Nutrients Safely Boost Metabolism in Diabetic RatsSaturday, July 05, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) New concepts in the management of diabetes are taking center stage in our society because widespread dietary and lifestyle abuse has led to an epidemic of type II diabetes in children, teenagers, and young adults. The use of drugs to manipulate numbers and gene function within cells has thus far proven to be a miserable failure. Drugs do not restore health, and as a recent clinical trial proves the more aggressively they are used to treat diabetes the higher the risk for death. Pantethine is Highly Protective to Your BrainFriday, July 04, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A recent animal study showed that the nutrient pantethine protected the brain of mice from the ravages of malaria infection.

While most Americans are not too worried about contracting malaria, the method of pantethine’s operation has profound implications for the cognitive well being of all Americans. Calcium and Vitamin D for Fat BurningThursday, July 03, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study in overweight women shows that 900 mg per day of supplemental calcium increases their ability to burn fat for fuel. This ability is enhanced by vitamin D status. Train Your “Bitter Tooth” to Prevent ObesityWednesday, July 02, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Too many Americans are addicted to sweet taste and have an adversely altered taste perception.

New research in children shows that those with an increased aversion to bitter taste are six times more likely to become obese – a problem that is aggravated if their mother is also overweight. Weekends Add Pounds – Healthy Tips for the 4thTuesday, July 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) New research confirms what many of you already know: whatever weight you managed to lose during the week is gained back on the weekend, resulting in Monday morning gloom as you look at the scale. Saturdays are king of fat intake, topping all other days of the week. Stress, Genes, and the Mind/Body LinkTuesday, July 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Is it all in your head? Well, maybe not. Much of mind/body medicine has been based on observation with no clear form of proof adequate to satisfy skeptics. Researchers at Benson-Henry Institute for Mind/Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital have shown clear genetic switch differences between the relaxation response and the stress response. This is concrete scientific evidence of the mind/body link. Tocotrienols and Cancer CellsMonday, June 30, 2008 - (Byron J.
