In a recent study it came as a surprise to researchers when they found that sucrose and high fructose corn syrup elevated blood triglycerides much higher than did fructose over a 24-hour period.  This little problem throws a monkey wrench in the idea that all simple sugars are more or less the same.  It explains one main contributor to obesity and heart disease.

Thursday, May 08, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN)

Most people think of bone issues in terms of osteoporosis or concerns about breaking them, which are important issues as something like a hip fracture can lead to an increased rate of mortality.  However, bones are now recognized as a metabolic powerhouse intimately involved with cardiovascular health, diabetes risk, immunity, inflammation, and metabolism.  This started becoming obvious a few years back when “all cause mortality” was linked to bone health.

Science is proving what most women already know; that leisure time physical activity boosts your mood compared to the same amount of physical energy spent at work or doing chores.


Mayo Clinic Jumps On the Fish Oil Bandwagon

Friday, May 02, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN)

Miracles never cease and it appears that the Mayo Clinic is trying to enter the 21st century with at least a finger on the nutritional pulse of reality.  My cursory review of their website found them woefully lacking even the basic ideas of what really works on most health topics – but at least they have come out and stated that fish oil is a terrific nutrient for the prevention and treatment of heart disease.

Mitochondria Take Center Stage

Sunday, April 27, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN)

Researchers at Texas A & M University have discovered that it is the mitochondria that signals the DNA to initiate cell division.  This profound discovery means that protecting and energizing mitochondria just became a topic of immense proportion – if you would like to be healthy and live longer.


Basic Vitamins Reduce Tuberculosis Recurrence

Sunday, April 27, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN)

TB continues as an international problem.  There are only 14,000 cases per year in the U.S., disproportionately affecting those born in other countries and minorities.  A new study shows that treating TB patients with basic nutrients: vitamin A, B-complex, C, E, and selenium reduced the recurrence of TB by 45% - a rather stunning finding.
