The researchers found that the naringenin corrected elevations in tryclycerides and cholesterol, prevented the onset of insulin resistance, and otherwise normalized the metabolism of insulin. Also, the naringenin completely reprogrammed the livers of the mice so that excess fat was burned rather than stored.
The preliminary number of deaths in the United States for 2007 was 2,423,995, representing a decrease of 2,269 from the 2006 total. The crude death rate of 803.7 per 100,000 population was 0.83 percent less than the rate of 810.4 per 100,000 in 2006. The estimated age-adjusted death rate, which accounts for changes in the age distribution of the population, reached a record low of 760.3 per 100
Chile detected the H1N1 swine flu virus in turkeys, authorities said on Thursday, the first time the virus has been found outside humans or pigs.
Chile's farming and livestock agency SAG said the flu outbreak had been controlled at the two farms 75 miles west of the capital Santiago.
"We call on the public to consume turkey products with confidence," a SAG statement said. It added that laboratory results ruled out the presence of H5N1 or bird flu virus.
The Geneva-based World Health Organization declared H1N1 a full pandemic in June and the virus has now spread to some 180 countries, causing at least 1,462 laboratory-confirmed deaths. The WHO says the pandemic is unstoppable.
The H1N1 swine flu virus was first seen in March in Mexico and California. Experts say at least 1 million people have been infected in the United States alone.
Genetic tests show the virus appears to have originated in pigs but it is now spreading from human to human.

It might be the ultimate free lunch — how to reap all the advantages of a calorically restricted diet — including freedom from disease and an extended healthy life span — without eating less. Just take a drug that tricks the body into thinking it's on such a diet.
It sounds too good to be true, and maybe it is. Yet such drugs are now in clinical trials. Even if they should fail, as most candidate drugs do, their development represents a new optimism among research biologists that aging is not immutable, that the body has resources that can be mobilized into resisting disease and averting the adversities of old age.
This optimism, however, is not fully shared. Evolutionary biologists, the experts on the theory of aging, have strong reasons to suppose that human life span cannot be altered in any quick and easy way. But they have been confounded by experiments with small laboratory animals, such as roundworms, fruit flies and mice. In all these species, the change of single gen
Yet there are two main arguments in favor of mass free distribution. The first is that the poorest people simply cannot afford to pay $10 per net. The second is that there are important spillover benefits (or positive externalities ) when a person uses a bed net, because the net not only gives personal protection to the user but also helps to block transmission of the disease within the community. We should therefore encourage very high levels of bed net use, just as we do with immunizations.
Overall, today is much safer than 1950. That's probably no surprise to anyone who knows basic economic history. What's particularly interesting is that safety gains are especially large for younger kids.

Aspartame Warning
This page exists solely to try and
spread the word about the numerous & serious dangers of regular
aspartame (Nutrasweet, Equal) consumption. Currently the 100+ articles
on this page contain facts & opinions from over 50 doctors & nutritionists,
many of which have each "cured" their patients of many symptoms
(including weight gain) simply by removing aspartame from their diet.
These 50+ doctors strongly recommend avoiding all aspartame products.
Numerous articles detailing the unbelievable history of the aspartame
approval are also provided, along with thousands of testimonials from
former users. Some info. on the new sweetener Splenda (sucralose) found
in Diet Rite soda is also provided.
The multi-billion dollar aspartame industry would like you believe that "aspartame kills" is an "urban legend"
Get the REAL Flu Facts before you decide.
"Look, first of all you have 2/3rds of the population on aspartame
which interacts with all vaccines. Secondly, the CDC has admitted
this is not the same strain as the flu that is here. Of course it
couldn't be, its made from last year's flu vaccine. So even if
someone wasn't using aspartame,
all it can do is give you the flu. On an Ohio radio show Nov.
25,2003, a doctor stated 'If you have taken the flu shot more than 8
times in the last 10 years you have an 80% chance of getting
Alzheimers'. Since aspartame is escalating Alzheimers anyway, and
memory loss is so prevalent with aspartame its like #9 on the FDA list
of 92 symptoms, people won't have a chance.

Passengers with swine flu will be stopped from boarding flights, two major airlines confirmed today, as the Department of Health warned tourists who contract the illness abroad not to travel home until their symptoms have gone.
The London Times newspaper has apparently censored
scores of comments on its own website that expressed vehement
opposition to plans by the UK government to implement a mandatory
vaccination program for swine flu.
As we reported on Sunday, respondents to a London Times article
concerning the fact that the vaccine will be rushed through safety
procedures in just five days, increasing the chances of it causing
deaths and injuries in the thousands, as happened with the 1977 mass
vaccination program in the U.S. which killed more people than the
actual swine flu virus, overwhelmingly indicated that they would refuse
to take the shot.
At one point, out of the first 50 comments on the
article, over 40 expressed opposition to taking the shot and the other
handful were merely asking questions about it. Hardly any comments
expressed support for the nationwide rollout of the swine flu vaccine.<
And while this article seems to indicate this is new, transmission from pigs to humans was documented in February, and Ebola has been known to be in Philipine swine since as early as 2007. Yet we only hear about it now?!?!

Transmission of an infectious superbug from dogs and cats to humans, and back again, is an increasing problem, a new study finds. The superbug, a strain of bacteria known as MRSA, has evolved a resistance to antibiotics. It has long plagued hospitals but in recent years has become more common in homes. MRSA has even invaded beaches. Only about two years ago, scientists began to seriously suspect pets were transmitting the bacteria
