[…]paid consultant to the tobacco industry, but also because he was himself a smoker. “Part of his resistance to seeing the association may have been rooted in his own fondness for smoking,” which makes me wonder about some of the foods many modern-day nutrition researchers may be fond of as well. RELATED STORY: Obesity responsible for 40 percent of diagnosed cancers A famous paper in the British Medical Journal titled, “Parachute use to prevent death and major trauma related to gravitational challenge: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials,” lampooned this insistence on randomized controlled trials as the only legitimate evidence. Not surprisingly, they […]
[…]jogging, running, cycling or swimming will suffice. SUMMARY: It is best to do some sort of resistance training like weight lifting. If that is not an option, cardio workouts are also effective. Optional — Do a “Carb Refeed” Once Per Week You can take one day off per week where you eat more carbs. Many people prefer Saturday. It is important to stick to healthy carb sources like oats, rice, quinoa, potatoes, sweet potatoes, fruit, etc. But only this one higher carb day — if you start doing it more often than once per week you’re not going to see much […]
[…]finding highlights the previously unnoticed risk that non-antibiotic medicines may also promote antibiotic resistance. “This is scary,” said Dr. Nassos Typas, “considering that we take many non-antibiotic drugs in our life, often for long periods. Still, not all drugs will impact gut bacteria and not all resistance will be common. In some cases, resistance to specific non-antibiotics will trigger sensitivity to specific antibiotics, opening paths for designing optimal drug combinations.” Further Research The results of this study will be useful in further research exploring drug-microbe interactions and could pave the way for the development of personalized solutions, suggested Dr. Georg […]
[…]This double garlic and greens recipe is a delicious one. RELATED STORY: Researchers discover how antibiotic power of garlic fights chronic infections 2. Dandelion Pumpkin Seed Pesto This nutritious pesto is perfect for a simple pasta, sandwich spread or veggie dip. Because the dandelion greens have a slight bite, the toasted pumpkin seeds, lemon juice and parmesan are vital to bring balance. Here is how you make it. 3. Tempura Blossoms Fried dandelion flowers, first dipped in seasoned batter, make a tasty, attractive and novel snack or side dish. By removing all the bitter green parts, you’re left with the mild-tasting and […]
[…]these aims will come to fruition as multiple types of GM crops in the U.S. have faced stiff resistance from “superbugs” and weeds that have spring up in opposition to them in the field. The rice has not been approved for mass cultivation yet, however, has been approved by the U.S. FDA in an email to Lin Yongjun, a professor at Huazhong Agricultural University, a developer of the rice. The FDA reportedly approved the rice based on the safety and nutritional assessment conducted by the university itself. Still, online commenters have not been kind to the news in China. RELATED […]
[…]acne in that she wanted it gone. And so, at the age of 15, she started taking doxycycline (an oral antibiotic used to treat acne and rosacea). However, after two years on the drug, she started noticing some pain. And the pain got so bad that for about two and a half weeks she couldn’t do anything. Then her eyesight started to get blurry. After seeing several doctors she was eventually diagnosed with intracranial hypertension, a potential side effect of doxycycline.

A joint study by the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, ETH Zurich and the University of Illinois has found what many parents have long suspected: those cute little yellow bath-time toys are actually a haven for nasty bugs. The study, published Tuesday in the journal Biofilms and Microbiomes, has been billed as one of the first in-depth scientific examinations of its kind. RELATED STORY: The microbiome in your body thrives with regular physical contact Swiss and American researchers found the liquid inside the ducks contained “potentially pathogenic bacteria,” like Legionella and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( a bacteria often responsible for hospital-acquired infections), […]
[…]who secreted higher levels of insulin in response to carbohydrate intake, a barometer for insulin resistance, did not necessarily do better on the low-carb diet a “high-quality diet” produced substantial weight loss and the percentage of calories from fat or carbs did not matter While it’s true that very often “dieters” regain what they lose, according to Dr. Gardner the people who lost the most weight reported that the study had “changed their relationship with food.” He stressed that it’s not that calories don’t matter but, rather, once you train your mind and body to want foods that are nutritious, […]
[…]the U.S. government in a medical fraud settlement after admitting to overcharging for Bayer’s antibiotic Cipro. Bayer also settled tens of millions after having persisted in selling contaminated blood products to hemophiliacs. At present, Bayer is poised to close a “mega-deal” to merge with Monsanto, which manufactures the glyphosate-containing herbicide RoundUp—both glyphosate and RoundUp’s other ingredients have been shown to be highly toxic. The CDC has its own lengthy history of corruption and deceit and has routinely turned a blind eye to conflicts of interest while it works to “protect the private good.” Although the agency owns 56 patents applicable to vaccines, it has no problem shredding vaccine safety data it doesn’t like, while continuing to […]
[…]of people around the world, why are efforts to cut dietary salt being met with such fierce resistance? Salt is big business for the processed food and meat industry. So, according to the head of the World Health Organization’s Collaborating Center on Nutrition, we get the familiar story. Just like the tobacco industry spent decades trying to manufacture doubt and confuse the public, the salt industry does the same, but the controversy is fake. The evidence for salt reduction is clear and consistent. Most of the “contradictory research” comes from scientists linked to the salt industry. However, it takes skill to spot […]
[…]carbs with unsaturated fats has been shown to lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin resistance and levels of HbA1c, a marker for long-term blood sugar control. In one study, participants who consumed a breakfast with added almond oil had lower blood sugar, both after the meal and throughout the day, compared to participants who did not eat almond oil. What’s more, the participants who consumed almond oil felt fuller after their meal, leading them to consume less throughout the day. Almond Oil May Help with Weight Loss A diet rich in healthy fats may help you lose weight. Many people […]
[…]capable of killing Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) a bacteria well known for being resistant to antibiotics. And get this: he says his herbalist grandfather was the inspiration that kept him going (he even kept a framed picture next to him while we worked)! RELATED STORY: Could cranberries form the basis for new antibiotic? Compounds in juice ‘CAN stop bacterial infections’ The wise youngster said, “I feel, without disrespecting the scientific community too much, that there should be some conclusions from this. We are over-thinking science in too many ways.” We totally agree with you, Simon! RELATED STORIES: NBC: Doctor researching cancer says […]
[…]for women. RELATED STORY: Why strength training is so important for optimal health Strength and resistance training is about so much more than just bulking up. Yes, we need to build muscle, our bodies use our muscles ALL DAY but it’s also important because it is one of the few ways we make bones denser. “Lifting something heavy, like a dumbbell, makes bones bear more weight, and in exercise, stressing your bones is a good thing (to a point of course).” This is especially good for us women because as we age and lose minerals from our bones we are prone to […]
[…]bucket over our heads. What six months of these water exercises showed was an immediately stronger resistance to illnesses. Our kids were now able to go to the kindergarten and even if someone had infection, they were no longer catching it.” The benefits go beyond physical health. Cold therapies also do wonders for emotional health. Children who take part in daily ice showers are more optimistic and emotionally-mature said the kindergarten workers. But the main benefit remains to be protection from the flu. “…Facts are hard to argue with. Our doctor confirms that children in groups that practice dousing get […]
[…]diabetes due to common mechanistic pathways (15). Blood sugar dysregulation, as well as insulin resistance, are also common antecedents or predisposing factors in the onset of autoimmune disease. Thus, it is promising that earthing has been shown to decrease fasting glucose among diabetics with poor glycemic control when implemented over a three-day period (8). Decreased Immune Reactivity Grounding has been proven to produce measurable changes in immune hyper-responsiveness, including changes in white blood cell counts, concentrations of inflammation-mediating cytokines, and other molecules that are involved in mounting inflammatory responses (9). Not only does grounding mitigate the cardinal signs of inflammation, including dolor (pain), calor(heat), tumor (swelling), rubor (redness), […]
[…]you, as all of these have a high glycemic load and they increase blood sugar levels, and insulin resistance: · Gluten-rich foods such as whole wheat bread or a bagel, · White rice · Granola (sugar coated grains) · Instant oatmeal · Mashed or baked potato · Any whole grain that has been processed into flour. The bottom line is that you can improve your brain function starting right now (and prevent or delay future memory loss) by adding foods that boost brain function, and by avoiding foods that cause your blood sugar levels to surge. My published studies show […]
[…]Stem Cell database. Given that the cancer stem cell populations are the primary cause of treatment resistance and malignancy, any new research that sheds light on this topic has powerful implications for those who wish to use their food as medicine. Pomegranate Confirmed To Be A Cancer Stem Cell Killer Two recent studies have looked at the effects of a pomegranate extract on cancer stem cells. The first, titled, “In vivo relevant mixed urolithins and ellagic acid inhibit phenotypic and molecular colon cancer stem cell features: A new potentiality for ellagitannin metabolites against cancer,” and published in the journal Food and Chemical […]
[…]is able to fight both at once and therefore may prove an effective drug when used together with antibiotics’, says Tim Holm Jakobsen. Previous studies have shown that garlic appears to offer the most powerful, naturally occurring resistance to bacteria. In addition to inhibiting the bacteria’s RNA molecules, the active garlic compound also damages the protective slimy matrix surrounding the bacteria, the so-called biofilm. When the biofilm is destroyed or weakened, both antibiotics and the body’s own immune system are able to attack the bacteria more directly and thus remove the infection. In 2012 the researchers took out a patent […]
[…]lipid levels in the blood, liver, and feces, and blood insulin levels as an indication of insulin resistance in animals with diet-induced obesity who did or did not receive supplementation with dietary yerba mate. “Obesity and diabetes have become problems that can’t be managed by pharmaceuticals alone. This study suggests a safe alternative to managing weight and reducing blood lipids and glucose,” says Journal of Medicinal Food Editor-in-Chief Sampath Parthasarathy, MBA, PhD, Florida Hospital Chair in Cardiovascular Sciences and Interim Associate Dean, College of Medicine, University of Central Florida. *Article originally appeared at Prevent […]
[…]that has brought its benefits, such as lower-cost materials or capabilities like water resistance, our love of plastic has also produced a lot of trash. About 7 billion tons of it, by their estimate. And as of 2015, only 9 percent of the plastic waste produced ended up recycled, and another 12 percent was incinerated, the researchers found in their report. The remaining 79 percent has built up in landfills or ended up elsewhere in the environment.” RELATED STORY: Coca-Cola produced 1 billion more plastic bottles last year, says Greenpeace In order to make their estimates, the team put datasets on […]
