delayed fallout. It has been calculated that if the former mechanism prevails, the internal 30-year dose to the gonads, which is of interest in connection with possible genetic effects ( 12. 201 et seq. ), would be much higher than if the alternative mechanism were of major importance. The best data presently available on cesium-137

2006-11-07 Abbott to Expand Presence in Lipid Management Market With Acquisition of Kos Pharmaceuticals: Financial News - Yahoo. Finance

Niaspan is the only FDA-approved, once-daily extended-release prescription formulation of niacin for treating abnormal cholesterol levels. Niaspan is indicated as an adjunct to diet when the response to a diet restricted in saturated fat and cholesterol and other nonpharmacologic measures alone has been inadequate, to reduce elevated total cholesterol, LDL-C, ApoB, and triglyceride levels, and to increase HDL-C in patients with primary hypercholesterolemia and mixed dyslipidemia. In patients with a history of myocardial infarction and hypercholesterolemia, niacin is indicated to reduce the risk of recurrent non-fatal myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease and hypercholesterolemia. Niacin, in combination with a bile acid binding resin, is indicated to slow progression or promote regression of atherosclerotic disease.

It2s a peculiarly human thing. Birds and animals know instinctively what is good and bad to eat, which is all to do with how food looks, smells and tastes. Humans, by contrast, have been taught to sublimate their instincts and eat what they1re told. The result is a confused populace that seldom understands the terms in which it is being addressed, but picks up the mantras of 1good1 and 1bad1 fat, high-fibre, five-portions-a-day and chuck-away-the-frying-pan. It swallows either the most recent prescriptions of the diet lobby or what is urged upon it by the wilier practitioners of the advertising industry. Sometimes 1 for nothing sells better than the promise of good health 1 the messages coincide. 1Low-fat1 foods are a good example. So are the plastic tubs of primrose-coloured grease

These studies and others have led many scientists to believe they have stumbled onto a central determinant of natural life span. Animals on restricted diets seem particularly resistant to environmental stresses like oxidation and heat, perhaps even radiation. "It is a very deep, very important function," Miller said. Experts theorize that limited access to energy alarms the body, so to speak, activating a cascade of biochemical signals that tell each cell to direct energy away from reproductive functions, toward repair and maintenance. The calorie-restricted organism is stronger, according to this hypothesis, because individual cells are more efficiently repairing mutations, using energy, defending themselves and mopping up harmful by-products like free radicals.

2006-11-05 Scotland on Sunday - Holding back the years

Most image-conscious adults know about the basics of skincare, outlined by Paterson, yet still spend thousands on products that promise miracle results. Michelle Strutton, a senior market analyst at Mintel, explained exactly how manufacturers are exploiting this anti-ageing obsession. "One of the major trends in the market has been the increasing alignment of face make-up with skincare," she says. "Manufacturers in all cosmetics and toiletries sectors view skincares success enviously and see skincare-related products as a prime way of adding value and encouraging women to use products more often. In face make-up, this trend continues to produce anti-ageing formulations which blur the distinction between cosmetics and a treatment product and acknowledges the ageing population in Britain today.
