support@biotrustnews.com Did you know that it's not just the foods you eat, but actually the way you EAT them that matters when it comes to maximum fat-burning? For example, if you are eating pre-sliced strawberries, the fat-burning vitamin content of these sweet treats can be compromised due to prolonged exposure to oxygen. Instead, when eating strawberries, it's best to eat them whole (who doesn't love biting into a juicy strawberry?), or at least wait until you are ready to eat to slice and dice them up. One thing you DON'T want to do is slice them and then store them, consuming them over time, as this will surely reduce the fat-burning power of the great strawberry. ...

ScienceAlert... A phase 1 trial involving a new type of RNA therapy has shown that the treatment could be used to fight psoriasis, a debilitating skin condition that affects nearly 3 percent of the world's population. At the American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in Philadelphia last week, researchers announced that AST-005, a type of RNA therapy, is safe to use in humans, and were optimistic about the drug’s dose-dependent response in psoriasis patients. Psoriasis is an auto-immune disease, triggered when the body creates too much of a normally healthy protein, tumour necrosis factor-± (TNF-±). The immune system attacks this protein, causing red, itchy, and scaly ...

Sick people go to the hospital to get well, but there’s now even more scientific evidence confirming that a visit to the hospital may a person even worse-off than they were to begin with. And now we know why. A brand new study was released that has discovered that gut flora is reduced dramatically within DAYS of someone entering the hospital environment. The researchers reported that some of the patient microbiomes resembled the microbiomes of corpses. Just to be clear this means that the colonies of health promoting bacteria present in these patients were at the level of a dead body rather than a living human being.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday issued a rule banning antibacterials in soap, which the agency said were no more effective than simple soap and much more harmful for the environment and consumer health. The FDA gave companies a year to remove chemicals such as triclosan and triclocarban from their products or take them off the shelves entirely, and an additional year to get rid of ingredients like benzalkonium chloride, which are less commonly used...

Infomercial... Hey it's Shawn and today I have a little science lesson for you about your "belly fat" hormone, also known as cortisol. Cortisol is a hormone that your body releases to deal with stress, and unfortunately high levels of cortisol have been linked to increased levels of abdominal fat. Want to reduce cortisol and burn more belly flab? Here are 3 things that you can do starting today: 1. Work less - New research shows that if you work more than 48 hours per week, the likelihood of consuming excess alcohol goes up dramatically. Alcohol consumption increases cortisol, and together they both increase belly fat. If you're looking to shrink your belly, trimming ...
Blame it on the brain! Scientists find ‘switch’ responsible for binge drinking

RT... People who struggle with enjoying just one alcoholic drink may be able to blame binging on their brain’s wiring: Scientists say they discovered a mechanism which determines both how much alcohol a person drinks, and how much they’re able to tolerate. Researchers from Washington State University (WSU), Oregon Health and Science University, and the US Veterans Administration Portland Health Care System made their discovery while studying two mice named D2 and B6. Mouse D2 was the responsible kind of mouse who knew his limits and could stop at just one or two drinks. After that, he had trouble staying on a rotating cylinder. “He won’t drink much,” David ...

Many types of breast cancer respond to drugs because "they have receptors on their surface which bind to drugs like Tamoxifen, but triple negative don't have receptors, so the drugs don't work," Nithiyandam told the Telegraph. Some women with triple breast cancer respond to therapy well, while others quickly decline. The reason lies in the structure and behavior of cancer cells. ...
Conservatives Just Don’t Get It on the Drug War

There are many differences between conservatives and libertarians. And a great many more if one looks at the actions of conservatives and ignores the libertarian-sounding rhetoric they spout when they are attacking liberals, appealing to members of their libertarian-leaning base, or suckering libertarians into voting Republican. One of the main things that conservatives just don’t get is the war on drugs. There are some exceptions, of course, but mainly just regarding marijuana. Few conservatives are willing to go on record as opposing lock, stock, and barrel the government’s war on drugs of every kind. The latest conservative who just doesn’t get it is Phil Valentine, ...

Blake Lively Opens Up About Her Post-Baby Body Insecurity By RICKI HARRIS August 24, 2016 4:17 PM Good Morning America Having her body on display just eight months after giving birth to her first child was daunting for actress Blake Lively. Lively appears in a bikini for the majority of her newest film, "The Shallows," and she admitted to Australia's Herald Sun that it wasn't so easy. "The struggle is that I am doing a movie in a bikini eight months after having a baby and there is a level of insecurity and vanity that comes with that,” she confessed. But Lively, who has spoken out about positive body image before, also fessed up to the unfair ...
Obamacare: A Failed Experiment

Obamacare: A Failed Experiment by Stephen Lendman Obamacare was designed as a healthcare rationing scheme to benefit drug companies, large hospital chains and insurers - instead of Medicare for all, everyone in, no one left out, everybody treated equally on a level playing field. Healthcare in America comes at double or more the expense compared to other Western countries, millions excluded from coverage, many millions more with too little because of the high cost, making care they need unaffordable. Young healthy Americans aren’t enrolling in state insurance exchanges in enough numbers to keep many of them viable. Signups are less than half of forecasted numbers. For everyone ...

The drug is approved for restorative dental work and may help needle-phobic patients more likely to go to the dentist. Kovanaze is a nasal spray, similar to the one pictured, approved for use by the FDA as an anesthetic for restorative dental work. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- For people who are pain- or needle-phobic, dental work is often avoided because the primary method for numbing the mouth involves a shot, but a new inhalable anesthetic may offer new hope to those avoiding the dentist. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Kovanaze, a nasal spray anesthetic for use in restorative dental work after it was shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials. The drug, ...

ScienceAlert... If you're looking to improve the quality of air in your home, potted plants are a good place to start. But not all indoor plants are created equal. A new study has found that certain varieties actually do more than pump more oxygen into your surroundings - they can also clear the air of harmful chemicals. The new study, conducted by researchers from the State University of New York, looked specifically for plants that had the ability to absorb volatile organic compounds or VOCs, which are potentially harmful pollutants that can come from paint, furniture, printers, dry-cleaned clothes, and other household products. "Buildings, whether new or old, can have high ...

While researchers did not see a significant difference among patient groups in the study, they report their data suggests earlier treatment has benefits. German researchers found ambulances set up specifically to treat stroke patients improved outcomes, though not significantly in their study of just under 1,000 stroke patients. Doctors generally agree the earlier a stroke patient can start treatment, either with clot-busting drugs or to stop bleeding on the brain, the better outcome they are likely to have. BERLIN, Aug. 25 (UPI) -- It's well known that the sooner stroke is treated, the better patients fare and the less likely they are to have a disability after recovery. ...

ScienceAlert... Researchers in the US have pioneered the use of ultrasound to successfully 'restart' brain activity in a coma patient for the first time. It's too early to say if the technique will be safe and effective every time, but it could give doctors a non-invasive option for treating those who would otherwise be stuck in a vegetative state. The 25-year-old patient who was given the ultrasound boost was being treated by medical researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), and hospital staff say he's making "remarkable progress" after the procedure. "It's almost as if we were jumpstarting the neurons back into ...

PMF... A cross-discipline study has challenged the belief that human sexuality and gender identity are determined by biology and remain fixed, saying that there is no scientific proof of this. The study cautioned against drastic medical treatment for transgender children. The notion that sexual orientation is predetermined by biology is an important part of the current LGBT discourse. If a person has no choice over whether to be gay or not, society cannot demand that he or she be straight, so the argument goes. But regardless of its political worth, the “born this way” paradigm is not backed up by sufficient scientific data, according to a new paper published in the autumn ...

Drinking Green Tea Helps Prevent Deadly Aneurysm Image: Drinking Green Tea Helps Prevent Deadly Aneurysm (Copyright iStock) By Sylvia Booth Hubbard | Tuesday, 23 Aug 2016 11:53 AM Drinking green tea can help prevent deadly abdominal aortic aneurysms, a condition in which the body's main artery becomes stretched and bloated. If it eventually ruptures, it is fatal in at least 50 percent of cases. Researchers at Japan's Kyoto University found that drinking green could prevent the condition. They believe that the beneficial compounds in green tea are polyphenols, a type of antioxidant that fights free radicals and reduces inflammation. The polyphenols also appear to make arteries ...

ScienceAlert... Researchers have used a new kind of biological clock to discover that Latinos age more slowly than any other ethnic group in the US. The findings could lead to a greater understanding of the epigenetic changes – external factors influencing our DNA – that affect why all of us age differently, as well as solving a long-standing mystery over how Latinos enjoy such longevity in the face of greater susceptibility to certain health issues. "Latinos live longer than Caucasians, despite experiencing higher rates of diabetes and other diseases. Scientists refer to this as the 'Hispanic paradox,'" says geneticist and biostatistician Steve Horvath from ...
Scientists have finally figured out how cancer spreads through the bloodstream

ScienceAlert... In what could be a major step forward in our understanding of how cancer moves around the body, researchers have observed the spread of cancer cells from the initial tumour to the bloodstream. The findings suggest that secondary growths called metastases 'punch' their way through the walls of small blood vessels by targeting a molecule known as Death Receptor 6 (no, really, that's what it's called). This then sets off a self-destruct process in the blood vessels, allowing the cancer to spread. According to the team from Goethe University Frankfurt and the Max Planck Institute in Germany, disabling Death Receptor 6 (DR6) may effectively block the spread of ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- Carolyn Bertozzi, a professor of chemistry at Stanford University, has shown that removing certain sugars surrounding breast cancer cells can recruit a second arm of the immune system - the innate immune system. The approach, described in a study published this week in Proceedings of the (U.S.) National Academy of Sciences, greatly improved the effectiveness of a breast cancer drug in a lab dish, opening up a new avenue in the fight against cancer. "This is a whole new dimension to immune therapy," Bertozzi said, adding that she thinks it could be the first of many therapeutic approaches involving the sugars that surround cells, called the ...
