Quercetin Reduces the Risk of Pancreatic Cancer
Tuesday, October 16, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Research published in the American Journal of Epidemiology shows that quercetin intake directly lowers the risk of pancreatic cancer. Quercetin is a unique bioflavanoid that is available as a dietary supplement and is high in onions and apples. Dietary Supplements Improve Cognitive Development in ChildrenWednesday, October 10, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) European researchers have demonstrated that a multiple vitamin and DHA (fish oil) given regularly to children significantly boosts their learning power and cognitive performance. Who is Preparing Your Food?Sunday, October 07, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new animal study poses a whole new set of health questions. Mice lacking immune competence in their digestive tract rapidly breed hostile bacteria that cause ulcerative colitis. Once developed, the hostile bacteria are readily passed on to other mice. Corn is No Longer Safe to EatThursday, October 04, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The FDA is near completely inept at doing its job of protecting consumers – and China is not the main problem – its United States companies who are forever altering the nature of the food supply by inserting toxic genes into every cell of food. Their game if profit. Human health is of little concern. Temperature Drop Shocks the ThyroidWednesday, September 26, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Northern areas of the United States are experiencing significantly swinging temperatures, a form of stress that sends the thyroid for a loop. Thyroid hormone adjusts itself once every seven days (the half life of the hormone). When daytime high temperatures vary 25 – 40 degrees over a period of a few days, the thyroid system really struggles to keep up. Insulin Treatment for Type II Diabetics FailsFriday, September 21, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The New England Journal of Medicine published a study that was supposed to prove what drug strategy for diabetics works the best. The study participants took several common diabetes drugs along with varied insulin treatments (once, twice, or three times per day). The researchers were disappointed to find out that none of their strategies worked. The researchers appeared confused – unable to explain why their study didn’t work. NAC Reduces Gambling AddictionTuesday, September 18, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A preliminary study conducted at the University of Minnesota shows that pathological gamblers are significantly helped by the antioxidant nutrient N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC). The study was conducted based on the notion that NAC modulates glutamate, a neurologic compound that can become an excitotoxin under various circumstances and lead to abnormal brain activation. Cranberry – An All Purpose Anti-BacterialTuesday, September 18, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Well now we know it must be true – even the Wall Street Journal is reporting the powerful anti-bacterial properties of cranberry extracts. Long used as a proven folk remedy to treat urinary tract infections, scientists are now fascinated with the ability of cranberry proanthocyanadins to prevent infections from “sticking” to human cells. Vitamin C and NAC Slow the Spread of CancerTuesday, September 11, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) New research shows that Vitamin C and NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) significantly inhibited the spread of lymphoma or prostate cancer cells that were implanted in mice. Scientists had previously believed that the ability of antioxidants to protect against cancer was mainly due to protecting the DNA of cells from damage. In this new study it was proven that these antioxidants actually worked by preventing cancer cells from replicating. Food Additives and Artificial Colors Induce ADHD BehaviorSaturday, September 08, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Children are irritating and injuring their brains with commonly consumed garbage, that is the meaning of a study recently published in the Lancet. One culprit is sodium benzoate, a preservative used in soda and other beverages. Another culprit is artificial food coloring. It is interesting to note that when the FDA was given some real regulatory power in 1939 the first thing they did was allow artificial food coloring into the food supply. These chemical additives are derived from coal tar and made by the German drug companies like Bayer and BASF. In the first year 39 million tons of these poisons were used in our food, a number which has grown ever since. Probiotics Lower Colon Cancer Risk FactorsWednesday, September 05, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The health of the digestive tract is the foundation of health for any person. There are more foreign cells in the digestive tract than comprise the entire human body. Imbalances in the 3-5 pounds of foreign cells that comprise this digestive terrain are the cause of many health problems, including colon cancer... Coenzyme Q10 Remarkably Improves CirculationMonday, September 03, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new double-blind randomized controlled study tested 300 mg of Coenzyme Q10 per day in patients with heart disease to see if it could improve their circulation and antioxidant defense system. Researchers called the results “remarkable” in terms of the ability of Q10 to restore faulty antioxidant defense systems in the circulation, particularly in those with the greatest health problems. There was a significant improvement in vascular relaxation in the Q10 group, showing that Q10 is a highly superior nutrient in supporting heart health. Back to School - DHA for the Eyes and BrainWednesday, August 29, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Recent research continues to prove what has been known for many years, that DHA is a vital nutrient in the development of proper eyesight, cognitive function, and learning. It is especially important for a mother to consume DHA during pregnancy and while nursing. If a mother isn’t nursing then a DHA-fortified formula is mandatory. Molecularly distilled DHA is the preferred source as there is no mercury which may be present in fish that are the primary source of dietary DHA. The brain is one of the fattiest organs in the body and will build its structure out of whatever types of fat are in the diet. Imagine the ability of a brain made of French fries, potato chips, corn chips, and other junk food... Soda Poison – Time to Ban High Fructose Corn SyrupSaturday, August 25, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) New research shows that the high fructose corn syrup used in soda pop is not only a lot of sugar, IT IS TOXIC TO HUMAN HEALTH. It took ignorant public health officials two decades to figure out trans fats were really as bad as was obvious. How long will it take this time? Cruciferous Vegetables Cut Prostate Cancer Risk in HalfThursday, August 23, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Yale researchers have determined that men who eat half a cup of broccoli or cauliflower per week are half as likely to develop the deadly form of prostate cancer. This information comes from the 29,000 men participating in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial. Add Cranberry to the Anti-Cancer ArsenalWednesday, August 22, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) New research shows that ovarian cancer cells pretreated with exposure to cranberry extract rich in antioxidants enabled chemo drugs to kill the cancer cells six times more effectively than untreated cells...Cranberry by itself also showed the ability to reduce and prevent the spreading of some types of cancer cells... Natural Vitamin E Dramatically Reduces Heart DiseaseTuesday, August 14, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled cardiovascular study evaluating natural vitamin E, synthetic vitamin C, and synthetic beta-carotene has shown that natural vitamin E reduced cardiovascular death or serious cardiovascular disease by a statistically significant 13%, the primary end point of the study. Natural vitamin E also showed improvement in secondary end points, including a 22% reduction in heart attacks, a 27% reduction in strokes (31% when combined with vitamin C), and a 9% reduction in cardiovascular death. These results for natural vitamin E are nothing short of astounding as they used the gold standard of human testing! Blueberries for Your BrainFriday, August 10, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) United States Department of Agriculture scientists are conducting some rather interesting animal experiments with blueberry extracts. In one experiment they fed blueberry extracts to middle-aged mice that were already developing brain plaque (similar to early onset Alzheimer’s). The blueberry did not get rid of the plaque, rather it improved brain function so that the blueberry fed rats had similar cognitive abilities to mice with no brain plaques and significantly better cognitive function than mice with brain plaques who were not fed blueberry extract.... The Consumer Demand Weapon Scores a VictoryMonday, August 06, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Monsanto, a company famous for its lead role in using synthetic growth hormone to boost milk production, the toxic sweetener aspartame, the alteration of our food supply with genetically modified trash masquerading as food, and poisoning the entire world with PCBs may have finally seen the beginning of the end. Monsanto has hoodwinked and bought off the FDA and EPA for years. But now consumer preferences are causing big changes.... Caffeine and Exercise May Reduce Skin CancerWednesday, August 01, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) An intriguing mouse experiment has shown that the combination of moderate caffeine with consistent exercise increases the ability of the mouse to kill UVB light-induced skin cancer cells by 376%... Blueberries May Protect Against Colon CancerThursday, July 26, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A recent animal study shows that a novel component in blueberries called pterostilbene reduced colon cancer by 57%. Pterostilbene is also known to specifically enhance the metabolism of cholesterol and triglycerides, thus promoting health in a variety of different ways... The Gross Negligence of Over-Medicating ChildrenWednesday, July 25, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study documents that giving speed to children to treat ADD or ADHD stunts growth and development. After three years on these commonly prescribed drugs children have failed to gain ¾ inch in height and almost 6 pounds of weight. Furthermore, this ground is not made up if the drug is discontinued – meaning that the loss of growth is a permanent adverse affect of the medication. Thanks mom and dad... Triglycerides and Cardiovascular DiseaseThursday, July 19, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Several new studies published in JAMA show that the nonfasting level of triglycerides is a dramatic predictor of cardiovascular disease. Two points are important... Did Monsanto, General Electric, Westinghouse, and Bayer cause a generation of children with ADD?Monday, July 02, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) There is no debate that Monsanto created an industrial toxin called a PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl), and with the help of major license holders such as GE, Westinghouse, and Bayer produced over 1.5 billion pounds of PCBs, an environmental disaster which is now directly linked to the cause of learning disabilities and ADD in children... Antidepressant Medication is Linked to Increased Bone LossThursday, June 28, 2007 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) SSRI medication (Prozac, Paxil and Zoloft) has been linked by three recent studies to a significant increase in the rate of bone loss in individuals over 50 taking these medications, including an increased risk of fracture.
