Hold off on the Egg McMuffins before GES tests, experts say
Nuclear medicine technologists are being advised that not just any meal works for patients before gastric emptying scintigraphy (GES), a common imaging procedure to evaluate how ingested food moves through the stomach.
In a recent article published March 1 in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine Technology, Jena-Lee McKee, of Dyersburg Hospital in Tennessee, and Mary Beth Farrell, of the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission in Ellicott City, Maryland, advised technologists that special-order meals will not deliver accurate results and will serve up a “buffet of confusion” and irreproducible results.

How the orange egg yolk trend was hatched
It used to be all about the egg-white omelet. High in protein, low in fat was the perfect recipe for the late-20th century American dieter. But sometime in the last 20 years, the egg yolk came back into fashion, as both a source of healthy fat and, as writer Marian Bull put it in Eater, an…#marianbull #eater #kairyssdal #orangeisnewyolk #happyeggco #csa #marketplace #greatrecession #thosehappyeggco (Source: Reuters: Health)

Seeding the Ocean: Inside a Michelin-Starred Chef ’s Revolutionary Quest to Harvest Rice From the Sea
There are very few things that Ángel León hasn’t done with the fruits of the sea.
In 2008, as a young, unknown chef, he took a loin from one fish and attached it to the loin of another, using collagen to bind the two proteins together. He called them hybrids and served them to unsuspecting diners at Aponiente, his restaurant in the southern Spanish port town of El Puerto de Santa María, just across the bay from Cádiz. He discovered that fish eyes, cooked at 55°C in a thermal circulator until the gelatin collapsed, made excellent thickening agents for umami-rich sauces. Next he found th...

What Is In A Ketogenic Diet?
Discussion
Epilepsy is a common problem for the general pediatrician. Its incidence is estimated at 41-87/100,000 children. While many children are controlled with medication, it is also estimated that up to 1/3 will develop drug-resistant epilepsy. Some children may have an identifiable seizure focus that may be amenable to surgery, but many others do not. One option for potential control is a ketogenic diet (KD).
Indications for KD usually are for drug-resistant epilepsy including partial and complex seizure patterns as well as some metabolic disorders such as glucose transport 1 deficiency syndrome. It has also found ...

Eggs May Be Bad for the Heart, a New Study Says —But There’s More to the Story
Conclusions about eggs based on available scientific evidence vary widely — in part because nutrition research is notoriously hard to conduct accurately. Despite the entrenched belief that eggs raise cholesterol, some studies have suggested that dietary cholesterol intake doesn’t necessarily translate to higher blood cholesterol. One study from last year found that people who ate an egg per day had lower rates of heart disease and bleeding stroke than people who did not eat them, and research from 2016 found that eggs didn’t have a strong effect on risk of coronary artery disease. Some researchers have su...

Researchers Find Way For Chickens To Lay Eggs Filled With Cancer-Killing Drugs
