While it was once hoped that supplements of folic acid could help reduce colon cancer, new research has shown that taking more than the minimum daily requirement would be harmful. Simon says other studies underscore the downside to dietary supplements, which are unregulated in the United States. "The most striking example is beta carotene, which we used to be very hopeful about, but actually increases the risk of lung cancer in smokers. Vitamin E increases the risk of second head-neck cancers in people who have been successfully treated for a first malignancy." Read more...

The High Cost of Cereal Is Breaking My Budget

By Amy O'Connor

I expect to get sticker shock at the grocery store these days, what with the price of food up about 6% at the end of this year, compared to last.
But the cost of breakfast cereal has leapt a staggering 12.5%, and our family of three goes through three or four boxes—at around $6 each—a week. I can’t afford this, and I bet you can’t either.
Now in these tough times I expect the price of New Zealand lamb to be soaring (and it is), but I can easily swap red meat for beans and rice several nights a week. But a box of commodity grains that our government is supposed to subsidize? What gives? Read More

Mom's Vitamin D Levels Affect Baby's Dental Health

(HealthDay News) -- Babies born to women with low levels of vitamin D during pregnancy may be at increased risk for tooth enamel defects and early childhood tooth decay, a Canadian study finds.

Researchers at the University of Manitoba analyzed the vitamin D levels of 206 women in their second trimester of pregnancy and found only 21 (10.5 percent) of the women had adequate vitamin D levels. The women's levels of vitamin D were related to the frequency of milk consumption and prenatal vitamin use.

The researchers also examined 135 infants and found that 21.6 percent of them had enamel defects and 33.6 percent had early childhood tooth decay. Mothers of infants with enamel defects had lower, but not significantly different, mean vitamin D concentrations during pregnancy than mothers of infants without enamel defects.

Mothers of infants with early childhood tooth decay had significantly lower vitamin D levels than mothers of cavity-free infants. Infants with enamel defects were significantly more likely to have early childhood tooth decay, the researchers said.

The study, expected to be presented July 4 at the General Session of the International Association for Dental Research, in Toronto, is the first to show that pregnant women's vitamin D levels may affect the dental health of their infants.
