By replacing as little as a third of a daily serving of white rice with an equal amount of brown rice may lower the risk of type 2 diabetes. Consequently, replacing white rice with other types of whole grains can lower the risk of diabetes even more. The said study claims to be the first to specifically examine white ...

Such were the findings of a Dutch study recently released. The said finding is a result of a 10-year study that followed 35,000 adults. Results of the said study revealed that people who consumed alcohol moderately and met at least three of four conditions of a healthy lifestyle (obesity prevention, adequate exercise, not ...

He’s in last stage AD.” I’ve so often found, as Esther apparently has, that many of the conclusions or speculations about Alzheimer’s don’t apply to my mother or aunt.  Then others seem to have some bearing.  In this case, my mom didn’t drink much milk and developed Alzheimer’s.  My dad drank a great deal of milk as long as I can remember.  His mind was still very alert when he died at age 92, although physically he had deteriorated.  I don’t think my aunt drank much milk, although all three grew up on farms, so  milk was a beverage in thei...

What Taubes Proved1. Taubes proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the quality of nutritional research published in mainstream journals over the last 50 years is abysmal 2. Taubes proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Cult of Personality allowed politically powerful experts to impose their theories on the health community even when the research did not support their theories. 3. Taubes proves that the belief that eating saturated fat causes heart disease has never been well supported by the data and that cutting back on eating fat and replacing fats with carbohydrates has never been shown to reduc...

Well, for starters, we know nothing else about the weight, diets, ethnic heritage, and lifestyle of these people who ate whole grain cereal for breakfast, but it is very likely that they ate those breakfasts because the...

If you've ever tried to lose 20 lbs and failed, or if you think you are doomed because you can't lose the weight your doctor tells you you have to lose, you really need to read this book.What Kolata has done in Rethinking Thin is to summarize the findings of mainstream research into the causes and treatments for obesity. What she finds is that, as is so often the case, well-conducted research that flies in the face of what people think ought to be true gets ignored, even when it has very important messages to communicate. Even people who consider themselves scientists are unable to accept results that tell them things the...
