and made the jump to chickens at least twice. As the researchers studied the H7n9 flu they found a previously unknown virus called H7n7.
and chickens is common. Many flu viruses Guan noted don't cause people any problems. They spread through poultry populations
chickens ducks quail geese pigeons and partridges. They sequenced the virus's genomes and the results are published Thursday (Aug 22) in the journal Nature.
It seems to spread easily from chickens to people though there's no evidence of sustained person-to-person transmission.
A key development for the virus was altering its proteins so it could bind to the cells in the upper respiratory tracts of chickens.
However once the virus infects the chickens'upper respiratory tract people in close contact with the animals are more likely to be infected.
The simplest way to deal with outbreaks Guan said is to cull the chickens and ban the overnight storage of live poultry.
Plus the turkey's white meat and dark meat should ideally be cooked to different temperatures. You don't want white meat to be overcooked
because it begins to dry out Bishop said. Dark meat on the other hand shouldn't be undercooked because it'll be chewy.
The easiest and most reliable way to ensure parts of the turkey are not under
Before taking the turkey out of the oven the white meat in the breast should be 160 degrees F (71 degrees C)
and the dark meat in the thighs and legs should be 165 degrees (74 degrees Celsius).
We've found that really helps get juicier breast meat and rather than basting the bird this is one thing worth doing.
But if you let the meat rest the muscle fibers will hold onto their internal moisture as you carve.
and meanwhile the breast meat is drying out. If you don't want to cook the stuffing separately

Elizabeth Buffalo the study's lead author is an associate professor of neurology at Emory University School of medicine.
Buffalo's experiment changed that. In research reported in November in the journal Nature three Rhesus monkeys looked at images on a computer screen
When Buffalo and her coworkers compared eye-tracking results to the electrode measurements they found that the monkeys like the rats were using neurons in the entorhinal cortex to construct a triangular grid they could superimpose on their environment.
We tend to explore things with our eyes said Buffalo and unlike the rats in the original experiments primates don't have to actually visit a place to construct the same kind of mental map.
Showing the monkeys the same picture twice enabled Buffalo to link grid cells to memory.
This suggests that grid cells may provide a kind of framework for making associations said Buffalo.
One of Buffalo's research interests is the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases. Studies of brain changes in Alzheimer's disease in humans consistently show localized degeneration in the same parts of the entorhinal cortex where Buffalo found grid cells in monkeys.
May-Britt Moser one of the authors of the original Norwegian study described Buffalo's results as extremely exciting.
She suspects that the cells Buffalo observed which respond to the monkeys'eye movements may represent a new type of grid cell
--and that grid cells may start turning up in a variety of neurological contexts. In the brainwhat works will be used over and over again said Moser.
Now that we've identified them there are so many questions we can ask Buffalo said. Eleanor Nelsen is a science writer based in Madison Wisconsin.
#'Meat Mummies'Kept Egyptian Royalty Well-fed After Death Care for some ribs? The royal mummies of ancient Egypt apparently did as a new study finds that meat mummies left in Egyptian tombs as sustenance for the afterlife were treated with elaborate balms to preserve them.
Mummified cuts of meat are common finds in ancient Egyptian burials with the oldest dating back to at least 3300 B c. The tradition extended into the latest periods of mummification in the fourth century A d. The famous pharaoh King
Tutankhamun went to his final resting place accompanied by 48 cases of beef and poultry.
But meat mummies have been unstudied mostly until now. University of Bristol biogeochemist Richard Evershed and his colleagues were curious about how these cuts were prepared.
They also wondered if the mummification methods for meat differed from how Egyptians mummified people or pets.
The team analyzed four samples from meat mummies archived at the Cairo and British museums.
The oldest was a rack of cattle ribs from the tomb of Tjuiu an Egyptian noblewoman and her courtier Yuya.
The beef dates back to between 1386 B c. and 1349 B c. Gallery: Scanning Mummies for Heart disease The second sample dated to between 1064 B c
. and 948 B c. and consisted of meat from a calf found in the tomb of Isetemkheb D a sister and wife to a high priest in Thebes.
The final two samples were from the tomb of a Theban priestess Henutmehyt who died around 1290 B c. One of the meat mummies found in Henutmehyt's tomb was duck
and the other was probably goat. The researchers conducted a chemical analysis of the bandages or the meat itself in all four samples.
They found that animal fat coated the bandages of the calf and goat mummies; in the case of the calf the fat was on bandages not in contact with the meat suggesting it had been smeared on as a preservative rather than seeping through as grease.
The most intriguing chemical profile appeared on the beef mummy however. The bandaging around the mummy contained remnants of an elaborate balm made of fat or oil and resin from a Pistacia tree a shrubby desert plant.
This resin was a luxury item in ancient Egypt Evershed and his colleagues report today (Nov 18) in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Nevertheless it makes sense to see a sophisticated embalming substance on the beef cut the researchers wrote.

#New Culprit in Red Meat Linked with Heart disease The high amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol in red meat have long been blamed for increasing people's risk of heart disease.
But now new research points a finger at another culprit in meat that may be tied more closely to this leading killer.
A new study reveals that a nutrient called l-carnitine which is found in red meat
and is also popular as a dietary supplement may also play a role in the development of heart disease.
We now have an understanding of a new nutritional pathway that helps explain the longstanding recognition of a link between red meat
The pathway involves the gut bacteria that metabolize carnitine in people who regularly eat meat he said.
Hazen and his research team suspected there must be something else in red meat besides its cholesterol
Carnitine is a nutrient found at high levels in red meat but fish poultry milk and other dairy products are also good food sources of it.
As for how carnitine in red meat may be linked with heart disease Hazen explained that chronic ingestion of carnitine fundamentally shifts the metabolism of cholesterol.
what happens when people eat carnitine comparing 51 people who normally eat meat to 23 people who were vegetarian
The researchers found that adults who avoid meat and eat fewer animal products produced much lower concentrations of TMAO in the blood compared with the meat eaters.
If you're eating a lot of red meat this study argues to consider cutting back Hazen said.
He recommended decreasing the frequency of eating red meat and its portion size. For people taking carnitine supplements Hazen said he's unaware of a compelling study that shows a dramatic benefit from them.
And taking the supplement could be influencing a person's long-term risk of heart disease he suggested.
A compound called carnitine found in in red meat and supplements may increase the risk of heart disease.
Both the fossil tomatillo and today's plants have husks with five major and five minor ribs he added.
Scientists found that eating lots of saturated fat-filled red meat and highly processed and salted meats is associated with a higher risk of death.</

and also specifically from cancer or heart disease over a 10-year period compared with people who eat less of those meats.

What surprised researchers was the discovery that quail changed their approach to camouflage as their eggs got darker.

And charring meats and vegetables creates cancer-causing chemicals. The solution however is not to stop all cooking
the liver and the colon. In reality toxins can accumulate anywhere in the body particularly in fat and fatty tissue but also in proteins and bone.
As for the liver the confusion is that this organ filters toxins and must therefore the reasoning goes be loaded with toxins.
But the liver is more of a chemical-processing plant than a filter; it breaks down toxins as they pass through.
That is the liver doesn't have extra toxins by virtue of it being the body's natural toxin-neutralizer.
and overwhelm the liver. In short there are no foods or herbs that can magically bind and pull toxins from your blood or organs.
And a healthful plant-rich diet with plenty of water can in general help your liver

and even tiny spaceships made of deep fried scallops. Novelty food suppliers have become early adopters of similar technology.
In this area one of the most interesting and perhaps controversial areas is the debate about printing meat.
Some suggest 3d printed meat could provide high quality protein for a growing global population without increasing stress on arable land

They cultured biopsied bovine cells to produce sheets of tissue eventually forming either meat or hide.
and ate cultured pork live at a TEDMED conference. Currently it is very expensive to produce tiny volumes of printed meat with estimates of thousands of dollars to make a pound of meat in the lab
. But could the process be scaled up and cell cultures made cheaper? Biopsies aren t the only sources for culture.
Industrial scale printing of meat could additionally use cells grown in an algae-based cell culture
For vegetarians printed meat somewhat circumvents concerns about harmful or destructive use of animals for food.

While we typically oeeat with our eyes and printed meat could be made in familiar shapes
That is if printed meat could be proven safe. Printed meat may result in a debate akin to that on GMO foods.
Certainly the public will want to know whether printed foods are safe for human consumption. Consumers will most likely demand adequate protections to ensure the development of printed foods does not limit their access to

While no specific printed food exploration exists yet similar forms of community engagement have been developed in Australia through the Science and Technology Engagement Pathways framework (STEP.

The study the largest of its kind compared the longevity of meat eaters to that of four types of vegetarians:
pesco-vegetarians who eat fish but rarely meat; and semi-vegetarians who eat meat no more than once weekly.
The winners in terms of cheating death the longest were the pesco-vegetarians followed by vegans and then the lacto-ovo-vegetarians.
The vegetarian groups on average had a 12 percent lower risk of dying over the study period compared to meat eaters.
Is it the absence of meat or the presence of a health-conscious attitude shared by many vegetarians or both that leads to healthier outcomes?
