Seniors Rival Teens at Some Brain Tasks
Elders respond more slowly but just as accurately on simple tests due to greater care for correctness; Speed can be raised without loss of accuracy
by Craig Weatherby
We’ve addressed the subject of brain speed before, with encouraging indications for the key nutrients found in fatty fish: omega-3s and vitamin D.
And while it makes sense to eat a brain-friendly diet, a series of recent studies suggest that aging adults who are reasonably healthy can take heart about their brain performance versus fresh-faced college students.
A series of recent studies from Ohio State University (OSU) show that college kids and elders are about equally accurate when it comes to simple ...

Walnuts Curbed Prostate Cancer in Mice
Separate study finds that walnuts contain more polyphenols (antioxidants) than any common nut
by Craig Weatherby
Last fall, we reported the results of a study in mice, which suggested that walnuts may help curb breast cancer in mice.
Noted fatty acid and cancer researcher Elaine Hardman, Ph.D., found that adding walnuts to the diets of genetically cancer-susceptible mice cut the rate of developing breast cancer in half and reduced the number and size of any tumors that did develop.
As Dr. Hardman said, “These reductions are particularly important when you consider that the mice were genetically programmed to develop cancer at a high rate. We were able to reduce the risk for cancer even in the presence of a preexisting genetic mutation.”
Her study showed that the walnut-enriched diet changed the activity of multiple genes that influence breast cancer risk and growth in mice and humans (see ...

Cod Baked in Tomato-Feta Sauce
Today’s recipe comes to us from Kevin Lynch of Toronto, Canada … a FoodBuzz featured publisher whose blog, Closet Cooking, presents a wealth of great recipes.
As Kevin says about it, “The flavors in this dish are some of my Greek favorites, including tomatoes, feta, oregano, and a healthy dose of fresh herbs, especially dill. I even spiked the tomato sauce with a hit of ouzo, a Greek star anise flavored liqueur, which adds a hint of something exotic.”
“The tomato sauce is started in a pan and cooked until it starts to thicken and then it is poured over the fish before ...

Black Tea may Curb Heart, Diabetes Risks
Evidence review suggests that three cups daily may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes
by Craig Weatherby
Fortunately for those who favor and savor it, there’s evidence that drinking lots of tea – green or black, with differences between the two types – may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Now there’s more reason to believe that drinking black tea may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes (Ruxton CH, Mason P 2011).
The British authors of a new evidence review examined 40 epidemiological (statistical) studies to look for evidence ...

Moms' Salmon Relaxed Babies' Allergen Reactions
Trial showed healthier immune responses from umbilical cord blood but no fall in infants’ rates of eczema; results muddied by use of farmed salmon
by Craig Weatherby
A new clinical trial adds more evidence that mothers’ omega-3 intakes affect their children’s immune responses.
Echoing the results of prior studies, eating omega-3-rich salmon during pregnancy improved (moderated) infants’ immune responses in ways that may help deter allergies, eczema, and other “atopic” disorders.
The term “atopic” derives from “atopy”, which means an imbalanced immune response that predisposes children toward hay fever, asthma, eczema, and other allergic/hypersensitivity disorders.
Evidence review set a positive context
Last year, the authors of an evidence review concluded that higher fish or fish oil intake during pregnancy, nursing ...
