Drinking hot tea may cause throat cancer, Iranian researchers said Friday, suggesting people should let steaming drinks cool before consuming them. 
Eating Red and Processed Meat Associated with Increased Risk of Death

Individuals who eat more red meat and processed meat appear to have a modestly increased risk of death from all causes and also from cancer or heart disease over a ten-year period, according to a new article. In contrast, a higher intake of white meat appeared to be associated with a slightly decreased risk for overall death and cancer death.
Diet Rich in Calcium Aids Weight Loss in People with Calcium-Deficient Diets

Boosting calcium consumption spurs weight loss, according to a study published in the most recent issue of the British Journal of Nutrition, but only in people whose diets are calcium deficient.
Red Wine or White? Both Equal Offenders in Breast-Cancer Risk

The largest study of its kind to evaluate the effect of red versus white wine on breast-cancer risk concludes that both are equal offenders when it comes to increasing breast-cancer risk. The results of the study, led by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, were published in the March issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention.
Drugs from Vegetables May Target Melanoma Tumors

A drug based on isothiocyanates extracted from cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cabbage could offer a potent and safe treatment against melanoma, Penn State College of Medicine researchers say.
Recent mouse model experiments found that treatments involving both isothiocyanates and selenium reduced tumor growth by about sixty percent by interfering with a protein called Akt3.
The specific drug used in these tests was not an isothiocyanate, but a construct called isoselenocyanate
Not so sweet: Over-consumption of sugar linked to aging

We know that lifespan can be extended in animals by restricting calories such as those gleaned from sugar intake. Now, according to a study published in the journal PLoS Genetics, Université de Montréal scientists have discovered that it's not the sugar itself that is important in this process but the ability of cells to sense its presence.
Aging is a complex phenomenon and the mechanisms underlying it have yet to be explained. What researchers do know is that there is a clear relationship between aging and calorie intake
Influence of obesity gene can be offset by healthy diet

Children who carry a gene strongly associated with obesity could offset its effect by eating a low-energy-density diet, according to new research from UCL (University College London) and the University of Bristol published today in PLoS ONE.
The study, based on data from a sample of 2275 children from the Bristol-based ALSPAC study (Children of the 90s) provides evidence that people might be able to avoid becoming obese if they adopt a healthier diet with a low energy density – even those who carry the FTO gene, identified as being a high risk gene for obesity
Obesity Gene Involved in Weight Gain Response to High-Fat Diet Identified
piggy submitted, created time 1 year 3 weeks (www.sciencedaily.com)
Scientists have determined that a specific gene plays a role in the weight-gain response to a high-fat diet.
The finding in an animal study suggests that blocking this gene could one day be a therapeutic strategy to reduce diet-related obesity and associated disorders, such as diabetes and liver damage, in humans.
The researchers found that a diet rich in fat induced production of this gene, called protein kinase C beta (PKC beta), in the fat cells of mice. These mice rapidly gained weight while eating a high-fat diet for twelve weeks.
New lab evidence suggests preventive effects of herbal supplement in prostate cancer
piggy submitted, created time 1 year 1 month (www.eurekalert.org)
DHEA is a natural circulating hormone and the body's production of it decreases with age. Men take DHEA as an over-the-counter supplement because it has been suggested that DHEA can reverse aging or have anabolic effects since it can be metabolized in the body to androgens. Increased consumption of dietary isoflavones is associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer. Red clover (Trifolium pretense) is one source of isoflavones. Both supplements may have hormonal effects in the prostate and little is known about the safety of these supplements
Novel Benefits of Fatty Acids in Arteries Shown

New research from Columbia University Medical Center continues to shed light on the benefits of making fish a staple of any diet. It seems that a diet rich in fish-provided omega-3 fatty acids can prevent buildup of fat in the aorta.
Food and memory: Does less of one mean more of the other?
Darkfrog submitted, created time 1 year 1 month (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)
This writeup in Science magazine discusses the possibility that extremely low-calorie diets may improve memory (or at least diminish fuzziness), particularly among the elderly. All of the participants in this trial were over sixty and--possibly significantly--already overweight.
I wonder if caloric restriction would have the same memory-improving effects on people who were not already overweight. Perhaps it is approaching one's ideal weight that does the trick.
On a High-Fat Diet, Protective Gene Variant Becomes Bad Actor
sea-maid submitted, created time 1 year 2 months (www.sciencedaily.com)
New evidence in mice bolsters the notion that a version of a gene earlier shown to protect lean people against weight gain and insulin resistance can have the opposite effect in those who eat a high-fat diet and are heavier, reveals a report in the January 7th issue of the journal Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press publication
New Weapon to Fight Cholesterol Problems
sea-maid submitted, created time 1 year 2 months (www.sciencedaily.com)
Researchers at Northwestern University have found a way to create synthetic high-density lipoprotiens (HDL), which may have a huge impact on the way doctors help their patients control cholesterol. These are the types of lipoproteins, so-called "good lipoproteins," that carry cholesterol out of the blood.
But the synthetic high-density lipoproteins aren't perfect copies. They're based on gold nanoparticles.
Single gene fuels overeating risk

Scientists have produced more evidence that carrying the wrong variant of a single gene can raise the risk of overeating and obesity.
How Certain Vegetables Combat Cancer

Women should go for the broccoli when the relish tray comes around during holiday celebrations this season.
While it has been known for some time that eating cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage, can help prevent breast cancer, the mechanism by which the active substances in these vegetables inhibit cell proliferation was unknown — until now
