High Fructose Corn Syrup Causes Oxidative Stress

Just to keep the medical profession aware that I am keeping track of their utter incompetence in terms of recently stating that there was not enough evidence to warn against consumption of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) – I would like to point out to them another recent study which was actually conducted to show the powerful antioxidant capabilities of cranberries.

Sluggish Thyroid Associated with Breast Cancer Risk

New research is proposing overactive thyroid is protective against breast cancer because of the extra free radicals the condition generates that induce cell death in breast cancer cells. Conversely, a sluggish thyroid would have less ability to exert such influence on cancer cells, thus the higher rate of breast cancer.

Overweight People Need Extra Antioxidants for Exercise

A new study of overweight adolescent girls shows that exercise increases free radical stress due to the inefficient utilization of extra oxygen during the exercise process. It is likely that this finding applies to anyone who is overweight. The finding is significant because overweight people are routinely told to exercise more. However, doing so in the presence of a lack of antioxidants will increase tissue damage and consequent inflammation, resulting in a poor response to exercise that is unlikely to produce fitness or weight loss.

Dairy Consumption / Whey Protein Reduces Free Radical Damage and Inflammation

It is hard to comprehend why supposed natural health writers attack dairy products. I understand that some people are allergic to dairy and need to minimize their intake or consume none. I understand that there is a quality issue, as there is with all food. I understand that some people simply do not like dairy products. However, dairy products, as part of a balanced and healthy diet, offer tremendous nutritional advantages. The latest study from The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that dairy consumption, with a focus on ensuring adequate whey protein, can reduce free radical damage and inflammatory distress in individuals with the Metabolic Syndrome.
