The study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute is the first to examine the relationship between high-fat and low-fat dairy consumption following a diagnosis of breast cancer and long-term breast cancer survival.
Estrogenic hormones reside primarily in fat so levels are higher in high-fat than in low-fat dairy products.
The researchers studied a cohort of women who were diagnosed with early-stage invasive breast cancer between 1997 and 2000 primarily from Kaiser permanente's Northern California region (83 percent) and the Utah Cancer Registry (12 percent.

These substances tend to concentrate in body fat and they might be one of the reasons why obese people are more likely to develop diabetes since the more fat the higher the COP concentrations in the body.
According to the University of Granada and San Cecilio researcher Juan Pedro Arrebola human adipose tissue (commonly known as fat) acts as an energy reservoir and has an important metabolic function.
As a society Americans'consumption of fish especially fish that contributes to these omega-3 fats is quite low compared to other proteins Drouillard said.
Keeping the omega-3s from becoming saturated fats in cattle's digestive system is a challenge however.
Microorganisms in the rumen--the largest chamber in the cow's stomach--modify most of the ingested fats and turn them into saturated fats.
According to Drouillard substituting omega-3 fatty acids for saturated fats does not change the ground beef's flavor.
Knowing that there are a lot of desirable flavor characteristics associated with the fat in beef we performed tons of sensory panel tests with Kansas State university's meat science faculty
and non-omega-3 beef even though the fats are quite different. The owners of NBO3 Technologies LLC have worked closely with Drouillard in developing the concept

and Vitamin c did not reduce ALS risk. Carotenoids give fruits and vegetables their bright orange red or yellow colors and are a source of dietary Vitamin a.
Prior studies report that oxidative stress plays a role in the development of ALS. Further studies have shown that individuals with high intake of antioxidants such as Vitamin e have reduced a ALS risk.
Because Vitamin c or carotenoids are also antioxidants researchers examined their relation to ALS risk. According to the National Institutes of Neurological disorders and Stroke (NINDS) roughly 20000 to 30000 Americans have known ALS#lso as Lou gehrig s disease#nd another 5000 patients are diagnosed annually with the disease.
ALS is a progressive neurological disease that attacks nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and spinal cord which control voluntary muscles.

Diets high in saturated fat can increase cholesterol and cause heart disease while those rich in omega-3 and other polyunsaturated fatty acids may reduce the risk of heart disease studies have shown.
Traditional cattle feed mixtures of corn grains alfalfa hay and grass silage result in dairy products with low concentrations of omega-3 and other polyunsaturated fats according to Gerd Bobe the lead scientist
At six pounds per day saturated fatty acids in whole milk fat dropped 18 percent polyunsaturated fatty acids increased 82 percent and omega-3 levels rose 70 percent compared to feeding no flaxseed.
Still saturated fat accounted for more than half of the fatty acids in the dairy products while the increase in polyunsaturated fats compromised no more than nearly nine percent of the total.
Researchers also noted that the refrigerated butter was softer and less adhesive thanks to fewer saturated fatty acids.

#Supplements and cows milk play biggest roles in determining Vitamin d levels in childrentaking a Vitamin d supplement
and drinking cow's milk are the two most important factors that determine how much Vitamin d is in a child's body new research has found.
and maintaining optimal Vitamin d levels in early childhood may be important to health outcomes in later childhood
Vitamin d deficiency is a risk factor for a number of illnesses including asthma and allergies in children.
Yet dietary records of Canadian infants show that at 12 months they are receiving only 11 per cent of their recommended daily allowance of Vitamin d through food such as oily fish fortified dairy products and cereals.
Lighter skin produces more Vitamin d than darker skin colours. Dr. Maguire studied Vitamin d blood tests of 1896 health children under 6 years of age.
The children were part of TARGET Kids!(The Applied Research Group for Kids! a unique collaboration between children's doctors and researchers from St michael's Hospital and The Hospital for Sick Children.
Researchers found the two factors most strongly associated with higher Vitamin d stores in children under 6 years of age were taking a daily Vitamin d supplement
Both of those factors were better at predicting a child's Vitamin d stores than skin colour
or measures of exposure to the sun. When it comes to maintaining sufficient Vitamin d stores in young children the story is about dietary intake of Vitamin d through Vitamin d supplementation
and cow's milk said Dr. Maguire who was surprised to find that 57 per cent of the children were taking a regular Vitamin d supplement.
Research published by Dr. Maguire in the journal Pediatrics in December found that drinking two cups of cow's milk per day was enough to maintain adequate Vitamin d levels in most children.

#Natural gene selection can produce orange corn rich in Provitamin a for Africa, U s. Purdue researchers have identified a set of genes that can be used to naturally boost the Provitamin a content of corn kernels a finding that could help combat Vitamin a deficiency in developing countries and macular degeneration in the elderly.
Professor of agronomy Torbert Rocheford and fellow researchers found gene variations that can be selected to change nutritionally poor white corn into biofortified orange corn with high levels of Provitamin a carotenoids--substances
that the human body can convert into Vitamin a. Vitamin a plays key roles in eye health and the immune system as well as in the synthesis of certain hormones.
This study gives us the genetic blueprint to quickly and cost-effectively convert white or yellow corn to orange corn that is rich in carotenoids--and we can do
so using natural plant breeding methods not transgenics said Rocheford the Patterson Endowed Chair of Translational Genomics for Crop Improvement.
Vitamin a deficiency causes blindness in 250000 to 500000 children every year half of whom die within a year of losing their eyesight according to the World health organization.
which has minimal amounts of Provitamin a carotenoids is a dietary mainstay. Insufficient carotenoids may also contribute to macular degeneration in the elderly a leading cause of blindness in older populations in Europe
Previous research by Rocheford and his colleagues identified two genes that contribute to Provitamin a carotenoid levels in corn kernels
and using a number of these favorable genes could be an effective way to rapidly convert white and yellow corn varieties to orange corn with higher levels of Provitamin a and total carotenoids.
We now have the genetic information needed to begin developing a major public-private sector collaboration with the goal of providing orange corn with high levels of Provitamin a to farmers throughout Sub-saharan africa he said.
Their research--in collaboration with Harvestplus and the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center also known as CIMMYT--has yielded varieties of orange corn with markedly higher amounts of Provitamin a carotenoids.

and meat fat but cannot be synthetized by the body. This fatty acid has been shown recently to have health-promoting effects.
Dietary fats could affect glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity and may therefore have a crucial role in the development of type 2 diabetes (T2d).
Studies have indicated that replacing saturated fat with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats might be favourable in the prevention of T2d.
In line with this plant sources of fat have been suggested to be a better choice compared with animal sources.
Indeed high intakes of red meat and meat products have been shown to increase the risk of T2d.
Subsequently the importance of dietary fat content and food sources of fat remains to be clarified.
High-fat fermented milk*consumption also reduced the risk of developing diabetes by 20 %when comparing the highest consumers (180ml/day the top 10%of consumers) with the non-consumers (60%of participants).
In contrast to these findings there was no association found between intakes of low-fat dairy products and risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
but the increased risk was higher for lower fat meats (increased risk of type 2 diabetes for high fat meats 9%for low fat 24%)both referring to the risk
Our observations may contribute to clarifying previous findings regarding dietary fats and their food sources in relation to T2d.
The decreased risk at high intakes of high-fat dairy products but not of low-fat dairy products indicate that dairy fat at least partly explains observed protective associations between dairy intake and T2d.
Meat intake was associated with increased risk of developing diabetes regardless of fat content. She adds:
Our findings suggest that in contrast to animal fats in general fats specific to dairy products may have a role in prevention of type 2 diabetes.

#Breast milk reveals a correlation between dietary fats and academic successyou are what you eat the saying goes
Their findings show that the amount of omega-3 docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in a mother's milk--fats found primarily in certain fish nuts
On the other hand the amount of omega-6 fat in mother's milk--fats that come from vegetable oils such as corn
When the amount of DHA and linoleic acid (LA)--the most common omega-6 fat--were considered together they explained nearly half of the differences in test scores.
Omega-6 fats however undermine the effects of DHA and seem to be bad for brains.
Both kinds of omega fat must be obtained through diet. But because diets vary from place to place for their study Gaulin
and LA content--the good fat and the bad fat--in diets in 50 countries by examining published studies of the fatty acid profiles of women's breast milk.
The profiles are a useful measure for two reasons according to Gaulin. First because various kinds of fats interfere with one another in the body breast milk DHA shows how much of this brain-essential fat survives competition with omega-6. Second children receive their brain-building fats from their mothers.
Breast milk profiles indicate the amount of DHA children in each region receive in the womb through breastfeeding
Now the researchers are looking at diet as the key to brain-building fat since mothers need to acquire these fats in the first place.
Their results are particularly interesting in 21st-century North america Gaulin noted because our current agribusiness-based diets provide very low levels of DHA--among the lowest in the world.
Back in the 1960s in the middle of the cardiovascular disease epidemic people got the idea that saturated fats were bad
and polyunsaturated fats were explained good he. That's one reason margarine became so popular. But the polyunsaturated fats that were increased were the ones with omega-6 not omega-3.
So our message is that not only is it advisable to increase omega 3 intake it's highly advisable to decrease omega-6--the very fats that in the 1960s
and'70s we were told we should be eating more of. Gaulin added that mayonnaise is in general the most omega-6-laden food in the average person's refrigerator.
