Vitamin D promises to be the most talked-about and written-about supplement of the decade. While studies continue to refine optimal blood levels and recommended dietary amounts, the fact remains that a huge part of the population — from robust newborns to the frail elderly, and many others in between — are deficient in this essential nutrient. If the findings of existing clinical trials hold up in future research, the potential consequences of this deficiency are likely to go far beyond inadequate bone development and excessive bone loss that can result in falls and fractures. Every tissue in the body, including...

Open wide: Thanks to a new gel, soon this won't hurt A gel that can help decayed teeth grow back in just weeks may mean an end to fillings. The gel, which is being developed by scientists in France, works by prompting cells in teeth to start multiplying. They then form healthy new tooth tissue that gradually replaces what has been lost to decay. Researchers say in lab studies it took just four weeks to restore teeth back to their original healthy state. The gel contains melanocyte-stimulating hormone, or MSH. We produce this in the pituitary gland, a pea-sized gland...

From fending off hypochondriacs to battling bureaucrats and trying to help the genuinely ill, a GP's working life is a mix of the hilarious, the mundane and the poignant. Here, in extracts from his diary, DR TONY COPPERFIELD, a GP for 20 years, reveals what goes on behind those surgery doors... Monday mornings are hell, and the first Monday morning of the new year is hell squared, so it was with a sinking feeling that I nosed my car into the Senior Partner's space (I'm not actually the Senior Partner; I just like to live life on the edge). Our...

A new study has shed light on the interaction between broccoli consumption and reduced prostate cancer risk. Researchers have found that sulforaphane, a chemical found in broccoli, interacts with cells lacking a gene called PTEN to reduce the chances of prostate cancer developing. Richard Mithen, from the Institute of Food Research, an institute of BBSRC, worked with a team of researchers on Norwich Research Park, UK, to carry out a series of experiments in human prostate tissue and mouse models of prostate cancer to investigate the interactions between expression of the PTEN gene and the anti-cancer activity of sulforaphane. "PTEN...

Hitting the gym every day might do little to decrease your risk of death if you spend the rest of your time sitting down, a new study suggests. The results show the time people spend on their derrieres is associated with an increased risk of mortality, regardless of their physical activity level. Women who reported more than six hours per day of sitting (outside of work) were 37 percent more likely to die during the time period studied than those who sat fewer than three hours a day. Men who sat more than six hours a day (also outside of...

The world is preparing to face the end of Mubarak’s Egypt. Radio Voice of America reports: A government spokesman this week tried to downplay a report in the Washington Times newspaper that Western intelligence agencies are tracking Mr. Mubarak's decline since surgery in Germany earlier this year. The government says the president is recovering from gall bladder disease, but the Times report, along with independent media reports in Egypt, suggest his illness is more grave. Vice President Joe Biden met with Egyptian President in Sharm El Sheikh on June 7, 2010. On the official White House Photo by David Lienemann...

Germany's health system is funded by a series of mandatory health insurance funds, all of which are reporting serious deficits as the system is overused. Recently the German Teachers' Association recommended weighing children in class each day and reporting the seriously overweight to social services, who would have the power to remove them to clinics. "The question must be admitted whether the immense costs that, for example, arise from excessive consumption of food, can be permanently paid out of the consolidated health system," said Marco Wanderwitz, the conservative MP for the state of Saxony. "I think it's sensible that people...

Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius promised, "The U.S. government plans to increase funding to battle obesity and views healthcare reform as an opportunity to encourage better eating habits." Rather than spending money and attacking the food industry, the secretary and others concerned with the health of Americans ought to go after the U.S. Congress. Let's look at it. According to a study by researchers at the University of California, Davis, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation (May 2009), widespread use of fructose may be directly responsible for some of the ongoing increase in rates of childhood diabetes...

Hey Freepers, Would any of you skinny folks like to share you daily meal habits? How many meals do you eat, when, and how big are they? What sort of things do you eat? I ask this because I've recently embarked on a "big breakfast diet" and so far it seems like a great idea. I just want to see if it's sustainable long term, and if people are already doing it, that would indicate that it is. (The basics: Eat a huge protein-packed breakfast that includes one sweet indulgence and some carbs, then a reasonable protein lunch and little...

That’s the federal government’s latest message to Americans seeking to learn the content of their own DNA. Recent advances in biotechnology have allowed private companies to offer affordable genetic testing directly to consumers, to help them determine their risks of developing problems such as diabetes, heart disease, and various forms of cancer. In response, the U.S. government has told these companies that their tests must be approved by FDA regulators before they can be sold because, in the government’s words, “consumers may make medical decisions in reliance on this information.” These restrictions thus represent a new level of government paternalism...
