Making the switch to a vegetarian or vegan diet
Several million Americans have abandoned red meat and poultry in favor of a predominantly plant-based diet. One reason some are making the switch is evidence of the health perks from going vegetarian or vegan, reports the May 2014 Harvard Women's Health Watch.
"There's certainly some research on the benefits of the vegetarian diet," says Kathy McManus, director of the Department of Nutrition at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital. It can help lower or control weight, reduce the chances of developing heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, and possibly lead to a longer, healthier life.

Fish oil could soon come from GM crop
Oils could provide feed for farmed fish and ultimately be used as a health supplement in human foods such as margarineA genetically-modified plant that produces seeds packed with fish oils is set to be grown in open fields in the UK within months, scientists announced on Friday. The oils could provide feed for farmed fish, the researchers hope, but they could ultimately be used as a health supplement in human foods such as margarine.Fish oils – specifically omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids – have been shown to cut the risk of cardiovascular disease and are a popular food supplement. But about 80% of the f...

Does a high-fibre diet help relieve asthma?
Conclusion
The current study has discovered more about the role of dietary fibre in the gut and its effect on lung inflammation. The findings come from experiments with mice in the laboratory.
Importantly, the researchers only tested the effect of dietary fibre on airway inflammation in mice. The results of animal research often do not translate into the same results for people.
However, the basic biology of humans and mice is surprisingly similar in some aspects, so these findings give a good starting point for further study in humans.
Although these results can help scientists learn more about the role dietary fibre pl...

Geranylgeraniol suppresses the viability of human prostate cancer cells and HMG CoA reductase
Researchers at Texas Woman's University have shown that a diterpene geranylgeraniol found in linseed oil, Cedrela toona wood oil, sucupira branca fruit oil and more recently, annatto seed oil, suppressed the viability of human DU145 prostate carcinoma cells via cell cycle arrest at the G1 phase and the initiation of apoptosis. This finding, reported in the November 2013 issue of Experimental Biology and Medicine, supplies recent evidence supporting the tumor-suppressive potential of dietary isoprenoids, a class of phytochemicals encompassing ~55,000 mevalonate-derived secondary metabolites.
