Many diseases like Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and diabetes are linked to changes to genes in the brain. A new study by UCLA life scientists has found that hundreds of those genes can be damaged by fructose in illness-promoting ways. However, the researchers discovered good news as well: An omega-3 fatty acid known as docosahexaenoic acid, or […]

Better Sleep Linked to Healthier Choices
Researchers are making a strong case that the duration and timing of your sleep are closely associated with heart health.

Too Much Fructose During Pregnancy May Lead to Heart Disease for Generations
The negative health effects of consuming large amounts of fructose during pregnancy could impact several generations, according to a new study at The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. The study found that when pregnant mice only drink fructose-sweetened watter, their offspring have several more risk factors for heart disease, compared with mice who […]
Watercress extract detoxifies carcinogens in smokers
Watercress extract taken multiple times a day significantly inhibits the activation of a tobacco-derived carcinogen in cigarette smokers, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute (UPCI) say. The phase II trial also showed that the extract detoxifies environmental carcinogens and toxicants found in cigarette smoke, and that the effect is stronger in people who […]
Pharmaeuticals from Water Ends Up in Vegetables–and Us
A new study has found that eating vegetables and fruits grown in soils irrigated with reclaimed wastewater exposes consumers to trace quantities of carbamazepine, an anti-epileptic drug commonly detected in wastewater. The “proof of concept” study points to the possibility that other pharmaceuticals may contaminate produce in a similar fashion. Fresh water scarcity worldwide has led to […]
