Silicon-Powered Anti-Heart Disease Sausages / High Protein Breakfast, High Satiety, No Change in Food Intake / 49% Higher Chance of Healthy Aging Depends on Moderation

Written by | published on

Can you pump them up w/ silicon and to negate their atherosclerotic effects!?  In today's installment of the Nutrition Research Update in the Short News , I am going to tackle three studies that deal with the surprisingly pronounced, yet practically potentially irrelevant benefits of eating a high protein breakfast, silicon... not in breasts, but sausages as a means to protect you from heart disease and the fact that calories count  so much that even on a "healthy diet" only those who eat in moderation will age healthily. That sounds interesting? Fine! I am not going to waste any more time and will fast forward to the first study...

Virgin Coconut Oil Minimizes Weight Gain and Improves Blood Lipids (HDL⇈, LDL + VLDL ↘) to Reduce Atherogenic Index by 84% Even in Rats on Non-Atherogenic Diets

There are more than a dozen of options for virgin coconut oil on the market and there's no way the normal custumer can tell which one is actually "virgin" and which is a fraud and maybe even adulterated with palm oil - the technology to identify adulterations is there (Manaf. 2007), but I haven't heard of a label that would prove that the products were tested. You are probably as fed-up with the hype around coconut oil as I am, right? Coconut oil here, coconut oil there. For this, for that and "did you know that coconut oil will also ..." Yes, you can even argue that a new branch of broscientists and snake oil vendors is dealing with little else than coconut oil. In spite of that, I consider it at least remotely possible that the data from a recent rodent study that was published in the  UK Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biosciences (Sharig. 2015) will catch your attention. I am sure you won't catch fire, though, but maybe at least some sparks, whe...

If Buttered (Bulletproof) Coffee Increased Your Cholesterol & Triglycerides, You May Have Forgotten the Coffee Filter

Written by | published on

Bulletproof coffee is a bogus fad, but is it also bad for your blood lipids? You will probably have heard about the (over-)hyped "bulletproof coffee" (=coffee with butter in it) triggering measurable (and in some cases) significant increases in total and LDL cholesterol in bulletproof addicts (case studies + Toklu. 2015). Now, the most obvious trigger of the cholesterol increase is the butter you put into the coffee to make it "bulletproof". Another possible reason for the increase in cholesterol is yet the coffee itself. A reason that people apparently forgot about ever since van Dusseldorp, Marijke, et al. published their 1991 paper called the "Cholesterol-raising factor from boiled coffee does not pass a paper filter."

Retinol (Vitamin A) - A Re-Discovered Weapon in the Battle Against Atherosclerosis: Reduced Progression in Patients, Protection For Healthy Subjects From 25,000IU/Day Retinol

No it's not fish oil that's going to save your a** from dying of heart attack. It's vitamin A! 25,000IU/day for those who are already suffering from atherosclerotic lesions and heard disease could do the trick. 600,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year–that’s 1 in every 4 deaths; and at least some could have been prevented, if vitamin A had not been demonized as bone-dissolving kidney and liver killer for decades. That's at least what the results of a recent study from the Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences in the - at least in terms of medical paradigms - open-minded Iran (Mottaghi. 2014). Unlike their Western colleagues who would probably considered the provision of 25,000IU of retinyl palmitate per day an act of personal injury, Azadeh Mottaghi and his colleagues dared administering the said amount of pre-formed vitamin A to 31 atherosclerotic patients and 15 healthy controls for 4 full months; and the results were...
