Coconut Crab Claw Strength Rivals Lion's Bite, Study Shows
Lions, tigers and crabs ... oh my?
Scientists measured the incredible strength of the coconut crab, the world’s largest terrestrial arthropod, for a study published last week in the journal PLOS One. The findings showed that the pinching force of the coconut crab was comparable to the bite force of some of nature’s most formidable predators, including lions.
Coconut crabs, native to islands throughout the Pacific and Indian oceans, can climb trees, shred coconuts with ease and have even been rumored to eat kittens.
To gather data, researchers used a bite-force measuring device to determine the pinchi...

Just a small cut in saturated fats 'reduces heart disease risk'
Conclusion
This study shows an association between increased intake of individual saturated fats and increased risk of coronary heart disease.
It also shows a link between the replacement of these fatty acids with other types of fat, plant protein, or wholegrain carbohydrates and a reduction in coronary heart disease risk.
The strengths of this study are the large sample size and long follow-up period that looked at repeated measures such as diet, lifestyle and health outcomes.
It also provides clear support for dietary guidelines that recommend replacing dietary energy from saturated fats with polyunsaturated fats as well...

The One Ingredient That's Worse Than Sugar
The One to Avoid Between Now and 2018
The ingredient: Partially hydrogenated oils, otherwise known as trans fats
What you should know: These types of trans fats are so bad for you that in 2015 the Food and Drug Administration gave food manufacturers and restaurants three years to phase out PHOs. Why? They’re known to raise levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower levels of the good ones (HDL). That increases your risk for cardiovascular disease.
Lots of big chains like McDonald’s, Wendy’s and KFC have already gotten rid of them, as have many food companies, says Lisa Lefferts, MSPH, a senior scientist at...

The Scoop On Finding A Healthy Plant-Based Protein Powder
Conclusion
After completing this study, and factoring in the above, of all the plant based proteins I have tried, I would personally choose Nutiva's Plant Protein Superfood 30 Shake in either vanilla or chocolate as my top choice.

Trick Or Treat? A Dentist Ranks Your Favorite Halloween Candy
You'll find my favorite Halloween decoration at the front desk of my dental practice: a bowl of candy labeled "free cavities." (Yes, I know, dentists are hilarious!)
This weekend, children will dress up as their favorite characters and run around the neighborhood in the hopes of scoring the most delicious candy they can! They'll also try and avoid those curmudgeons who have the audacity to give away apples and toothbrushes.
In a perfect world, children would only trick-or-treat at those homes giving away the least cariogenic (cavity-causing) treats -- but this isn't a perfect world, and your kid loves Laffy Taffy. Th...

Saturated Fat Remains The Major Issue For Heart Disease
It is funny how two lives can run parallel courses thousands of miles apart to eventually become intertwined. I am a cardiologist trained in interventional therapy (stents) for coronary artery disease (CAD) who has become a passionate advocate of lifestyle and prevention of CAD before stents are needed. I exercise daily using high-intensity protocols. I am appalled by the current status of hospital food. I emphasize the need for increased fruits and vegetables in the diet with reduced added sugars and value the pattern of eating in the Mediterranean (MED) basin as a model for balanced nutrition. I am a student of the volum...
