Among 40,757 Spanish adults followed for 11 years, food fried in olive or sunflower oil was not linked to heart disease or premature death. The authors caution that the result may not carry over to countries where solid or reused oils are used for frying.

Cocoa could prevent intestinal pathologies such as colon cancer (PR)
Spanish researchers fed rats a diet 12% cocoa for eight weeks and report the first confirmation in live animals that cocoa flavonoids may help protect against chemically induced colon carcinogenesis and other intestinal complaints tied to oxidative stress.

High fructose consumption by adolescents may put them at cardiovascular risk (PR)
In 559 adolescents aged 14 to 18, Medical College of Georgia researchers correlated high-fructose diets with higher blood pressure, fasting glucose, insulin resistance and inflammatory markers, and with lower HDL and adiponectin. Belly fat worsened the pattern; subcutaneous fat did not.

Bacon: Time to end this crazy love affair
A British Journal of Cancer study found each 50g of processed meat eaten daily raised pancreatic cancer risk 19 percent, rising to 38 percent at 100g and 57 percent near 150g. Overall risk stays low, but the disease kills 80 percent of patients within a year.

This Food Robs Your Brain Power - Avoid It for Clearer Thinking (opinion)
Mercola argues wheat and other glutinous grains are the worst starches to eat, puts the optimal starch intake at roughly 20 to 30 percent of calories from organic, unprocessed sources, and recaps the Jaminet-Rosedale debate over whether any starch counts as safe.

Eating This Can "Tear Holes" in Your Gut (opinion)
Mercola argues that grains and legumes carry anti-nutrients and lectins that open gaps between intestinal cells, letting undigested food, bacteria and waste into the bloodstream and driving inflammation. He says grain's high-fiber bran holds many of those anti-nutrients.

Processed meat boosts risk for pancreatic cancer
A British Journal of Cancer analysis of 11 studies and 6,643 pancreatic cancer cases found an extra 50 g of processed meat a day went with 19% higher risk and 100 g a day with 38%. Lifetime risk stays low, about 1 in 77 men, and researchers say larger studies are still needed.

Processed meat, red meat up pancreatic cancer risk
A meta-analysis of prospective studies tied 50 grams a day of processed meat to 19% higher pancreatic cancer risk in both sexes, and 120 grams a day of red meat to 13% higher risk overall and 29% among men. Women eating that much red meat showed no increase.

No Deaths in 38 Years From This Raw Food -- So Why is it Condemned?
Mercola interviews Mark McAfee of Organic Pastures Dairy, who founded the nonprofit Raw Milk Institute. The piece claims no deaths from raw milk since food safety data collection began in 1973, against more than 40 from pasteurized milk and 50 from pasteurized cheese.

Red wine may not benefit the heart as thought - Research misconduct found
The University of Connecticut Health Center notified 11 journals after an investigation found resveratrol researcher Dipak K. Das guilty of 145 counts of data fabrication and falsification. The editor urges readers to treat research findings and media reports skeptically.

Rates of Binge Drinking on the Rise
CDC researchers analysing 2010 survey data from 457,677 adults found 17.1% had binged on alcohol in the past 30 days, typically once a week and about eight drinks a time. Rates ran twice as high in men, and peaked among 18- to 24-year-olds at 28.2%.

Here is why drinking coffee cuts type 2 diabetes mellitus risk
Testing caffeine, caffeic acid, chlorogenic acid and dihydrocaffeic acid separately, researchers found each inhibited formation of the toxic hIAPP amyloids thought to raise type 2 diabetes risk. Caffeic acid proved most potent and caffeine least.

How many lives could a soda tax save? (PR)
A UCSF-led analysis estimates a penny-per-ounce tax on sugary drinks would prevent nearly 100,000 cases of heart disease, 8,000 strokes, 240,000 cases of diabetes and 26,000 deaths a year, raising $13 billion in revenue and saving $17 billion in health costs.

Study offers clue as to why alcohol is addicting (PR)
UCSF Gallo Center researchers directly observed endorphin release in the nucleus accumbens and orbitofrontal cortex after people drank alcohol, the first such observation in humans. The authors say the locations offer possible targets for alcohol abuse treatments.

Wheat Grass Juice Therapy: Amazing Effects And Healing Properties
The piece credits wheat grass juice's healing reputation to chlorophyll, whose hemin center resembles hemoglobin's except that it holds magnesium instead of iron, leading Dr. Wigmore to call it “green blood.” It also argues wheat grass is easier to take than bitter herb juices.

Red wine may be safer than white wine
In a study of 36 women, drinking about 8 ounces of red wine daily shifted sex hormone levels in a way that resembles aromatase inhibitor drugs, while white wine did not. The piece notes alcohol itself is a recognized human carcinogen tied to breast cancer risk.

Drinking coffee may cut endometrial cancer risk
Je and Giovannucci pooled 16 studies covering 6,628 endometrial cancer cases and found the heaviest coffee drinkers were up to 29 percent less likely to develop the disease. Each additional cup a day corresponded to an 8 percent lower risk. The authors call for more large studies.

Consumption of alcoholic beverages is known to be a human carcinogen - official report
The National Toxicology Program's 12th Report on Carcinogens lists alcoholic beverages as known human carcinogens, citing consistent evidence for cancers of the mouth, pharynx, larynx and esophagus, with risk rising as intake rises, and weaker evidence for liver and breast cancer.
