Survey on plastic bottles The microplastic is often present in the drinking water and a research carried out on mineral water packaged in plastic bottles would have found a contamination which comes from the same packaging even if it is not clear whether it can pose a health hazard, but for sure this clashes with the salutary and purity statements touted by the water-bottled companies that describe in most cases various positive effects on the body and also healing property. The researchers fear, generally for the contamination with regard to the drinking water, that the plastic micro-particles (composed of chains of polymers with the addition of chemical additives) can reach up to the tissues causing oxidative stress with consequent chronic inflammation. International organisations say that first should be established the concentration levels of microplastics which may be damaging. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 17, 2018

 Study on soy formula for newborns breastfeeding It happens that mothers who cannot breastfeed their children decide for avoid allergies, lactose intolerances and other digestive difficulties to use instead of a preparation formulated with cow's milk a soy-based formula from which is obtained a milk-like beverage which, however, it is a little too rich in estrogen especially for females and can alter the endocrine system and interfere slightly with normal hormonal development; at least for the results of a study carried out by American researchers who have monitored the data related to two hundred and eighty-three infants of which two hundred and two lactate with soy formula, one hundred and eleven breastfed with milk and seventy to the mother breast. The differences found are not relevant so it is not the case to worry about having chosen a formula based on soy, then needless to say that breastfeeding is far preferable and there are stratagems to solve any problems. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 14, 2018 n°: 3715 Healthy oranges juice just squeezing the oranges The news that the minimum content of orange juice present in the drinks will have to go from the current twelve percent to the twenty although positive should not make the consumer think that it is in the whole of healthy beverages; in fact just squeezing the oranges and drinking the juice without spending a lot of time the organism can benefit from the C vitamin that is thermolabile, then should also be careful to dose with due caution the sugar (if can not avoid the use) since it raises the glycemic index of the food by predisposing to obesity and related pathologies. Needless to say that eating an orange is better than squeezing in order to have the supply of abundant fibers in the spongy and white mesocarp, then can enjoy more of the scents that release dividing the segments of the fruit without forgetting the ideal contact figured with the tree and the nature. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Mar 07, 2018 n°: 3709 Cancers favored by highly processed foods Increasing the intake of highly processed industrial foods by a ten percent in nutrition also increases the risk of cancer for a percentage that can reach twelve percent and for example in the case of women is estimated a risk of breast cancer upper to eleven percent; at least according to a French online study in which researchers have monitored in Paris from 2009 the data of almost one hundred and five thousand people (aged eighteen or older) who participated in the registration of their consumption of about three thousand and three hundred products in the twenty-four hour interval. The study would require a wider range of data including those of different types of populations in order to give reliable indications, however it emerges that simply changing the lifestyle could avoid being affected by many forms of cancer therefore it is advisable to consider whether to consume some "junk" food. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 16, 2018 n°: 3693 Do not eat meat to protect the environment Between 1992 and 2016 meat consumption would have grown by more than five times contributing to the increase of polluting emissions, land use and deforestation as well as that species of epidemic related to global obesity, growth of percentage of diabetes and cancer cases; so according to some it would be appropriate to compare the consumption of meat to that of tobacco, sugar and coal that are often taxed because they are detrimental to the health of the population and the environment. The increase in the world population has as a result a greater exploitation of all the resources including the relevant impact of the demand for meat since many more animals are needed that are not sustainable by the ecosystem, then the changes climatic conditions in place on the planet with prolonged droughts and extreme phenomena make the breeding and maintenance of the entire production chain increasingly difficult. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jan 09, 2018 n°: 3660 Research for a new test for celiac disease Celiac disease that causes gluten intolerance is increasingly common among the population so that many people if they experience some digestive disorder eliminate food with gluten even without having performed the test for this autoimmune disease; then it happens that if later after following the diet for celiacs undergo the test this fails to detect the abnormal immune response, but a new experimental test seems that still manages to detect the immune cells in a sample of blood targeted to the organism's response to gluten. It is a test that would have proved to be very precise in the diagnosis of celiac disease even if not yet available on the market and it is hoped that given the strong demand there may be companies willing to produce in large scale, bearing in mind that lately there has been a kind of senseless salutary fashion in wanting to follow a gluten-free diet. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 29, 2017 n°: 3651 Purifying water from plastic residues Pollution from plastic residues in drinking water and generally in seas, rivers and streams is becoming an increasingly serious threat to human health and at the same time a really difficult problem to solve; some are skeptical about the use of high-tech solution to try to purify the water and claim that solutions are now available to prevent the plastic from ending up in the water we drink since it is evident that must act above all in the early stages of pollution and then look for other effective solutions. Throwing waste into the rivers has always been a rather widespread practice (lacking an environmental consciousness) and since 1950 the amount of plastic produced has increased enormously with a disastrous result so much to end up in the food chain as well as generating plastic islands that roam the oceans and deface the beaches in the most pristine places on the planet. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 06, 2017 n°: 3633 Controversy over the glyphosate authorizations The European Union's decision to prolong for another five years the authorisation for the use of the glyphosate herbicide has caused the protests of some countries not in agreement with the renewal of the licence (however for a half-time period) to a pesticide reported by health organisations as harmful to healthcare and especially the France would have advanced the request to revise the system of assessment and approval of chemicals also because there is no agreement between the opinions of the various agencies that have to supervise about their safety. This herbicide placed on the market in 1974 by a well-known American company that also produces seed is increasingly used not only on agricultural fields where it is sprayed on crops, but also on lawns and gardens, so much so that some complain about abuse of the product in practice allowed by the regulations established by the food safety authority and by the agency that supervises chemicals. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 28, 2017 n°: 3626 Cinnamon to improve metabolic health A test carried out on the adipocytes of volunteers of different ages, ethnicity and fitness condition would have shown that if treated with an essential oil (cinnamaldehyde) present in the cinnamon and that characterizes the typical scent of the spices could be useful to improve metabolic health and promote the thermogenesis, at least according to American researchers who claim that this discovery could help to avoid obesity. Several genes and enzymes involved in lipid metabolism would be more activated in the presence of this essential oil and also two proteins regulating metabolic metabolism involved in the thermogenesis, whereas the adipocytes normally store the energy in the form of lipids. In the past it had already been verified how cinnamon could play a role in the control of cholesterol and had other healthy characteristics in general for the body. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 24, 2017 n°: 3623 Select drought-resistant crops To avoid a significant loss of production for wide variety of crops as is happening in some areas of the globe ad happen for example for grapes, olives, coffee should select seedlings that can withstand climate warming and therefore drought as well as to try to protect the land with screens that can divert heat waves that will become increasingly frequent. It may be advisable to change completely the type of cultivation for non-adaptable soils or modernise irrigation with programmable plants and large rainwater collection tanks in case of extreme events; moreover, these interventions would also serve to preserve jobs in the agricultural sector. To be reported changing topic but remaining on issues related to the nutrition a survey of some time ago that reported how in drinking water were often present little reassuring plastic residues. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 13, 2017 n°: 3562 Nutrition * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
