#Mom's Diet Linked to Risk of Preterm Birth Pregnant women who eat a diet rich in vegetables fruits

and whole grains and drink plenty of water may have a lower risk of giving birth before their pregnancy reaches full term a large new study from Norway suggests.

Preterm delivery defined as giving birth between 22 and 37 weeks of pregnancy is linked with short-and long-term health problems in children and accounts for nearly 75 percent of all newborn deaths according to the study.

The biggest risk factor for preterm labor is having a previous preterm birth though factors such as smoking alcohol or drug use inadequate prenatal care

Eating the prudent diet was linked to a lower risk of preterm birth especially for women who were having their first baby the analysis showed.

Eating the traditional diet was linked also to a lower risk of preterm delivery compared with the Western diet but to a lesser extent than the prudent diet.

and preterm delivery said Dr. Shilpi Mehta-Lee an OB/GYN at NYU Langone Medical center who was not part of the research.

#Certain Starch May Reduce Colon-cancer Risk of Meat-Heavy Diet Eating your steak with a side of potatoes

6 Tips to Reduce Your Risk However adding resistance starch to the diet mitigated some of this increase according to a study published today (Aug 4) in the journal Cancer Prevention Research.

This finding supports consumption of resistant starch as a means of reducing the risk associated with a high red-meat diet.

Consuming too much alcohol smoking and not exercising are among risk factors for colon cancer. Studies have found that people who eat a lot of red meat are more likely to develop colon cancer

whereas those who eat a lot of fiber appear to have reduced a risk of the cancer. Further research is needed to determine whether a diet high in resistant starch results in a lower risk of actually developing cancer.

But there is reason to think that eating resistant starch does bring such a benefit. When it is broken down starch transforms into compounds called butyrates

#Skipping Red Meat May Lower Breast cancer Risk Women who eat more poultry fish nuts and legumes and less red meat when they are young adults might have lower risk of developing breast cancer later in life according to a new study.

The researchers looked at nearly 89000 women ages 26 to 45 and followed them for 20 years to look at links between the women's diet as they reported it in 1991 and their risk of breast cancer.

By the end of the study period 2830 women had been diagnosed with breast cancer. The women who reported the highest consumption of red meat about 1. 6 servings daily had a 22 percent higher risk of breast cancer compared with women who ate the least red meat

or about 0. 2 servings daily according to the findings published today (June 10) in the journal BMJ.

Each serving per day increase in red meat was associated with a 13 percent increase in risk of breast cancer the researchers wrote in their paper.

and hence a public health concern they wrote. 6 Foods That May Affect Breast cancer Risk The results also showed that eating more poultry in early adulthood was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women.

The researchers estimated that replacing one daily serving of red meat with a serving of other protein-rich foods may reduce risk of breast cancer by 14 percent.

Although it's not clear how red meat may increase the risk of cancer researchers are investigating several possible mechanisms.

when the researchers accounted for other factors that could affect the risk of breast cancer such as age weight race family history of breast cancer history of benign breast disease smoking habits and oral contraceptive use.

when levels of other risk factors changed. They found that only oral contraceptives seemed to further increase the risk associated with red meat.

For each daily serving of red meat the risk of breast cancer was 54 percent higher among women who currently used oral contraceptives

and 11 percent higher in women who were former users of the contraceptives. The researchers detailed the findings today (June 10) in the journal BMJ.

Levels of folate and Vitamin b6 had a stronger link to breast cancer risk in the study according to the March 2003 paper published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
