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.
Drinking more cow's milk could deplete iron stores in children's bodies. The study published January 14 was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the St michael's Foundation.

beernovel forms of phenolic compounds have been discovered from barley and beer. The results will open new interesting possibilities for evaluation of possible health benefits of barley and beer.
The study published in Journal of Cereal Science by MTTÂ's senior research scientist Juha-Matti Pihlava shows that the diversity of chemical defense compounds typical to barley namely hordatines
but also in beers brewed from barley malts. Japanese research teams have linked previously beer hordatines to some physiological effects.
Hordatines in beer may stimulate gastrointestinal motility by binding to certain reseptors in smooth involuntary muscles.
Japanese scientists have identified also hordatines as anstringent compounds responsible for at least partly beer aftertaste. More information is needed of the possible health effects of hordatines their precursor and other phenolamides.
However even at this point these findings could be utilized in development of new barley based functional products says Pihlava.

For trans fat sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juices red and/or processed meat and sodium a higher score corresponded to lower intake.
The authors used a recently updated index the Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI-2010) for further analysis. The energy-adjusted average AHEI-2010 score increased from 39.9 in 1999-2000 to 46.8

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.
Raw meats also may have juices that leak and there is a possibility that the juices may cross-contaminate ingredients on lower shelves.
The safest place to store raw meat in the refrigerator is on the bottom shelf. The research found mixed results on this with most of the consumers in Argentina and Colombia storing meat on higher shelves putting them at a higher risk for contamination.
Wine residue, herbal additives found in palace cellar jarsa Bronze age palace excavation reveals an ancient wine cellar according to a study published August 27 2014 in the open-access journal PLOS
Wine production distribution and consumption are thought to have played a role in the lives of those living in the Mediterranean
and Near east during the Middle Bronze age (1900-1600 BC) but little archaeological evidence about Bronze age wine is available to support art
and documentation about the role wine played during this period. During a 2013 excavation of the Middle Bronze age Canaanite palace in modern-day Israel the researchers in this study found 40 large storage vessels in an enclosed room located to the west of the central courtyard.
An organic residue analysis using mass spectrometry revealed that all of the relatively uniform jars contained chemical compounds indicative of wine.

#Bamboo pale Ale beer from modern craft breweryin order to be a novel alternative in the industry of microbreweries in Mexico a young entrepreneur opted for the manufacture

So he returned to Mexico with the firm idea of entering the craft beer market with a unique formula.
and applied precisely in the part of the beer fermentation prepared with two hops yeast and wheat malt he adds.

or mixed into drinks to simplify and assist the pharmacological effects of the herbs. Known to be rich in Vitamin c the mango is regarded as one of the most popular fruits from the tropics.
Our interest has been at incorporating an extract from local Malaysian herbs into the mango drink to create a new way of enjoying the goodness of mango.
However some herbs are not suitable for incorporation into mango drink due to the pungent taste and colour of the herb extract
which could interrupt the organoleptic properties of the mango drink. The objective of the present work was to produce a new mango drink enriched with the antioxidants of the mas cotek (Ficus deltoidea) herb.
Our results suggest that mas cotek could be a suitable herb for adding to mango drink.
when incorporated into mango drink the mas cotek aqueous extract did not affect the organoleptic properties of the drink.
