WASHINGTON, May 20 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on Friday announced a major update to th Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods in an effort to help American consumers make healthy food choices. The new label included a new design to highlight calories and servings, as well as new serving sizes that more closely reflect the amounts of food that Americans currently eat, which the FDA said have changed since the last serving size requirements were published in 1993. The update also included grams and a percent daily value for added sugars to be declared to help consumers know how much sugar has been added to the product. "It is difficult to meet nutrient ...

ScienceAlert... If you’re baking fish, roasting vegetables or preparing a piece of meat for dinner tonight, chances are that you’ll wrap your food in aluminium foil. What you may not realise is that some of the foil will leach into your meal – and this could be bad for your health. Research that I conducted with a group of colleagues has explored the use of aluminium for cooking and preparing food. Aluminium doesn’t just appear in foil: it is the most popular cookware material used by people in developing countries. Pots and pans are lined with it and it is found in some kitchen utensils like large serving spoons. Copper used to fulfil this role, but over time ...

Telegraph... Could astrological eating be the next big food fad? According to the Hemsley sisters, it might be. On their Channel 4 show, 'Eating Well with Hemsley and Hemsley', health food gurus Melissa and Jasmine Hemsley showed viewers how to make a full English breakfast, using only 'astrologically farmed' eggs. What on earth is is agricultural astrology? Known as 'biodynamic farming' or 'agricultural astrology', it is a food production method that "advises the planting, cultivating and harvesting of crops based on moon phases". Liz Cotton, a buyer for Infinity Foods in Brighton, told the MailOnline: "Biodynamic is similar to organic but ...

WebMD Walnuts: Omega-3s by the Handful It's easy to add walnuts to a morning bowl of cereal or some snack-time trail mix. They are an excellent source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), one of the three omega-3 fatty acids and the one most commonly found in plants. Other nuts also have some ALA, although almonds don’t. Enhanced Eggs You can find omega-3-enhanced eggs in most stores and farmers markets. They tend to have darker yolks than regular eggs. The omega-3 fatty acid DHA is in yolks only; egg whites don’t have fatty acids. Enjoy these eggs for breakfast, and you'll start your day with the health benefits of omega-3s, including protecting your heart and possibly ...
Here’s how an old-school drug could beat brain cancer - by starving it to death

ScienceAlert... An international team of scientists has found that flavopiridol, a synthetic flavonoid used in the past to treat various forms of cancer, could also be repurposed to play a crucial role in the fight against brain tumours. The stakes are high: glioblastomas, which flavopiridol could be used to tackle, are the most common form of brain cancer, and right now, there is no cure. Just 30 percent of patients with glioblastoma in the US live more than two years after diagnosis, and an estimated 12,000 new cases are expected to be diagnosed in the US in 2016. Thanks to work from researchers in the US, Italy, and the UK, it appears flavopiridol can be used to starve glioblastoma ...

Fathers' age, lifestyle associated with birth defects

Science Daily... A growing body of research is revealing associations between birth defects and a father's age, alcohol use and environmental factors, say researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center. They say these defects result from epigenetic alterations that can potentially affect multiple generations. The study, published in the American Journal of Stem Cells, suggest both parents contribute to the health status of their offspring -- a common sense conclusion which science is only now beginning to demonstrate, says the study's senior investigator, Joanna Kitlinska, PhD, an associate professor in biochemistry, and molecular and cellular biology.

Can Most Cancer Really Be Prevented?

Yahoo/Time... Cancer is a complicated disease. We’re born with a certain number of genetic aberrations that can lead to the disease, and we also pick up some from how we live or what kinds of things we are exposed to. But there’s also another way we acquire DNA changes: simply by having another birthday and living longer. As we age, and our cells continue to divide, they’re more prone to making genetic mistakes when they copy our genome. Some of those mistakes can lead to tumors. But how many cancers fall into the second camp—the ones caused by things we are exposed to in this lifetime? Researchers from Johns Hopkins caused a furor in 2015 when they determined that well ...
IBM says it's designed a molecule that could fight off any human virus

ScienceAlert... Part of the difficulty in tackling viruses like Ebola and Zika is that they're all so different, and each one can regularly mutate to create different strains within the same virus. To address this, scientists have been busy looking at common characteristics of viruses that could be used to develop an all-powerful vaccine capable of fighting off any infection, and researchers over at IBM say they're getting close. It's exciting stuff: a macromolecule – a giant molecule made up of smaller units – has now been developed that could have the potential to block multiple types of viruses, despite the many variations involved. It's still early days yet, ...
Common antimicrobial agent disrupts gut bacteria

SAN FRANCISCO, May 18 (Xinhua) -- A new study suggests that an antimicrobial and antifungal agent found in many consumer products ranging from hand soaps to toys and toothpaste can rapidly disrupt bacterial communities found in the gut. The finding about triclosan, which was first used as a hospital scrub in the 1970s and now is one of the most common antimicrobial agents in the world, were published Wednesday in PLOS ONE by researchers from Oregon State University. It was based on study made with zebrafish, which the researchers believe are an important animal model to help determine possible human biological and health impacts of this antimicrobial compound. As triclosan is used in ...

ScienceAlert... Magic mushrooms, the illegal drug long touted in popular circles for its 'mind-freeing' capabilities, might one day have some real benefits for people with severe depression. That's at least according to several promising studies, the latest of which - a very small pilot study of just 12 people - suggests that the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms, psilocybin, could help alleviate symptoms of depression when administered alongside other forms of more traditional therapy. For their small pilot study of just 12 people with severe depression whose illness didn't respond to any other treatments, researchers gave everyone in the group 10 milligrams of ...

WASHINGTON, May 16 (Xinhua) -- Exercise during leisure time may reduce the risk of 13 types of cancers, including liver cancer and breast cancer, a major study said Monday. Hundreds of previous studies have examined associations between physical activity and cancer risk and shown reduced risks for colon, breast, and endometrial cancers. However, these results have been inconclusive for most cancer types due to small numbers of participants in the studies. In the new study, Steven Moore of the U.S. National Cancer Institute and colleagues examined data from 1.44 million people, aged 19 to 98, from the United States and Europe, who were followed for a median of 11 years.

The healthiest weight might actually be 'overweight', massive study finds

ScienceAlert... A study spanning almost four decades and involving more than 100,000 adults in Denmark has found that those with an ‘overweight' body mass index (or BMI) were more likely to live longer than those in the 'healthy', 'underweight', and 'obese' categories. The results bring into question one of the fundamental assumptions we have about our health right now - that a 'healthy' BMI equals a longer life. And it’s not the first time - a number of studies in the past have found that packing on a few extra pounds might not be so bad after all. Before we go into any of the details, these results are definitely not an excuse to cancel ...
Probiotics have no real effect on healthy adults, study finds

ScienceAlert... If you've been in a grocery store lately, you're probably well aware that probiotics are the latest health craze since the recent kale fiasco, but once you wade through all the hype, do these expensive, bacteria-laden foods and drinks actually do anything? According to a team of researchers from Denmark, the answer is a big fat no. The team looked at test data gathered on seven probiotic products and found no evidence that they changed the mix of faecal bacteria in healthy adults. A larger sample size is needed to confirm once and for all if these products have any kind of influence on our inner microbiome, but these initial results are pretty telling. Even if you ...

War is the right word meaning they are killing more patients each year than any war. Over the last ten years, the numbers add up to a minimum of 3.5 million dead and that is only if you count the way doctors count. If you count the way I count, by including doctor ignorance of what can prevent death, like magnesium does in heart disease, the numbers would be millions higher. After heart disease and cancer, medical errors kill more Americans than anything else does, claiming a quarter of a million lives a year, according to a study by researchers at Johns Hopkins University the British Medical Journal reports. Add to this number over 100,000 that die from properly prescribed medicines and ...

LONDON, May 13 (Xinhua) -- British food security watchdog issued an official warning on Thursday, urging people to avoid eating the nutritious apricot kernels as they contain high levels of the toxic chemical cyanide that could kill. The Food Standard Agency, a food safety arm of the British government, sounded the alarm over fears of a growing health craze in which some retailers are selling large packets of ground apricot stones to cancer patients, claiming that they help to treat the disease. According to the agency, apricot kernels contain high amounts of the naturally-occurring Vitamin B17, which contributes to the bitter taste, but it changes to cyanide after people eat the nuts. ...

ScienceAlert... A whole lot of people use herbal remedies with the assumption that even if they don't work, they're not really doing any harm. But a new journal article offers a timely reminder that that's not always the case. In fact, one of the most commonly used herbal remedies, Aristolochia (AKA birthwort or Dutchman's pipe), has been shown to trigger kidney failure and cancer in roughly 5-10 percent of the population, who have a genetic susceptibility to one of its compounds. Aristolochia is a genus of plant that's been used for more than 2,500 years as a cure-all alternative medicine, treating things as diverse as "snakebite, head wounds, insomnia, ...
