Begin early: Researchers say water with meals may encourage wiser choices
2012-05-15
EUGENE, Ore. -- (May 14, 2012) -- Water could change the way we eat.
That's the conclusion of new research by T. Bettina Cornwell of the University of Oregon and Anna R. McAlister of Michigan State University. Their findings appear online this week ahead of regular publication by the journal Appetite.
The paper featured separate studies. One involved a survey of 60 young U.S. adults (ages 19-23) about the role of food-and-drink pairings. The second involved experiments with 75 U.S. children (ages 3-5) to determine the role of drinks and vegetable consumption. The same ...

Mayo Clinic researchers discover biomarkers for prostate cancer detection, recurrence
2012-05-15
ROCHESTER, Minn. -- Alterations to the "on-off" switches of genes occur early in the development of prostate cancer and could be used as biomarkers to detect the disease months or even years earlier than current approaches, a Mayo Clinic study has found. These biomarkers — known as DNA methylation profiles — also can predict if the cancer is going to recur and if that recurrence will remain localized to the prostate or, instead, spread to other organs. The study, published in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, is the first to capture the methylation changes that occur ...
Events & Adventures Shines as Singles Rethink Dating Sites
2012-05-15
Just when it seems to have finally transitioned from taboo practice to accepted dating method, Internet dating is again under fire for some of its simply untrue claims. Guarantees of finding real love on a website have left many broken-hearted singles turning away from their computers and back into the "real world." According to Susan Whitbourne of Time magazine, Internet dating, put simply, does not always work. Events & Adventures, an alternative dating club that has been around since 1987, provides the natural dating experience that many singles feel is ...
Relative reference: Foxtail millet offers clues for assembling the switchgrass genome
2012-05-15
Arranging DNA fragments into a genome sequence that scientists can interpret is a challenge often compared to assembling a puzzle, except there is no box to provide an idea of what the picture is even supposed to be. Sometimes there's guidance in the form of other publicly-available DNA sequences from related organisms that can be used to guide the assembly process, but its usefulness depends on how closely related any two sequences are to one another. For example, a reference genome might be so distantly related from the one being assembled, it would be akin to comparing ...
Dip chip technology tests toxicity on the go
2012-05-15
From man-made toxic chemicals such as industrial by-products to poisons that occur naturally, a water or food supply can be easily contaminated. And for every level of toxic material ingested, there is some level of bodily response, ranging from minor illness to painful certain death.
Biosensors have long been used to safeguard against exposure to toxic chemicals. Food tasters employed by the ancients acted as early versions of biosensors, determining if a meal had been poisoned. More modern examples include the use of fish, which may alter their swimming characteristics ...

DermaVeratrol Enhances Performance of Anti-Aging Genes
2012-05-15
Aging is a process to which all people are subject, but virtually no individual wants to endure. From fine lines to deep wrinkles, aging has the power to change one's skin quite drastically. A team of British scientists has identified several key genes that contribute to the process of aging--a feat that many believe will assist the healthcare and skincare industries in the development of more potent anti-aging therapies. DermaVeratrol, a popular anti-aging brand, believes that its product already works with these genes to create younger looking complexions.
According ...
To get the full flavor, you need the right temperature
2012-05-15
Can the temperature of the food we eat affect the intensity of its taste? It depends on the taste, according to a new study by Dr. Gary Pickering and colleagues from Brock University in Canada. Their work shows that changes in the temperature of foods and drinks have an effect on the intensity of sour, bitter and astringent (e.g. cranberry juice) tastes but not sweetness. Their work is published online in Springer's Chemosensory Perception journal.
We are all familiar with the effect of temperature on taste - think about starting to eat or drink something while it is ...
