8000 IUs of vitamin D daily necessary to raise blood levels of "miracle" anti-cancer nutrient, declares groundbreaking new research

Thu, 03 Mar 2011 15:23:21 +0000

Serum 25(OH)D rose as a function of self-reported vitamin D supplement ingestion in a curvilinear fashion, with no intakes of 10,000 IU/d or lower producing 25(OH)D values above the lower-bound of the zone of potential toxicity (200 ng/ml). Unsupplemented all-source input was estimated at 3,300 IU/d. The supplemental dose ensuring that 97.5% of this population achieved a serum 25(OH)D of at least 40 ng/ml was 9,600 IU/d.

'Pathway' Leading to Health Declines of Aging Identified

Fri, 11 Feb 2011 14:25:53 +0000

Mouse study found malfunctioning ends of chromosomes cause host of age-related health problems. The accumulation of damaged DNA causes cells to activate a gene called p53, which tells cells to either rest until the damage can be repaired or to self-destruct.

NSAID Use Selectively Increases the Risk of Non-Fatal Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review of Randomised Trials and Observational Studies

Thu, 10 Feb 2011 16:13:22 +0000

Recent clinical trials and observational studies have reported increased coronary events associated with non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). There appeared to be a disproportionate increase in non-fatal versus fatal events, however, numbers of fatal events in individual studies were too small, and event rates too low, to be meaningful.

Gastrointestinal transit, post-prandial lipaemia and satiety following 3 days high-fat diet in men

Thu, 03 Feb 2011 05:46:55 +0000

This study shows that changes in GI transit owing to an HF diet can occur in a time period as short as 3 days. The HF intervention reduced triglycerides, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Annotations:

The HF intervention reduced triglycerides, total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and increased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Protective Properties of Green Tea Uncovered

Wed, 02 Feb 2011 04:22:46 +0000

Regularly drinking green tea could protect the brain against developing Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, according to latest research by scientists at Newcastle University.

Annotations:

“What was really exciting about this study was that we found when green tea is digested by enzymes in the gut, the resulting chemicals are actually more effective against key triggers of Alzheimer’s development than the undigested form of the tea,”
“In addition to this, we also found the digested compounds had anti-cancer properties, significantly slowing down the growth of the tumor cells which we were using in our experiments.”
