ScienceDaily (Apr. 20, 2010) — Three years ago, geneticists reported the startling discovery that nearly half of all people in the U.S. with European ancestry carry a variant of the fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene, which causes them to gain weight — from three to seven pounds, on average — but worse, puts them at risk for obesity.

ScienceDaily (Apr. 15, 2010) — Organisms from yeast to rodents to humans all benefit from cutting calories. In less complex organisms, restricting calories can double or even triple lifespan. It’s not yet clear just how much longer calorie restriction might help humans live, but those who practice the strict diet hope to survive past 100 years old.

A study has found that healthy food is not so affordable, as the prices of fruit and vegetables are fast increasing. The five-year study in Queensland, which is likely to reflect national trends, found that while snacks and confectionery increased in price by about 31 percent, the price of fruit soared by more than 112 per cent. Overall, fresh produce and other healthy foods increased in price by 50...

Healthy Diet Cuts Alzheimer’s Disease Risk – Alzheimer’s disease is something that everyone would like to avoid, if only they knew how.
