Consuming milk at breakfast lowers blood glucose throughout the day
A team of scientists found that milk consumed with breakfast cereal reduced postprandial blood glucose concentration compared with water, and high dairy protein concentration reduced postprandial blood glucose concentration compared with normal dairy protein concentration. The high-protein treatment also reduced appetite after the second meal compared with the low-protein equivalent.Chronic malnutrition in children: A new gut microbial signature
"We expected to see an increase in enteropathogenic bacteria such as Campylobacter, Shigella or even Salmonella in the malnourished children," comments Pascale Vonaesch, "but we certainly didn't expect to see oropharyngeal bacteria!" "What also surprised us was the sheer number of these bacteria," adds Philippe Sansonetti. "We had already observed this type of phenomenon for some inflammatory bowel diseases and colon cancer, but never such large-scale migrations. There are 10 to 100 times more bacteria than in the control patients."

Newly identified structure in lymph nodes was 'hiding in plain sight'
The new micro-organ is the place where the immune system 'remembers' diseases it has been vaccinated against. The researchers reveal the existence of thin, flattened structures extending over the surface of lymph nodes in mice. These dynamic structures are not always present: instead, they appear only when needed to fight an infection against which the animal has previously been exposed.
The influence of genetics on nutritional requirements
Different people metabolize food differently depending on their genes.
Chronic inflammation can trigger cancers via newly discovered mechanism
"In many ways, cancers are akin to wounds that never heal," Cho said. "Here we're showing a new mechanism for how inflammation from chronic tissue damage can actually lead to cancer.I have been thinking this for about a decade now.
