The major study into the health risks of dietary fats failed to find a link between food with saturated fats and a higher risk of death from heart disease, type-2 diabetes or stroke. The industrial trans fats were especially problematic when it came to the risk for coronary heart...

Bhasin, who lead BWH’s research programme in Men’s Health: Aging and Metabolism, and his team recruited 300 males aged above 60 with low testosterone levels ranging between 100 and 400 ng/dL.

While men with low testosterone levels reported improved sex drive, mood and energy levels after they received TRT, the benefits in lowering risks of Michigan and death is only applicable for participants who have normal testosterone levels.

Earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration ordered testosterone replacement therapies to carry warnings on their labels of an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.

Older men whose low testosterone is restored to normal through gels, patches, or injections have a lower risk of heart attack, stroke, or death from any cause, compared to men who are not treated, scientists, including one of Indian-origin, have found.

The researchers found that the rates of subclinical atherosclerosis progression, as measured by changes in common carotid artery intima-media thickness or coronary artery calcium, did not differ significantly between men assigned to the testosterone or placebo groups.

Over the study’s three-year span, men taking testosterone reported no greater sense of well-being, nor better erectile or ejaculatory function, sexual desire or partner intimacy, than did those getting a placebo.

Eating food with highly refined carbohydrates may increase the chances of new-onset depression in post-menopausal women, a new study from psychiatrists at the Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) has found out.

The first of these was men who the treatment restored to normal testosterone levels, those who underwent treatment but did not manage to return to such levels, and men who had no treatment at all. The study was published online August 6, 2015, in the European Heart Journal.

As the level of blood sugar increases, hormonal responses are targeting the lowering of blood sugar levels, whilst also affecting mood. The study found that high dietary GI scores along with the ingestion of added sugars and refined grains not only causes physical complications...

Researchers from Duke University suggested in their study that more than 20 percent of school-aged children are identified as selective eaters, with majority being “moderately picky”.

However, a new study has revealed that picky eating and “selective eating” may be a sign of anxiety and depression in young children, according to The Times of India.

No studies had looked in depth at the longer term effects of selective eating during childhood, so Zucker studied 917 children two to almost six years old who were enrolled in an anxiety study.
