"The results are published in Nature Medicine today. Co-author Stanley Hazen, head of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, says that the study could signal a new approach to diet and health. In some cases, an individual's collection of intestinal microbes may be as important to their diet as anything on a nutrition label, he says. "Bacteria make a whole slew of molecules from food," he says, "and those molecules can have a huge effect on our metabolic processes.""

Prostate cancer is characterized as the development of the cancer cells in the prostate, a gland in the male reproductive system. Unhealthy diet has been the root cause for many general and severe health problems. A diet that lack Vitamin D makes the individual prone to prostate cancer.

"Individuals whose diet includes more salad dressing, nuts, fish, poultry and certain fruits and vegetables and fewer high-fat dairy products, red meats, organ meats and butter appear less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease, according to a report posted online today that will appear in the June print issue of Archives of Neurology, one of the JAMA/Archives journals."

"The results are indeed worthy of attention, with Prof Taylor's team finding that in an early stage clinical trial of 11 people who were put on a diet of just 600 calories As written about in Dr Ben Goldacre's latest Bad Science column, producing a pattern from experimental data to come to a conclusion can be a 'magical' experience, but medicine is an 'imperfect art'. "We all know one atom of experience isn't enough to spot a pattern." writes Goldacre, "But when you put lots of experiences together and process that data, you get new knowledge.""

"Over the last 10 years, MIT biologist Leonard Guarente and other researchers have demonstrated that very-low-calorie diets provoke a comprehensive physiological response, which promotes survival due to a set of proteins called sirtuins. A new report by Guarente published online in Cell has now demonstrated that sirtuins may also have a key part in the psychological response to dietary restriction. "

"Our knowledge of species and functional composition of the human gut microbiome is rapidly increasing, but it is still based on very few cohorts and little is known about variation across the world. By combining 22 newly sequenced faecal metagenomes of individuals from four countries with previously published data sets, here we identify three robust clusters (referred to as enterotypes hereafter) that are not nation or continent specific. We also confirmed the enterotypes in two published, larger cohorts, indicating that intestinal microbiota variation is generally stratified, not continuous. This indicates further the existence of a limited number of well-balanced host-microbial symbiotic states that might respond differently to diet and drug intake."

"For this study, the investigators bred mice lacking TRPV4 or administered a drug to deactivate it. In the absence of TRPV4, white cells turned on a set of genes that consume energy to produce heat, rather than storing the energy as excess fat. This "thermogenic" process normally occurs in brown or beige fat (commonly called "good fat"), which is found mostly in small animals and human infants to protect against cold. When the TRPV4-deficient mice were put on a high-calorie diet for several weeks, they did not become obese, and their level of fat cell inflammation and insulin resistance was lowered. "We have identified a target that, when inhibited, can activate beige adipose tissue and suppress inflammation," said Spiegelman."

"Formal education must adapt to these changes, taking advantage of new strengths in visual-spatial intelligence and compensating for new weaknesses in higher-order cognitive processes: abstract vocabulary, mindfulness, reflection, inductive problem solving, critical thinking, and imagination. These develop through the use of an older technology, reading, which, along with audio media such as radio, also stimulates imagination. Informal education therefore requires a balanced media diet using each technology's specific strengths in order to develop a complete profile of cognitive skills. "

"A study conducted by researchers at cancer centers across the US has found a link between omega-3 fatty acids and an increased risk of prostate cancer. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish including salmon, trout, and fresh tuna, and in fish oil supplements. The study, published online July 10 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, looked at blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids in some of the men enrolled in the Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial (SELECT) of more than 35,000 men over age 50 in the US, Puerto Rico, and Canada. The study did not collect information on the men's diets. Therefore, it's not clear whether the omega-3 fatty acids in their blood came from food or from supplements."

Dairy farming is one of the important aspects of an agrarian economy. Milk, which is the most important produce from a dairy farm, is a rich part of human diet.

Medical studies have discovered various factors that enhance the risk of developing prostate cancer. The treatment of prostate cancer can include careful watching and the best ways is to maintain a healthy BMI, cutting down red meat, pan-fried methods of cooking meat, healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and well-balanced diet.

Unlike other business, dairy farming is highly risky since it is dependent on milk produced by cattle they require careful analysis and consideration. Mahendra trivedi with his scientific knowledge devised a special diet for cattle that enriched their milk production.

"Forscher des Inserm [1] haben in Zusammenarbeit mit Wissenschaftlern des Lehrstuhls für Humanbiologie der Technischen Universität München (TUM) [2] entdeckt, dass eine zucker- und fettreiche Diät die Zerstörung der Nervenzellen des enterischen Nervensystems verhindert und dadurch Adipositas fördert. Die Verdauungsfunktionen werden vom enterischen Nervensystem (ENS) - mehr als 100 Millionen Neuronen entlang des Verdauungstrakts - reguliert. Das ENS ist nach dem Gehirn das zweitgrößte neurologische Organ unseres Körpers und spielt eine zentrale Rolle bei der Kontrolle verschiedener Funktionen, von der Verdauungsmotorik (Magen-Darmentleerung, Kolontransit) über die Darmbarriere bis hin zur Nährstoffaufnahme"
