and decreases in HDL) and increases in blood markers of inflammation typically seen when the mice consumed a high-fat high-cholesterol diet.
They found that this addition to both diets prevented an increase in the level of LPAS in the small intestine and also stopped increases in bad cholesterol decreases in good cholesterol and systemic inflammation.
#Higher dietary acid load increases risk of diabetes, study saysa study of more than 60 000 women has shown that higher overall acidity of the diet regardless of the individual foods
A western diet rich in animal products and other acidogenic foods can induce an acid load that is not compensated for by fruit and vegetables;
A diet rich in animal protein may favour net acid intake while most fruits and vegetables form alkaline precursors that neutralise the acidity.
and may lead to promotion of diets with a low acid load for the prevention of diabetes.

#Mediterranean diet is good for the mind, research confirmsthe first systematic review of related research confirms a positive impact on cognitive function but an inconsistent effect on mild cognitive impairment.
Over recent years many pieces of research have identified a link between adherence to a Mediterranean diet and a lower risk of age-related disease such as dementia.
In nine out of the 12 studies a higher adherence to a Mediterranean diet was associated with better cognitive function lower rates of cognitive decline and a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease.
A Mediterranean diet typically consists of higher levels of olive oil vegetables fruit and fish. A higher adherence to the diet means higher daily intakes of fruit and vegetables and fish and reduced intakes of meat and dairy products.
While the link between adherence to a Mediterranean diet and dementia risk is not new ours is the first study to systematically analyse all existing evidence.

while grazing gemsbok (Oryx gazella gazella) in contrast switch their diet to a high proportion of poisonous plants
Researchers from theizw the University of Namibia and other Namibian partners found that gemsbok (also called oryx) adjusted its diet according to season.
As the researchers expected springbok opportunistically adjusted their diet in response to variation in food sources availabilities preferring e g. grass sprouts during the wet season and browsing predominantly on leaves of bushes when grass quality decreased during drought.
Springbok therefore adopted a different dietary strategy than gemsbok when facing a shortage of food sources.
The fossil--particularly its dentition which reveals teeth designed for shearing plant matter--confirms a 2012 analysis of tooth types that suggested multituberculates consumed an animal-dominated diet for much of their existence later diversifying to a plant-dominated one.

and its teeth were oriented already for an omnivorous diet. Based on their findings the researchers suggest that such adaptations must have arisen very early in the evolution of the order setting the stage for the major diversification of rodent-like mammals that ensued.
test findswhen mice ate a diet of 25 percent extra sugar--the mouse equivalent of a healthy human diet plus three cans of soda daily--females died at twice the normal rate
The study says the need for a sensitive toxicity test exists not only for components of our diet
A Mouse Diet Equal to What a Quarter of Americans Eatthe experimental diet in the study provided 25 percent of calories from added sugar--half fructose and half glucose--no matter how many calories the mice ate.
The diet fed to the mice with the 25 percent sugar-added diet is equivalent to the diet of a person who drinks three cans daily of sweetened soda pop plus a perfectly healthy no-sugar-added diet Potts says.
The researchers used a mouse supply company that makes specialized diets for research. Chow for the mice was a highly nutritious wheat-corn-soybean mix with vitamins and minerals.
because they've been living on the same diet as we have ever since the agricultural revolution 10000 years ago Potts says.
and then assigned either to the added-sugar diet or the control diet with half the males and half the females on each diet.
while they were fed these diets. Then the mice were placed in the mouse barns to live compete with each other
They all received the same added-sugar diet while in the mouse barns so the study only tested for differences caused by the mice eating different diets for the previous 26 weeks.
The founder mice had implanted microchips like those put in pets. Microchip readers were placed near the feeding stations to record which mice fed where and for how long.
The study found no difference between mice on a regular diet and mice with the 25 percent sugar-added diet

Diets lacking omega-3 fatty acids--found in foods like wild fish eggs and grass-fed livestock--can have worsened effects over consecutive generations especially affecting teens according to a University of Pittsburgh study.

Return of wolves aids grizzly bears in Yellowstonea new study suggests that the return of wolves to Yellowstone national park is beginning to bring back a key part of the diet of grizzly bears that has been missing for much of the past century--berries that help bears

and shrub recovery researchers said this improves the diet and health of grizzly bears. In turn a healthy grizzly bear population provides a second avenue of control on wild ungulates especially on newborns in the spring time.
Because the abundant elk have been an important food for Yellowstone grizzly bears for the past half-century the increased supply of berries may help offset the reduced availability of elk in the bears'diet in recent years.
Before going extinct in the American Southwest by the early 1900s grizzly bear diets shifted toward livestock depredation the report noted
#Athletes need to be careful to monitor diet, weight to maintain muscle massathletes seeking a healthy performance weight should eat high fiber low-fat food balanced with their training regimen

The study also has important implications for research into the diet of early farmers. Archaeologists rely on the stable isotope analysis of the skeletal remains to establish a signature which provides information about what people once ate.
