Nutritional Medicine Health News Archives:Toddler diet influences adolescent test scores - Toddlers fed a wide variety of foods may have a long-term academic edge over children fed more restricted diets, researchers conclude. Eating a varied diet at age two had a strong effect on children's performance on achievement and cognitive tests at age 11. According to Mendez, numerous studies have suggested that children fed diets consisting of only a few types of food are more likely to be deficient in specific 'micronutrients' such as iron or zinc.- Experimental Biology 2000 conference Bone loss resumes when calcium intake drops - To maintain strong, healthy bones, you need to make a "lifetime commitment" to getting enough calcium, warn experts from the US Department of Agriculture (USDA). They report that bone loss associated with aging climbs to pre-therapy levels soon after calcium supplements are abandoned - Experimental Biology 2000 conference Glucosamine supplements may raise diabetes risk and may contribute to insulin resistance in diabetics or those at risk for the disease, researchers report. Insulin resistance -- a decrease in the body's response to the blood sugar-regulating hormone insulin -- is a condition that is a precursor to type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes -- Experimental Biology 2000 conference. High-fiber diet may not prevent colon cancer - A low-fat, high-fiber diet is often recommended as a way of preventing polyps in the lining of the colon -- growths associated with an increased risk of colon cancer. But new research casts doubt on this oft-repeated advice - The New England Journal of Medicine 2000 vol 342 Iron levels linked to stroke damage - People with high levels of iron in their bodies may be at higher risk for severe damage to the brain after a stroke, according to study results released Monday. Researchers suspect that increased iron levels lead to greater brain damage by increasing the formation of molecules called free radicals, which can damage cells. In addition, high levels of iron can promote the release of glutamate, a brain chemical involved in the death of brain cells. In the study, glutamate levels were highest in people with progressing stroke - Neurology, the journal of the American Academy of Neurology, April 25, 2000. Water: a new blood pressure drug - For people with low blood pressure, a simple glass of water may be all they need to raise their level to normal. A new study found 16 ounces of tap water can raise blood pressure in people who have certain dysfunctions of the autonomic nervous system which cause low blood pressure. Water was also found to have blood pressure raising effects in older people with high blood pressure. These findings may lead scientists to a new and more effective treatment for blood pressure abnormalities. By drinking water at various times throughout the day, patients with autonomic failure may be able to function better --- Feb. 10, 2000, Ivanhoe Newswire |
