Although popular high-protein bars shakes and other products aren't the best way to get your protein experts say.

In 2012 19 percent of new food and beverage products launched in the United states were labeled as being high-protein according to Mintel a market research company.

A bar or shake might seem like an easy way to get the recommended amount of protein

High-protein bars and shakes are often high in calories (and sugar) too and don't leave people feeling full in the same way that a well-rounded meal with a variety of flavors

It's best to get protein from real food rather than from bars shakes or other supplements.

#Sparkling wines from Sussex? Climate Change Swirls Wine Production (Op-Ed) Antonio Busalacchi directs the University of Maryland Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center and chairs the World Climate Research

Programme's Joint Scientific Committee and the National Research Council board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate.

and Certified Wine Educator and operates wine and vineyard consulting firm Vinoveritas LLC. He contributed this article to Livescience's Expert Voices:

In the not too distant future your favorite style of French wine may not come from its namesake region or even from France at all.

Climate change is altering growing conditions in wine-producing regions and in coming decades it will change the wines produced in these regions in some cases shifting northward the growth of grape varieties long associated with regions further south.

Climate change will produce winners and losers among wine-growing regions and for every region it will result in changes to the alcohol acid sugar tannins

and color contained in each wine. My research assistant Eric Hackert and I have analyzed climate change impacts on two dozen of the world's major wine-producing regions across both the Old

and New worlds providing snapshots of what conditions will be like at the middle and end of this century.

For example several Champagne houses already are looking at land in Sussex and Kent in southern England as potential sites for new vineyards because as climate warms the region those areas are becoming more hospitable to quality grape growing.

The soil type in the region (note the white cliffs of Dover) is similar to the chalky substrate of Champagne

and the cost of land is 30 times less than the premium to be paid per hectare in France.

Our research suggests Bordeaux and several other regions will suffer compressed growing seasons that yield unbalanced low-acid wines that lack complexity.

South africa and South australia likely will see declines in wine production due to severe droughts. Extreme events such as heat waves that shut down photosynthesis

and hail storms that can ruin a chateau's annual production in a matter of minutes will become more commonplace.

wines will lose their traditional character. Taken to an extreme a wine from the Left bank of Bordeaux may move away from the classic aromas of cedar cigar box blackcurrants and green pepper and more toward the full rich spicy-peppery profile of a Chã¢teauneuf-du-Pape

from the Southern Rhone. Given that most grapevines produce fruit for 25 to 50 years grape growers

and wine makers must consider the long term when determining what to plant where to plant and how to manage their vineyards.

In the Old world traditions may need to change with the times as appellation regulations restrict irrigation wine-making practices

Adaptations in grape growing and wine making represent only a few of the many adjustments the world will have to make as a result of the warming planet.

Beverages Pack Calorie Punch (Op-Ed) Katherine Tallmadge M. A r. D. is registered a dietitian author of Diet Simple:

Juicing is all the rage these days with juice cleanses celebrity-sponsored juicers and Starbucks opening its first juice bar.

I've been drinking orange juice every morning of my life. You'd think I'd be sick of it by now.

But every morning I look forward to my sunshine in a glassand it never disappoints especially

But I limit my juice to four ounces in the morning because while it packs a nutritional punch it also puts on pounds and fast!

Here's an example of how. One of my clients Caroline was successfully losing weight

In her case as is the case with many people that extra glass of wine

or mixer or juice as a snack here and there can add up in ways we don't expect.

Liquid calories in just about any form alcohol juice or soda are stealth calories. They come in undetected under the radar screen

When drinking fluid calories people often end up eating more calories overall. This may help explain the results of a study by researchers from Harvard university

The researchers behind that study found that women who increased their intake of sugar-sweetened beverages such as sodas

or fruit punch from one per week to one or more per day added 358 calories daily and gained significant weight.

Emerging research is finding the hunger hormone ghrelin may play a key physiological role in the weight gain associated with juices and other drinks.

and their varying effects on ghrelin other researchers have found that drinking fluids may produce varying degrees of satiety depending on

Research has established fairly well that alcoholic beverages and sugary liquids especially sodas and fruit drinks aren't completely registered

or compensated for by the body and simply add extra calories. Some beverages cross over the line into being a food says Barbara Rolls professor of nutritional sciences at Pennsylvania State university.

She conducted studies that found people felt more satiated and consumed fewer calories when they had based milk drinks at the beginning of a meal.

The high protein levels in addition to cognitive beliefs about milk being a food may make it more satiating.

One glass of wine contains at least 100 calories and one mixed drink can set you back 300 calories or more.

Double or triple these numbers at any given party tack on the calories in your meals

Levey wrote about the importance of cutting out his daily lemonade in his successful weight-loss effort.

A friend of mine Linda slowly phased out her daily soda by adding more and more ice to it each week until she was only drinking water.

The one liquid that's important to keep drinking is water. In the wintertime I love sipping water as teas throughout the day.

In the summer it's seltzer with a twist of lemon or lime and in moderation the occasional diet soda.

Of course if people are mindful of their calorie intake a moderate daily dose of wine

or other caloric beverage won't hurt once in a while. The key is mindfulness and moderation. Katherine discussed juicing on National Public Radio's Kojo Nnamdi Show on WAMU 88.5 FM.

Why Some People Taste Things More Bitter It has been a mystery why some people love some vegetables like broccoli

not only people's genetic makeup that determines people's reaction to broccoli's bitter taste

The 7 (Other) Flavors Humans May Taste In the study 18 people with the same bitter taste genes rated the bitterness level of several beverages including broccoli juice and carrot juice.

The researchers took small samples of tissue from the participants'taste buds. Taste buds small bumps that cover the tongue contain taste receptors.

The researchers measured the amount of a molecule in the taste buds called MESSENGER RNA (mrna)

which contains instructions for making bitter taste receptors. The results showed a direct relationship between how much mrna people's cells made and their bitterness ratings of broccoli juice.

People who had the most mrna for bitter taste receptor rated the juice as most bitter.

The amount of MESSENGER RNA that taste cells choose to make may be the missing link in explaining why some people with'moderate taster'genes still are extremely sensitive to bitterness in foods

and drinks said study researcher Danielle Reed a geneticist at Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia.

It might be that people with low expression of bitter receptor genes who find vegetables to taste less bitter are more likely to include them in their diet than people with high expression of these genes the researchers said.

or beverage high in protein about 20 minutes before and again immediately after your strength-training workout.

Surprise Tea! A new study has found that tea improves muscular strength. Tea? Apparently as people age oxidative stress and inflammation cause age-related breakdowns of muscle and bone.

Tea's healthy compounds called polyphenols reduce oxidative stress and inflammation preventing this breakdown and even improving muscular strength and bone mass.

A recent study funded by the National institutes of health's National Center for Complementary and Alternative medicine looked into tea's effects on muscle.

In the study postmenopausal women with osteopenia (the beginning of osteoporosis or brittle bones) were given tea

or performed Tai Chi exercises. After six months the tea alone caused an improvement in muscle strength and bone-building biomarkers.

You can learn more about the health benefits of tea here. Tai Chi alone certainly not the rigorous or impactful exercise that researchers understand is necessary for muscle

and bone building also helped. Apparently Tai Chi reduces inflammation and oxidative stress too. With the amazing results of that study in mind it makes sense that any foods high in antioxidants

and anti-inflammatory compounds such as fruits and vegetables may help improve bone and muscle strength. And if Tai Chi helps improve bone

Areas the institute protects include watersheds that provide drinking water for SãO Paulo. Unlike some other organizations they haven't overextended themselves Jenkins said.

One could just as easily include green tea coffee dark chocolate yogurt and olives to the superfood list for a variety of reasons mentioned above.

For example green tea has several antioxidants. But green tea sold in the United states is generally cut with inferior teas

and brewed with copious amounts of sugar. The Japanese and Chinese generally do not drink green tea with sugar.

Many kinds of super-juices acai berry noni fruit pomegranate can be added high in sugar.

Similarly many whole grains are processed in a way to be more palatable and less healthful. According to research by David Ludwig at Harvard university instant whole-grain oats is as unhealthy as overly processed white bread in that it quickly spikes the sugar levels in the bloodstream once consumed

First we built a test apparatus with two chambers that bees could fly into and drink from one of two targets.

If the bees landed on the target located above a black bar they would find sucrose a rewarding sugary solution.

But if they landed on the target below a black bar they would find a distasteful bitter solution.

which target was situated above the black bar. But we then made things a bit harder for the bees.

We varied the difficulty of the tests by placing the targets closer to the black bar.

Bees opted out more often on trials where the targets were closer to the black bars.

#What Is Vodka? From its humble medieval origins as a medicinal agent vodka has conquered the world.

In 2012 tipplers downed 1. 17 billion gallons (4. 44 billion liters) of the distilled alcoholic beverage making it the world's most popular spirit.

But what is made vodka from? To produce vodka you must first ferment any foodstuff that contains sugar

or starch then distill the product to increase its alcohol content. Fermentation means feeding sugar to yeast so that the yeast can produce alcohol.

Today most vodka is made from fermented grains such as sorghum corn rice rye or wheat though you can also use potatoes fruits or even just sugar.

The fermentation step creates a product with only about 16 percent alcohol by volume (ABV) too low for spirits.

Upping that number requires distillation or heating in a container called a still. Because alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water you can collect the evaporated alcohol separating it from the water.

Most vodka is 30 to 40 percent ABV. Rectified spirits like the American brand Everclear reach 95 to 96 percent ABV.

The first records of vodka come from ninth-century Russia and eighth-century Poland. Vodka's popularity spread with Russian soldiers during the Napoleonic wars After the Russian revolution one vodka maker relocated to Paris

and started a distillery under the now-famous French spelling of his name: Smirnoff. Follow Michael Dhar@michaeldhar. Follow Livescience@livescience. We're also on Facebook & Google+l

#What Is Your Food Eating? If you have kids you probably worry whether or not they re getting the right nutrients.

Flavor is a combination of input to the brain from the taste buds and from the nose.

Yet it combines with the input from other volatiles as well as input from the taste buds to create the perception of sweetness in the brain.

and his colleagues gave 12 overweight and obese young men two drinks. One contained cornstarch which has a low glycemic index meaning it causes only a gradual rise in blood sugar.

The other drink contained corn syrup which has a high glycemic index. The researchers used artificial zero-calorie sweeteners to make the two drinks taste identical.

The men who received the high-glycemic index drink showed a dramatic spike in blood sugar after consuming the drink.

But four hours later their blood sugar levels crashed and they reported being very hungry. At the same time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scans of those who drank the corn syrup drink showed increased activation in a region of the brain called the nucleus accumbens

and cravings in past research compared with the men who drank the low-glycemic index drink.

#Why Do People Drink Milk? Milk is recognized widely as a nutritious drink for people of all ages it's a good source of protein calcium Vitamin d potassium and other vitamins and minerals.

When de la Rosa did research online he was surprised to find more evidence of tear-drinking than he expected not only from scientists but also casual tourists wilderness enthusiasts and professional photographers.

This suggests tear-drinking or lachryphagous behavior may not be as rare as biologists had assumed. It remains uncertain

whether the reptiles somehow benefit from such tear-drinking. The reptiles may allow insects to drink tears simply
