Trouble with Green Tea By RealAge

Did you know that most of the free-radical fighters in green tea never make
it to your bloodstream? But there's a solution.
To get a better grasp on the healthy catechins in your green tea, flavor
your cup with a squeeze of citrus juice.
Green Tea Booster
Catechins -- the antioxidants in green tea famous for lowering your risk of
chronic disease -- quickly lose their power in your intestine. In fact, as
much as 80% of the catechins in green tea are never absorbed. The solution
to boosting absorption, researchers recently found, is as simple as
flavoring your tea with freshly squeezed and strained lemon, orange, lime,
or grapefruit juice.
Taking Tea with C
The vitamin C in citrus may help with absorption by increasing the acidity
in your small intestine. Other unidentified substances in the juice probably
lend a hand, too. Researchers found a 50-50 mix had the greatest
catechin-preserving effect, and lemon did it best, closely followed by
orange, lime, and, in last place, grapefruit.
It's Not All Bad News
If you do take steps to boost the power of your green tea, you may even get
a few added benefits.
It may help you lose weight. At least one study shows green tea can
stimulate moderate weight loss.
It may help keep your knees young and strong -- catechins fight inflammation
and arthritis.
It can help your skin look great if used in conjunction with an antioxidant
cream. Dab it on.
It can help you stay sharp -- try 2 cups a day to see benefits.

RealAge Benefit: Getting the right amount of antioxidants through diet or
supplements can make your RealAge 6 years younger.

Germany Bans GMO Corn

Germany Bans GMO Corn - source- Spiegel Online April 14, 2009


Germany has banned the cultivation of GM corn, arguing that the corn breed MON
810 is dangerous for the environment. But that argument might not stand up in
court, and Germany could face fines totaling millions of euros if Monsanto
decides to challenge the prohibition.

Under the new regulations,
the cultivation of MON 810, a GM corn produced by Monsanto, will be prohibited
in Germany. A clause in EU law allows individual countries to impose such bans.
Environmental groups welcomed the ban, pointing out that numerous scientific
studies demonstrated GM corn was a danger to the
environment.

However, it may be hard to prove conclusively that MON
810 damages the environment, which could enable Monsanto to win a court case
opposing the ban. Monsanto has said that it would look as quickly as possible
into whether it would begin legal proceedings.

MON 810 had been the
only GM crop that could be grown in Germany. The plant produces a toxin to fight
off a certain pest, the larvae of the corn borer moth. MON 810 is already banned
in five other EU member states: Austria, Hungary, Greece, France and Luxembourg.

Dr. Mercola Comments
Germany has now become the sixth country in the European Union to take a stand
against GM corn -- a wise move that unfortunately the United States has yet to
do.

Whereas close to 9,000 acres slated to be planted with MON 810
corn in Germany will now be GM-free (assuming the ban stands up in court if
necessary), the acres to be planted with GM corn in the U.S. is in the tens of
millions.

German Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner announced she was
banning not only the cultivation of GM corn but also the sale of its seeds,
saying she had "legitimate reasons to believe that MON 810 posed a danger to the
environment."

Simple Tea Creates Nano Gold Particles for Fighting Cancer
by David Gutierrez, staff writer

(NaturalNews) Scientists have discovered a way to create cancer-fighting
nanoparticles using nothing but gold salts and a cup of Darjeeling tea,
according to a paper published in the Journal of Materials Chemistry.

Nanoparticles are particles much smaller than those commonly used in
chemical or industrial applications, small enough that they can pass through
cell membranes designed to keep foreign particles out. Because even widely
studied elements and compounds act drastically different on the nano scale,
nanotechnology is a burgeoning area of scientific research.

Most nanoparticles are manufactured during intensive industrial processes
involving toxic chemicals and byproducts. Recently, however, researchers at
the University of Missouri-Columbia discovered a process for producing
nanoparticles by adding gold salts to a soybean-water mixture. Naturally
occurring soy phytochemicals interact with the salts to produce stable gold
nanoparticles, with no toxic byproducts.

"Our new process only takes what nature has made available to us and uses
that to produce a technology that has already proven to have far-reaching
impacts in technology and medicine," researcher Kattesh Katti said.

Researchers then repeated the same procedure with Darjeeling tea instead of
soy, and found that once again, phytochemicals naturally found in the tea
transformed the salts into pure, nano-scale particles of gold. Furthermore,
the phytochemicals bind to the outside of the gold particles. This means
that the microscopic particles could be injected into tumor cells, carrying
cancer-fighting tea compounds directly to where they could provide the most
benefit.

"Throughout history, tea drinking has been directly attributed to a plethora
of health benefits," Katti said. "Our discovery has provided a practical way
to deliver cancer-fighting phytochemicals directly to tumor cells through
gold nanoparticles."

The researchers selected gold for their research because it is very stable,
chemically, and therefore is less likely to lead to side effects in the body
They said that the production process they have pioneered could easily be
replicated on a larger scale.
