May Top Reads of 2012 is up on my main webpage. The main theme-the power of food as medicine for changing our disease risk! Here’s a kick starter on the importance of nurture on our nature by Dr. Hyman:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In fact food contains not just calories but more importantly food contains information that controls dozens of hormones, thousands of genes and tens of thousands of protein networks that control everything from your appetite to the rate of fat burning or storage to cholesterol synthesis and more.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The food industry has created secret combinations of sugar, fat and salt in junk food that trigger biological addiction – which is why you “can’t just eat one” potato chip, but you can easily just eat one serving of broccoli. Who binges on asparagus? But almost everyone has eaten a whole bag of cookies.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The quality of the food you eat is critically important, independent of the calories. Eating junk will put on junk around your middle – even if it is invisible. We call the fat inside your belly “VAT” or visceral adipose tissue.<\/div>\n
And even if you are normal weight, as was the case for many of these children in the study, you can have pre-diabetes or diabetes. You become a skinny fat person.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A surgeon friend of mine recently told me that even in people of normal weight, he found belly’s full of fat – caked around their colon, liver, kidneys, and draped over all their organs. This is caused by our industrial diet full of high fructose corn syrup, added sugars, trans-fats, flour and processed food.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The average American eats 29 pounds of French fries, 23 pounds of pizza, 24 pounds of ice cream and consumes 53 gallons of soda, 24 pounds of artificial sweeteners, 2.736 pounds of salt and 90,700 mg of caffeine per year. Do we really think we can create health in that toxic environment?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
That is why we need to “unjunk” our food, and particularly our children’s food. Yes, it is horrible that in less than a decade we have gone from one in ten kids to almost one in four kids with pre-diabetes or diabetes. Even the skinny kids are affected because of the toxic industrial food-like substances that provide too much energy and not enough good information.<\/div>\n
But here’s the problem. We don’t have a coordinated national effort, nor do our elected officials have the political willpower to buck the food industry lobby and protect our children.<\/div>\n

HEADLINE: The Safety of Drugs Needs to Be Re-evaluated<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The government and Institute of Medicine is becoming aware of the public safety concern regarding the increase use of prescription drugs and resultant higher number of interactions with potentially deadly effects. The fact is, drugs aren’t as safe and as tested as we may think.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Institute of Medicine Reports:<\/div>\n
Date: May 1, 2012<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Creation of a Central Management Plan for Every New Drug Needed to Strengthen FDA’s Oversight of Approved Drugs’ Safety<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
WASHINGTON — Although the approval of a new drug is based on evidence that its benefits outweigh its risks, the full range of a medication’s effects may not become apparent until a product has been used by a larger, more diverse population over an extended period of time. Problems associated with the anti-diabetes drug Avandia, pain reliever Vioxx, and cholesterol-reducing drug Crestor illustrate the challenges and underscore the need for a more systematic and transparent process to collect, assess, and act on data about a medication’s benefit-risk profile throughout its entire “life cycle” from approval until it is no longer marketed, says a new report by the Institute of Medicine.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to recent estimates, nearly half of all Americans take at least one prescription drug daily and many older people use five or more, noted the committee that wrote the report. The report’s recommendations build on the new authorities and tools provided to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration through the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, which increased the agency’s capacity to monitor drugs after approval and act if signs of safety problems appear.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
One of the committee’s key recommendations is that FDA should create a benefit and risk assessment and management plan for each drug. This would be a single, comprehensive, publicly available document that serves as a central repository of information for each product from its approval throughout its entire time on the market. The document should include a description of any safety questions that exist when a drug is approved or that emerge over the course of the product’s use, as well as benefit and risk assessments specific to these questions. It should also include details on regulatory actions taken on the medication, such as restrictions on its use or the decision to require further research, as well as the results of these actions. Much of this information is already being gathered by FDA, but it is currently scattered across multiple records. Putting the information into an accessible format in a single document would make FDA’s commitment to the life-cycle approach concrete and improve its transparency by giving the public easier access to useful data.<\/div>\n

Children with Autism are They Being Led Down the Wrong Road?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As with the obesity epidemic and children suffering from our poor quality food, children are also suffering with our poor quality health care. One of the biggest concerns with the trend in treating symptoms and not getting to the root cause is the increase in disorders with no known “cure” of symptoms. For children, the rise in autism is an example where medications are one option, but not without risk. Dr. Mercola explains:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Up to one-third of autistic children are prescribed antidepressant drugs to treat repetitive behaviors, but their benefits have been greatly overstated.<\/div>\n
A new analysis reviewed data from five published, and one unpublished, trials and found a strong suggestion of publication bias – so strong that it could no longer be concluded that antidepressants are effective in children with autism<\/div>\n
Drug companies publish only a fraction of the studies they fund — the ones that promote their drugs. If a study does not have findings that are favorable to its product, it is unlikely it will ever make it into a journal for publication and they are under absolutely no mandate to disclose that to the public.<\/div>\n
In order for independent researchers to be able to confirm or refute a drug’s safety and\/or effectiveness, they need access to the same raw data and clinical study reports made available to regulators – but this data is often kept secret by drug companies<\/div>\n
Oftentimes drugs are released to the market or prescribed for conditions without being proven safe or effective – and this includes antidepressants for children with autism<\/div>\n
So it’s not a surprise that the new analysis, published in the journal Pediatrics, found 10 randomized, controlled clinical trials of antidepressants for autism, but only five of them had been published. Of those, three showed a small benefit, while two showed none, which collectively would suggest the antidepressants may only have a modest benefit in some patients.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However, upon analyzing the data with a series of standard statistical tests that check for consistency and reliability in research data, they found a strong suggestion of publication bias – so strong that it could no longer be concluded that antidepressants are effective in children with autism. The researchers tried to get the data from the 5 unpublished studies, but only one of the authors provided results, which showed no benefit for the antidepressants.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The researchers noted:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“There was significant evidence of publication bias in all analyses. When Duval and Tweedie’s trim and fill method was used to adjust for the effect of publication bias, there was no longer a significant benefit of SRI [antidepressants] for the treatment of repetitive behaviors in ASD [autism spectrum disorders].”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Just a few examples of the types of information uncovered about Tamiflu when researchers gained access to full clinical study reports, as opposed to published trial data, include:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Vital details of trials (content and toxicity profile of placebos, mode of action of drug, description and timing of adverse events)<\/div>\n
Rationale for alternatively classifying outcomes such as pneumonia as a complication or an adverse event<\/div>\n
Ability to know whether key subgroup analysis (influenza-infected subjects) is valid<\/div>\n
Realization that serious adverse events (SAEs) occurred in trials for which SAEs were not reported in published papers<\/div>\n

And…On the lighter side of food and health….<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Yogurt, Mice, and Libido!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The gut-brain is an important factor to finding one cause of ASD. Here’s an article that explores the lighter side of gut-psychology syndrome.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Food is not only about preventing or curing disease, but can affect our quality of life. Recently, Dr. Mercola wrote an entertaining article linking yogurt and libido!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mice fed probiotic-rich yogurt developed a sexy swagger when they walked, which was due to them developing heavier testicles<\/div>\n
Male mice fed probiotics also inseminated their partners faster and had more offspring, whereas female yogurt-eating mice gave birth to larger litters and were more likely to raise their pups successfully<\/div>\n
The probiotic-rich diet also impacted the mice fur, leaving it shinier and silkier, with 10 times the active follicle density compared to the other mice<\/div>\n
In humans, probiotics are linked to healthy weight loss, healthier offspring and perhaps also better semen quality in men, along with numerous other health benefits<\/div>\n
o There’s obviously much more to being sexy than the number on the scale, but weight loss is often one of the first steps that comes to mind when most people think about being “sexier.” Restoring your gut flora should be an important consideration if you’re struggling to lose weight, as the make-up of gut bacteria tends to differ in lean versus obese people. This is one of the most compelling areas of probiotic research to date, and you can read about a handful of such studies here. For instance, obese individuals may have about 20 percent more of a family of bacteria known as Firmicutes, and almost 90 percent less of a bacteria called Bacteroidetes than lean people. Firmicutes help your body to extract calories from complex sugars and deposit those calories in fat. When these microbes were transplanted into normal-weight mice, those mice started to accumulate twice as much fat.ii So this is one explanation for how the microflora in your gut may play a key role in weight management.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Eating plenty of unpasteurized fermented foods and\/or taking a high-quality probiotic supplement, along with consuming a healthy low-sugar diet, can help you optimize your probiotic intake and nourish your gut flora<\/div>\n
