Vibeke Andersen's review ties diets high in protein, particularly animal protein, to more inflammatory bowel disease and relapses, and finds omega-6 fats from corn and soybean oil may predispose to ulcerative colitis while fish-derived DHA and EPA may protect.

Even moderate drinking may boost breast cancer risk
Among 105,986 nurses followed from 1980 to 2008, with 7,690 invasive breast cancers recorded, 5 to 10 grams of alcohol a day was tied to 15% higher risk and at least 30 grams a day to 51%. The authors stress the study is observational and cannot prove cause.

High fizzy soft drink consumption linked to violence among teens (PR)
Research in Injury Prevention found Boston teens who drank five or more cans of non-diet fizzy soft drinks a week were significantly more likely to behave aggressively, including carrying a weapon and violence against peers and siblings. The survey covered 1,878 students at 22 schools.

Strawberries protect the stomach from alcohol(PR)
Rats that ate strawberry extract before receiving ethanol suffered less damage to the stomach lining, Italian, Serbian and Spanish researchers report in PLoS One. Co-author Sara Tulipani credits both the fruit's antioxidants and its activation of the body's own defences.

Coffee drinking linked to lower risk of skin cancer
Across 113,000 people followed more than 20 years, women drinking over three cups of coffee a day were 20% less likely to develop basal cell carcinoma and men 9% less. No link appeared for melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma, and the study cannot show cause.

Body weight, diet may be risk factors for non-Hodgkin lymphoma (PR)
Researchers followed 47,541 men for 22 years and 91,227 women for 28 years, confirming 566 and 966 non-Hodgkin lymphoma cases. Adjusting for age, race and other factors, men obese at ages 18 to 21 had a 64 percent higher risk of the disease later in life than non-obese men.

Drinking alcohol may boost lung cancer risk
Following 126,293 adults for more than 20 years, Kaiser Permanente researchers found smoking the strongest predictor of lung cancer, then heavy drinking of more than three drinks a day, with beer showing the strongest effect. A Czech study tied black tea and fruit to lower risk.
Food
Red meat, dairy products may affect breast cancer risk
Among 766 postmenopausal women, the highest red meat eaters had 10 percent less sex hormone-binding globulin, and the highest dairy eaters about 15 percent more total and free estradiol, which has been linked to breast cancer risk. Processed meat, chicken, fish and eggs showed no link.

Eating your greens can change the effect of your genes on heart disease, say researchers (PR)
Among more than 27,000 people from five ethnicities, carriers of the high-risk 9p21 genotype who ate a diet built on raw vegetables, fruits and berries had a heart attack risk similar to those with the low-risk genotype, McMaster and McGill researchers report in PLoS Medicine.

Hike Up Your Happy Hormones - With This Popular Supplement
Mercola reports research indicating probiotics signal the brain through the vagus nerve, with Lactobacillus rhamnosus altering GABA levels in certain brain regions, lowering the stress hormone corticosterone and reducing anxiety- and depression-related behavior.

Low-fat yogurt intake when pregnant may lead to child asthma and hay fever (PR)
In the Danish National Birth Cohort, women who ate fruit-flavored low-fat yoghurt once a day while pregnant were 1.6 times more likely to have children with asthma by age 7 than women reporting none. Milk intake carried no such risk and appeared protective.

Abnormal activation of a protein may explain deadly link between high salt intake and obesity
University of Tokyo researchers fed obese salt-sensitive rats a high-salt diet and found the protein Rac1 activating the mineralocorticoid receptor in kidney cells, a job normally done by aldosterone. That drove salt reabsorption, fluid retention and high blood pressure.

The "Junk Food" that May Help Slash Your Risk of Cardiovascular Disease by 37%
A meta-analysis pooling seven studies with more than 114,000 participants found the highest chocolate consumption associated with 37 percent less cardiovascular disease and 29 percent less stroke. The authors call the evidence observational; the research concerns dark, unprocessed chocolate.

White fruits, vegetables lined to lower stroke risk
Dutch researchers followed 20,069 adults for 10 years and found those eating more than 171 grams a day of white fruit and vegetables, mostly apples and pears, were 52% less likely to have a stroke. Other color groups showed no link, and the study was not a trial.

High intake of calcium, dairy products boosts prostate cancer risk
A review links high calcium intake from food and supplements to advanced or fatal prostate cancer. Among 783 black men, those reporting the highest calcium intake were twice as likely to have localized and advanced disease, and genotype appeared to shape how much the risk rose.

Drinking coffee may cut stroke risk slightly
Susanna Larsson pooled 11 studies covering 478,700 people and about 10,000 strokes, finding those drinking two to six cups of coffee a day were roughly 13% less likely to have a stroke. At eight cups the reduction fell to 7%, and no trial shows cause.

Could THIS Be the Hidden Factor Behind Obesity, Heart Disease, and Chronic Fatigue?
MIT researcher Stephanie Seneff argues sulfur deficiency is common and may contribute to obesity, heart disease, Alzheimer's and chronic fatigue. She ties sulfur to cholesterol and vitamin D, saying sunlit skin makes cholesterol sulfate and vitamin D3 sulfate that oral supplements may not supply.

AICR Study: Walnuts Show Promise of Preventing Breast Cancer (PR)
In an AICR-funded study in Nutrition and Cancer, mice genetically prone to breast cancer whose diet included walnuts, equal to about 2 ounces a day for a person, developed tumors at less than half the rate of mice eating none. It is an animal study, an AICR nutritionist cautioned.
