		<description><![CDATA[A smaller plate won’t help you eat less, says a new study that challenges a widely held belief.
“Smaller plates are often recommended as a way of controlling intake, but that simply isn’t an effective strategy,” senior researcher Meena Shah, a professor of kinesiology at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, said in a news release. “There was no plate size, weight status, or plate size by weight status effect on meal energy intake.”
The study included 10 overweight or obese women and 10 normal weight women who were randomly assigned to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Women who eat about three servings of fish per week have a somewhat lower chance of having polyps found during a routine colonoscopy than women who eat just one serving every two weeks, according to a new study.
The research doesn&#8217;t prove that seafood protects against polyps, but it &#8220;does increase our confidence that something real is going on,&#8221; said Dr. Edward Giovannucci, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, who was not involved in this study.
A polyp, also called an adenoma, is a mushroom-shaped tag of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Vitamins and minerals are essential to any diet, and research suggests they may help prevent cancer and heart disease, not to mention other health problems. But reality check: Many studies have been conducted on vitamin-containing food, but not necessarily supplements.
In fact, if you eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fortified food, you&#8217;re probably getting all you need. But supplements do offer an easy, just-in-case form of health insurance.
Do you need them? Here&#8217;s a quick guide to beneficial nutrients and what they can do for you.

		<description><![CDATA[While the percentage of obese children in the United States tripled between the early 1970s and the late 2000s, a new study suggests that &#8211; at least for middle school students &#8211; weight gain has nothing to do with the candy, soda, chips, and other junk food they can purchase at school.
&#8220;We were really surprised by that result and, in fact, we held back from publishing our study for roughly two years because we kept looking for a connection that just wasn&#8217;t there,&#8221; said Jennifer Van Hook, a Professor of ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A study by Italian researchers shows that the more people are informed by newspapers, television and the Internet, the more they stick to the Mediterranean diet, the healthiest eating pattern in the world
It is time to leave behind the belief that mass media are always a source of bad habits. Television, newspaper and the Internet, when used to get information, may turn out to be of help for health.
It is the conclusion of a study conducted by the Research Laboratories at the Fondazione di Ricerca e Cura &#8220;Giovanni Paolo II&#8221; ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Coca-Cola Co. admitted that they alerted the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about low levels of fungicide in its orange juice products. The alert caused juice prices to rise and brought about the need for the government to test for the fungicidal residue, ABC News reports.
Coca-Cola, which makes the Minute Maid and Simply Orange brands of juice notified the FDA about low levels of the fungicide carbendazim in theirs and their competitor’s orange juice products.
Currently carbendazim is not approved for use on citrus in the United States, but it ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to packing on body fat, how many calories you eat seems to count more than where those calories come from &#8212; lots of protein, or very little.
Researchers found that people who ate high-calorie diets all gained about the same amount of fat. Those whose diets were low in protein gained less weight overall than people on high- and moderate-protein diets, but that&#8217;s because the low-protein group also lost muscle.
&#8220;Huge swings in protein intake do not result in huge swings in body fat gain,&#8221; said Dr. James Levine, ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a study published in the January 4 issue of JAMA, researchers assessed 25 healthy individuals who were randomized to different levels of overconsumption on protein diets whilst living in a controlled setting. They found that those who consumed the low-protein diet gained less weight compared with those eating normal and high protein diets. Furthermore, they established that calories alone and not protein seemed to contribute to increases in body fat and that protein did contribute to changes in energy expenditure and lean body mass.
According to background information in the ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A new study shows that eating a diet high in certain vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids improves brain function.
Older people who ate this diet were found to have less brain shrinkage, which is linked to Alzheimer’s disease. The participants also had higher scores on mental acuity tests than participants who ate a diet high in trans fats, which are found in packaged baked goods and fast foods like crackers and potato chips.
Recent studies have shown that a heart healthy diet is good for brain function, but this study was different ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Scientists from the University of Valencia in Spain have analysed fresh orange juice squeezed by machines in catering establishments. They have confirmed that 43% of samples exceeded the acceptable enterobacteriaceae levels laid down by legislation. The researchers recommend that oranges are handled correctly, that juicers are washed properly and that the orange juice is served immediately rather than being stored in metal jugs.
Around 40% of the fresh orange juice consumed in Spain is squeezed in bars and restaurants. According to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Valencia ...]]></description>
