Ancient sharks may have pioneered the ability to taste bitterness in food
If a bite of dandelion greens or extra-dark chocolate makes you pucker, there’s good reason. Bitterness can indicate the presence of toxins in potential foods, and animals long ago honed the ability to ferret out harsh tastes.
But the ability to sense bitterness may be even older than many presumed, a new study finds. It likely first evolved in vertebrates roughly 460 million years ago, when sharks and other cartilaginous fishes separated from bony vertebrates like ourselves, researchers report
today in the
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
. The bitter taste receptor...

Cranberries for preventing urinary tract infections
CONCLUSIONS: This update adds a further 26 studies, taking the total number of studies to 50 with 8857 participants. These data support the use of cranberry products to reduce the risk of symptomatic, culture-verified UTIs in women with recurrent UTIs, in children, and in people susceptible to UTIs following interventions. The evidence currently available does not support its use in the elderly, patients with bladder emptying problems, or pregnant women.PMID:37947276 | DOI:10.1002/14651858.CD001321.pub7 (Source: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews)

Fracture resistance and bonding performance after antioxidants pre-treatment in non-vital and bleached teeth
In conclusion, the evaluated antioxidants did not show an effect on the fracture strength, hybrid layer thickness, or bond strength of dentin bleached after endodontic treatment. The application of 10% sodium ascorbate, 10% alpha-tocopherol, 5% cranberry, or 0.0025% capsaicin solutions is not an effective step and should not be considered for the restorative protocols after non-vital bleaching.PMID:37909643 | DOI:10.1590/0103-6440202305553 (Source: Braz Dent J)
