 Lack of Sleep, Stress, Adrenals, and ObesityA number of studies in the past few years have pointed out that both children and adults who do not get enough sleep each night are at much higher risk of becoming overweight and obese. The mechanisms involved with this problem are now becoming clearer. Who is Preparing Your Food?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. New Science Questions Theory of Antidepressant DrugsEva Redei, David Lawrence Stein Professor of Psychiatry at Northwestern’s Feinberg School, has presented a study that throws a monkey wrench in the scientific rationale that is used to justify giving out antidepressant medication. She has clearly demonstrated, for the first time, that genes involved with stress are different from genes involved with depression. Glial Cell Function Vital for LearningA major breakthrough in our understanding of nerve cell function opens the door for strategies to improve learning. Central to the issue is the function of the glial cells within your brain (also called astrocytes). For the very first time bi-directional communication between glial cells and nerve transmitting cells has been identified, showing how glial cells regulate learning. This discovery is of extreme importance to everyone. The New Flu Vaccine Hype is Over-RatedThe news media and our federal government are trumpeting the early release of data from H1N1 swine flu vaccine trials. The headlines would have you believe that the new vaccine is a major success. In some ways it is and in other ways it isn’t. Tamoxifen Shockingly Found to Cause Aggressive Breast CancerLong-term Tamoxifen use, as widely promoted by oncologists for women following breast cancer, turns out to increase the risk of highly aggressive hormone receptor-negative breast cancer by 440%. This means that while Tamoxifen reduces the risk for less invasive estrogen positive cancer by 60%, it is at the same time putting many women in extreme peril. Low Vitamin C Impairs Early Brain DevelopmentResearchers have found that low vitamin C in early life results in 30 per cent less hippocampal neurons and markedly worse spatial memory (animal study). The researchers demonstrated the vital importance of proper vitamin C levels, showing that even a slight lack can cause significant brain development problems. Six Months of Smoking is Adequate for Significant Brain DamageA surprising new study with MS patients shows that even a six month smoking period at any previous time in the person’s life (10 or more cigarettes per day) was associated with 17% more brain lesions compared to MS patients that never smoked. This news follows an earlier study that showed heavy smoking resulted in early onset Alzheimer’s. Immunometabolism: The New FrontierEvery now and then rather jaw-dropping research is published, as is the case this week as the journal Nature Medicine published three groundbreaking articles linking the function of immune cells to obesity and diabetes – data which opens the door to solving all kinds of health problems including the obesity issue itself, inefficient immune response to the flu in overweight individuals, as well as obesity-related autoimmune problems. Will Drinking Milk Help You Live Longer?There are plenty of people (I’m not one of them) practicing or believing in alternative health who think that drinking milk is simply bad to the bone. A new meta-analysis from 324 milk-related studies by European researchers concludes that regular milk drinking may reduce the chances of dying from illnesses such as coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke by up to 15-20 %.
