Eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA -- the essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid abundant in oily fish -- may help protect stroke patients from suffering a second stroke, a Japanese study shows.
In a study of people with high cholesterol who were taking a low dose of a cholesterol-lowering "statin," researchers found that adding EPA did not reduce the occurrence of a first stroke but did lower recurrence rates in those with a history of stroke. MORE
Plans to ban dozens of pesticides will lead to more food shortages and send prices rising further, it was claimed yesterday.
A directive being proposed by the European Commission is designed to reduce the level of toxic chemicals in food.
It would lead to a ban on 15 per cent of pesticides, it has been estimated.
European plans to ban potentially dangerous pesticides will lead to more food shortages and send prices soaring even further, scientists have warned
Dr Ian Denholm, of Rothamsted Research Institute in Hertfordshire, said the ban was politically motivated and would have ' genuinely alarming' consequences, including pushing up food prices.
But anti-pesticide campaigners accused the scientists of scare mongering, and said the new rules were a sensible "precautionary move" that would protect people's health. More

LUBBOCK, Texas - A slice of cool, fresh watermelon is a juicy way to top off a Fourth of July cookout and one that researchers say has effects similar to Viagra — but don't necessarily expect it to keep the fireworks all night long.
Watermelons contain an ingredient called citrulline that can trigger production of a compound that helps relax the body's blood vessels, similar to what happens when a man takes Viagra, said scientists in Texas, one of the nation's top producers of the seedless variety.

The researchers believe a chemical in the food sparks hundreds of genetic changes, activating some genes that fight cancer and switching off others that fuel tumors, said Richard Mithen, a biologist at Britain's Institute of Food Research.More

MONDAY, June 30 (HealthDay News) -- Eating an unhealthy diet during pregnancy may raise your child's lifetime risk of obesity and elevated cholesterol and blood sugar levels, British researchers report.
In tests on rats, a Royal Veterinary College team fed one group of females a diet of processed junk food such as donuts, muffins, cookies, chips and sweets during pregnancy and breast-feeding, while another group of females received a healthy diet of regular feed.
The researchers compared the offspring of the two groups of female rats and found those born to mothers fed a junk food diet had higher levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, a type of fat found in the bloodstream. Both increase the risk of heart disease.
