In mouse models of intestinal cancer, use of an anti-inflammatory drug eliminated all of the cancer-causing risks produced by a high-fat Western-style diet - even when several genetic brakes to cancer formation were missing in the animals, say researchers from the Albert Einstein Cancer Center. The investigators, who presented their findings at the 96th Annual Meeting of the American Assoc...Excess liver gene protects against high-fat diet
A gene that senses fat in the liver can modulate the consequences of eating a high-fat, Western diet, new research published in the May issue of Cell Metabolism reveals. Mice with an excess of liver X receptor (LXRa), when fed a diet high in fat, remained free from the high cholesterol and blood vessel plaques exhibited by animals with the normal complement of receptors.

Female harbor seal pups whose blubber falls below average levels may be at higher risk of delayed sexual maturation or death, even if they get enough fat in their diets later on, according to a new study sponsored by The American Physiological Society and presented at Experimental Biology 2006. The study found that harbor seals pups that were heavier when captured from the wild continued t...Diethyl pyrocarbonate from Research Organics, Inc.

Epileptic children have always been ostracized as children of a lesser God. The physical, mental, moral and social ramifications of these hapless children are beyond words. One stumbling handicap in the surgical treatment of such children was the feasibility of administering General Anesthesia to these children. In many cases the anesthesia times ranged from 1 to 10 hours with procedur...Dietary phytonutrients – Secret for the good food to taste ba
Phytonutrients have been associated with cancer prevention and other health benefits. They are trace chemicals and taste bitter, acid or astringent. If phytonutrients have to be consumed then demands of good taste and good health may be wholly incompatible. The bitter phytonutrients protect the plant against being eaten by harmful herbivores. The plants which contains phyto nutrients are...Risk of Cancer can be reduced to 40% with a High Fiber Diet
A study was conducted with 400,000 people from nine countries, who were divided into five sets according to their consumption of fiber and presented at an International Conference in France. This study showed that fiber was particularly important in reducing cancer of the colon and rectum. Medical experts believe up to 30% of all cancers in the developed world are associated with n...Diet Can Influence Allergic Skin Reactions
