  • The lecithin study, published Wednesday in The New England Journal of Medicine, is part of a growing appreciation of the role the body’s bacteria play in health and disease. With heart disease, investigators have long focused on the role of diet and heart disease, but expanding the scrutiny to bacteria adds a new dimension.

    First carnitine and meat, now lecithin and eggs! Darn it! All things in moderation, I guess.

    Even though this article is taken from the opinions page of the NY Times, it still discusses a rather important issue. Sometimes the old saying "A little dirt never hurt" rings oh so true.

    The recent papers from the Cleveland Clinic on the role of microbiome in heart disease jogged my memory of Paul Ewald's work on this subject. In a way, he predicted the papers that appeared this week over 15 years ago. Put succinctly, "big, old, diseases are infectious." If they weren't, natural selection would have reduced their incidence. Fascinating theory, worth a read.

    A report blames colony collapse disorder on pesticides for possibly damaging the bee's immune system and making them more susceptible to parasites, viruses and bacteria. I know a lot of people are allergic to bees or hate them but check out this quotation: "About one-third of the human diet comes from insect-pollinated plants, and the honeybee is responsible for 80 percent of that pollination." Bees are important!!!
