Resveratrol - Can it Play a Positive Role in Obesity Treatment?
Most people have heard of resveratrol, the amazing anti-aging supplement so prevalent in the news. Recent research is moving quickly to show us that resveratrol may now play a role in becoming our next anti-obesity drug. We often compare the metabolic effect from restricting calorie intake to be the relative “gold-standard” by which to judge other compounds as we seek for calorie-restriction mimetics. Obviously, calorie-restriction is not a realistic treatment to extend life, so we seek compounds that replicate the biochemical changes that occur during caloric restriction.

It is thought that Indian herbalists practicing Ayurvedic medicine heralded the plant into America.r

Is Evidence Based Medicine In A Crises
It had to happen sometime . . . health professionals don’t agree with the evidence that created guidelines that we are to follow as standards of care. What happened? No one seemed to notice as the American College of Cardiology/American Health Association released, with the blessings of the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, the 2013 guide on Cholesterol, the guide to replace ATP III. Ignored was the fact that guideline ES16 confidently stated that limiting dietary cholesterol did not have sufficient evidence to continue advising individuals to limit it in their food.r
