Inflammation and Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) CVD is no longer considered a disorder of lipid (fat) accumulation or elevated cholesterol, but rather a disease process characterized by low-grade inflammation of the vascular (artery) lining and an inappropriate wound healing of the blood vessels 5. It is similar to a low-grade wound on your skin that does […]

Inflammation is literally the body “on fire” and is a primary immune mechanism response of the body to a range of noxious stimuli.  This can include infectious agents, such as bacteria or virus, oxidation or acidosis, damaged or diseased tissues; however, the inflammatory response can also occur in response to other external or internal cues 1.

The amount of protein, fat and carbohydrates in the diet plays a more important role in maintaining a healthy body weight and preventing obesity than previously thought. In a study of 27 healthy weight adults […]

In this study of four hundred men 83% percent increase in monoethyl phthalate (MEP) was associated with use of cologne/perfume and 74% for deodorant. While the largest percent increase for parabens, between 66 and 156% was associated with the use of suntan/sunblock lotion and a 79–147% for hand/body lotions. Increases in MEP and parabens were […]

There were 15 million preterm births (PTB) (<37 weeks) worldwide and more than 1 million infant deaths from PTB complications each year. PTB is the leading cause of neonatal death and multiple short and long term health problems. Multiple epidemiologic studies have found an association between higher levels of vitamin D ( 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] […]

Sucralose is an organochlorine artificial sweetener approximately 600 times sweeter than sucrose and used in over 4,500 products. While Long-term carcinogenicity bioassays on rats and mice conducted on behalf of the manufacturer have failed to show the evidence of carcinogenic effects independent studies have brought these results into question. This study found a significant dose-related […]

The results from this mouse study showed that lemon juice significantly inhibited alcohol-induced damage in a dose-dependent manner. Histopathological changes induced by alcohol were also remarkably improved by lemon juice treatment. These findings suggest that lemon juice has protective effects on alcohol-induced liver injury in mice. The protective effects might be related to the antioxidant […]

Sarcopenia is an age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. Coffee has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that have been shown to be inversely related to the mechanism of sarcopenia. In animal studies coffee attenuated the reduction of age-related muscle weight and muscle power, and stimulated regeneration of injured muscle compared to controls. Furthermore, pro-inflammatory mediators […]
