and leafy vegetables and fruits have a lower risk of developing diabetes even when they don't lose weight Dr. Hamdy says.
Foods such as oat cereal yogurt and dairy products green leafy vegetables grapes apples blueberries and walnuts were associated with reduced diabetes risk.
Drinking coffee and even decaffeinated coffee were associated also with lower type 2 diabetes risk. Participants who followed a Mediterranean eating plan--without restricting calories--showed a greater improvement in glycemic control
Foods associated with a higher risk of diabetes include red and processed meat sugar-sweetened beverages alcohol in excess quantities and refined grains such as white flour.
Current evidence shows that some fats such as those from red and processed meats are associated with higher cardiovascular risk
while other fats such as those from vegetable oils and nuts are associated with lower risk. The Joslin nutritional guidelines for diabetes recommend a diet with relatively high amounts of healthy fats and protein but moderately low amounts of carbohydrates.

#Delivery by drone: New algorithm lets drones monitor their own health during long package-delivery missionsin the near future the package that you ordered online may be deposited at your doorstep by a drone:
Last December online retailer Amazon announced plans to explore drone-based delivery suggesting that fleets of flying robots might serve as autonomous messengers that shuttle packages to customers within 30 minutes of an order.
To ensure safe timely and accurate delivery drones would need to deal with a degree of uncertainty in responding to factors such as high winds sensor measurement errors or drops in fuel.
But such what-if planning typically requires massive computation which can be difficult to perform on the fly.
Now MIT researchers have come up with a two-pronged approach that significantly reduces the computation associated with lengthy delivery missions.
In simulations involving multiple deliveries under various environmental conditions the researchers found that their drones delivered as many packages as those that lacked health-monitoring algorithms--but with far fewer failures or breakdowns.
With something like package delivery which needs to be done persistently over hours you need to take into account the health of the system says Ali-akbar Agha-mohammadi a postdoc in MIT's Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics.
As Agha-mohammadi explains it MDP is the process of reasoning about the future to determine the best sequence of policies to minimize risk.

but only sterile hybrid Miscanthus Ãgiganteus types are considered low risk. However the EPA has approved Miscanthus as a feedstock without specifying a species
That's fine for the low-risk sterile types but could mean higher-risk fertile types could be approved without additional oversight.
According to Quinn the white list which includes 49 low-risk feedstock plants will serve to clear up the confusion about plant names.
The list was developed using an existing weed risk assessment protocol which includes 49 questions that must be asked about a particular species based on its biology ecology

and the United states decided to examine the association between fruit and vegetable intake and risk of all-cause cardiovascular and cancer deaths.
Higher consumption of fruit and vegetables was associated significantly with a lower risk of death from all causes particularly from cardiovascular diseases.
Average risk of death from all causes was reduced by 5%for each additional daily serving of fruit
and vegetables while risk of cardiovascular death was reduced by 4 percent for each additional daily serving of fruit and vegetables.
which the risk of death did not reduce further. In contrast higher consumption of fruit and vegetables was associated not appreciably with risk of death from cancer.
The researchers suggest that as well as advice to eat adequate amounts of fruit and vegetables the adverse effects of obesity physical inactivity smoking and high alcohol intake on cancer risk should be emphasised further.
The researchers say their study provides further evidence that a higher consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with a lower risk of mortality from all causes particularly from cardiovascular diseases.
The results support current recommendations to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables to promote health and longevity.

#Health risks posed by third hand tobacco smokeresearch led by the University of York has highlighted the potential cancer risk in nonsmokers--particularly young children--of tobacco smoke gases
Until now the risks of this exposure known as'third hand tobacco smoke'have been highly uncertain and not considered in public policy.
However a new study published in the journal Environment International has estimated for the first time the potential cancer risk by age group through non-dietary ingestion and dermal exposure to third hand smoke.
Using observations of house dust composition they estimated the cancer risk by applying the most recent official toxicology information.
They found that for children aged one to six years old the cancer risks exceeded the limit recommended by the US Environmental protection agency (EPA) in three quarters of smokers'homes and two thirds of nonsmokers'homes.
The maximum risk predicted from the third hand smoke levels in a smoker occupied home equated to one extra cancer case per one thousand population exposed.
The risks of tobacco exposure do not end when a cigarette is extinguished. Nonsmokers especially children are also at risk through contact with surfaces
and dust contaminated with residual smoke gases and particles the so-called third hand smoke. This risk should not be overlooked
and its impact should be included in future educational programs and tobacco-related public health policies. Each year 600000 people die worldwide through passive inhalation of environmental tobacco smoke also known as second hand smoke.
and whereas there is a general public awareness about the harms of second hand smoke there is little knowledge about the dangers of third hand smoke.

But new research at Washington University School of medicine in St louis finds that smoking itself may increase suicide risk
Indoor smoking bans also were associated with risk reductions. Grucza's team analyzed data compiled as individual states took different approaches to taxing cigarettes
They learned that suicide risk among people most likely to smoke was associated with policies related to tobacco taxes and smoking restrictions.
Although scientists have known for years that people who smoke have a higher risk for suicide they had assumed the risk was related to the psychiatric disorders that affect many smokers.
These new findings however suggest smoking may increase the risk for psychiatric disorders or make them more severe
which in turn can influence suicide risk. We really need to look more closely at the effects of smoking
We don't know exactly how smoking influences suicide risk. It could be that it affects depression or increases addiction to other substances.
Grucza suspects nicotine may be an important influence on suicide risk. Based on the study's results he said he is concerned that many new restrictions on public smoking don't cover newer e-cigarettes
The researchers also looked at socioeconomic changes combining a risk assessment with an environmental and economic model.

â#¢The safety of electronic cigarettes has not been demonstrated adequately. â#¢The addictive power of nicotine
and its untoward effects should not be underestimated. â#¢The potential benefits of electronic nicotine delivery devices including harm reduction
and safety claims regarding electronic nicotine delivery devices should be subject to evidentiary review. â#¢Adverse health effects for third parties exposed to the emissions of electronic cigarettes cannot be excluded. â#¢Electronic nicotine
delivery devices should be restricted or banned at least until more information about their safety is available. â#¢
If electronic nicotine delivery devices are permitted they should be regulated as medicines and subject to the same evidentiary review of other medicines. â#¢If electronic nicotine delivery devices are regulated not as medicines they should be regulated as tobacco products. â#¢Research supported by sources other than the tobacco
or electronic cigarette. â#¢industry should be carried out to determine the impact of electronic nicotine delivery devices on health in a wide variety of settings. â#¢The use
and population effects of electronic nicotine delivery devices should be monitored. â#¢All information derived from this research should be conveyed to the public in a clear manner.
