The prevalence of childhood obesity in children has reached alarming levels, even in developing countries 'Fatostatin' is a turnoff for fat genesAugust 27, 2009 - EurekAlert / Journal of Chemistry and Biology A small molecule earlier found to have both anti-fat and anti-cancer abilities works as a literal turnoff for fat-making genes Kudzu shows promise as a dietary supplementAugust 26, 2009 - EurekAlert / Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry Kudzu, the nuisance vine that has overgrown almost 10 million acres in the southeastern United States, may sprout into a dietary supplement. Scientists in Alabama and Iowa are reporting the first evidence that root extracts from kudzu show promise as a dietary supplement for a high-risk condition -- the metabolic syndrome -- that affects almost 50 million people in the United States alone. UCF discovery could open door to obesity, diabetes treatmentsAugust 26, 2009 - EurekAlert / Journal of Biological Chemistry A UCF research team has identified a new genetic mechanism that controls the body's fat-building process. The discovery could open the door to new treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes, and it has the potential to help hundreds of millions of people and dramatically cut health care costs 10- and 11-year-olds feel pressure to have a perfect bodyAugust 26, 2009 - EurekAlert / BMC Public Health A study of 4,254 Canadian schoolchildren has shown a direct association between BMI and satisfaction with their body shape.

Researchers analyzed calorie, protein, carbohydrate, fat and beverage intake, as well as the dietary restraint of over 300 individuals Low-carb diets linked to atherosclerosis and impaired blood vessel growthAugust 24, 2009 - EurekAlert / Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Even as low-carbohydrate, high-protein diets have proven successful at helping individuals to rapidly lose weight, little is known about the diets' long-term effects on vascular health. Now, a study finds a significant increase in atherosclerosis in mice that were fed a low-carb diet |
