High-protein diets may harm your kidneys
A high-protein diet is believed to be healthy. It is suggested that it keeps you fit, helps you to lose fat and to retain lean muscle mass. Avoiding carbohydrates and substituting them with proteins has become a leading dogma for…

Clearing damaged cells out of the body helps heal diabetics’ blood vessels
Research published today in Experimental Physiology shows that ramping up one of the body’s waste disposal system, called autophagy, helps heal the blood vessels of diabetics. Complications with blood vessels (known as vascular complications) are major risk factors for morbidity…
Intermittent fasting increases longevity in cardiac catheterization patients
While Intermittent fasting may sound like another dieting craze, the practice of routinely not eating and drinking for short periods of time has shown again to lead to potentially better health outcomes. In a new study by researchers at the…
Life experience critical for managing Type 2 diabetes
A team of researchers at Carnegie Mellon University found that age plays a critical role in the well-being of people newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, with younger patients more susceptible to psychological distress resulting in worse health outcomes. “We…

Diet trials often amend their outcome measures as they go
Ever wonder why science can’t settle simple diet-related questions? In part it’s because most clinical trials involving diet, even those published in good journals, lack the rigor of most drug trials. They’re often small, of short duration, and unable to…
Study raises new warnings about frail surgery patients
VA-funded study looked at data on more than 400,000 veterans
Study suggests weight-loss surgery may release toxic compounds from fat into bloodstream
Research finds that PCBs and other environmental toxicants that accumulate in fat are present in the bloodstream after bariatric weight-loss surgery
Changing weight-loss strategies, attempts
Bottom Line: The proportion of adults who tried to lose weight in the previous year increased from 1999 to 2016 but the findings of this observational study suggest the results may have been unsatisfactory. The analysis included data collected from…
Can ‘smart toilets’ be the next health data wellspring?
