Diet must get to work

Tuesday, Oct. 9, 2012

Although both the ruling Democratic Party of Japan and the No. 1 opposition Liberal Democratic Party have chosen their new party leaders, the ruling and opposition forces still cannot agree on when to start an extraordinary Diet session. The primary responsibility rests on Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda. He must fulfill his promise to then LDP chief Mr. Sadakazu Tanigaki to dissolve the Lower House "in the near future" by clearly showing when he will do so. If he does so, the ruling and opposition forces will easily agree on when to start the Diet session. A delay in the start of the session will have a great negative impact on the people's lives.

Two months have already passed since Mr. Noda made his promise on Aug. 8 to Mr. Tanigaki. New LDP leader Mr. Shinzo Abe pointed out that Mr. Noda's promise is one with the people. Komeito chief Mr. Natsuo Yamaguchi said that voting in the next Lower House election must come on or before Dec. 9.

If the Diet session fails to start early, the government's execution of the fiscal 2012 budget will become difficult because the last Diet session failed to enact a bill to float bonds to cover about 40 percent of the budget funds. The government has already started to cut back on budget spending. The Finance Ministry says that the budget funds will run out at the end of November. The Diet must start deliberations as soon as possible.

Because the next Lower House election must be held within a year, the Diet should immediately enact a bill to rectify the disparity in the value of a vote between depopulated rural areas and populated urban areas. If the next Lower House election is held without a rectification of the vote-value disparity, the Supreme Court may find the next election results to be unconstitutional and nullify them.

A bill submitted by the DPJ to rectify the vote-value disparity is too complicated. The ruling and opposition forces should quickly agree to pass a bill to reduce the number of single-seat constituencies by one each in five prefectures as this would be the easiest way to rectify the disparity.

For the sake of smooth Diet deliberations, the opposition, which controls the Upper House, should refrain from the practice of trying to force the ruling camp to accept its demands by refusing to deliberate on important bills, including one on social welfare reform.

NCBI ROFL: Pilot study of the effect of diet on the mutagenicity of human faeces.

A healthy non-smoking man, consuming a normal western diet (meat, vegetables, bread and alcohol) collected five consecutive complete bowel movements. He then added an extra 150 g of fat (from butter, cheese, milk, chocolate, peanuts, bacon and eggs) to his daily diet for 2 weeks, and collected four further consecutive bowel movements in the second week. After 6 months on his normal diet, he added 30 g of wheat bran to his daily diet for 3 weeks, and collected four complete stool samples in the third week. Aqueous faecal extracts were prepared and assayed for auxotrophic growth-enhancement and bacterial mutagenicity (using fluctuation tests with Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and Escherichia coli WP2uvrApKM101). There was no significant difference in faecal wet weight between normal and high-fat collections, but addition of 30 g bran was associated with a 1.8-fold increase in stool weight, in good agreement with published data. Fluctuation tests showed that normal and high-fat samples were mutagenic to S. typhimurium TA100 and to E. coli WP2uvrApKM101. There was considerable variation in mutagenic activity between consecutive bowel movements. However, there was no significant difference in mutagenicity between normal and high-fat samples. Faecal samples collected during the course of the high-fibre diet were significantly less mutagenic to both bacterial strains. Changes in auxotrophic growth-enhancing activity could not account for these changes in mutagenicity, since the pattern of change in growth-enhancement was very different from that seen for mutagenicity.

Great White Shark Diet Is More Than Seals

Late last year, while on a tour of CaliforniasAo Neuvo State Park, I saw a shark attack victim lying on the beach. She was a Northern elephant seal, and looked quite placid despite the gaping, crescent-shaped hole in her neck. She bore the traumatic hallmark of the great white shark.

Years of watching Discoverys Shark Week taught me that seals and sea lions are the preferred prey of Carcharodon carcharias. Nothing like blubber to fuel the body of a constantly-swimming predator with a physiology that runs hotter than that of the average shark. I remember one researcher likened baby elephant seals, in particular, to hot dogs the bread of the snack corresponds to the fat content of the young pinnipeds, making the weener seals easy-to-catch and energy-rich mouthfuls for the sharks.

When the sensational documentaries werent showing awful re-enactments of great white shark attacks on humans, they brought their cameras in close to seal kills. The programs took a philosophy similar to the fictional marine biologist Matt Hooper in JAWS all great white sharks do is swim and eat. (Yes, yes, and make little baby sharks, but I have yet to see that on basic cable.) If they arent chomping people, then they strip the fat from seals. We think of them in the typological way that we approach many species. Great white sharks eat seals and sea lions. Thats all that there is to it.

But great white sharks dont live on a strict diet of marine mammals. Study sites situated near pinniped colonies, as well as nature films, have restricted our view of what great white sharks feed on. In actuality, great white sharks consume different prey based upon age, size, and location. When they are just pups, for example, the leviathans-to-be seek out a wide variety of smaller fare before graduating to more difficult menu options. And, as a new paper indicates, many sharks retain their cosmopolitan tastes as they age.

In a PLoS One study published this week, University of Wyoming researcher Sora Kim and colleagues used chemical clues in great white shark vertebrae to track feeding preferences among fifteen individuals collected between 1957 and 2000. The logic behind their technique is simple, and has been used on a variety of other creatures living and extinct to outline diet. As an animal feeds, chemical tracers in the form of carbon and nitrogen isotopes become incorporated into their teeth and bones. There is a correspondence between certain carbon isotope ratios and particular food sources. Match the chemical signature in the consumer in with the isotopic profile of whats being consumed, and you can reconstruct an animals diet.

Even better, shark vertebrae contain long-running records of these isotopes. As great white sharks grow, their vertebrae accrete new rings on a yearly schedule. Each ring, therefore, holds a chemical snapshot from a year in the sharks life. By comparing the isotope ratios in different vertebral bands, Kim and collaborators were able to follow how the diets of individual sharks shifted during their lives.

Contrary to assertions that pinnipeds are a great white shark staple, the fish sampled in the study were highly variable. Both age and individual variation were at play in their diets. For example, five sharks in the sample showed the expected shift from a diet of fish and small prey to marine mammals and other more substantial fare at about age four. But this wasnt true of all sharks. Five other sharks in the same sample showed no difference between juvenile and adult diet. These sharks may have scavenged pinniped carcasses or fed on large squid while young, giving them an adult feeding profile at a young age. There are some possible confounding factors with this hypothesis such as young sharks inheriting an adult isotope signal from their mothers but the researchers appear to favor the idea that some sharks were more precocious in their prey choices than others of their kind. Not all great white sharks follow the same life history.

While Kim and colleagues point out that some sharks followed the expected dietary switch, the change was not the dominant signal in their results. Many of the Pacific great white sharks they sampled were generalists who took different prey in varying locations. Some sharks were nearshore marine mammal specialists, but others had more flexible foraging approaches. And even though the isotopic data are not refined enough to tell us exactly what species the sharks were eating, the cataloged chemical traces are enough to detect distinct dietary patterns.

The study raises new questions about great white shark biology. For one thing, why did the sharks have such individualistic diets? Competition may be the key, Kim and co-authors hypothesize. Imagine if all adult great white sharks were seal specialists who congregated at the same beaches. There may not be enough food for all, and swimming in the same waters as bigger, more experienced sharks would be risky for smaller novices who could wind up as meals themselves. By being flexible able to tackle elephant seals as well as squid, tuna, and other food sources great white sharks may lessen competition with their own kind.

As the researchers behind the new study state, further isotopic studies and satellite tracking programs may help marine biologists better understand the ecology of their prodigious fish. For now, though, one thing is clear. The sharks werent all cruising near shore, looking up for seal silhouettes. Great white sharks have much more varied tastes than blood-spattered basic cable shows would have you believe.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Diet Plans Announces Their Saffron Extract Formulated Prescription …

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc Weight Loss Diet Plans announced their saffron extract formulated prescription weight loss pills that trigger fast weight loss and address the problem of emotional eating.

Jackson, MS (PRWEB) October 08, 2012

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans announced their saffron extract formulated prescription weight loss pills that trigger fast weight loss and address the problem of emotional eating.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans announced their saffron extract formulated prescription weight loss pills whose active ingredient is in prescription form. Pure saffron acts on the same category of chemical transmitters in the brain that trigger food cravings and cause people to overeat. Saffron stops the cravings and makes people feel fuller by working with the bodys natural chemistry to and brings about a natural modulation of this response.

This new saffron extract formulated weight loss pill from hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans eliminates the problem of emotional overeating that throws all weight loss programs off course and prevents people from achieving their weight loss goals.

As an exciting new appetite suppressing formula from hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans to help maximize potential weight loss, the effectiveness of using highly-concentrated saffron extract in the form of this weight loss pill has been demonstrated by a number of recent clinical studies. These include eliminating most food cravings and promoting weight loss without resorting to crash dieting or other prescription weight loss pills. This proprietary extract of saffron is clinically shown to create satiety and helps prevent snacking, which supports reduction of both weight and inches with diet and exercise. Its unique mechanism helps improve and maintain levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin, which increases the satiety state while decreasing appetite.

Snacking primarily affects the female population and is frequently associated with stress. This uncontrolled eating behavior, predisposing weight gain and obesity can reduce snacking and enhance satiety through its suggested mood-improving effect, and thus contribute to weight loss. Healthy, mildly overweight women who participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study that evaluated the efficacy of Saffron Extract supplementation on body weight changes over an 8-week period experienced a 100% reduction in the desire to snack, 50% fewer instances of between meal snacking, reduction in weight and inches, and improved mood and energy. No subject withdrawal attributable to a product effect was reported throughout the trial, suggesting a good tolerability to Saffron Extract and participants taking 88.25 milligrams twice daily of a standardized saffron extract lost body weight even though they were allowed to eat whatever they wanted and the majority of users reported success in the form of reduced cravings and weight loss, without side effects.

Twice a day, enrolled subjects consumed 1 capsule of Saffron Extract and the study suggests that a combination of an adequate diet with Saffron Extract supplementation might help subjects engaged in a weight loss program in achieving their objective. The results of this clinical study also spurred Dr Oz announcing Saffron Extract as a miracle appetite suppressor and serotonin mood booster. hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans is the only weight loss organization that uses the purest and a highly concentrated saffron extract called Saffron Extract in their prescription weight loss pills. Users also reported a mood improvement, which influences their food choices and promoted eating after they tried this new weight loss pill. Anything that is over-the-counter is a fraction of what dieters should be taking to enjoy the maximum benefits that these saffron extract Saffron Extract formulated prescription weight loss pills offer that includes suppressing appetite, curbing hunger, and improving the mood.

Diet Chef comments on the news that junk food diets dramatically increase stroke risk

Diet Chef is reminding people of the importance of a healthy diet following new research that has shown eating junk food diet could increase the risk of stroke or death at a younger age.

(PRWEB UK) 5 October 2012

A study conducted by the Heart and Stroke Foundation Centre for Stroke Recovery in Canada suggested people who eat so called cafeteria diets, which are high in calories, sugar, fat and salt, are more likely to suffer a stroke or even die at a younger age.

To conduct the research, rats were given unlimited access to both nutritional food pellets and junk food items like cookies and sausages. They could also choose between water and a 30 per cent sucrose solution, similar to soft drinks.

It was discovered that the majority of rats preferred the junk food and, as a result, they suffered from high levels of cholesterol, blood sugar, obesity and blood pressure after just two months. They presented a combination of these symptoms, often referred to as metabolic syndrome, which is thought to increase the risk of suffering from a stroke.

Dr Dale Corbett, scientific director of the Heart and Stroke Foundation Centre for Stroke Recovery, said: I think we'll soon start to see people in their 30s or 40s having strokes, having dementia, because of this junk food diet. Young people will have major, major problems much earlier in life."

Caron Leckie, Diet Chef nutritionist, comments: The junk food style cafeteria diet is one more example of excess; high calories, high sugar, high fat and high salt. With growing public health concerns such as stroke and metabolic syndrome it is important now more than ever to encourage moderation and balance in our food choices

The James Bond diet

5 October 2012 Last updated at 09:48 By Michelle Warwicker BBC Food

In 50 years of James Bond films we are left with no doubt about the hero's love of vodka martinis. In Ian Fleming's books Bond's passion for good food was also apparent. But could 007's diet really sustain his high-action lifestyle?

Bond is a true action man, with a high-energy job, and he needs to fuel the furnace.

Those fit and active on a similar level include royal marines, who get through up to 6,000 calories a day.

But does Bond eat enough of "the right stuff"?

It is 50 years since the first Bond film Dr No was released, and in the recent film Casino Royale, Bond's taste for caviar emphasises the character's world of luxury and fine dining.

But his passion for good food, described in sumptuous detail in Ian Fleming's novels, has never been fully translated in the movies.

So what does he eat in the books?

"He's a great red meat eater," says Edward Biddulph, author of Licence to Cook, a book of recipes inspired by the Bond book series.

"Lamb especially, and beef."
