Tratar el acné con bérberos

¿Qué pasa cuando la fruta deshidratada con mayor poder antioxidante es puesta a prueba en un ensayo clínico aleatorizado doble ciego contra el acné moderado a severo?



El movimiento por los alimentos saludables: la fuerza está en la unidad

Recientemente la industria del tabaco se ha centrado en dividir y controlar estrategias para crear cismas dentro del movimiento de control del tabaco. Nosotros, dentro de la comunidad de alimentos saludables, podemos aprender de esto que debemos mantenernos unidos y no permitir que pequeñas diferencias de opinión nos distraigan del objetivo primordial.



Contaminantes ignífugos y el desarrollo infantil

Los químicos ignífugos PBDE en el suministro de comida podrían contribuir al déficit cognitivo y de atención en niños.



Leche de fórmula para la obesidad infantil

Dar leche de fórmula de vaca a los niños puede afectar negativamente a la programación metabólica.



Prevenir el asma con frutas y verduras

Un estudio que involucra más de un millón de niños sugiere que la sorprendente variación a nivel mundial en las tasas de alergias, asma y eccema, está relacionada con la dieta.



Los niños de California están contaminados

Los niveles de arsénico, pesticidas prohibidos, y dioxinas, excedieron los niveles de referencia de cáncer en cada uno de los 364 niños evaluados. ¿Qué alimentos fueron las principales fuentes de contaminantes tóxicos para los pre-escolares y sus padres?



Dietary Sources of Alkylphenol Endocrine Disruptors

Foods of animal origin (especially fish) appear to be the most important source of human exposure to industrial pollutants such as alkylphenol xenoestrogens.



Counteracting the Effects of Dioxins Through Diet

Phytonutrients in certain plant foods may block the toxic effects of industrial pollutants, like dioxins, through the Ah receptor system.



Riesgo de cáncer de mama: vino tinto vs. vino blanco

Cambios modestos en el estilo de vida que incluyan evitar el alcohol pueden reducir a la mitad las probabilidades de padecer cáncer de mama, pero algunas uvas parecen contener inhibidores naturales de aromatasa que pueden reducir la habilidad de los tumores de mama de producir su propio estrógeno.



Estrogenic Cooked-Meat Carcinogens

DNA-damaging chemicals, formed when meat is cooked, stimulate breast cancer cells almost as much as pure estrogen, and can infiltrate the ducts where most breast cancers arise.



Side Effect of Fenugreek Consumption

Fenugreek seeds may protect against cancer and improve muscle mass, but they can make your armpits smell like maple syrup.



The Wrong Way to Detox

The reason birth order is a predictor of pollutant levels in the bodies of children is that women can pass along as much as half of their PCB burden to their fetus during pregnancy.



The Best Baby Formula

Exclusive breastfeeding for a full six months may, ironically, improve our children’s taste for vegetables—whereas children fed formula grow up with increased rates of inflammatory diseases such as asthma, cancer, and diabetes.



How Fast Can Children Detoxify from PCBs?

Based on the half-life of industrial pollutants children may be exposed to in the womb or at the breast, how many years does it take for them to detoxify their bodies (assuming they’re brought up on a healthy diet)?



Food Sources of Flame-Retardant Chemicals

Other than pet food and fish (which may be most contaminated), how do fire-retardant chemicals (PBDEs) and polychlorinated naphthalenes (PCNs) concentrate in the American food supply?



Chamomile Tea May Not Be Safe During Pregnancy

For the same reason aspirin should be avoided in pregnancy, chamomile has such powerful anti-inflammatory properties that regular consumption may result in a serious fetal heart problem—premature constriction of the fetal ductus arteriosus, which allows the fetus to “breathe” in the womb.



Cow’s Milk-Induced Infant Apnoea

The opiate-like effects of the casomorphin in cow’s milk may have a depressive effect on the respiratory center of infants, and lead to “milk apnea,” in which babies temporarily stop breathing, and are placed at risk for sudden infant death syndrome (crib death).



Asparagus Pee

Young infants, and perhaps those with recurrent oxalate kidney stones, should avoid beets. But most commonly, the chief side effect is beeturia, the harmless passage of pink urine, though not all are affected—akin to the malodorous urine (“stinky pee”) that sometimes results from asparagus consumption.



New Vitamin B12 Test

Who should get tested for vitamin B12 (cobalamin) deficiency, and which is the best test to use: serum B12, methylmalonic acid (MMA), or holotranscobalamin levels?



Pregnant Vegans at Risk for Iodine Deficiency

Disinfectants used to sanitize cow udders may provide a source of iodine for dairy consumers, but can also increase the concentration of pus in milk from cows with staph infection mastitis.



American Vegans Placing Babies at Risk

Vitamin B12 is an imperative for those eating vegetarian and vegan diets, especially during pregnancy and infancy.



Did a Vegan Diet Kill This Baby?

Vitamin B12 deficiency can be life-threatening.



El poder antioxidante de los alimentos vegetales versus los alimentos de origen animal

En promedio, los alimentos vegetales tienen 64 veces más poder antioxidante que la carne roja, las aves, el pescado, los productos lácteos y los huevos, pero ¿es ésta una comparación justa?



Contaminación Química de los retardaste de combustión

Una forma de desintoxicar el cuerpo de contaminantes industriales que se encuentran en el suministro de alimentos.
