Whole milk may be better for kids than skim milk

Posted on by

“‘We just don’t see any benefit for focusing on reducing fat,’ Ludwig said. ‘We think it’s a holdover from a paradigm that evolved in the late 20th century based on the relatively simplistic idea that fat has the most calories per gram and that eliminating fat will reduce weight gain.’ Another study in the Archives of Disease in Childhood in March echoed the JAMA study and showed that children who drank lower-fat milk were more likely to be overweight later in life.”

Human breast milk has become a new luxury for China’s rich

Posted on by

“Xinxinyu, a domestic staff agency in the booming city of Shenzhen, which borders Hong Kong, provided wet nurses for newborns, the sick and other adults who pay high prices for the milk’s fine nutrition, the Southern Metropolis Daily said. ‘Adult (clients) can drink it directly through breastfeeding, or they can always drink it from a breast pump if they feel embarrassed,’ the report quoted company owner Lin Jun as saying.  Wet nurses serving adults are paid around 16,000 yuan ($2,600) a month — more than four times the Chinese average — and those who were ‘healthy and good looking’ could earn even more, the report said.”

Belgian diplomat booted from NY golf club, treated like ‘terrorists’ over wife’s breast-feeding

Posted on by

“Minutes later, the Greenburgh Police Department arrived. Detective Scott Harding allegedly yelled, ‘Close the doors!’ and two other diners were told to leave the terrace. ‘He was walking as if he was acting in a Western movie,’ Neijens said. ‘He had one hand on his gun, one hand on his Taser.’ Neijens said the officer warned the couple they were trespassing and said some people at the club thought they were terrorists because of their black backpack. When Remans, on the verge of tears, questioned why terrorists would breast-feed at a ritzy club, the cop allegedly replied, ‘In Sri Lanka, babies are used by terrorists.'”

Orwell Reigns Over Raw Milk Trial

Posted on by

thelrcblog-5002

“The trial of Vernon Hershberger for the crime of selling healthy, unprocessed milk to informed and willing customers is a sadly damning commentary on the times in which we currently live. This humble yet learned Amish farmer faces the ruin of his farm, his family, and jail time in a trial that highlights the utter depravity of the so-called authorities who claim the right to rule over the rest of us. Over and over thugs raided the peaceful Hershberger’s farm, destroying his property and terrorizing his ten children. His crime was selling a product that has been consumed from time immemorial and which thousands upon thousands of families increasingly swear by.”

Scientists’ accidental find reveals Vitamin C kills tuberculosis bacteria

Posted on by

“Scientists said Tuesday they had managed to kill lab-grown tuberculosis (TB) bacteria with good old Vitamin C — an ‘unexpected’ discovery they hope will lead to better, cheaper drugs.  A team from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York made the accidental find while researching how TB bacteria become resistant to the TB drug isoniazid. The researchers added isoniazid and a ‘reducing agent’ known as cysteine to the TB in a test tube, expecting the bacteria to develop drug resistance. Instead, the team ‘ended up killing off the culture’.  In the lab tests, the bacteria never developed resistance to Vitamin C — ‘almost like the dream drug’, Jacobs said.”

Vitamins That Cost Pennies a Day Seen Delaying Dementia

Posted on by

“Drugmakers including Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., Pfizer Inc. (PFE) and Eli Lilly & Co. (LLY) have spent billions of dollars on ineffective therapies in a so-far fruitless effort to come up with a treatment for dementia and Alzheimer’s.  Now, in the latest of a steady drumbeat of research that suggests diet, exercise and socializing remain patients’ best hope, a study published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows that vitamins B6 and B12 combined with folic acid slowed atrophy of gray matter in brain areas affected by Alzheimer’s disease.”

Building superintendent mistakes tomato plants for pot, and so did cops he called

Posted on by

“Experts don’t know how the cops could have confused the two.  Cops eventually got hip to the difference and closed the investigation, leaving the tomatoes alone.  The unidentified owner of the tomato stash won’t have to deal with the cops but he will have to deal with his super, who said he’d lock the door to the roof.   ‘No one’s supposed to be there anyway,’ Delarosa said.”

European Commission to criminalize nearly all seeds and plants not registered with government

Posted on by

“A new law proposed by the European Commission would make it illegal to ‘grow, reproduce or trade’ any vegetable seeds that have not been ‘tested, approved and accepted’ by a new EU bureaucracy named the ‘EU Plant Variety Agency.’ It’s called the Plant Reproductive Material Law, and it attempts to put the government in charge of virtually all plants and seeds. Home gardeners who grow their own plants from non-regulated seeds would be considered criminals under this law. Gardeners must also pay fees to the EU bureaucracy for the registration of their seeds.”

105-year-old woman says eating bacon every day is her key to long life

Posted on by

“A 105-year-old woman from Richland, Texas says that the key to long life is bacon.  Pearl Cantrell’s love of bacon is so strong that the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile made a stop through town last week to wish her a happy birthday, all because she told a local news station her amazing secret. ‘I love bacon, I eat it everyday,’ she told a reporter for Abilene-based Big Country Homepage in April. ‘I don’t feel as old as I am, that’s all I can say.'”

Living in U.S. raises risk of allergies

Posted on by

“Children born outside the United States have a lower risk of asthma, skin and food allergies, and living in the United States for a decade or more may raise the risk of some allergies, said a study Monday. The research in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that certain environmental exposures could trigger allergies later in life, overcoming the protective effects of microbial exposure in childhood.  The study examined records from 2007-2008 phone surveys of nearly 92,000 people in the United States, where food and skin allergies have been on the rise in recent years.”
