That unexpected ingredient is something called a plasticizer: a chemical used to make... 

An advisory issued by the American Heart Association (AHA) warns about a newly-recognised condition called cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. Experts say that up to one-third of Americans could have the newly-defined condition According to a statement from the AHA, defining CKM syndrome marks the first time experts have acknowledged an overlap in symptoms caused by kidney disease, type... 

A new study on sucralose, a popular sugar-free sweetener that underwent 110 safety studies before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved it in 1998—finds the popular ingredient has toxicities that regulatory agencies must consider. New health and safety findings revealed in the study show sucralose, sometimes sold under the brand name Splenda, is “genotoxic,” meaning it breaks up DNA.... 

US scientists have reaffirmed the benefits of eating walnuts in a new study. Specialists from the University of California at Davis conducted a series of experiments on a group of male mice diagnosed with prostate cancer. The mice were divided into three diet groups. The first group did not consume walnuts, the second group received walnuts, and the third one was fed with walnut oil. The experiment...

The regular consumption of fizzy drinks accelerates cellular aging of tissues, according to a new study by American scientists. People who enjoy daily carbonated sodas experience DNA changes, aging their cells by four years. After studying over 5,300 “healthy adults” in the US, aged between 20 and 65 years old, who had no history of diabetes or cardiovascular disease, the researchers found... 

David Walker In an experiment on fruit flies, UCLA biologists activated just one gene, AMPK, which extended their lifespan by nearly a third, by helping them to get rid of “cellular garbage” causing old age diseases such as Parkinson’s. Humans have the same gene. “Instead of studying the diseases of aging Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, stroke, cardiovascular disease,... 

Researchers have identified that periodic fasting could reduce cholesterol levels in people with the amount of glucose higher than normal. Scientists at the Intermountain Heart Institute in Murray, United States, found a biological process in the body that is able to convert bad cholesterol in fat cells to energy.

A new research has demonstrated that those men who get adequate sleep have more chance of lowering the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. The study conducted by the researchers of Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute (LA BioMed) has tied sleep to the body’s use of insulin. The findings prove that enough sleep can improve the body’s use of insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar... 

Children who live in areas with air traffic pollution are threatened by higher risk of insulin resistance that can lead to diabetes in adults, a new study suggests. According to the study on 400 participants of 10-year-olds conducted by German researchers, air pollutants are oxidizers that can impact on lipids and proteins in the blood. To measure the participated kids’ glucose and insulin, they... 

It is alarming to know that most Americans drink sugary beverages. In fact a massive propaganda (advertisement) campaign started back before my time. Soda pops were only 5 cents according to my Dad. However, at that time sodas and other drinks were likely made with real sugars as opposed to high fructose corn syrup which is used in most drinks today as a form of sweetener (a cancer inhibitor). In...
