Grabbing as little as one glass of lowfat or fat free milk could help protect your heart, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers found that adults who had at least one serving of lowfat milk or milk products each day had 37 percent lower odds of poor kidney function linked to heart disease compared to those who drank little or no lowfat milk. To determine heart disease risk, researchers from several universities in the United States and Norway measured the kidney function of more than 5,000 older adults ages 45 to 84

The study shows us that women with breast cancer who have a vitamin D deficiency at the time of diagnosis are more likely to have a recurrence or to die from their disease. This study found that vitamin D deficiency is very common among women with breast cancer, and it suggests that vitamin D deficiency is linked to poorer outcomes in these women

There a age-related division of labor in honey bee colonies, a highly derived behavioral system, involves the performance of different feeding-related tasks by different groups of individuals. Older bees acquire the colony's food by foraging for nectar and pollen, and the younger "nurse" bees feed larvae processed foods.

One leap for biofuel-based jets
Sue Wu submitted, created time 9 months 6 days (www.sciam.com)
Virgin Atlantic became the first commercial airplane operator to fly a plane powered partially by palm oil this week. The jet's engine had not been given any special modifications and there had been some doubts about whether the palm oil would gum up when exposed to the low temperatures of the altitude, but all went well. The only remaining issues, according to the article, are the economic and ecological ramifications of using palm oil. It might drive up the prices of cooking oil in certain parts of the world, and people might cut down rainforests for palm plantations

Kraft develops food products meant to kill intestinal worms
Darkfrog submitted, created time 9 months 3 weeks (www.nytimes.com)
Kraft Foods, famous for revolting plastic cheese and inoffensive food bars, plans to incorporate compounds meant to kill roundworms and other troublesome parasites into food products that have yet to be named.
This article is engaging and easy to get into, almost definitely written for the non-scientist. Still the story of how the antiparasitics were discovered is brief and interesting.
Kraft would hardly be the first company to tailor its products to each target country. The most famous example is probably Coca-Cola's country-by-country formulas.

This Review addresses two regimens with distinct macronutrient prescriptions that have been widely touted as being beneficial for weight loss and/or metabolic profile: diets low in carbohydrate and diets high in monounsaturated fat. Although data from recent randomized, controlled trials suggest these popular diets may be useful for weight control, cardiovascular health, and glycemic control, longer studies of the efficacy and safety of varying macronutrient content are needed to strengthen the evidence base for nutritional recommendations
Questionable meat found in schools
DanyC submitted, created time 9 months 4 weeks (www.latimes.com)
This is not the first recall to affect California schools -- tainted strawberries and spinach have also caused scares in recent years. But potentially problematic ground beef is much harder to identify and eliminate because it goes through multiple processors before reaching the schools, and meat from different suppliers may be mixed up in the process.

When you eat a cup of yogurt, billions of bacteria make their way to your gut. Some researchers believe that these "probiotics" can be good for you, alleviating everything from bowel disease to allergies. Now, a team of researchers has shown that, at least in mice, supplementing food with a helping of "good" bacteria can cause profound metabolic changes, including some that may be linked to weight loss.
This idea foretells an exciting and potentially revolutionary future in which microbial interventions can correct metabolic abnormalities.
Food from cloned animals deemed safe in US
sumsung submitted, created time 10 months 2 weeks (www.nature.com)
In a long-awaited decision, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has announced that food from cloned animals and their offspring is safe for consumption. But the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) urged producers to preserve a voluntary moratorium on marketing food from cloned animals until regulators can determine how best to introduce them into the US meat and dairy market.
