Bile acids are synthesized from cholesterol Bile begins its life in the liver and spends a significant amount of time somewhere between the liver, gallbladder, and gastrointestinal tract, specifically the intestines. Liver cells manufacture bile before it undergoes modification in the bile duct epithelium, and then it is transported to the gallbladder for storage and, ultimately, use. Bile acidsContinue reading “Check your bile acid production and stress level for fat metabolism”

Colorectal cancer and gut microbiome
Although genes contribute to colorectal cancer, the gut microbiota are an important player. Accumulating evidence suggests that chronic infection and the ensuing inflammation contributes to tumor initiation and tumor progression. A variety of bacterial species and tumor-promoting virulence mechanisms have been investigated. Significant advances have been made in understanding the composition and functional capabilities ofContinue reading “Colorectal cancer and gut microbiome”

The Human Gut Microbiome as a Screening Tool for Colorectal Cancer
Our results suggest that relative abundance data from the human gut microbiome differentiates individuals with healthy colons from those with adenomas and carcinomas. Most importantly, there was a significant difference in the gut microbiome of people with colonic adenomas compared with those with healthy colons. This has considerable importance in secondary prevention because screening forContinue reading “The Human Gut Microbiome as a Screening Tool for Colorectal Cancer”
Parkinson’s Disease Linked to Gut Microbiome
Summary: A new study reports a link between the deterioration of motor skills in Parkinson’s disease and alterations in the composition of populations of gut bacteria. Source: California Institute of Technology. Caltech scientists have discovered for the first time a functional link between bacteria in the intestines and Parkinson’s disease (PD). The researchers show thatContinue reading “Parkinson’s Disease Linked to Gut Microbiome”
Missing link between gut and brain discovered with big implications for disease
Summary: Researchers have identified immune cells in the membranes around the brain that could be a ‘missing link’ in the gut-brain axis. The immune cells also appear to have a positive impact on recovery following spinal cord injury. Source: University of Virginia. A rare and powerful type of immune cell has been discovered in theContinue reading “Missing link between gut and brain discovered with big implications for disease”

Red onion, red-leaf lettuce, curly kale, orange sweet potatoes have highest anti-obesity potential , boiling reduces the levels of phytochemicals from 50-75%, steaming veggies preserves anti-obesity phytochemicals
veggies Steam cooking resulted in slight increases in concentration of phenolic acids in sweet potatoes. Frying onions in sunflower oil resulted in a reduction of 21% and 15% reduction in levels of quercetin glycosides in boiling onions for only 5mins. Chlorogenic acid levels in re-leafed lettuce were distributed across the colored tissues, containing three timesContinue reading “Red onion, red-leaf lettuce, curly kale, orange sweet potatoes have highest anti-obesity potential , boiling reduces the levels of phytochemicals from 50-75%, steaming veggies preserves anti-obesity phytochemicals”
