Soy & Breast Cancer Researcher

Soy estrogens and breast cancer: Researcher offers overview

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Are soy products healthy additions to a person’s diet, safe alternatives to hormone-replacement therapy or cancer-causing agents? The answer, according to University of Illinois food science and human nutrition professor William Helferich, is, “It depends.”

“The resolution of this paradox may lie in the timing of estrogen administration,” Helferich said. Exposure to genistein, an estrogen, before puberty causes mammary gland differentiation. “A differentiated cell undergoes less proliferation and therefore is less likely to progress through the cancer process,” he said. “However, if the estrogen is administered to an animal after the development of an estrogen-responsive tumor, the growth of this tumor will be stimulated,” he said.

Editor’s note: To reach William Helferich, call 217-244-5414; e-mail: helferic@illinois.edu.

Poor nutrition stunts growth of millions

clipper's remarks: 200 million. Guess it is better than starving quickly. Most will experience starvation, as the food supply is not improving. Partial cure for overpopulation.

Nearly 200 million children in developing countries suffer from stunted growth and health problems due to poor nutrition in their early years, the UN children's foundation UNICEF says.

However, the percentage of children with retarded growth in Asia fell to 30 per cent last year from 44 per cent in 1990, and in Africa to 34 per cent from 38 per cent over the same period, UNICEF said in a report.

Despite a decline in the rate of the problem, 195 million children under five years old in developing countries have stunted growth due to poor nutrition during the critical period between their conception and second birthdays, UNICEF said.

Undernourished children often have poor physical health and slower mental development.

When the problem is widespread, as in India and Afghanistan, it undermines those countries' ability to improve their economies and eradicate poverty.

"Undernutrition steals a child's strength and makes illnesses that the body might otherwise fight off far more dangerous,"

Please Don't Give Me Any More Excuses To Ingest Chocolate

Move over, red wine. Make room for chocolate milk. A new study suggests that regular consumption of skim milk with flavonoid-rich cocoa may reduce inflammation, potentially slowing or preventing development of atherosclerosis. Researchers noted, however, that the effect was not as pronounced as that seen with red wine.

Participants also had significantly higher levels of good HDL cholesterol after completing the chocolate milk regimen, according to the study, which appears in the November issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition and is already online.

“Since atherosclerosis is a low-grade inflammatory disease of the arteries, regular cocoa intake seems to prevent or reduce” it, said Dr. Ramón Estruch of the University of Barcelona, the paper’s senior author, adding that more studies were needed.

Healthy Monday: Canada Joins Meatless Monday Movement

clipper's remarks: Could this happen here in the biggest meat consuming countries in the world? Don’t we care enough about our health to cut meat out of our diets at least one day a week? Most of our health costs stem from eating red meat. Most of our food costs stem from feeding cattle. Doesn’t it make economic as well as heatlh sense to cut down on our red meat consumption?

Red meat again linked to cancer risk: http://www.foodnavigator.com/Science-Nutrition/Red-meat-again-linked-to-cancer-risk-Study

The global Meatless Monday movement continues to gain momentum. Britain, Brazil, Holland, Finland and Taiwan have already launched their programs. Now, we’d like to welcome the wonderful people of Canada and congratulate them as they begin their own Meatless Monday!

The Canadian Meatless Monday launched at this year’s Taste of Health convention in Vancouver, Canada. Taste of Health is an opportunity for those concerned with healthy, environmentally friendly food to come together. The convention’s 6,000 attendees welcomed Meatless Monday with open arms.

Unlike many of the solutions to global warming that require government action, Meatless Monday is a tangible personal action that every Canadian can easily embrace. More greenhouse gasses can be prevented by going meatless one day a week than by eating locally seven days a week.
