Calories can help us lose weight if ... We burn more calories than we take in. "It doesn't matter when you eat them; your body uses the calories from ice cream in the same way, whether you eat at 10 p.m. or 10 a.m. But if you deliberately eat lightly during the day to have a good dinner, then hunger often gets out of control and you overeat," said Susan Roberts, director of the Energy Metabolism Laboratory at Tufts University's Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging. "Pacing calories is an important component of successful dieting.
The summer blueberry season is here for the tasting. The U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council, reporting on the bumper crop, says that blueberries are grown in 38 states - they're one of three fruits considered native to North America (the others are cranberries and Concord grapes). Researchers continue to register evidence of blueberries' value as disease fighters, whether they're fresh, frozen, canned or dried. From the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging in Boston, for example, Ronald Prior has reported on the high antioxidant levels of blueberries, and James Joseph has found evidence of the benefits of blueberries in brain function.

When talking to people who are trying to lose weight, I often come across the "dieter's paradox": They "hardly eat anything," but they still don't lose weight. This seems to be one of our biggest problems - we never believe we're eating anything. It's been reported in the New England Journal of Medicine that people attempting to lose weight tend to underestimate the amount they eat by as much as 47 percent and to overestimate their physical activity by as much as 51 percent. When scientists at the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Maryland asked 98 men and women how much they ate in a 24- hour period, they found that six out of seven women underreported by an average of 621 calories, and six out of 10 men underreported by an average of 5...

Almonds are the new broccoli. The tree nut has cancer-fighting antioxidants in levels comparable to those of broccoli and the much- ballyhooed green tea says a study to be released tomorrow by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University. A fistful of the blanched variety found at weddings or upon a poached Dover sole will not do the trick, though. Researchers say the almond's brown skin contains much of the beneficial catechin, epicatechin and kaempferol three powerful flavonoids, or antioxidant compounds, that protect cells from damage and inflammation, and ultimately cancer, heart disease and stroke.
If you want to retain clear vision into old age, eat eggs. Turns out that egg yolks contain loads of lutein, a yellow pigment metabolized by the human body into vitamin A. S. Department of Agriculture researchers stationed at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston, Mass., have discovered that humans absorb eye- healthy lutein from eggs more efficiently than any other dietary source of the pigment.
BOSTON, Nov. 5, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A class of compounds that interferes with cell signaling pathways may provide a new approach to cancer treatment, according to a study published online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) Early Edition. The compounds, called PITs (non- phosphoinositide PIP3 inhibitors), limited tumor growth in mice by inducing cell death. PITs cause cells to self-destruct by interfering with the signaling pathways that regulate cell survival. As compounds that promote cell death, PITs show promise in halting the harmful, unwanted growth characteristic of cancer," said senior author Alexei Degterev, PhD, assistant professor in the biochemistry department at Tufts University School of Medicine (TUSM) and member of the bio...
