Effect of a daily supplement of soy protein on body composition and insulin secretion in postmenopausal women – Source: Fertility and Sterility, Dec 2007
A daily supplement of soy protein taken in a shake reduced subcutaneous & total abdominal fat in postmenopausal women - vs. a fat increase in controls given a shake with equivalent calories but containing milk protein (casein). Insulin secretion did not differ but isoflavone levels rose in the soy group. Full text now available. Source: Fertility and Sterility, Dec 2007 |

Preliminary data about the influence of vitamin D status on the loss of body fat in young overweight/obese women following two types of hypocaloric diet - Source: British Journal of Nutrition, Aug 2008
Higher serum vitamin D level correlated positively with more weight loss on slightly reduced calorie diet. Those with higher D lost more than 3 times as much as those with lower D on average. [Source: British Journal of Nutrition, Aug 2008] |

California chemist on a mission to educate about CoQ10
"Nature gave us, through 2.5 billion years of evolution, a number of fundamental anti-aging, free-radical scavengers that helped us to survive, on average, only to about 40 years of age, until modern medicine came along…. Coenzyme Q10 is as important as vitamin C. But who’s teaching this to our aging population? Nobody.” |

Medication-induced mitochondrial damage and disease – Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, July 2008
Dysfunctional mitochondria (the cells’ energy-generators) play a role in migraine, nerve pain, ME/CFS, FM, and many more illnesses, and antioxidant therapies hold promise. This article explains how the mitochondria function, and how many common types of medications are known to damage them. [Source: Molecular Nutrition and Food Research, July 2008] |

Milk Thistle Extracts Inhibit the Oxidation of Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and Subsequent Scavenger Receptor-Dependent Monocyte Adhesion – Source: Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, June 11, 2008
U of Arkansas researchers report silymarin reduced oxidation of LDL (bad) cholesterol by up to 86% depending on dose. Oxidized LDL (oxLDL) is considered a chief contributor to an important killer – arterial plaque/inflammation and heart disease. [Source: Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, June 11, 2008] |
