Low levels of vitamin D could raise risk of pancreatic cancer (Source: Thinkstock Images)
Low levels of vitamin D could raise risk of pancreatic cancer as the rates of the disease are the highest in countries with the least amount of sunlight, says a study.
“If you are living at a high latitude or in a place with a lot of heavy cloud cover, you cannot make vitamin D most of the year, which results in a higher-than-normal risk of getting pancreatic cancer,” said first author Cedric Garland from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine.
According to the study, people who live in sunny countries near the equator have only one-sixth of the age-adjusted incidence rate of pancreatic cancer as those who live far from it.
“The importance of sunlight deficiency strongly suggests — but does not prove — that vitamin D deficiency may contribute to the development of pancreatic cancer,” Garland noted.
Vitamin D is naturally produced by the body when the skin is directly exposed to sunlight. Limited foods also contain vitamin D. While fatty fish, such as salmon and tuna, are good sources, cheese and egg yolks provide small amounts.
The researchers studied data from 107 countries, taking into account international differences and possible confounders, such as alcohol consumption, obesity and smoking.
“While these other factors also contribute to risk, the strong inverse association with cloud-cover adjusted sunlight persisted even after they were accounted for,” Garland said.
As per the World Cancer Research Fund International, pancreatic cancer is the 12th most common cancer in the world.
Incidence rates are highest in North America and Europe; lowest in Africa and Asia.
The study appeared in the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.
Individuals with Type-2 diabetes generally have difficulty regulating their glucose, or blood sugar, levels, particularly after meals. (Source: Thinkstock Images)
If you are suffering from Type-2 diabetes, having a breakfast rich in protein — 25 to 30 grams — can reduce glucose spikes at both breakfast and lunch, a new research has found.
Individuals with Type-2 diabetes generally have difficulty regulating their glucose, or blood sugar, levels, particularly after meals.
(Also read: All you wanted to know about Diabetes)
“The first meal of the day is critical in maintaining glycemic control at later meals, so it really primes people for the rest of the day,” said Jill Kanaley, professor at the University of Missouri.
The researchers monitored Type-2 diabetics’ levels of glucose, insulin and several gut hormones — which help regulate the insulin response — after breakfast and lunch.
The participants ate either high-protein or high-carbohydrate breakfasts, and the lunch included a standard amount of protein and carbohydrates.
(Also read: Four ways how Homeopathy gets into root to cure Diabetes)
The researchers found eating more protein at breakfast lowered individuals’ post-meal glucose levels.
Insulin levels were slightly elevated after the lunch meal, which demonstrated that individuals’ bodies were working appropriately to regulate blood-sugar levels, Kanaley said.
The researchers cautioned that although it would be helpful for individuals with high blood sugar to eat more protein, they do not need to consume extreme amounts of protein to reap the benefits.

“We suggest consuming 25 to 30 grams of protein at breakfast, which is within the range of the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) recommendations,” Kanaley said.

Contrary to popular perception, people suffering from depression may not be more prone to commit violent acts in the future (Source: Thinkstock Images)
Contrary to popular perception, people suffering from depression may not be more prone to commit violent acts in the future, says a new research.
The fact that the German co-pilot suspected to be behind the deadly plane crash in the French Alps last month, killing himself along with the 149 people on board, was apparently suffering from depression has prompted many to speculate that most psychiatric disorders could lead to violent behaviour.
According to the new findings only substance use disorders predict future violence.
“Our findings are relevant to the recent tragic plane crash in the French Alps. Our findings show that no one could have predicted that the pilot — who apparently suffered from depression — would perpetrate this violent act,” said corresponding author Linda Teplin, professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in the US.
“It is not merely a suicide, but an act of mass homicide,” Teplin noted.
The study did find, however, that males with mania were more than twice as likely to report current violence than those without. But these relationships are not necessarily causal, the researchers noted.
Delinquent youth with psychiatric illness have multiple risk factors — such as living in violent and impoverished neighbourhoods — the study emphasised.
The study used data from youth who were detained at the Cook County Juvenile Temporary Detention Center in Chicago between 1995 and 1998.
Violence and psychiatric disorders were assessed via self-report in 1,659 youth aged 13 to 25 years.
“We must improve how we address multiple problems — including violent behaviour — as part of psychiatric treatment,” study first author Katherine Elkington, assistant professor of clinical psychology in psychiatry at Columbia University Medical School, pointed out.
The study was published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.

The first HIV self-test kit that allows people to get a result in 15 minutes at home, is now on sale in Britain, media reported on Monday.
The do-it-yourself test is made by company ‘Bio Sure UK’ and can be bought online, BBC reported. It works just like a pregnancy test, measuring levels of antibodies in a person’s blood.
The device analyses a small droplet of blood, taken from the finger-tip using a lancet. Two purple lines denotes a positive result.

If you like to believe that one alcoholic drink a day would not harm you, read this carefully.
New research has found that moving from moderate to heavy daily drinking – up to one drink a day for women and two drinks a day for men – increases liver cirrhosis risk.
The researchers analysed the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health, which included parameters of alcohol consumption and drinking patterns from 193 countries.
The data showed that the cirrhosis burden caused by alcohol increased by 11.13 percent when moving from the moderate to heavy daily drinking classification.
“The presence of heavy daily drinkers in a population most significantly and independently influences the weight of alcohol in a country’s cirrhosis burden,” said one of the researchers Eva Stein from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
According to the WHO, excessive alcohol drinking is the most common cause of cirrhosis worldwide.
Most studies assessing the prevalence of alcohol abuse as a risk factor for alcoholic cirrhosis focus on total annual amount drunk per person.
However, the researchers highlight that clinical studies suggest that it is a high daily consumption which is the strongest predictor of alcoholic cirrhosis.
According to WHO’s “Global Status Report on Alcohol and Health”, around six percent of global deaths are caused by drinking alcohol, the majority from alcoholic cirrhosis – scarring of the liver as a result of continuous, long-term liver damage.
Half of all cases of cirrhosis are caused by alcohol.
The study was presented at The International Liver Congress 2015 in Vienna, Austria.

Though the microwave has enjoyed a fairly good safety record, it uses electromagnetic radiations that cause water, fat and sugar molecules in food to vibrate quickly and build-up heat energy.
While the microwave oven has undeniably offered a convenient way to heat food, prompting its extensive use in urban homes and commercial properties, newer studies are, however, pointing out some concerns.
Though the microwave has enjoyed a fairly good safety record, it uses electromagnetic radiations that cause water, fat and sugar molecules in food to vibrate quickly and build-up heat energy. Heating in general destroys some heat labile nutrients. However, if cooking time is short as in microwaves, it does a better job of preserving those nutrients.
Regulatory health authorities consider it safe, if instructions are followed correctly.
Some studies have shown health concerns relating to its radiations and others to its nutritional aspect. Its well documented that nutritional value of microwaved food is preserved effectively, may be better than conventional cooking. However, losses of certain essential nutrients like antioxidants, flavanoid (disease fighting components), vitamins like vitamin B12 and other phenolic compounds have been reported. One of the studies have reported higher losses of flavonoids (97%), sinapic acid derivatives (74%) and caffeoyl-quinic acid derivatives (87%) in broccoli, when it was microwaved compared to conventional cooking methods.
Researchers suggest using water minimally during cooking of vegetables to help prevent these losses.
A word of caution for mothers who use the microwave for heating formula or breast milk. According a study published in the journal, Paediatrics, microwaving can destroy the essential disease-fighting components in breast milk that offer protection to infants. Microwaved breast milk loses lysozyme activity, antibodies, and may foster the growth of more potentially harmful bacteria.
Till further research evidence is gathered, it is suggested that microwaves are used with care, not as an alternative to conventional cooking and are better used for reheating. An occasional micro-waved meal will certainly not be harmful but a steady diet of eating foods cooked in microwave can certainly be a health concern.

If you thought smoking cigars is less harmful than smoking cigarettes, your are wrong. (Source: Thinkstock Images)
If you thought smoking cigars is less harmful than smoking cigarettes, your are wrong. New research associates many of the same fatal conditions as cigarette smoking.
Researchers from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) carried out a systematic review of studies about cigar smoking and all-cause and smoking-related mortality to gain more comprehensive information about the long-term public health implications of cigar use.
“The results reinforce the fact that cigar smoking carries many of the same health risks as cigarette smoking.
“Cigar smoking is linked to fatal oral, esophageal, pancreatic, laryngeal, and lung cancers, as well as heart disease and aortic aneurysm,” said lead researcher Cindy Chang from Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Consumption of cigars in the USA doubled from 6.2 billion cigars in 2000 to more than 13.7 billion in 2011. This contrasts with a 33% reduction in cigarette consumption over the same period.
There is particular concern about cigar use in youth and young adults.
The team wanted to examine the health risks to current cigar smokers compared to those who never smoked cigarettes or never used any tobacco, so they excluded any study that involved current cigarette smokers.
As such, 22 studies were analysed that were primarily conducted in the USA, the UK, Canada, Denmark, Sweden and Finland.
The authors also report that those who exclusively smoked cigars and had never smoked other tobacco products also had an increased risk of all-cause mortality.A
The risk of death from oral, oesophageal and lung cancers was found to increase with inhalation of cigar smoke.
Even in those who reported not inhaling cigar smoke, there was an increased risk of death caused by oral, laryngeal and oesophageal cancer.
The study was published in open access journal BMC Public Health.

People who drink three to five cups of coffee a day may have a lower risk of heart attack.
Drinking just two cups of coffee a day can help inhibit the growth of tumours and reduce the risk of recurrence in women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, a new research suggests.
The researchers combined information about the patients’ lifestyle and clinical data from 1,090 breast cancer patients with studies on breast cancer cells.
“The study shows that among the over 500 women treated with (the drug) tamoxifen, those who had drunk at least two cups of coffee a day had only half the risk of recurrence of those who drank less coffee or none at all,” explained Ann Rosendahl, one of the researchers from Lund University in Sweden.
“The study also shows that those who drank at least two cups of coffee a day had smaller tumours and a lower proportion of hormone-dependent tumours. We saw that this was already the case at the time of diagnosis,” Rosendahl noted.
In the cell study, the researchers looked more closely at two substances found in coffee — caffeine and caffeic acid.
“The breast cancer cells reacted to these substances, especially caffeine, with reduced cell division and increased cell death, especially in combination with tamoxifen,” Rosendahl noted.
“This shows that these substances have an effect on the breast cancer cells and turn off signalling pathways that the cancer cells require to grow,” Rosendahl said.
The study appeared in the journal Clinical Cancer Research.

Liver cancer is life-threatening because it is generally diagnosed in the later stages.
Liver cancer is life-threatening because it is generally diagnosed in the later stages. Now, scientists have identified a diagnostic biomarker of the disease and a potential way to reverse the damage done.
“Hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common form of liver cancer, remains the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide due to a lack of biomarkers for early detection and rapid fatality shortly after diagnosis,” said Ying Fu from the Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Washington, DC.
In new research, Fu and his team found that a damaged lesion on a DNA base (guanine) is correlated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in two mouse models.
“It has the potential to serve as a biomarker for early detection of hepatocellular carcinoma,” the team noted.
Furthermore, polyphenon E, a formulation of green tea extract containing antioxidant catechins (plant metabolites) showed the most potent effect to suppress the lesion.
“More importantly, 86 percent of the mice on the polyphenon E diet appeared to have complete protection from tumour development,” Fu claimed.
The study was presented at the American Association for Cancer Research’s (AACR) annual meeting in Philadelphia this week.

Over-the-counter dietary supplements you thought were good for you may actually increase cancer risk if taken in excess
Over-the-counter dietary supplements you thought were good for you may actually increase cancer risk if taken in excess of the recommended daily amount, says a new research.
“We are not sure why this is happening at the molecular level but evidence shows that people who take more dietary supplements than needed tend to have a higher risk of developing cancer,” said lead researcher Tim Byers from the University of Colorado Cancer Centre.
The line of research started 20 years ago with the observation that people who ate more fruits and vegetables tended to have less cancer.
Researchers including Byers wanted to see if taking extra vitamins and minerals would reduce cancer risk even further. They studied thousands of patients for 10 years, who were taking dietary supplements and placebos. The results were not what they expected.
“We found that the supplements were actually not beneficial for their health. In fact, some people actually got more cancer while on the vitamins,” Byers said.
One trial exploring the effects of beta-keratin supplements showed that taking more than the recommended dosage increased the risk of developing both lung cancer and heart disease by 20 percent.
Folic acid, which was thought to help reduce the number of polyps in a colon, actually increased the number in another trial.
“If taken at the correct dosage, multi-vitamins can be good for you. But there is no substitute for good, nutritional food,” he concluded.
Byers said that people can get the daily recommended doses of vitamins and minerals in their diets by eating healthy meals and that many adults who take vitamin supplements may not need them.
The findings were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting 2015 in Pennsylvania, US.

A decrease in the amount of time spent eating and an increase in overnight fasting reduces glucose levels and consequently may reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Overnight fasting may reduce the risk of breast cancer among women, says a study.
A decrease in the amount of time spent eating and an increase in overnight fasting reduces glucose levels and consequently may reduce the risk of breast cancer.
“Increasing the duration of overnight fasting could be a novel strategy to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer,” said first author Catherine Marinac from University of California, San Diego.
“This is a simple dietary change that, we believe, most women can understand and adopt. It may have a big impact on public health without requiring complicated counting of calories or nutrients,” Marinac added.
Women who fasted for longer periods of time overnight had significantly better control over blood glucose concentrations.
The data showed that each three hour increase in night time fasting was associated with a four percent lower postprandial glucose level, regardless of how much women ate.
“The dietary advice for cancer prevention usually focuses on limiting consumption of red meat, alcohol and refined grains while increasing plant-based foods,” said co-author Ruth Patterson, also from UC San Diego.
“New evidence suggests that when and how often people eat can also play a role in cancer risk,” Patterson said.
Women in the study reported eating five times per day with a mean night time fasting of 12 hours.
Those who reported longer fast durations also indicated they consumed fewer calories per day, ate fewer calories after 10 p.m. and had fewer eating episodes.
One maximal aspect of night-time fasting could mean that you didn’t let anything cross your lips from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m., but ate anything you wanted for eight hours a day.
The period of night-time fasting could be reduced but studies have found that fasting brings benefits such as increased insulin sensitivity, improved cholesterol profiles, better cognitive function and, of course, weight loss.
Researchers further recommended large-scale clinical trials to confirm that night time fasting results in favourable changes to biomarkers of glycemic control and breast cancer risk.
The study appeared in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

Previous studies have shown that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and garden cress — which have a high concentration of sulforaphane — help mitigate the effects of environmental carcinogens. (Source: Thinkstock Images)
A new therapy containing broccoli sprout extract has been found to protect not only mice against oral cancer but also tolerable in a small group of healthy human volunteers, says a new study.
“People who are cured of head and neck cancer are still at very high risk for a second cancer in their mouth or throat, and, unfortunately, these second cancers are commonly fatal,” explained lead author Julie Bauman from University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute in the US.
“So we are developing a safe, natural molecule found in cruciferous vegetables to protect the oral lining, where these cancers form,” Bauman noted.
Previous studies have shown that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and garden cress — which have a high concentration of sulforaphane — help mitigate the effects of environmental carcinogens.
For the new study, mice predisposed to oral cancer were given sulforaphane for several months and the team found that it significantly reduced the incidence and number of tumours.
The researchers then treated 10 healthy human volunteers with fruit juice mixed with sulforaphane-rich broccoli sprout extract.
The volunteers had no ill-effects from the extract and protective changes were detectable in the lining of their mouths, meaning it was absorbed and directed to at-risk tissue.
The researchers now plan to conduct a clinical trial that will recruit 40 volunteers, who have been curatively treated for head and neck cancer.
The participants will regularly take capsules containing broccoli seed powder to determine if they can tolerate the regimen and whether it has enough of an impact on their oral lining to prevent cancer. From there, larger clinical trials could be warranted, the researchers noted.
“We call this ‘green chemoprevention,’ where simple seed preparations or plant extracts are used to prevent disease,” Bauman noted.
“Green chemoprevention requires less money and fewer resources than a traditional pharmaceutical study and could be more easily disseminated in developing countries where head and neck cancer is a significant problem,” Bauman said.
The findings were presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Sweat is not made up of water alone. One also loses a lot of sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium and magnesium which needs to be replaced. (Source: Thinkstock Images)This is the third and the last article from the water-sweat series. As I have written in my previous two articles, our cells, collectively, are our biggest reservoirs of water. But when we need sweat to cool us, our body first takes water to manufacture the sweat from our blood.
Maintenance of blood volume is vital, so the loss of blood-water is quickly taken care of by drawing water out from the tissues and tissues in turn pull the water out from our cells. The same process happens when we take fluids – water first reaches the blood, then the tissues and then our cells. The fact is water in our body is not stagnant, but it is a forever moving substance – from blood to the tissues to the cells and vice versa. How does water move in our body from one compartment to another? Who or what pushes it, and what we must do to keep it moving to remain hydrated and healthy?
Like we need transport, let us say a car, truck, train or a plane to move faster and be more active, similarly many substances in our body must be transported across the body at the right places where they are used. We have carrier proteins that have affinity for specific substances like amino acids, salts, sugars and other nutrients that are taken by the carrier proteins in and out of our cells. Unfortunately water gets no such help; it is not actively transported into or from our cells. What then helps the water to travel across, how does it move in and out of our cells?
The answer is that it moves by osmosis, where sodium, potassium and some other minerals play an important role. These minerals (Sodium chloride, higher concentration outside the cells, and potassium chloride, higher concentration inside the cells, are most important for water transport) exist as ions. An ion is a mineral or element that has a positive or negative charge. This unstable ionic state allows the element to bond readily with water, making it possible for the body to absorb it. In this state, an element has specific positive or negative electrical signatures that cause a dynamic equilibrium to take place. The body can then facilitate changes to move water to the areas that need them. Water can directly pass through membranes of the cell in response to changes in ion concentration. In other words, water movement is indirectly controlled by pumping sodium and potassium across our cell membranes. It is therefore vital that we have a balanced concentration of these ions in our body-water. They make us osmotically fit.
When we sweat a lot we lose the minerals too, especially the sodium and also some potassium. Sweat is not made up of water alone. One also loses a lot of sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium and magnesium which needs to be replaced.
After prolong exercise or after losing large amounts of water in sweat, it is dangerous downing large quantities of water alone, it may jeopardize the electrolyte balance of the body making one feel bloated and nauseated. In fact, athletes who lose huge amounts of sweat are advised not to drink just water; they must have water and electrolytes. Drinking huge amounts of plain water after massive sweat loss leads to electrolyte imbalance. The brain is very sensitive to this and it may try and take in large amounts of water in to compensate for the electrolyte deficiency. In many a case this has lead to brain swelling and even death. We have heard about fit marathon runners dropping dead.
What is the right drink after excessive sweat loss?
A sport-drink that contains minerals and very little sugar is the best; it is thousand times better than cool colas, soft drinks, and even fruit juices that contain too much sugar. It quenches our thrust and it also replenishes the mineral loss, keeping up the body-water movement and hydrating our cells. If sports drinks are not available one can make it at home.
Take a liter of water, add a pinch of salt, only two spoons of sugar (it will not taste too sweet, it must not) and fresh lime juice (from two limes to provide enough potassium)
The small amount of sugar and minerals help water absorption in the guts. It is because they are actively transported across our guts into the body by carrier proteins, water just piggybacks. Avoid sugary soft drinks because they have an opposite effect. Coconut water is good too – but it lacks that bit of sugar that increases the water absorption in the guts.
This summer ask yourself, am I osmotically fit?
