Advanced glycation end products linked to chronic inflammation
A Brussels review of studies on advanced glycation end products found people on low-AGE diets had lower inflammation, while the rise on high-AGE diets was less pronounced. Nearly half of observational studies tied inflammation to dietary AGEs, which are high in fries and bakery products.

Silica nanoparticles may raise Alzheimer's disease risk
In human and mouse neuroblastoma cells, 15 nm silica nanoparticles cut cell viability, triggered apoptosis and raised reactive oxygen species, while increasing beta-amyloid deposits and tau phosphorylation, two hallmarks of Alzheimer's. The study tested cells, not people.

Silicon dioxide nanoparticles can damage multiple organs
Iranian researchers fed mice silicon dioxide nanoparticles 10 to 15 nanometers across and found significant changes in albumin, cholesterol, triglycerides, urea, HDL, LDL and liver enzymes, with tissue damage visible in liver, kidney, lung and testis.

Is This Why So Many People Seem to Be Gluten Intolerant Today?
Dr. Stephanie Seneff argues glyphosate, widely used to harvest wheat, correlates with the rise in celiac disease more closely than its use on corn and soy, and that it damages gut flora. Mercola summarises her papers and her wider claims linking glyphosate to aluminium transport and autism.

Ergot alkaloids can stunt fetal growth
Pregnant ewes fed endophyte-infected tall fescue seed bore lambs weighing 37 percent less than those of unexposed ewes, with lighter organs and muscles. People are exposed to ergot alkaloids mainly through contaminated grains, especially rye.

Barbecue and Food Safety
With more than half of Americans grilling year round, this guide covers buying cold food last, bagging raw meat to stop drips, refrigerating perishables within two hours, thawing in the refrigerator, and marinating there rather than on the counter.

The canary in the cornfield - News from Center for Food Safety
The Center for Food Safety newsletter reports that it and the Center for Biological Diversity petitioned the Fish and Wildlife Service for Endangered Species Act protection for monarch butterflies, whose numbers have fallen more than 90 percent in under 20 years.

Total mercury in canned tuna sold in Canada in 2006
Canadian researchers tested 156 composites drawn from 936 samples of canned tuna sold in 2006 and found mean total mercury of 0.066 mg/kg in yellowfin, 0.132 in skipjack and 0.325 in albacore, with the highest albacore reading at 0.507 mg/kg.

Plastic chemicals make humans more feminine
University of Michigan researchers tested more than 2,200 people from the 2011-12 NHANES survey and found greater phthalate exposure associated with significantly lower circulating testosterone, most notably in boys aged 6 to 12 and in men and women aged 40 to 60.

Allergies to a Legume Called Lupin: What You Need to Know
Lupin, a legume in the same family as peanuts, is safe for most people, but FDA medical advisor Stefano Luccioli points to medical reports of allergic reactions, some severe enough to include anaphylaxis. People already allergic to legumes, especially peanuts, may react on first exposure.

Nanoparticles: Panacea or Pandora’s Box?
A Friends of the Earth report says unlabelled, unregulated nano-ingredients in food have grown substantially since 2008, and that nanoparticles bioaccumulate and magnify up the food chain. Campaigner Ian Illuminato says safety evidence is scant and regulation is lacking.

Toxic PFAAs found in South Korean foods
Testing 397 South Korean foods, Pusan National University scientists found PFOS and long-chain PFCAs mainly in fish, shellfish and processed foods, and PFOA and short-chain PFCAs mainly in dairy and beverages. Tap water can dominate PFOA intake where people drink it.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles may help diabetes mellitus
Diabetic rats given oral zinc oxide nanoparticles showed better glucose tolerance, 70 percent higher serum insulin and 29 percent lower blood sugar. The piece cautions that long-term safety is unclear, since nanoparticles can disrupt DNA and their risks remain largely unknown.

Aspartame can be a potential carcinogen - review suggests
Morando Soffritti and colleagues re-examined the rodent bioassays submitted for aspartame's FDA approval and judged them inadequate to show the sweetener is not carcinogenic. Citing later animal and epidemiologic work, they call re-evaluation by regulators an urgent public health matter.
