The cancer preventive properties of broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables appear to work specifically in smokers, according to data presented at the American Association for Cancer Research's Seventh Annual International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research.
Cruciferous vegetables have been shown to be protective in numerous studies, but this is the first comprehensive study that showed a protective benefit in smokers, specifically in former smokers, according to lead author Li Tang, Ph.D., a post-doctoral fellow at Roswell Park Cancer Institute

High magnesium intake has been associated with low risk of colorectal cancer. Americans have similar average magnesium intake as East Asian populations. If that were all that were involved, observers might expect both groups to have similar risk for colorectal cancer

piggy submitted, created time 2 weeks 3 days (www.sciencedaily.com)
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine, led by Ajit Varki, M.D., have shown a new mechanism for how human consumption of red meat and milk products could contribute to the increased risk of cancerous tumors.
Their findings, which suggest that inflammation resulting from a molecule introduced through consumption of these foods could promote tumor growth, are published online this week in advance of print publication in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)

A diet high in fat—extremely high in fat, that is—has just been shown in a clinical trial to cut seizure frequency in children with severe, drug-resistant epilepsy. It's not a cure, and it's not an easy treatment to stomach, but it works, British researchers reported Friday in the journal Lancet Neurology.
Dr. Atkins himself might have gagged on the therapeutic regimen, which is called the ketogenic diet. It's so fatty that carbohydrates and protein combined aren't permitted to account for more than twenty-five percent of total calories

OBJECTIVE—To investigate the association between dietary adherence and glycemic control among youth with type 1 diabetes.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 119 youth aged 9–14 years (mean ± SD 12.1 ± 1.6 years) with diabetes duration 1 year (5.4 ± 3.1 years). Dietary adherence was assessed using the Diabetes Self-Management Profile diet domain. Higher score defined greater dietary adherence. Glycemic control was determined by A1C.
RESULTS—Dietary adherence score was inversely correlated with A1C (r = –0.36, P < 0.0001)

OBJECTIVE—The purpose of this study was to examine the association between fruit, vegetable, and fruit juice intake and development of type 2 diabetes.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—A total of 71,346 female nurses aged 38–63 years who were free of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes in 1984 were followed for 18 years, and dietary information was collected using a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire every 4 years. Diagnosis of diabetes was self-reported.
RESULTS—During follow-up, 4,529 cases of diabetes were documented, and the cumulative incidence of diabetes was 7.4%

High-calorie diet linked to boys
kavin submitted, created time 7 months 1 week (news.bbc.co.uk)
Recently, the researchers in the Universities of Exeter and Oxford suggests a high-calorie diet at pregnant time--and regular breakfasts--might increase the odds of a boy. And the modern trend to opt for low calorie diets might explain why the proportion of boys is falling in developed countries.
The study, by the Universities of Exeter and Oxford, appears in the Royal Society journal Biological Sciences.

Some parents will try anything to influence the sex of their child. Eat meat if you want a boy, some say; fish and vegetables for a girl. Now, a new mouse study indicates that the belief that a mother's diet can influence a baby's sex is not so far-fetched. By altering a female mouse's blood-glucose levels around conception time, researchers skewed the sex ratio of the resulting offspring.
