Researchers Isolate Olive Oil Component That Protects Against Alzheimer’s
The Mediterranean diet is widely recommended by health professionals as a way to promote heart health as well as for possible Alzheimer’s protection. For most people, the fish, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and olive oil-based salad dressings that make up the bulk of a Mediterranean diet are excellent foods for general health. However, the liberal use of extra virgin olive oil used for cooking and as flavoring for bread and... (Source: Carol Bradley Bursack's SharePosts)

Simple Cooking For The Low-Iodine Diet
Thyroid cancer diagnoses rates are increasing, especially among young women. Many thyroid cancer patients undergo radioactive iodine treatment, a.k.a. RAI-131. I have done so twice and learned along the way about how to cope with the seemingly bizarre low-iodine diet.
When I was going through preparation for radioactive iodine treatment, the list of permitted foods on the low-iodine diet seemed grim. Low-iodine diet cookbooks only made me feel worse; I am simple, lazy cook, adverse to complicated recipes and substitutions. Plus, I didn’t want my shopping lists, recipes, or meals to remind me that I was...

Pritikin says ‘not so fast’ on Mediterranean diet exuberance
The recent study of the benefits of the Mediterranean diet and olive oil got huge buzz. I heard about it everywhere –even from my mother. Whenever something so definitive is released it makes sense to be skeptical. And no one’s been quicker to critique the findings than proponents of low fat diets, whose reputations and livelihoods are threatened if this study achieves lasting influence.
The following guest post was written by Pritikin Research Director and UCLA professor, James Barnard, PhD.

We’ll start by talking about what’s good about the newly published study (1) that garnered headlines like ...

Yes, this really is a breakthrough study
You may have seen coverage of this in the corporate media, but I'm going to give you a bit of value added. A randomized controlled trial finds that the so-called Mediterranean diet results in fewer strokes and heart attacks, not to mention fewer deaths, in people at high risk for heart disease.Now here's why this is a big deal. Most of what we know about nutrition and health comes from observational studies. It's very difficult to sort out the effects of nutrition on human health because, among other problems:People's diets are obviously very complex. You can't easily or convincingly sort out the effect of one dietary comp...

Large Trial Shows Cardiovascular Benefits Of Mediterranean Diet
A large new trial offers powerful evidence that the Mediterranean diet can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Results of the PREDIMED (Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea) study were published online in the New England Journal of Medicine. Spanish investigators randomized 7,447 people at high risk for cardiovascular disease to one of three groups: a Mediterranean diet supplemented with extra-virgin olive oil, a Mediterranean diet supplemented with nuts, or a control group in which people were advised to lower their intake of dietary fat. The diets were designed not to restrict calories but to change the compositi...

Mediterranean Diet Still Better Than Other Diets
While lots of other diets have conflicting studies that leave people baffled one winner continues to stand out. The Mediterranean diet is still the gold standard (that's gold olive oil) by which other diets are measured. Get most of your fat calories from olive oil and nuts. Eat less red meat. Avoid refined grains. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits. You can cut your stroke and heart disease risk by almost a third. Probably more if you follow the diet for longer than the latest study. I keep a bottle of olive oil out on my kitchen counter so I'll pour it on stuff. I keep bottles of olives in the fridge too and use them as s...

Does the Oil in Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo Do Anything?
Miss Monet must know…I was looking for a good conditioning and found Garnier Triple Nutrition shampoo. Why is oil is put in shampoo when its going to go down the drain because sulfates get rid of dirt and oil?
The Beauty Brains respond:
Garnier’s Fructis line (made my L’Oreal) was originally based on fruit acids. Over time they’ve expanded their product line to include new products like this Triple Nutrition shampoo. According to their website it’s based on “Fortified Fruit Science” which consists of “3 Nutritive Fruit Weightless Oils” Olive, Avocado and Shea.
