January 20, 2010 – 9:02 am

George Brewer MD, from the University of Michigan Medical School, has indicated:

“This story of copper and iron toxicity, which I think is reaching the level of public health significance, is virtually unknown to the general medical community, to say nothing of complete unawareness of the public …”

Blueberries. “… sources of healthful antioxidants and other so-called phytochemicals …”

January 20, 2010 – 8:54 am

Researchers from University of Cincinnati have indicated “… that previous studies in laboratory animals suggest that eating blueberries may help boost memory in the aged. Until now, however, there had been little scientific work aimed at testing the effect of blueberry supplementation on memory in people.’

Antioxidant intakes. “… antioxidant intakes by a free-living population have not yet been estimated adequately.”

December 27, 2009 – 11:39 pm

“The importance of antioxidants in reducing risks of chronic diseases has been well established; however, antioxidant intakes by a free-living population have not yet been estimated adequately.”¹

Researchers from Department of Nutritional Sciences, University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut; Department Foods and Nutrition, Kookmin University, Seoul, Korea; Department of Food and Nutrition, Ansan College, Ansan, Korea; and Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan; have presented an article titled: “Estimation of Antioxidant Intakes from Diet and Supplements in U.S. Adults.”

The researchers from Storrs, Seoul, Ansan and East Lansing; have also noted:

“In this study, we aimed to estimate total antioxidant intakes from diets and supplement sources in the U.S. population.”
“The USDA Flavonoid Database, food consumption data, and dietary supplement use data of 8809 U.S. adults aged >/=19 y in NHANES 1999-2000 and 2001-2002 were used in this study.”
“Daily total antioxidant intake was 208 mg vitamin C (46 and 54% from diets and supplements, respectively), 20 mg alpha-tocopherol (36 and 64), 223 mug retinol activity equivalents carotenes (86 and 14), 122 mug selenium (89 and 11), and 210 mg flavonoids (98 and 2).”
“Antioxidant intakes differed among sociodemographic subgroups and lifestyle behaviors.”
“Energy-adjusted dietary antioxidant intakes were higher in women, older adults, Caucasians, nonconsumers of alcohol (only for vitamin C and carotenes), nonsmokers (only for vitamin C, vitamin E, and carotenes), and in those with a higher income and exercise level (except for flavonoids) than in their counterparts (P < 0.05).”
“Consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains may be a good strategy to increase antioxidant intake.”
“The possible association between antioxidant intake and the prevalence of chronic diseases should be investigated further.”

Thiocyanate. Antioxidant. “… mystery why a defect in a chloride-transporting channel leads to cystic fibrosis, a disease with exaggerated inflammation in both the lungs and the digestive system.”

November 16, 2009 – 2:00 pm

Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have indicated ‘… that a dietary antioxidant found in such vegetables as broccoli and cauliflower protects cells from damage caused by chemicals generated during the body’s inflammatory response to infection and injury. The finding has implications for such inflammation-based disorders as cystic fibrosis (CF), diabetes, heart disease, and neurodegeneration.’

November 3, 2009 – 9:45 pm

Epidemiologists from Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions have indicated that ‘… they now have evidence that having lower levels of heart-clogging fat may cut a man’s risk of this form of cancer by nearly 60 percent.’

Fried foods. Glycotoxins. Heat-processing. “This suggests that oxidants may play a more active role than genetics in overwhelming our body’s defenses, which we need to fight off disease.”

November 3, 2009 – 9:44 pm

Helen Vlassara MD, Professor and Director of the Division of Experimental Diabetes and Aging from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine has said:

“What is noteworthy about our findings is that reduced AGE consumption proved to be effective in all study participants, including healthy persons and persons who have a chronic condition such as kidney disease …”
“This suggests that oxidants may play a more active role than genetics in overwhelming our body’s defenses, which we need to fight off disease.”
“It has been said that nature holds the power, but the environment pulls the trigger.”
“The good news is that unlike genetics, we can control oxidant levels, which may not be an accompaniment to disease and aging, but instead due to the cumulative toxic influence of AGEs …”

Inosine. “… nutritional supplement known to raise urate levels …”

October 14, 2009 – 6:52 pm

According to a Release from the University of Rochester Medical Center:

“Meanwhile, the team led by Schwarzschild is conducting a new study funded by the Michael J. Fox Foundation to determine the safety of using inosine, a nutritional supplement known to raise urate levels, in patients. Until more is known, physicians caution Parkinson patients not to take inosine in an effort to slow the disease. The study is being coordinated by Rochester’s Clinical Trials Coordination Center.”
