New Bacteria Discovered in Raw Milk
piggy submitted, created time 1 week 4 days (www.sciencedaily.com)
Raw milk is illegal in many countries as it can be contaminated with potentially harmful microbes. Contamination can also spoil the milk, making it taste bitter and turn thick and sticky. Now scientists have discovered new species of bacteria that can grow at low temperatures, spoiling raw milk even when it is refrigerated.
According to research, the microbial population of raw milk is much more complex than previously thought

Sugar present in red meat and dairy found to be a risk factor for E. coli infection.
Are vertical farms the next necessary step in agriculture?
Darkfrog submitted, created time 2 months 14 hours (www.sciam.com)
Scientific American here highlights urban farming. The idea is that we spend all this time, water and energy not only growing and fertilizing plants the old-fashioned way but then transporting the food products all the way from the farms to the cities, where most of the people live and where--by 2050, a whole lot more people are going to live.
The article describes growing fruits and vegetables inside tall glass buildings like some kind of modern-day hanging gardens (I wonder if they give +2 happy faces like in Civilization). We've got construction and glassmaking technology

Some psychologists find that social isolation makes people feel physically cold, and making people feel left out makes them more likely to choose hot soup or coffee over warm or room-temperature foods and beverages...

"Magnetic cows" are visible from space
sea-maid submitted, created time 3 months 5 days (www.nature.com)
Despite thousands of years of coexistence, exploitation and cheese, humanity seems to have missed an intriguing fact about cows: they like to point north. Or possibly south. After some exploration, it was found that other animals, such as deer, do this too.
Researchers have explored the matter and found that the ruminants are aligning themselves to magnetic north, not true north. In other words, this is about the magnetic field, not maximizing heat from the sun or getting out of the wind.
Americans must diet to save their economy

That's the message ecologists are trying to get across this week. They say the apparently looming energy crisis could be averted if U.S. residents cut their calorie intake. Researchers out of Cornell University say that we could save enormous amounts of energy with a few simple changes in the way we produce corn, reducing junk food intake, eating less meat and reducing total calorie intake.

People who use monosodium glutamate, or MSG, as a flavor enhancer in their food are more likely than people who don't use it to be overweight or obese even though they have the same amount of physical activity and total calorie intake, according to a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Public Health study published this month in the journal Obesity.
Researchers at UNC and in China studied more than 750 Chinese men and women, aged between forty and fifty-nine, in three rural villages in north and south China
Hot peppers really do bring the heat

Researchers have found that capsaicin, the active chemical in chili peppers, can induce thermogenesis, the process by which cells convert energy into heat.
Lawsuit puts sea bass experiments on hold
Darkfrog submitted, created time 3 months 3 weeks (www.nature.com)
Any Dr. Evil fans out there? FIsh farmers' attempts to train sea-bass (no note is given as to whether they are ill-tempered) have been halted by a lawsuit.
The Food and Water Watch has had a temporary injunction issued, claiming that there has not been enough investigation as to whether the food cage to be used in the experiment will not pollute surrounding waters. Fine with me. Investigation is good. We should all know the risks, because there are GOING to be risks.
Overly furry secret agents were in no danger, though
Bluetongue spreads despite vaccinations
sea-maid submitted, created time 4 months 4 days (www.newscientist.com)
BLUETONGUE is back. It has survived another winter in northern Europe, and now farmers are vaccinating livestock in a race against the biting midges that carry the virus.
The first cases of the disease, which affects ruminants, began to surface this month, with France so far reporting 260. Most are located along the front line of last year's outbreaks, suggesting that the epidemic is spreading into new territory despite France's compulsory vaccination policy.
In England, voluntary vaccination has been rolled out across the country from the south-east, where bluetongue arrived last year

The biologist Paul Ehrlich came to public attention in 1968 with the publication of his book, The Population Bomb. Worries about the potential problems of a soaring global population had boiled and cooled over previous decades. And the issue had become so enmeshed with political decisions that many just wished to ignore it. The warnings of Thomas Malthus, the eighteenth-century writer who had had such influence on many thinkers on the problems of uncontrolled population growth, had slipped into the background
Arsenic and Paddy Rice: A Neglected Cancer Risk?

Can eating rice increase the risk of cancer? That question arises from three sets of findings that report elevated arsenic levels in rice and products such as rice bran and rice crackers.
The bright side of biofuels isn't so bright
Darkfrog submitted, created time 4 months 3 weeks (sciencenow.sciencemag.org)
The argument in favor of biofuels--petroleum-replacement fuels made from plants like corn, soybeans and switchgrass--is that while burning oil releases new carbon into the air, burning biofuels would release only the carbon that the plants had absorbed from the air during their growth cycle. The net effect would be zero.
However, if one looks at the big picture, biofuels lose their luster. Not only has the conversion of food farms to fuel farms driven up food prices worldwide, but in the tropics, farmers are cutting down carbon-absorbing forests for corn plantations
