MSG Intake Linked to Human Obesity
Sunday, August 17, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The near-useless FDA has said for a long time that the ingestion of MSG was safe, and so it is used as an addictive flavor additive in countless processed and branded foods in the United States. A new study of Chinese citizens says otherwise, showing that ingestion of MSG is directly linked to obesity. Coordination, Thyroid, and ObesityFriday, August 15, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Early impairment of nerve-related function is a clear risk for developing later-life obesity, so concludes new research published in the British Journal of Medicine. Thyroid Function Closely Associated with MoodSaturday, August 09, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) New imaging technology is enabling researchers to understand the relationship of thyroid function and just how well your brain works. Eggs for Breakfast Helps Weight LossWednesday, August 06, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows that men and women who eat two eggs for breakfast lose 65% more weight than those who have a bagel breakfast of equal calories. Obesity and the Pleasure of FoodTuesday, August 05, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Low levels of dopamine in your brain will cause you to eat more food so that you feel good. New research shows that obese animals have half the dopamine levels of normal, and it took much more stimulation to get an adequate release of pleasure. Protect Your Bones During Weight LossSaturday, August 02, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) There is a right way to lose weight and a wrong way. The wrong way is to go on a starvation low-calorie diet and induce the leptin starvation response. When this happens you lose bone mass and weight, and you are much more likely to gain the weight back later. New research shows that the jolt to your bones may continue even after the weight loss has stopped. Obesity Costs and TrendsFriday, August 01, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Several rather sobering studies were published this week regarding the costs of obesity and its current trend. Body Fat is a Direct Indicator of Oxidative StressWednesday, July 30, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) As your body fat goes up inflammation increases in your body, in turn generating excessive free radical damage. That is the conclusion of a new study measuring these relationships in women age 35-50. Undoubtedly, this data holds true for any overweight person of any age. B Vitamins Reduce Obesity PronenessMonday, July 28, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A novel animal study has shown that nutrition can influence the ways genes are expressed during pregnancy, so that the newborn is less likely to become obese. This study has far reaching implications for public health because right now many overweight mothers are predisposing their children to be overweight through improper gene programming. Appetite Drives Obesity in ChildrenThursday, July 17, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study closely tracks the relationship of appetite to the development of obesity in children, hoping to shed light on why some kids don’t get fat and others do. The researchers found that as a child’s waistline gets larger, the full signal is blunted or delayed and the desire for food intake increases. Carnosine Helps Fat MetabolismTuesday, July 15, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows that carnosine promotes the normal function of nerves to stimulate the breakdown of fat via histamine receptors. 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. 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. On the flip side of this coin is a more neutral reaction to bitter-tasting vegetables. 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. Obesity, Immunity, and Premature DeathFriday, June 27, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It is convenient for modern medicine to separate a patient’s problems into neatly divided specialty areas so that problems can be micro-analyzed by various specialists. This is convenient for treating, diagnosing, referring, and drug dispensing. This system generates income for the sickness industry but it often fails to understand the highly integrated nature of any problem you may be having. Waist to Height Ratio – Is your Stomach Too Large?Thursday, June 26, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new simple way to judge waistline size and health has emerged that applies to children, adults, and either sex. The goal is to keep your waist size to less than ½ your height. Just figure out your height in inches and divide by two. Does Low Leptin Doom Dieting?Sunday, June 22, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The drug industry is doing everything in its power to get leptin drugs on the market for some type of widespread weight-loss angle. The problem is that such drugs don’t work, because just about everyone who is overweight makes too much leptin. This was apparent back in 2002 when there were only 5000 leptin studies, now there are 14,000. Consumer beware – researchers paid by Big Pharma are actively and intentionally creating a twisted misrepresentation relating to how leptin works, solely to sell drugs. AMA Condones High Fructose Corn SyrupSaturday, June 21, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Embarrassingly, the AMA has voted in defense of high fructose corn syrup, making its entire organization look like a ship of fools. Regular Aerobics Decreases Appetite, Boosts BrainWednesday, June 18, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Researchers documented that a potent brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) was significantly boosted by 3 months of aerobic exercise – and the higher its level the less a person wants to eat and the greater their weight loss. This is the first time BDNF levels have been linked to appetite suppression – a significant finding. Hunger Hormone Helps Alleviate Stress and DepressionMonday, June 16, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) In a strange twist of events your stomach’s hunger hormone, ghrelin, may help to protect you against stress-induced anxiety and depression. This “gift” of protection comes at a price – eating too much food in response to stress. This new information shows just how powerful stress eating can be, as this type of survival signaling is wired to your core subconscious brain. Lack of Sleep Causes Excess Carbohydrate ConsumptionThursday, June 12, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Fail to get enough restful sleep and the next day you will crave and eat too many carbohydrates – even getting drawn into the evil of snacking. High Protein Meals Reduce AppetiteMonday, June 09, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Studies detailing the effects of protein on rat brain neuro-circuitry have shown that higher protein meals increase your subconscious brains satiety signals, helping you feel full. Dairy Prevents Bone Loss During Weight LossFriday, June 06, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A diet of lean protein and low fat dairy, along with vegetables and fruit, was able to stop bone loss during weight loss – something that our government’s food pyramid guidelines could not do. Study participants consume 30% of their calories from protein, while the food pyramid recommends only 10% of calories from protein. Sugar Addiction Drives Childhood ObesityWednesday, June 04, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It’s obvious to just about anyone that excess sugar consumption makes you fat. Now we even have data to prove that excessive sugar consumption, mostly from sweetened drinks like soda, is up at a rate that would require a 1 hour jog per day just to burn of the extra calories.
