Rising Cancer Rates Among Younger Adults: The Role of Diet and Lifestyle

The notion that cancer is predominantly a disease of old age is evolving. Recent analyses indicate that in the G20 group of industrialised nations, cancer rates are increasing more rapidly among younger populations compared to older ones. This trend has been confirmed by scientists at the American Cancer Society (ACS), who found that younger generations, particularly Gen X and Millennials, are more likely to develop certain types of cancer than Baby Boomers[1]. Half of the 34 types of cancer studied...

Lifestyle factors for the prevention and care of people with inflammatory bowel disease

Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) typically featuring chronic diarrhoea (with or without bleeding), abdominal pain, and weight loss. These affect an estimated 3.1 million adults in the USA and another 1.3 million in Europe[1],[2]. Globally, the incidence of IBD is increasing, particularly in newly industrialised countries[3]. These diseases are characterised by chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. However, other symptoms...

The Guts of Health

Our digestive tract is a repository for a multitude of information processing cells, some of which are human and others not. Harbouring a diverse population of organisms in the human gut, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and sometimes parasites, means they interact with each other and with the immune system. In the last few years next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques have revealed that the genes of gut microbes outnumber human genes by ~150- fold and that the gut microbiota displays unique...

Dementia and the Gut

Back in Nov 2020 the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease published a study undertaken in Geneva, that explored the connection between the bacteria and other organisms in the human gut and their possible link to dementia[1]. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG) in Switzerland, together with Italian colleagues from the National Research and Care Centre for Alzheimer's and Psychiatric Diseases Fatebenefratelli in Brescia, University of Naples and the IRCCS...

Artificial Sweeteners Attack Health Via the Microbiome

Oh Boy… the journal Nature has this week (9.10.14) identified the insidious effect of consuming ‘diet’ or non caloric sweeteners on the burgeoning mass of human adipocytes and they have really taken a good run at it.[1] Non-caloric artificial sweeteners (NAS) were introduced over a century ago as means for providing sweet taste to foods without the associated high energy content of caloric sugars. NAS consumption gained much popularity owing to their reduced costs, low caloric intake and perceived...
