Fermented raw potato for probiotics AND prebiotics
Here’s an easy way to add both probiotics and prebiotics to your life: Fermented raw potatoes. The mildly tangy flavor of these fermented raw potatoes go well tossed into a salad, though you can just eat them right out of the jar, too.
Because they are raw, there are zero net carbs but plenty of fiber. (When heated, however, fibers depolymerize or break down into sugars. When raw and unheated, fibers remain in polymer form.) Raw potatoes therefore provide you with prebiotic fibers to nourish bowel flora.
When you lactate-ferment these raw potatoes, you also cultivate beneficial bacterial species such as Lactobacill...

Widely Applicable Hydrofluorination of Alkenes via Bifunctional Activation of Hydrogen Fluoride
JacsWidely Applicable Hydrofluorination of Alkenes via Bifunctional Activation of Hydrogen Fluoride: Expanding the use of fluorine in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and materials requires a widely applicable and more efficient protocol for the preparation of fluorinated compounds. We have developed a new generation nucleophilic fluorination reagent, KHSO4-13HF, HF 68 wt/wt %, that is not only easily handled and inexpensive but also capable of hydrofluorinating diverse, highly functionalized alkenes, including natural products.

Beware: What ’ s in that glass of water?
We are living in a dangerous era, a time when industrial compounds have proliferated to such an extraordinary degree that literally everyone is exposed to chemicals that cause potential harm to our systems. This includes the perfluorooctanoic acid residues from Teflon in your cooking, restaurant food, or groundwater. It can be caused by triclosan in antibacterial hand soaps and hand sanitizers. It can be due to polybrominated diphenyl ethers from the flame retardant in carpeting and clothing, contaminants in the water supply, and plastics that are everywhere and in everything, from cars to the lining of canned foods to wat...

A catalytic fluoride-rebound mechanism for C(sp3)-CF3 bond formation

Dean TosteScience23 Jun 2017 : 1272-1276A gold complex forms carbon-trifluoromethyl bonds via borane-catalyzed cleavage and reformation of a C –F bond.Trifluoromethyl substituents are widely used in pharmaceutical research to tune the properties of drug candidates. Generally, they are introduced intact through the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. Levinet al. discovered an unusual alternative mechanism, in which borane abstracts fluoride from the CF3 group in a gold complex. The acti...

Fluoride Reduces The Ability Of Decay-Causing Bacteria To Stick
In an advance toward solving a 50-year-old mystery, scientists are reporting new evidence on how the fluoride in drinking water, toothpastes, mouth rinses and other oral-care products prevents tooth decay. Their report appears in the ACS journal Langumir. Karin Jacobs and colleagues explain that despite a half-century of scientific research, controversy still exists over exactly how fluoride compounds reduce the risk of tooth decay. That research established long ago that fluoride helps to harden the enamel coating that protects teeth from the acid produced by decay-causing bacteria. Newer studies already fou...

Study Finds that Fluoride Reduces Adhesion of Bacteria on Teeth
Despite more than fifty years of scientific research, controversy still exists over exactly how fluoride compounds reduce the risk of tooth decay. New evidence from German researchers suggests that fluoride helps to reduce the adhesion of bacteria to teeth. The study is published in the American Chemical Society (ACS) journal Langumir [1].
The cause of tooth decay and cavities
Research in the late 1940s and early 1950s established that fluoride helps to harden tooth enamel, which protects teeth from the acid produced by decay-causing bacteria [2-4]. Subsequent studies showed that fluoride enhances the tooth remineraliza...

Fluoride in Drinking Water Cuts Tooth Decay in Adults
A new study conducted by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Adelaide, Australia, has produced the strongest evidence yet that fluoride in drinking water provides dental health benefits to adults, even those who had not received fluoridated drinking water as children.In the first population-level study of its kind, the study shows that fluoridated drinking water prevents tooth decay for all adults regardless of age, and whether or not they consumed fluoridated water during childhood.Led by UNC School of Dentistry faculty member Gary Slade, the study adds a new dimens...

Too much sodium is bad. Hidden sources of sodium are worse!
Sometimes in the hubbub of today, we miss simple things that can have a lasting impact. This is true for parents and for doctors. As part of my ongoing board certification as a pediatrician, I was thrilled recently to see an important nutrition question:
“A 5-year-old boy is brought to the physician for a health care supervision visit. The parents have no particular concerns. Which of the following interventions would be most likely to lead to a predicted decrease in mortality in a population of healthy 5-year-old children?”
Decreased potassium intake
Decreased sodium intake
Increased caffeine intake
Increased fluori...

Fluoride is killing us
FLUORIDE IS KILLING US Fluoride is killing us adults. It’s time to eliminate fluoridation. More children are swallowing toothpaste, getting fluoride in their soft drinks, fruit juices, and dental fluoride application, and are getting fluoride intoxication by the age of eight. The government is now recommending reducing the level of fluoride in drinking water by 40%. After 65 years of fluoridation in 64% of American families,, researchers find that over 40% of our children before the age of 15 have spotting or streaking under their teeth( up by 50% over The last decade)...
