Skin Care :: Wrinkles and Daily Preventive Skin Care
Some daily measures for skin protection are as follows:
Oil
Alzheimer’s Disease :: Scientists Discover How Fish Oil Protects the Brain
Dr. Nicolas G. Bazan of the Louisiana State University in New Orleans, and associates at LSU and Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston, studied how docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid, affects the human brain.
Hidradenitis :: Treatment of hidradenitis suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa is primarily a disease of occlusion (obstruction) and inflammation of the apocrine (odor) sweat glands of the groin and axilla (armpit). It is similar to acne, which is a disease of the sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin. Hidradenitis develops when ducts from the apocrine glands to the skin surface become blocked, leading to a red swollen area on the skin and to the formation of cysts, infection and scarring.
Cholesterol :: What is high blood cholesterol
Too much cholesterol (ko-LES-ter-ol) in the blood, or high blood cholesterol, can be serious. People with high blood cholesterol have a greater chance of getting heart disease. High blood cholesterol itself does not cause symptoms, so many people are unaware that their cholesterol level is too high.
Prostate Cancer :: Food habits raise prostate cancer risk
Diets high in refined grain products and processed meats could raise the risk of prostate cancer risk, say Canadian researchers.
Weight Loss :: New oat-based fat substitute – Oat Z-Trim
A new fibre-based fat substitute that can reduce the fat content of baked goods by 50 per cent is to be launched in Europe by Swiss marketing group DKSH.
DHA :: Healthy new future for omega-3 grains
In a world first CSIRO Food Futures Flagship has developed plants that produce DHA, a healthy omega-3 oil component normally only available from fish sources, and vital for human health.
GI Diet :: Glycemic Index of Foods
GI values can be interpreted intuitively as percentages on an absolute scale and are commonly interpreted as follows:
Genetic Disorder :: Lorenzo’s oil for debilitating disease adrenoleukodystrophy
Treatment of boys with X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) with Lorenzo’s oil (LO) reduced their risk of developing the severe debilitating form of the disease, according to a study in the July issue of the Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.
Gallstone :: Trans fats raise gallstone risk
Trans fatty acids could ?modestly? increase the risk of gallstone disease, say US researchers, providing yet more evidence to encourage food makers to remove these fats from food formulations.
