Researchers found that women who drink milk daily during pregnancy have a lower risk to give birth to children who will develop multiple sclerosis later in life.  The risk is lower in children born to mothers who consume 3-4 glasses of milk per day compared to those born to mothers who only drink a few glasses a month.
The study involved 35,794 nurses whose mothers provided information about their diet during pregnancy. During the study 199 women developed multiple sclerosis. The risk of multiple sclerosis was 56% lower for women whose …

Scientists discovered a drug that taken once a day for six weeks fully cured osteoporosis in some case and stopped it developing in others. So far they tested the drug on animals but believe the treatment could help humans with fragile bones one day.
Currently the drugs used in osteoporosis treatment slow bone loss without having an effect in stimulating new bone. The only drug with this effect is teripartide but it has to be injected. The new found drug called LP533401 has the advantage of being administered orally.
“With tens of …

A new weight loss method might save overweight people a lot of headaches.  Researchers discovered a way to trick the human body into consuming more energy by blocking a single enzyme. In this case they targeted an enzyme referred to as the Fyn kinase that indirectly controls the “energy master switch”.
According to the tests they performed on mice, those that lack the Fyn kinase burned more fatty acids and become leaner. Also they had increased insulin sensitivity.  To chemically inhibit the Fyn kinase the researchers used an experimental drug called …

The Sudden Infant Death Syndrome which affects babies under a year could be caused by a brain anomaly – the serotonin deficit.  Serotonin, a monoamine neurotransmitter, is primarily found in the central nervous systems and in the gastrointestinal tract.
The researchers at Children’s Hospital Boston discovered that babies who died in their sleep had few serotonin receptors in their blood. The anomalies were discovered in the lower part of the brain, in the rachidian bulb.
Serotonin and the way it’s processed in the brain helps coordinate breathing, carbon dioxide sensibility, temperature sensibility, …
