High blood pressure affects about 45% of U.S. adults. In the 1970s, only about 50% of patients were aware of their hypertension. Today, 54% are aware of their high blood pressure, 40% are actively treated and 21% are actively controlled. As such, researchers alert health care providers that the old “silent killer” is alive and well.
As the Olympics draw inspiration and wonder into how athletes manage to achieve such a high level of success and skill, a new podcast series is serving up useful insights into what it takes to optimise performance in sports.
A new study from George Washington University found a disquieting percentage of cocoa products in the U.S. contain heavy metals that exceed guidelines, including higher concentrations in organic products.
Tara Schmidt, nutricionista registrada na Mayo Clinic em Rochester, Minnesota, fornece informações sobre a importância de se discutir nutrição no contexto de medicamentos para a perda de peso.
Memorial Hermann Health System has made an investment in Ready, Set, Food that will further its commitment to educate and equip families with the tools necessary to give their babies the best chance at living a life free of food allergies.
In an unprecedented study, researchers have achieved a telomere-to-telomere, gap-free genome assembly of the West Indian avocado, revealing genes crucial for fatty acid biosynthesis and disease resistance. This comprehensive genomic map not only enriches our understanding of avocado biology but also offers a robust foundation for breeding new varieties.
This true third-party control is provided in a liquid ready-to-use format, reducing preparation time with an impressive 30-day open vial stability, helping to minimise waste
Food innovation at the dinner table and the mess hall is essential to national defense, biosecurity, and warfighter readiness.
GFI’s Dr. Faraz Harsini interviews one of the world’s leading cultivated meat researchers in his lab at Texas A&M
Two studies from Michigan Medicine may provide hope for patients with irritable bowel syndrome struggling to implement the traditional low-FODMAP diet.
In a pioneering study, scientists have decoded the genetic blueprint of Saposhnikovia divaricata, a traditional medicinal herb. The research provides a detailed genome sequence, shedding light on the plant’s evolutionary adaptations and the genetic foundations of its therapeutic benefits.
This exciting, virtual event brings together university, industry, venture investment, non-profit and government experts to review, discuss and advance innovations.
Raw poultry is one of the main causes of Salmonella poisoning, which affects thousands of people in the U.S. every year. A new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign shows that few products with high levels of very virulent Salmonella strains are responsible for most of the illnesses from raw chicken parts.
Only five years ago, public funding for alternative protein R&D was close to zero. Fast forward to 2023 and you see governments around the world investing in alternative proteins for a variety of reasons — to meet national policy goals, make good on their climate commitments, and create good-paying, sustainable jobs to name a few.
A new study led by researchers at the American Cancer Society finds four in 10 cancer cases and about one-half of all cancer deaths in adults 30 years old and older in the United States could be attributed to modifiable risk factors, including cigarette smoking, excess body weight, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, diet, and infections.
In a recent mouse-model study, published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers at University Hospitals (UH), Harrington Discovery Institute at UH, and Case Western Reserve University have now found that the cerebellum also controls thirst, a major function necessary for survival. Specifically, the research team found that a hormone, asprosin, crosses from the periphery into the brain to activate Purkinje neurons in the cerebellum. This leads to an enhanced drive to seek and drink water.
Water scientists from Australia and China have proposed a more effective method of removing organic pesticides from drinking water, reducing the risk of contamination and potential health problems.
In summer of 2022, a research cruise detected a massive harmful algal bloom (HAB) in the Bering Strait region of western Alaska. This expedition provided a dramatic example of science utilizing new technology to track a neurotoxic HAB, and effectively communicate information that protects remote coastal communities in real-time.
Dietary lipids play an essential role in regulating the function of the gut microbiota and gastrointestinal tract, and these luminal interactions contribute to mediating host metabolism. Palmitic Acid Hydroxy Stearic Acids (PAHSAs) are a family of lipids with antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory properties, but whether the gut microbiota contributes to their beneficial effects on host metabolism is unknown.
