90% of our exposure to the hormone-disrupting chemical bisphenol A comes from certain components of our diet.

There are some companies that make canned foods without BPA, for example, Eden Foods (Do Eden Beans Have Too Much Iodine? http://nutritionfacts.org/2012/07/05/do-eden-beans-have-too-much-iodine/). You can also buy aseptic packaged beans or boil your own (I like pressure cooking them). Phthalates are another concerning class of plastics chemicals.

There is a lot of misinformation on the Internet regarding the differences between MCT oil and coconut oil. Is MCT oil better than coconut oil, as many bloggers today would like you to believe? How can a product that has the most famous and most dominant medium chain fatty acid (lauric acid) removed from the original product be considered "better"? How many people realize that "MCT oil" is simply a by-product of coconut oil after the more valuable lauric acid has been removed?

Myelin is a structure that protects neurons. Certain lifestyle and dietary factors may increase myelination; learn more about it here.

Both organic milk and meat contain around 50 percent more beneficial omega-3 fatty acids than conventionally produced products, report researchers who conducted systematic literature reviews and analyzed data from around the world.

Obesity and associated metabolic complications, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), are in constant increase around the world. While most obese patients show several metabolic and biometric abnormalities and comorbidities, a subgroup of patients representing 3% to 57% of obese adults, depending on the diagnosis criteria, remains metabolically healthy. Among many other factors, the gut microbiota is now identified as a determining factor in the pathogenesis of metabolically unhealthy obese (MUHO) individuals and in obesity-related diseases such as endotoxemia, intestinal and systemic inflammation, as well as insulin resistance. Interestingly, recent studies suggest that an optimal healthy-like gut microbiota structure may contribute to the metabolically healthy obese (MHO) phenotype. Here, we describe how dietary medium chain triglycerides (MCT), previously found to promote lipid catabolism, energy expenditure and weight loss, can ameliorate metabolic health via their capacity to improve both intestinal ecosystem and permeability. MCT-enriched diets could therefore be used to manage metabolic diseases through modification of gut microbiota.

A Paleolithic-type diet may help obese postmenopausal women lose weight, improve their circulating fatty acid profile and lower their future risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, new research reports.

Omega-3 fatty acids may influence human physiological parameters in part by affecting the gut microbiome. The aim of this study was to investigate the links between omega-3 fatty acids, gut microbiome diversity and composition and faecal metabolomic profiles ...

Olives are not only rich in healthy fats but also in antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients, making them a powerful superfood in support of heart and metabolic health

Omega-3 fatty acids are able to stimulate the activation of brown and beige adipose tissues, a discovery that would promote the development of new therapies for obesity and other metabolism diseases, according to a research study.

Coconut oil is a rich source of beneficial medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) particularly lauric acid. In this study, the oil was modified into a value-added product using direct modification of substrate through fermentation (DIMOSFER) method. A coconut-based ...

A simple tablespoon daily of coconut oil could promote weight loss and improve cardiovascular health, reveals a compelling clinical study.

Butter has gotten a bad rap for many years, starting in the last century with the rise of margarine, which we now recognize as a deadly trans fat. More recently, butter has been shunned in favor of olive oil and canola oil. But here’s why we should reserve a place at the table for good old-fashioned butter

By now, I'm sure you've seen the USA Today article entitled, "Coconut oil isn't healthy. It's never been healthy". Fear-mongering, attention-grabbing headlines certainly sell copy, but do not make for evidence-informed, high quality science reporting.

15 Ways to LOSE WEIGHT & GET RID OF BELLY FAT without going to the gym. Most people just don't have the time to go to the gym, so for busy people, here are great ways to lose weight and burn fat at home or at work. Its FAST and EASY and SIMPLE! Follow these easy weight loss steps and watch what happens! TheHealthyLife: http://www.markusworld.com/thehealthylife/15ways Our Raw Vegan Health Cookbook: http://www.markusworld.com/healthycookbook/15ways Facebook: http://www.markusworld.com/facebook/15ways Instagram: http://www.markusworld.com/instagram/15ways Markus Rothkranz website: http://www.markusworld.com/Markus/15ways Online Health Store: http://www.markusworld.com/products/15ways German website: http://www.markusworld.com/german/15ways 15 Ways to lose weight FAST without going to gym, burn belly fat To lose weight, you MUST burn more calories than you eat. So how do you do this realistically with your busy crazy schedule? Here are15 ways to lose weight fast without going to the gym. 15 Drink LOTS OF WATER or Tea (not coffee- coffee burns out the adrenals and thyroid which leads to weight gain) 14 FIBER ****** Eating lots of fiber is one of the best ways to get thin and stay thin. It helps remove bad things from your body and helps keep you feeling full so you don’t eat much. Only fresh plant foods have fiber- animal products have zero fiber, they just constipate, so eat lots of fresh plant foods, salads, fiber and water. 13 KEEP MOVING- do NOT sit for long periods of time- Keep that body moving! Every 30 minutes do a 1 minute stand-lie-stand or squats (at work) 12 EXERCISE- the best time to exercise is on an empty stomach so your body is forced to use fat for fuel instead of food. Muscles can use fat for fuel… and working out muscles creates lactic acid… which melts fat 11 LOSE THE STRESS! Cortisol releases glycogen which raises blood sugar, which releases insulin which stimulates formation of fat. Stress also burns out the adrenals and thyroid which are needed to help keep you thin. 10 DON’T EAT UNTIL AFTERNOON - try for 4 pm, but at least not until noon and do your cardio before you eat so your body can only use fat for fuel, not food. 9 SLEEP EARLIER AND LONGER! This is actually one of the most important ways to lose fat. Sleeping burns more calories and fat than working out, but it needs to be SOUND sleep. Lack of sleep slows down your metabolism, your hormones and makes you more hungry and fat. People who sleep 10 hrs lose double the fat of those who sleep only 6 hrs 8 Reduce or totally cut REFINED OILS, and REFINED or CONCENTRATED SUGAR This includes fruit juice, honey and dried fruit which is highly concentrated sugar. 7 CUT ALL ALCOHOL Alcohol turns into sugar which turns into fat. It also fries the liver which is needed to process fats in the body. 6 EAT ONLY UNTIL YOU ARE 80% FULL This is one of the secrets of the longest living people on earth. If you eat until you are full, you have eaten too much! 5 ANYTHING that makes you BREATHE HEAVIER huffing and puffing 4 PROBIOTICS, CULTURED AND FERMENTED FOODS help keep you thin. The main food source for probiotics is fiber, so again- eat lots of fiber and fresh plant foods! 3 CLEAN YOUR LIVER- it doesn’t just process and get rid of fat, it processes estrogens. Too much estrogen makes you fat. A sluggish fatty liver results in a sluggish fatty body, so clean your liver with bitter food, not sweet food and get the liver formula at MarkusLiverFormula.com 2 Try to have SOUP and SALAD before a meal. It fills you up and makes you want less of the heavy fattening food. Plus, if your main course is cooked food, the salad is much better and more nutritious anyway. Of course do not get cream soup or creamy salad dressing and no cheese on the salad! (man goes Ooh! (darn!) Controlling yourself is key. The party lasts one night, belly fat lasts for weeks or months NUMBER ONE -WHAT YOU EAT -HOW MUCH YOU EAT -WHEN YOU EAT is more important than anything! Do not eat or snack all day long if you want to lose weight. Once you have the weight you want, then you can snack all day if you use the right foods. *BONUS* STAND MORE, SIT LESS. Standing burns more calories than sitting. Get a standing desk. SUNLIGHT triggers hormones and creates vitamins in your body that help you lose weight. Get at least 20 minutes a day Get the Fat-Weight-Cellulite ebook at MarkusEbooks.com Up next.. the top 10 exercises you can do at home to burn fat without going to the gym!

Clostridium difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming anaerobic human gastrointestinal pathogen. C. difficile infection (CDI) is a major health concern worldwide, with symptoms ranging from diarrhea to pseudomembranous colitis, toxic megacolon, sepsis, ...

Cells of our immune system kill pathogens by enclosing them in a compartment called the phagosome. The pathogen-containing phagosome is physically transported to execution chambers (lysosomes) by nanoscale 'Motor' proteins. Researchers show that cholesterol is needed to cluster many Motors on the phagosome's surface. This assembles an army of Motors that carries the phagosome to the execution chamber. Cholesterol, that much dreaded name, therefore also keeps us healthy by helping to kill bugs.
