Drinking green tea may help prevent Alzheimer's disease
Screening bioactive compounds, University of South Florida researchers found green tea's EGCG and luteolin most effective at correcting amyloid-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in vitro, and EGCG restored mitochondrial measures by 50 to 80% in several mouse brain regions.

Drinking tea may help prevent stomach cancer
University of Massachusetts researchers found extracts of white, green, oolong and black tea inhibited H. pylori when brewed for five minutes, while only two teas worked at two minutes. The extracts spared beneficial lactic acid bacteria; the active ingredient is unknown.

The association of alcohol drinking with migraine headache (PR)
A summary of an Italian review of alcohol and migraine: about a third of patients name alcohol as a trigger in retrospective studies, yet population surveys find migraine sufferers drink less than the general public and headache prevalence falls as alcohol intake rises.

Using olive oil in your diet may prevent a stroke (PR)
Among 7,625 stroke-free French adults aged 65 and older followed just over five years, those using olive oil for both cooking and dressing had a 41 percent lower stroke risk than non-users — 1.5 percent versus 2.6 percent — the study in Neurology reports.

Breastfeeding may help prevent SIDS
A meta-analysis of 18 case-control studies, drawn from 288 papers identified in the literature, found breastfeeding associated with lower SIDS risk, with a stronger association for exclusive breastfeeding. The authors say breastfeeding belongs in SIDS risk-reduction advice.

Eating yogurt may cut risk of colorectal cancer
Among 45,241 Italians in the EPIC cohort followed 12 years, those in the top third for yogurt intake were 38 percent less likely to develop colorectal cancer, and 35 percent after adjustment. The study is observational and establishes no causal relation.

Coffee drinking improves hepatitis C treatment response (PR)
Among advanced hepatitis C patients taking peginterferon plus ribavirin, those drinking three or more cups of coffee a day were twice as likely to respond as non-drinkers, with 26% versus 11% reaching a sustained virologic response. The authors say the finding needs replication.

Who says fructose promotes obesity?
In a six-week Mexican trial of 131 obese patients, both energy-restricted diets produced significant weight loss, but the one with 50 to 70 grams of natural fructose a day led to more of it: 4.19 pounds against 2.83 pounds on the low-fructose diet.

Eating yogurt may cut cardiovascular risk
Among 1,080 Australian women over 70, those eating more than 100 grams of yogurt a day had significantly lower carotid artery wall thickness three years later, while total dairy, milk and cheese showed no association. The study was observational, not a trial.

Use of soybean oil may boost cancer risk
Rats exposed to a carcinogen and fed 10 percent soybean oil for 44 weeks developed mammary tumours at 65.4 percent, against 26.6 percent among rats fed cow ghee, Indian researchers report. Tumours in the soybean oil group were heavier and appeared sooner.

Fresh Evidence... Could 1 Teaspoon per Day Tame Your Allergy Problems?
Mercola contrasts a decade-old study, cited by the New York Times, in which local honey did no better than placebo, with a newer one in which 44 birch pollen allergy patients who ate birch pollen honey from November to March reported 60 percent fewer symptoms than controls.

Can these Vegetables Fight Breast Cancer?
Rats with breast cancer exposed to apigenin, a compound in parsley, celery, apples, oranges and nuts, developed fewer tumors and took longer to form them. Scientists note apigenin absorbs poorly into the bloodstream, so how much anyone should eat remains unclear.

Green tea may cut thyroid cancer risk in postmenopausal women
Among 100,507 Japanese adults followed 14.2 years, postmenopausal women drinking five or more cups of green tea a day were 53 percent less likely to develop thyroid cancer. Premenopausal women at that intake showed 66 percent higher risk, and no link appeared overall.

Drinking coffee cuts ER negative breast cancer risk
In a study of 2,818 breast cancer cases and 3,111 controls, postmenopausal women who drank five or more cups of coffee a day were 57% less likely to have ER-negative breast cancer than those drinking one cup or less. The reduction for ER-positive tumors was less marked.

Strawberries Show Promise for Cancer Prevention
In a preliminary Ohio State study, 36 people with esophageal cancer ate freeze-dried strawberries, and 29 showed slowed or reduced growth of cancer cells. Tong Chen's team does not yet know which compound is responsible.

Meats cooked at high temperature boost prostate cancer risk
Comparing 726 prostate cancer patients with 527 men without it, researchers linked hamburgers, processed meat, grilled red meat and well-done red meat to 79, 57, 63 and 52 percent higher risk of advanced, but not localized, disease. White meat showed no association.
