Pills

For those of you who are not big on flavor, there is always food in pill form.  While a common detail in movies and books about the future, the ‘meal in a pill’ is actually already here, though probably not as you imagined it.

Researchers in the UK have developed a pill that provides the health benefits of eating a Mediterranean diet. According to the developers, each pill has the vitamins and minerals that you would get from eating six and a half pounds of tomatoes.

Pills such as these are considered more as vitamins than meals, and they are still in development. Realistically no one eats six pounds of tomatoes as a meal, but the potential is there, and it may only be a matter of time before you can get a roasted chicken with vegetables and desserts in pill form.

Lab-Grown Meat

Eating meat that was grown in a Petri dish probably doesn’t sound appealing, but lab-grown meat could eventually be used to replace the system we currently have for getting our burgers, sausages and steaks.

The process we use now is incredibly inefficient. Livestock need millions of pounds of grain and other food in order for them to grow to the size we expect these days, not to mention the space they take up. Lab-grown meat does not need to be fed, nor does it need acres on which to roam.

At the moment, the meat is grown from the muscle cells of pigs and grown in a serum made from cow blood. By zapping the meat with electricity and ‘exercising’ it, the meat bulks up and becomes something more along the lines of what we’re used to.

For those who aren’t ready for lab meat, you still have time.  Researchers haven’t figure the process out 100 percent, and scientists the world over are still working toward a lab-grown meat that tastes and feels like it was raised on a farm.

Vertical Farming

By 2050, around 50 percent of the world’s population will be living in urban centers, and as cities begin to take over more land, there is going to be less land to grow the food needed to feed their residents. Vertical farming solves that problem by using skyscrapers filled with floors of orchards and fields that  can produce crops throughout the entire year.

In addition to providing food, these structures would cut transport costs and pollution, as produce would no longer have to be to shipped across the country.

It would also solve many of the problems facing the agricultural operations of today. Pesticides and fungicides would barely have to be used, as they vertical farm would consist of a closed off, controlled environment.  Soil runoff and erosion wouldn’t be a factor as the plants would be grown hydroponically (a method of growing plants that uses water instead of soil). Finally, recycling techniques will ensure that only a fraction of the amount of water and nutrients.

We have the technology to create these structures, but at the moment most are still in the design stage. It’s a good bet that by 2070, these structures will be a common sight in cities across the globe.

Aquaponics

Part of the problem with most fish farming operations is the astounding quantity of resources that are required to produce just a few fish.  With aquaponics, farmers can save on water, space and plant food, not to mention the fact that it provides said farmers with both a source of protein and vegetables.

Aquaponics is a closed system of agriculture that involves both aquaculture (the farming of aquatic organisms) and hydroponics (a method of growing plants that uses water instead of soil).

Water and waste from a fish tank are piped into a large holding tank, when the tank fills that nutrient rich water then flows down into the gravel beds where the plants are growing. Those nutrients provide them with food, and in return, the plants purify and oxygenate the water so that it can be sent back into the fish tank.

The system supports itself, fits in a standard greenhouse and can be built with some PVC piping and plastic tubs. Not to mention, you make an entire meal with what you grow there.

Floating Sea-Based Fish Farms

While aquaponics systems are great for growing smaller fish that have already been cultivate in fish farms, nothing compares to the open ocean for growing fish. Realizing this, scientists have been working on building giant cages that travel throughout the ocean, protecting and grouping farmed fish for easy harvesting.

This type of farm would be better for the environment and healthier and more numerous fish. Unlike most fish farms, which are built in shallow waters and often lead to the waters in that area becoming completely contaminated by waste, an open water cage allows water to flow through, constantly removing waste and  the food that will keep fish alive.

A variety of fish would be housed in the cage, swimming with it as it traveled.  The cages even have the possibility of housing bottom dwelling crustaceans that would eat the waste produced by those fish, enabling the system to clean itself.

At this time, the cages are still in development, but researchers hope that eventually they will become the standard in fish farming, which would greatly reduce the need for coastal fish farms and make a huge difference in water quality.

Insects

Protein is a huge part of every human’s diet, but, as overfishing is depleting the fish populations and we’re running out of the space needed to maintain herds of cattle, we may have to look to alternate animals to get the protein we need to survive. That is where insects come in.

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), there are an estimated 1,462 species of edible insects.

To many, eating insects may seem more like the result of a dare than a dinner party, but people from over 90 countries have been living off the little critters for thousands of years. In addition, as more strain is put on natural resources, some experts believe that insects will be raised as an alternative form of protein, as they take up much less space and food than a cow or pig would.

A pound of cicadas or grasshoppers is just as nutritious as a pound of beef, so the next time you fire up the grill for a barbeque, it might not hurt to toss a few of them on the flames. Plus, what′s a grasshopper anyway but a tiny land lobster?

Phytoplankton

If you’ve ever gotten a mouthful of ocean or lake water, you’ve already consumed some phytoplankton. These microscopic forms of vegetation are tiny algae that float through the water, they number in the billions and have many of the vitamins and nutrients that can be found in land-based vegetation.

As single celled organisms, they reproduce by division, which means they can grow and reproduce hundreds of times faster than their land-bound relatives. Granted, you will need to eat quite a lot of them to get the same kind of fulfillment you would from a carrot or potato.

For now, phytoplankton should really only be taken as a supplement, but in the future, with some scientific intervention, it may be entirely possible that these tiny ‘plants’ could be a major food source.

Adding Nutrients to Deficient Crops

In some places, there are staple crops that grow abundantly and easily, but provide very little nutrition to the people who live off of them. The cassava root is the perfect example, it is cheap and grows in even the worst conditions but it spoils in one or two days and doesn’t provide the nutritional benefits other plants would.

Cassava is deficient in iron, zinc, vitamin A and vitamin E, but because 250 million people rely on this root as a staple crop, scientists have decided to inject it with the vitamins and minerals it would need to become a super-food.

They’ve already produced separate strains of cassava that have four times the protein, 10 times the vitamin E or eight times the zinc. At this point it is just a matter of time before they are able to put all of that into a single strain of the vegetable.

Thanks to this breakthrough, in the future it may be possible to turn any nutrient deficient food into one that can provide sustenance for millions.

Diversified Plant Strains

As the planet’s climate changes some agricultural areas will benefit by an increase in temperature and others will suffer. By diversifying plant strains farmers will be able to grow variations of the crop they are familiar with regardless of the changes in their region.

For decades, our wheat, corn and other staple crops have had variation bred out of them in favor of crops that are all almost genetically identical. By reversing all those years of homogenization, we will be able to continue to grow the resources we need despite any future changes to our climate.

These diversified crops will look and taste virtually the same as those that we are used to right now, but without them we will be faced with increasing food costs in Western countries and worsening food shortages in many developing areas.

Hybrid Fruits & Vegetables

Hybrid fruits and vegetables are already familiar items for most western shoppers. The produce sections are filled with hybrids such as the pomelo, pluot, kiwi, and even the apple.

All these hybrids are nothing new; grapefruits are an 18th-century hybrid that was originally bred in Jamaica, but as we have learned more about what it takes to create these combinations, we now have the ability to create even more interesting mixes.

As for the future, there are countless hybrids that can be created.  Much like the added nutrients of the cassava root, we can crossbreed various fruits and vegetables to provide ourselves with more of the nutrients we might need in the future.

Are ethicists’ fears of memory manipulation drugs overblown? One researcher believes so and states his case praising memory altering research in this week’s Nature commentary. CREDIT: Kreefax | Dreamstime View full size image

Memory-erasing drugs could do more than erase a bad memory; they could help treat mental ailments such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and one neuroethicist argues that these drugs should be developed and used, regardless of ethical concerns.

Though a magic bullet, erase-any-or-all-memory drug has yet to hit the market and is still decades away, scientists have made great strides in that direction, with one human trial under way for a drug called propranolol that can dampen post-traumatic-stress related negative memories. Other newly discovered brain pathways can be manipulated to ratchet memory up and down.

Neuroethicists, researchers who focus on the ethics of altering the mind, worry the drugs could easily be abused and also may create an altered humanity. These ethical concerns, however, could deter researchers and funders from advancing such drugs, says Adam Kolber, in a commentary this week in the journal Nature.

Kolber, who is a professor of law at Brooklyn Law School and editor of the Neuroethics & Law blog, suggests that we shouldn’t let these ethical dilemmas get in the way of developing memory-erasing or other memory-altering treatments.

“Delay could also hinder people who are already debilitated by harrowing memories from being offered the best hope yet of reclaiming their lives,” Kolber writes.

Tinkering with memories

Memory-dampening drugs are in the pipeline to treat addicts, victims of abuse and people suffering from PTSD, according to Kolber. But many ethicists believe they shouldn’t be developed for fear the drugs will be abused.

The President’s Council on Bioethics has said it fears such drugs would be abused, or would interfere with “our ability to lead true and honorable lives,” and undermine a person’s sense of identity, according to a statement on the topic released in October 2003.

“New psychotropic drugs create the possibility of severing the link between feelings of happiness and our actions and experiences in the world,” the council notes, suggesting that such drugs might make us lazy and less likely to better ourselves.

Many researchers, including Kolber, don’t agree that these drugs would fundamentally alter our sense of self.

Neil Levy, a researcher at Oxford University in the United Kingdom agrees with the council that our memories and our sense of self are entwined, but notes that dimming one memory shouldn’t affect our personality as a whole. “The connection is not to each and every one of our memories, so altering or erasing particular memories isn’t going to threaten our sense of self,” Levy told LiveScience in an email.

Dampening drug

The first memory-dimming drug, Propranolol, works by blocking the memory-strengthening brain chemicals. When taken after a traumatic experience, it can dampen future symptoms of PTSD.

“The effects on memory are relatively subtle,” Levy said. “It reduces the impact of traumatic memory by preventing overconsolidation. It does not erase memories.” (Consolidation is the process used by the brain to seal experiences into long-term memory.)

Kolber sees not using such drugs to speed recovery of a trauma patient to be just as threatening to a patient’s sense of self as the council suggests the drugs themselves could be. “Drugs may speed up the healing process more effectively than counseling, arguably making patients more true to themselves than they would be if a traumatic experience were to dominate their lives,” Kolber writes.

Treatment options

Non-drug treatments, such as talk therapy, can also change the brain, but people tend to worry more about drug interventions than about other, non-pharmaceutical treatments, Kolber noted. [Bad Memories Erased With Behavior Therapy]

“Drugs are viewed as special, like magic potions that can be used for good or evil. In reality, though, our memories are constantly being erased and modified over time,” Kolber said. “For some reason, though, we are more accepting of memory modification when it happens without pharmaceutical intervention.”

Would such a drug be abused, or used recklessly? Recent data from Elizabeth Loftus, a researcher at the University of California, Irvine, indicates that most people believe they wouldn’t use such a drug if it were offered to them after a traumatic episode.

“This raises the intriguing question of whether we would ever want to force people to take it for their own good and that of society’s,” Loftus told LiveScience in an email. “After all, we do that with vaccinations.”

“Iceberg, dead ahead!”

The cry that heralded the Titanic’s doom may now signal hope for thirsty people around the world, if glaciologists and engineers can somehow harness flotillas of icebergs at the frozen corners of the Earth. Such a dream took a step forward recently when a French team simulated how to tow an iceberg from the Arctic to countries that need fresh drinking water.

Ambitions for making icebergs into the world’s drinking fountains began with Saudi Prince Mohammed al Faisal in the 1970s. Al Faisal, nephew of Saudi Arabia’s King Khalid, teamed up with French engineer Georges Mougin to create an ill-fated company based on tapping iceberg water. Since 2003, Mougin has resurrected the idea with the help of computer modeling from the French company Dassault Systemes.

The recent simulations stood as virtual trial runs for Mougin’s $11.5 million (€ 8 million) plan to drag an iceberg from Greenland to the Canary Islands off the northwest coast of Africa. They showed that just one heavy-duty tugboat can make the trip in about 140 days while dragging an iceberg weighing 7 million tons — enough to meet the annual water consumption of 35,000 people.

“We created an overall virtual world, which could provide Mougin a way to simulate the iceberg transportation operation as it would happen in reality, while monitoring the fuel consumption of the tug-boat and the iceberg melt along the route of the convoy,” said Cedric Simard, project director at Dassault Systemes.

Still, towing the iceberg all that way won’t do any good if the ocean’s ravages speed up melting at the waterline. Fortunately, the simulations also suggested that a floating textile skirt almost 40 feet (12 meters) high — designed by Mougin — could protect the iceberg from such seawater erosion.

A real-world trial could take place by 2012 or 2013, Mougin said. Some tabular icebergs seen as ideal for such operations exist in Greenland, and a huge number come from Antarctica.

But first, the textile belt must be built and tested.

“Mougin is currently working on refining the design of the geotextile skirt: it all depends on the materials he will decide to use in the end,” Simard told InnovationNewsDaily.

Any venture would also have to be prepared to deal with unpredictable weather and rough seas. There is also the rare but dangerous possibility of an iceberg fracture — simulations of such a breakup suggest “total chaos” that includes waves almost 200 feet (60 meters) high.

Mougin and his team must also prove that such operations could become cost-effective ways for getting water. The $11.5 million price tag for the one-shot operation is far from that, Simard said. But he added that they could round up even bigger icebergs that could lead to a greater harvest and bring the price  down.

If the simulation can plug directly into a satellite database for real-time ocean weather tracking, it might even help future tugboat pilots safely steer with an iceberg in tow. Otherwise, Simard hopes to improve on how the simulation models the behavior of human tugboat pilots in the virtual world.

Forget X-ray glasses. A new X-ray microscope can see details a small as a billionth of a meter — without even using a lens.

Instead, the new microscope uses a powerful computer program to convert patterns from X-rays bouncing off materials into images of objects as small as a one nanometer across, on the scale of a few atoms.

Unlike Superman’s X-ray vision, which allows him to look through walls to see the bad guys beyond, the new technology could be used to look at different elements inside a material, or to image viruses, cells and tissue in great detail, said study researcher Oleg Shpyrko, a physicist at the University of California, San Diego. But one of the most important applications is in nano-sized engineering, Shpyrko said.

“We can make things at nanoscale, but we can’t see them very well,” Shpyrko told LiveScience. “So our paper pushes the characterization [of the nanomaterials] forward,” he added, referring to their research article published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Aug. 8.

Astronomers use similar programs to remove distortions from their images and even to sharpen the pictures sent back by the Hubble Space Telescope, but the nanovision technique, developed by UC San Diego graduate student Ashish Tripathi, is new. The computer program essentially unscrambles a complex pattern from X-rays bouncing off an object to form an image. [Science as Art: A Gallery]

To test the program, the researchers created a layered film made of the elements iron and gadolinium. Combined, the two magnetic materials crinkle into a series of magnetic domains that look like a maze or the ridges of fingerprints. By seeing and understanding how the materials self-assemble, you could create nanoproduction processes that are much more efficient than the current method of building materials atom-by-atom, Shpyrko said.

Understanding magnetic materials at the nanoscale could lead to better magnetic data storage, Shpyrko said.

The researchers, who conducted the study with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy, are also interested in solving other tiny mysteries with big implications. For example, Shpyrko said, batteries degrade over time, because the interface between the battery’s electrodes and electrolyte degenerates. No one understands exactly how this happens or how to fix it, he said, and it’s tough to see inside the interface to diagnose the problem. X-ray nanovision could change that.

“With this microscope, we can actually look at this very difficult interface,” Shpyrko said.

In 1998, 29 million people suddenly became overweight without gaining an ounce. That summer, the U.S. government announced new guidelines lowering the threshold of what classifies a person as overweight. Previously, if your body mass index (BMI) was less than 28 for men, or 27 for women, you were considered “normal.” Now only BMIs of 25 or below are considered healthy. (BMI is a ratio of weight to height, and is considered an indicator of how much body fat a person has.)

While our food-stuffed, exercise-starved, modern lifestyles are still the most popular scapegoats, in the future, we might also blame frequent hand-washing and cleaner water.

In experiments done on mice, researchers have found that certain intestinal bacteria can help a body suck more calories out of the same amount of food and even increase a person’s appetite. It is possible these bacteria gained prominence as we wiped out competing bacteria with antibiotics and better hygiene practices, said senior researcher Andrew Gewirtz at the Emory University School of Medicine in Georgia.

The finding does not suggest that obesity is an infectious disease — it is nearly impossible to change your intestinal helpers after the first few years, or even days, of life — so don’t expect an obesity antibiotic anytime soon.

Not everyone has succumbed to environmental changes: Skinny people do still exist. These people have won “the throw of the genetic dice,” said Susan Carnell, an obesity researcher at the Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York.

Genes likely control how easily one feels satiated, researchers are finding. People who lack the genes for a voracious appetite often don’t understand how hard it is for someone who isn’t so genetically lucky, Carnell said.

New research has shown that an unborn child may receive “epigenetic” messages in the womb about how to regulate his or her weight. Epigenetics is the idea that even if genes themselves aren’t altered, how they function can change.

Researchers at the Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center in Little Rock transferred the newborns of normal-weight and obese rat mothers, or “dams,” to the care of svelte females. Even with nearly identical genes and upbringing, only the babies from the wombs of the rotund became plump themselves.

“This occurred despite the fact that the offspring of overweight dams ate the same amount of high-fat food as the offspring of lean dams,” said study researcher Kartik Shankar in a press statement.

People judge their own weight based on that of others and, well, in the land of the obese, the overweight feel superior. Research has shown that if your friends are fat, you are more likely to join the big booty camp yourself — even if your obese pals live far away. An underlying reason might be a resetting of what you consider normal, so a scale reading above a certain point could have sent you into tears one day and barely gotten notice the next. Such findings suggest that obesity has cultural and psychological causes as well as physiological ones.

We don’t move our bodies nearly as much as our hunter-gatherer ancestors, a fact that has likely contributed to our collective weight gain. Exercise is great for maintaining weight and regulating appetite, Carnell said.

But if you want to lose a bulge, or ten, and “you are not reducing calories, just exercising, it will take a very long time to lose a single pound,” said Caroline Apovian, an obesity researcher at the Boston University School of Medicine.

“If McDonald’s didn’t exist, we’d all be a lot thinner,” Carnell said, referring to fast foods in general.

Highly palatable foods, such as those available from fast food chains, are “layered and loaded with fat, sugar and salt,” all of which, instead of satiating us, actually prompt us to continue eating, said Dr. David Kessler, former FDA commissioner and author of “The End of Overeating” (Rodale Books, 2009). Such foods cause particular excitement in areas of the brain associated with emotion and reward — much like alcohol, sex and drugs.

With sugar, salt and fat on every street corner, Kessler said, “we are living in a food carnival.” And like an over-stimulated preschooler glazing over with fatigue and irritability, our bodies are responding to the food fun house by developing insulin resistance, diabetes and systemic inflammation, which is a body-wide immune response that has been linked with health issues, including heart disease and cancer.

While genes and environment are responsible for two-thirds of the differences in people’s BMIs, the remaining third is psychological. Not only can our jam-packed lifestyles drive us to self-medicate with food, stress and lack of sleep may take an unfriendly toll on metabolism.

The U.S. food culture, or lack thereof, is also to blame, Kessler said. Unlike other developed countries, which have been slow to match our obesity rates, we put limited value on the pleasures and rituals of dining — lunch is eaten at our desks, breakfast on the commute.

Such disrespect for food likely exacerbates weight problems by leaving us perpetually unsatisfied. Tellingly, eating fast has been linked to being overweight while regular family meals are associated with a decreased risk of obesity.
