First certified manuka honey launched
Thomas Henle, Head of the Institute of Food Chemistry at the Technical University of Dresden, writing in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, refers to the results of a Dresden study which “unambiguously demonstrates for the first time that Methylglyoxal is directly responsible for the antibacterial activity of manuka honey.” Prof Henle notes the high amounts of Methylglyoxal found in manuka honey have not been found in any other food. Researchers at the university analysed 40 samples of honey from various sources around the world, including six New Zealand manuka honeys. They found Methylglyoxal levels in the manuka honeys, including a Manuka Health product, were up to 1000-fold higher than in the non-manuka products. Their tests found a median Methylglyoxal level in non-manuka honeys of 3.1 mg/kg.
Two Studies Cast Further Doubt on the Effectiveness of Low GI/GL Diets ...
DENVER, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- A study published in the September 2007 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition provides further evidence that the glycemic index (GI) of a diet is not important; when it comes to weight loss it is calories that count. This study adds to the growing body of evidence supporting the health benefits of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, including potatoes, according to the United States Potato Board. Researchers from Harvard and the State University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil who worked independently from any food industry sponsors, sought to determine if a low GI diet would be more effective than a high GI diet for long-term weight loss in 203 overweight and obese women. Both diets included a mild energy restriction (i.e., 100-300 fewer calories per day) and had similar macronutrient distributions (i.e., carbohydrate, protein and fat); all that distinguished the two diets were the GIs of the foods.
Poverty Drains Nutrition From Family Diet
THURSDAY, Feb. 21 (HealthDay News) -- Members of poor households in which it is consistently hard to afford enough high-quality food end up eating nutritionally risky diets, Canadian researchers reveal. The new study is the first to show that food insecurity directly translates into poor nutrition. It also suggests that in such homes, adults and teens, rather than very young children, are the most likely to be subsisting on diets low in vitamins, minerals, fruits, vegetables, grains and meat. "Over the long term, [food insecurity] could be expected to precipitate and complicate diet-related chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease," cautioned study co-author, Sharon Kirkpatrick, a doctoral candidate in the department of nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto.
Keep Unborn Baby Healthy: Dos and Don'ts
Although there is no way to guarantee that your baby will be born 100 percent healthy, expecting mothers can take certain steps to reduce the risk of some physical and intellectual abnormalities. The National Women's Health Information Center and AVSC International, an organization that promotes reproductive health care worldwide, give some tips for pregnant women: Visit a health-care provider in the first trimester of your pregnancy, and then at regular intervals until you give birth. Contact your insurance provider or, if you don't have one, contact your local family or social services for health insurance options. Eat healthy foods. Your doctor may instruct you with some specific nutrition guidelines. Get regular physical activity.
