James M. Rippe, MD, founder and director of the Rippe Lifestyle Institute and professor of biomedical sciences at the University of Central Florida, presented a summary of recent research entitled -- "High Fructose Corn Syrup, Sucrose and Fructose: What Do We Really Know? " Based on Dr. "While there has been a lot of media attention lately focused on the claims that HFCS is somehow more likely to cause obesity and chronic disease than other sweeteners, the evidence simply does not support those claims," said Dr. That anxiety may be in your gut, not in your head. Diet 'can reverse kidney failure' in mice with diabetes.
23 April 2011Last updated at 11:36 The ketogenic diet is 87% fat A controlled diet high in fat and low in carbohydrate can repair kidney damage in diabetic mice, according to US scientists.
The study, published in journal PLoS ONE, showed a "ketogenic diet" could reverse damage caused to tubes in the kidneys by too much sugar in the blood. In the UK around a third of the 2.8m people with either type 1 or 2 diabetes go on to develop kidney damage. Diabetes UK said it was "questionable" whether humans could sustain the diet. Damage reversed The researchers at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York used mice with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Once kidney damage had developed, half the mice were put onto the ketogenic diet for eight weeks. Gut Bacteria Divide People Into 3 Types, Scientists Report. Is Sugar Toxic? On May 26, 2009, Robert Lustig gave a lecture called “Sugar: The Bitter Truth,” which was posted on YouTube the following July.
Since then, it has been viewed well over 800,000 times, gaining new viewers at a rate of about 50,000 per month, fairly remarkable numbers for a 90-minute discussion of the nuances of fructose biochemistry and human physiology. Lustig is a specialist on pediatric hormone disorders and the leading expert in childhood obesity at the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine, which is one of the best medical schools in the country. He published his first paper on childhood obesity a dozen years ago, and he has been treating patients and doing research on the disorder ever since. To see the full article, subscribe here.

Brain scan leaves no sour taste › News in Science (ABC Science) News in Science Friday, 2 September 2011 Clare PainABC Taste sensation Scientists have pinpointed 'hotspots' in the brains of mice that respond to each of the known taste senses, except for one - sour.
The research, led by Professor Charles Zuker and Dr Xiaoke Chen of Columbia University in the United States, suggests that there is a similar map for taste in the brain, just as there are maps for vision and hearing. The work is reported in the journal Science this week. Although we experience foods as having a wide variety of flavours, there are thought to be only five tastes detected by cells on the tongue: sweet, salty, bitter, sour and umami. Chocolate linked to heart health.

The findings confirm results of existing studies that generally agree on a potential beneficial link between chocolate consumption and heart health. However, the authors stress that further studies are needed to test whether chocolate actually causes this reduction or if it can be explained by some other unmeasured (confounding) factor. The findings will be presented at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in Paris at 10:10 hrs (Paris time) / 09:10 hrs (UK time) on Monday 29 August 2011.
