Listen nowCoffee is perhaps best known for its stimulant properties, primarily from its caffeine content. Recent research found that caffeine and its metabolites reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting more than 10 million people worldwide. The research was part of the EPIC study (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12639222/), a large, prospective cohort that spans six European countries. Researchers looked at how much coffee participants reported drinking and then tracked who developed Parkinson's. They used statistical models to estimate the risk of deve... parkinson's coffee caffeine neurodegeneration
Read moreBreastfeeding protects infants from many common illnesses, a new study has found. Babies breastfed for at least three months were less likely to spend time in the hospital or develop asthma, colds, ear infections, or other common conditions. Researchers tracked the health and breastfeeding histories of nearly 4,000 children living in Ireland. They compared the rates of hospitalization and illnesses of babies fed breast milk exclusively for 90 days or more to those who never breastfed. They found that babies breastfed for 90 days or more were less likely to develop chest infections, common co... immune system development breast milk
Read moreConsuming honey improves blood glucose and cholesterol levels, a recent analysis shows. Raw, unprocessed honey from a single floral source provides the greatest health benefits. Researchers reviewed the findings of 18 studies that investigated the effects of honey consumption on various cardiometabolic risk factors, including body fat, glucose levels, blood lipids, blood pressure, inflammatory markers, and others. They also noted the effects of processing and sourcing on honey's effects. They found that honey lowered fasting blood glucose, LDL ("bad") cholesterol, and triglycerides and incre... diet metabolism cardiovascular

Watch nowThe gut microbiota is a complex and dynamic population of microorganisms that is subject to change throughout an individual's lifespan in response to the aging process. Findings from a new study demonstrate that altering the gut microbial population may alter the aging process of the human brain. The authors of the study transplanted gut microbiota samples from healthy young or old mice into young germ-free mice. Eight weeks after the transplant, the mice that received microbial samples from the old mice demonstrated increased neurogenesis – the process of forming new neurons – in the hippoc... brain gut aging microbiome neuron fatty liver neurons neurogenesis butyrate

Watch nowThe bacteria penetrate through the gut barrier and release compounds that damage DNA and inflame colon cells. This can both induce colon cancer and/or allow precancerous cells to grow into cancer. The strains of bacteria are Bacteroides fragilis and a strain of E. coli. Not everyone has these two types of bacteria but those that do are thought to have gotten them during childhood. This study analyzed 25 tumor samples taken from people with familial adenomatous polyposis and found the two bacterial species present in large quantities. Animals were then given a cancer-causing agent to cause muta... cancer gut microbiome
