   Eating meat enhanced with isotopes could add as much as 10 years to your life. Scientists have shown for the first time that food enriched with natural isotopes builds bodily components that are more resistant to the processes of aging. The concept has been demonstrated in worms and researchers hope that the same concept can help extend human life and reduce the risk of cancer and other diseases of ageing.

   Just as additives help gasoline burn cleaner, a research report published in the January 2008 print issue of The FASEB Journal shows that the food industry could take a similar approach toward reducing health risks associated with fatty foods. These "meal additives" would be based on work of Israeli researchers who discovered that consuming polyphenols (natural compounds in red wine, fruits, and vegetables) simultaneously with high-fat foods may reduce health risks associated with these foods.

   New Kaiser Permanente study, one of largest individual studies of the effects of alcohol on the risk of breast cancer, concludes it makes no difference whether a woman drinks red wine, white wine, beer or hard liquor, it is the alcohol itself (ethyl alcohol) and the quantity consumed that triggers the onset of cancer. The study of 70,033 multi-ethnic women is the first to look at whether alcohol types makes difference on breast cancer.
