By now, it shouldn’t be a secret that there are specific proteins, enzymes and other coding within our bodies that can be activated to stop cancer cells dead in their tracks. Every day, more and more people (including doctors and scientists) are learning about the powers of specific foods and the role they play in our diet to both prevent and fight diseases. When it comes to cancer – which is such a widespread problem, so it naturally garners more attention – there are certain foods and compounds contained within certain foods that are thought to destroy cancer cells, along with having numerous other health benefits.

Worldwide, there are few drugs that tackle leukaemia stem cells. Continue reading

Food Fraud: what are you really buying at the supermarket?
No matter how discerning your palate, chances are you’ve been fooled a time or two when shopping for food at the supermarket. And unlike the counterfeit wallet or handbag bought on the streets of New York City, this bit of fakery is under the radar. It could have been those pricey heirloom tomatoes or that bottle of imported extra virgin olive oil. Someone, somewhere along the supply chain pulled a switcheroo. The heirlooms were really garden variety tomatoes. The extra virgin olive oil was cut with hazelnut oil or a blend of lesser quality olive oils rather than a first pressing of Mediterranean olives. You want to think you’d be able to tell the difference. But “the perpetrators aren’t designing these changes to be detected,” says Karen Everstine, a research associate at the University of Minnesota’s Food Protection and Defense Institute (FPDI) and the group’s resident food fraud expert. “And presumably, most of the time, they aren’t.”

Green Tea May Cut Heart Disease Risk
Drink is high in antioxidants which helps regulate blood pressure and body fat
Women who drank five or more cups daily had a 17 per cent lower risk of dying early if they drank
Just one cup of green tea a day could lower the risk of heart disease and premature death, according to Japanese researchers.
Their study of more than 90,000 people aged 40 to 69 over four years found that the more green tea they drank, the less likely they were to die from heart disease, stroke and respiratory disease.
Women who drank just one cup a day had a 10 per cent lower risk of dying early, but this rose to 17 per cent if they drank five or more cups daily. A similar trend was seen in men, reports Annals of Epidemiology.
One theory is that green tea is high in antioxidants called polyphenols, including EGCG, which helps regulate blood pressure and body fat. Continue reading

An Ancient Health Food Is Making A Ridiculous Comeback
America’s newest health trend is really an ancient one: Bone broth
Proponents of the savory solution say it does everything from draw out toxins to sooth digestion and erase wrinkles. New Yorkers are shelling out up to $9 for to-go cups of the stuff.
In reality, the seemingly magical elixir is really just plain old broth with one added detail: the bones used to make it are slow-roasted, a process that is supposed to draw out nutrients. Continue reading
Daniels: The Dreaded ‘D’ Word
I’ve been on vacation in Colorado since shortly after Christmas, which means that my physical activity has basically been limited to the few minutes of stretching and an hour of aerobics, which is my daily exercise regimen.
Before and after, barring the occasional day of snowmobiling, I live a much more sedentary life than I do during the touring portions of the year or even my off times at Twin Pines, where there are horses and four-wheelers to ride, hours spent hitting golf balls out into the back pasture and all kinds of recreational and non-recreational activities.

Why This Common Cooking Oil is a Cancer Nightmare
In 1956, a major cooking oil company published a series of magazine advertisements claiming that “fried foods become light foods” when vegetable oil is used in place of butter or lard. The clear message to health-savvy homemakers was that vegetable oil was a low-calorie solution to the more traditional fats they were cooking with. Millions of well-meaning cooks took the bait and made the switch, thinking their families would be better off as a result.
Fast-forward 60 years and this cooking oil marketing blitz was evidently an industry success. Vegetable oils continue to remain the go-to fat used in fried and processed foods. Marketers are still claiming that they’re better for human health than animal fats because they contain no cholesterol and aren’t saturated. But what does the latest science have to say about this vegetable oil madness? Continue reading
Low-Fiber Diets Cause Waves of Extinction in the Gut
In the decades after World War II, a one-eyed Irish missionary-surgeon named Denis Burkitt moved to Uganda, where he noted that the villagers there ate far more fiber than Westerners did. This didn’t just bulk up their stools, Burkitt reasoned; it also explained their low rates of heart disease, colon cancer, and other chronic illnesses. “America is a constipated nation,” he once said. “If you pass small stools, you have big hospitals.”
“Burkitt really nailed it,” says Justin Sonnenburg, a microbiologist at Stanford University. Sure, some of the man’s claims were far-fetched, but he was right about the value of fiber and the consequences of avoiding it. And Sonnenburg thinks he knows why: Fiber doesn’t just feed us—it also feeds the trillions of microbes in our guts. Continue reading
