Bagged salads 'pose salmonella risk,' say researchers
Conclusion
This laboratory study principally demonstrates that salad leaf juice – released from salad leaves when they are damaged or broken – supports the growth of salmonella bacteria, even at fridge temperature. If leaves are contaminated with salmonella, this isn't removed by washing in water.
The results don't show that all packaged salad leaves are contaminated with gut bacteria like salmonella.
What they do show is that if the bags have been contaminated with gut bacteria, these bacteria will replicate, even in the fridge, and there's little you can do to remove them.
The best thing to do is to throw the bag o...

Broken leaves in salad bags raise salmonella risk 2,400-fold – study
Researchers say bacteria naturally present on leaves grows much faster once bag is opened, even when kept in fridgeBroken leaves in bags of prepared salad can hugely increase the risk of salmonella, a study suggests.Scientists found that juices released from damaged leaves in bagged mixed salad and spinach increased the risk of the bacteria 2,400-fold. It also increased the bacteria ’s virulence, enhancing its ability to cause infection.Continue reading... (Source: Guardian Unlimited Science)

The Scoop On Finding A Healthy Plant-Based Protein Powder
Conclusion
After completing this study, and factoring in the above, of all the plant based proteins I have tried, I would personally choose Nutiva's Plant Protein Superfood 30 Shake in either vanilla or chocolate as my top choice. For me it is obvious since Nutiva is actually certified organic, is at a great affordable price, low in sugars (and not stevia) and has a great taste.
Serving suggestion: Add 2 tablespoons of Hempseeds to your shake for an extra 8g of Protein and 1.7g Omega-3.Consider the addition of 1 tablespoon of Nutiva Coconut Manna (ie coconut butter) and water to eliminate the need for buying cartons of al...

Eating one egg a day may lower risk of stroke
Conclusion
This research broadly supports previous studies in this area, which suggest eating eggs does not increase the chances of getting heart disease or stroke. It raises the possibility that eggs may decrease the risk of having a stroke, but there are limitations to the study, meaning this result may not be reliable.
It's interesting that researchers did not find a "dose response" between stroke risk and the number of eggs eaten. Usually, if something is having an effect on the chances of getting a condition, you can see a linear pattern – having more of that food or treatment increases or decreases chanc...

MIT Geniuses Have Transformed Spinach Plants Into Bomb-Sniffing Machines
Engineers at MIT have transformed spinach plants into bomb-sniffing machines that can wirelessly relay warning signals to a handheld device similar to a smartphone.
They embedded the plants’ leaves with carbon nanotubes—tiny cylinders of carbon that can detect “nitroaromatics”—chemical compounds often used in landmines and other explosives. When one of these chemicals compounds is absorbed naturally by the plant (either in the air or through groundwater), the embedded nanotubes emit a fluorescent signal that can be read with an infrared camera, MIT said. “The camera can be attached to a ...

Cholesterol: The Myth of Heart Disease
The next time your doctor says you need to lower your LDL cholesterol so you don’t have a heart attack or stroke, show him the results of the Northern Manhattan Study.
The researchers that conducted the study found that higher LDL cholesterol was linked to LOWER stroke risk.1
And another study published this year reviewed research on nearly 70,000 people. The authors of that study found NO LINK between LDL cholesterol and premature deaths in people over 60 from heart disease.2
LDL Isn’t “Bad” Cholesterol
This backs up what I’ve been saying for two decades! LDL isn’t “bad” cho...

How To Make Yourself Poop Before A Run
By Jacqueline Andriakos
There’s a reason porta potty lines rope around the block at running events: Most runners want to empty out their system before going out and running miles upon miles.
It’s a valid concern — not being able to go to the bathroom before a race means you may get hit with the urge mid-run, and in turn, cramps and gas or a need to pause mid-race and make a bathroom pit stop.
“The vertical movement of running causes things to move through the colon, so not going to the bathroom before a long run or race may increase the chances of feeling something you don’t want to feel while...

How To Protect Your Eyesight
If you’re one of the 40% of Americans who wears glasses or contact lenses for distance viewing, you probably believe your bad vision is genetic.
It’s not.
But the belief that myopia — or nearsightedness — is hereditary is so prevalent that no one even questions it. If you have trouble seeing faraway objects, you’ll just be given a prescription for glasses. Your eye doctor isn’t interested in finding out the true cause of your poor eyesight.
Myopia Epidemic
And that’s a shame, because the rates of myopia are rising in epidemic proportions around the world. It’s even worse in Asia tha...
