White Meat Is Just As Bad For Cholesterol Levels As Red Beef, Study Says
(CNN) — The red meat or white meat debate is a draw: Eating white meat, such as poultry, will have an identical effect on your cholesterol level as eating red beef, new research indicates.

This needs to be explored in more detail, they added.
Non-meat proteins such as vegetables, dairy, and legumes, including beans, show the best cholesterol benefit, according to t...

Review on antioxidants and evaluation procedures
AbstractAntioxidants are the substances that are capable of counteracting the damaging effects of the physiological process of oxidation occur in animal tissues. These may be nutrients (vitamins and minerals) as well as enzymes (proteins) in our body that assist in chemical reactions. They are believed to play a role in preventing the development of chronic diseases like cancer, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and cataracts etc. The present review article emphasizes on the various aspects of oxidants and antioxidants viz. definition, types, causes, mechanism, functions, adverse e...

This diet advice could kill you
The American Heart Association says sodium in salt raises blood pressure. They say it increases the risk for heart disease and stroke.
But the latest science says otherwise…
A British review of 34 clinical trials showed that cutting down on salt reduced blood pressure only slightly for people with hypertension.1
And a new study in The Lancet found that some low-salt diets could put you at GREATER risk of heart disease and death.2
Researchers analyzed data from 133,118 people. They wanted to see if there was a link between high sodium and heart attack, stroke and death
The results were startling. People on “he...

New brain diet 'slows mental decline'

The study has several strengths, including the large sample size, long observational period of up to nine years, regular annual assessment of cognitive functions, and comprehensive assessment of diet. However, one of the main limitations is that this type of study cannot show cause and effect – it can only show an association between the diet and slower mental decline. There may be other unmeasured factors that account for the results, such as genetics, ...

Supplements That Save Lives And Bucks

And a cornerstone of this philosophy has been based upon pr...
