Why We Can't Stop Eating Frosting From The Can. Sensing Calories Without Taste. Rodents and fruit flies appear to be able to sense nutrients even when they can’t taste the food they’re eating.

Sensing Calories Without Taste

Now, researchers are trying to figure out how. WIKIMEDIA, TIIA MONTOScientists have engineered fruit flies that can’t taste sugar, and, at first, the insects will show no preference between sugar water and plain water. But after 15 hours without food, the flies start to choose the sugar water, seemingly sensing the fact that the liquid contains life-sustaining calories even though they can’t taste anything. “They sense calories in a way that is somehow independent of tasting the calorie itself,” said Ivan de Araujo, a neurobiologist at Yale University.

Salt linked to autoimmune diseases

The incidence of autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes, has spiked in developed countries in recent decades. In three studies published today in Nature, researchers describe the molecular pathways that can lead to autoimmune disease1 and identify one possible culprit that has been right under our noses — and on our tables — the entire time: salt2, 3. To stay healthy, the human body relies on a careful balance: too little immune function and we succumb to infection, too much activity and the immune system begins to attack healthy tissue, a condition known as autoimmunity. Some forms of autoimmunity have been linked to overproduction of TH17 cells, a type of helper T cell that produces an inflammatory protein called interleukin-17. In the second study2, an affiliated team of researchers observed immune cell production over 72 hours.

Farmers NOTE: For the full report: sued small famers to protect seed patents, report saysPaul Harris in New YorkThe Guardian, 12 February 2013 *Agricultural giant has won more than $23m from its targets, but one case is being heard at Supreme Court this month The agricultural giant Monsanto has sued hundreds of small farmers in the United States in recent years in attempts to protect its patent rights on genetically engineered seeds that it produces and sells, a new report said on Tuesday. The study, produced jointly by the Center for Food Safety and the Save Our Seeds campaigning groups, has outlined what it says is a concerted effort by the multinational to dominate the seeds industry in the US and prevent farmers from replanting crops they have produced from Monsanto seeds.

The Worst Lies That Mainstream Nutrition Has Told You

The nutritional advice industry is like the exercise advice industry. Everyone everywhere is doing it wrong, always, and what is "right" this year will kill you next year. There is the further assumption that the human optimum in nutrition and exercise is incredibly narrow and incredibly deep, so hitting them "just right" will result in an enormously long, healthy life, and a tiny deviation will lead to rickets, scurvy and dogs and cats living together.
