Description: Co-hosts Ryan Piansky, a graduate student and patient advocate living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic asthma, and co-host Holly Knotowicz, a speech-language pathologist living with EoE who serves on APFED's Health Sciences Advisory Council, have a conversation about the latest findings from the EGID Partners Registry.   In this episode, Ryan and Holly discuss with Dr. Elizabeth Jensen two studies drawn from data obtained by EGID Partners Registry questionnaires. One study focuses on extraintestinal pain experienced by patients living with EoE and other eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs). The second study considers vitamin and iron deficiencies reported by patients living with EoE and other EGIDs. Dr. Jensen hints at connected research she would like to pursue next. Listen for more information about extraintestinal pain, vitamin deficiencies, EoE, and EGIDs.   Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is designed to support, not replace the relationship that exists between listeners and their healthcare providers.

Opinions and views of guests and co-hosts are their own.   Key Takeaways: [:58] Ryan Piansky introduces the episode. He and co-host Holly Knotowicz will talk about the latest findings from the EGID Partners Registry.   [1:28] Holly introduces Dr. Elizabeth Jensen, an Associate Professor at the Wake Forest School of Medicine and an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.   [1:58] Dr. Jensen has been working on research related to eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases since she was in graduate school.   [2:11] Dr. Jensen's background is in maternal and child health. She was interested in how early life exposures alter colonization of the gut microbiome and how that can lead to immune dysregulation.   [2:33] Dr. Jensen became interested in EoE and eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases because her family members had been affected by these conditions and researchers knew next to nothing about the pathogenesis of these conditions.   [2:52] Dr. Jensen's early research explored early life exposures that relate to the development of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases.   [3:02] That research paved the way for a variety of ongoing research studies in Denmark, the U.S., and through the Consortium of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disease Researchers (CEGIR).   [3:30] The Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorders (EGID) Partners Registry is a registry of individuals who have been diagnosed with any one of the eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases or multiple ones.   [4:21] The registry is also for individuals who haven't been diagnosed. The EGID Partners Registry gives a voice to individuals who are living with these conditions, in terms of directing where we go with research and asking patient-centered questions.   [4:58] To participate in the registry, go to EGIDPartners.org and register. Once you have registered you will receive a link to a questionnaire. The questionnaire can seem long.   [5:23] After the first questionnaire, the registry sometimes asks for updates to your baseline information and asks new questions that have been suggested by others.   [5:45] The EGID Partners Registry has a Scientific Advisory Committee, and patient advocacy groups, including APFED, physicians, and researchers, who direct where to go with the rich data that has been collected.   [6:07] Some of the questions are specific and asked by registry members with individual interests. Some of the questions are directed by input received by patient advocacy groups.   [6:48] After collecting these data, EGID Partners analyzes them and disseminates them by presenting them at meetings to get information to providers and individuals affected by these conditions.   [7:50] EGID Partners Registry did a study titled “Extraintestinal Symptoms of Pain in Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Diseases” and published a poster on it. They explored joint pain, leg pain, and headaches, to see if they were related to an eosinophilic condition.   [8:29] They studied pain severity and frequency as well as migraines. A high proportion of individuals reported pain. They studied those with EoE only and those with another EGID, including eosinophilic gastritis, eosinophilic enteritis, and eosinophilic colitis.   [9:06] The second group included individuals with or without EoE. In general, patients who have one of these non-EoE EGIDS, with or without EoE, tend to experience more frequent pain and more severe pain.   [9:30] They've also seen that result in looking at other comorbidities. It reinforces the idea that patients who have multi-segmental EGIDs, or one of these lower EGIDS, tend to experience, on average, more severe extraintestinal symptoms.   [10:39] The three areas of pain highlighted on the poster were legs, joints, and headaches. This was based on feedback from patients saying, “This is what we're experiencing, is it something that you could look into?”   [10:48] It doesn't preclude the possibility that there may be other types of extraintestinal manifestations that we should be looking at in the future.   [11:27] This study by the EGID Partners Registry feels very impactful to Dr. Jensen. It brings awareness to some of the challenges that individuals with these conditions are experiencing. Holly points out it's a way for patients to get access to experts.   [12:20] In this study, the EGID Partners Registry also looked at what proportion of individuals were taking either over-the-counter pain management medications or prescription medication. [12:39] About the migraine headache pain, most of it was over-the-counter use, although some reported prescription medication.   [12:54] Ryan grew up experiencing leg pain all the time. He attributed it to his other chronic disorders. It wasn't until some years ago at an APFED conference that he heard a physician mention leg pain. Ryan had never considered it as an EoE symptom. [13:38] One of the challenges the EGID Partners Registry has is that they don't have enough individuals registered to start dividing the sample up further, by age. Roughly two-thirds of the respondents were adults. [14:12] It's also hard to get kids to report accurately what they are experiencing. It often comes down to the caregiver reporting it to the EGID Partners Registry, which brings its challenges.   [14:34] Ryan calls all patients listening to sign up with the EGID Partners Registry to allow the registry to get to some of these deeper questions.   [14:47] Dr. Jensen adds that people often want to understand why these pains are connected to EGIDs. EGID Partners Registry doesn't know why.   [15:02] There are underlying biological processes that could potentially contribute to this observation of the increased prevalence of extraintestinal pain manifestations. In the EGID population, there is the enrichment of connective tissue disorders and more.   [15:36] There is also evidence that there are increased comorbidities associated with a more inflammatory milieu. That could contribute to these extraintestinal manifestations of pain.   [15:55] Dr. Jensen hopes to bring greater awareness to patients and providers, honoring what the patient is experiencing and digging a little deeper to understand what may be going on for this patient.   [16:17] EGID Partners Registry also did a study on vitamin deficiency and supplement use among patients with EGIDs. They looked at those who had been diagnosed with EoE alone and those who had another EGID, with or without EoE.   [16:47] In this study, unlike with the pain manifestation, they didn't see a statistically significant difference between EoE alone and the other EGIDs. There was some higher proportion in those with the lower EGIDs, but it didn't reach statistical significance.   [17:16] They saw a high proportion reporting physician-diagnosed vitamin deficiency, mainly Vitamin D and a few others. That suggests the need to screen patients for vitamin deficiency with a new diagnosis and when monitoring response to therapy.   [18:28] There are reasons why there could be vitamin deficiencies. You may have a restrictive diet or be avoiding certain foods because you know they are going to bother you, or for the lower EGIDs, it may be that you're experiencing malabsorption.   [19:04] Holly plans to send this study to the people she is working with. She will ask them to read it, and then work to get a baseline.   [19:56] A patient could ask for this test from any provider. Dr. Jensen says if it helps them to bring the evidence from these papers, that's great; she hopes this empowers patients when they talk with their providers about the care that makes sense for them.   [20:41] EGID Partners Registry compared those reporting a deficiency between those with EoE alone and those without EoE. Eighty-two percent of those with EoE reported a Vitamin D deficiency. About a fourth of each group reported a B12 deficiency.   [21:27] Iron was another deficiency reported by 55% in the EoE group and 69% in the Non-EoE EGID group. Vitamins D and B12, and Iron were the top deficiencies reported. Many of the respondents reported they were taking vitamins or dietary supplements.    [22:32] Dr. Jensen thinks a nice follow-up study to this would be to learn the proportion of respondents taking vitamin injections or infusions because of malabsorption issues with oral supplements.   [22:37] Dr. Jensen thinks this study likely reflects an under-ascertainment of vitamin deficiency. A lot of patients aren't getting screened. We don't have the data yet because it's not a universal recommendation to screen for vitamin deficiencies.   [23:01] Dr. Jensen thinks awareness and increased screening will be key. Then we can start thinking about how we mitigate this.   [23:24] Patients did not report symptoms of vitamin deficiencies. Dr. Jensen thinks that's another good follow-up question. She stresses that it's important to screen for deficiencies whether or not symptoms of deficiencies are present.   [24:06] Holly considers her patients with various symptoms of vitamin deficiencies and wants to get on the website and ask questions. Dr. Jensen tells her there is a link on the registry site where you can suggest a question. She asks Holly to suggest a question!   [24:30] Patients were asked if they have ever had a vitamin deficiency and were also asked if they currently take vitamins or supplements. A vitamin pill is one type of supplement.   [25:10] The study also looked at the use of a variety of complementary and alternative medicine approaches that patients turn to because they're not getting adequate relief from traditional approaches to addressing their conditions.   [25:34] They saw a higher proportion of individuals with non-EoE EGIDs reporting the use of these kinds of alternative treatment approaches. Roughly a fourth of non-EoE EGID patients reported the use of a chiropractor, vs. 10% of EoE patients.   [26:11] Roughly one-fourth of non-EoE EGID patients reported turning to different herbal approaches in trying to get some relief for their conditions.   [26:49] Dr. Jensen says as a researcher, whenever she does a study, she is led to more questions. All of the research so far has opened the door to many more questions, including questions about individuals who don't have either EoE or another EGID.   [27:20] Dr, Jensen wonders, is this extraintestinal pain unique to those who have EoE and non-EoE EGIDs? How do we best mitigate this? What does the workup look like for the patient coming in with joint pain or leg pain?   [27:37] How can we understand the factors that contribute to this pain? How do we get providers thinking about screening for vitamin deficiencies so we have a better understanding of their prevalence in this patient population?   [28:04] If patients are not absorbing vitamins orally, How do we mitigate this? How do we optimize their nutrition so they are not dealing with vitamin deficiencies which can lead to other consequences down the road?   [28:24] The surprises are always, “What doors are getting opened as a result?” We've answered some questions but there are so many questions that we still need to answer.   [28:56] Ryan asks if a correlation was found in these studies between vitamin deficiencies and extraintestinal pain. He notices that missing his vitamins correlates with more leg pain. Dr. Jensen asks Ryan to go onto the website and pose that question!   [29:10] Dr. Jensen has not looked at the data in that way but she thinks it would be an interesting way to bring these two studies together and try to explain some of what they are observing.   [29:21] Holly thanks Dr. Jensen for sharing her expertise and this fascinating research to help all EGID patients have less painful and better quality lives.   [29:52] Dr. Jensen makes this request. “Please consider checking out the EGID Partners Registry website, joining, learning more about how you can contribute to this research, and introducing questions.”   [30:04] “We're always looking for new questions and are excited to think about how we can partner with patients in addressing questions that matter to them. Help us continue to answer some of these critical questions.”   [30:32] One topic Dr Jensen is interested in researching is the implications for reproductive health for having these conditions. Some research in another data source suggests potential implications.   [30:54] EGID Partners Registry observed and reported this year that there may be some indication of a longer time to pregnancy and a lower proportion of EGID patients experiencing a pregnancy. They want to look at that and understand it better.   [31:12] They want to understand it with more detail than they can get from the administrative data source with the initial questionnaire. EGID Partners Registry is pushing out a reproductive health history questionnaire now.   [31:29] EGID Partners Registry needs individuals to join and respond to the reproductive health questionnaire to help them understand this more deeply and some of the findings they are seeing initially in some of these other data sources.   [31:49] Ryan encourages listeners to learn more about Dr. Jensen's research and EGID Partners Registry by visiting EGIDPartners.org.

Who hasn't heard about stem cell therapies curing disease, organs being grown in petri dishes, and 3D printing of crucial body parts? It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, doesn't it? These new therapies promise to cure diseases and help us live longer, healthier lives.

Hi listeners—in our conversation today, we will be discussing suicide. If you or someone you know needs mental health help, please text STRENGTH to the Crisis Text Line at 741741 or visit crisistextline.org to be connected to a certified crisis counselor. You are not alone. On the morning of Sunday, January 30, 2022, April Simpkins woke to a text from her daughter Cheslie Kryst that read “First, I'm sorry. By the time you get this, I won't be alive anymore, and it makes me even more sad to write this, because I know it will hurt you the most.” That day Cheslie took her own life, and on her Instagram had, just hours before, written a final message: “May this day bring you rest and peace.” Cheslie was Miss USA 2019, made the top 10 at the Miss Universe competition, was a complex civil litigation attorney, a correspondent for Extra and nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards, creator of the blog White Collar Glam, a graduate of the University of South Carolina and Wake Forest School of Law with both a JD and an MBA, beautiful, intelligent, successful. But when you have depression—even high-functioning depression, which Cheslie's mother, April, will explain in this episode—accomplishments don't mean much, and oftentimes all that you can see is your perceived inadequacies. From the outside looking in, Cheslie appeared to have it all, but like with so many, there was inner turmoil beneath the surface. Cheslie said that she had imposter syndrome and a “constant inner voice repeating ‘never enough.'” She wrote it herself in a manuscript, which she left behind at her death, which shares the story of Cheslie's life—the high highs, and the low lows. Her final wish was that her manuscript be published, and this week, on April 23, just over two years after her death, her mother April took the book across the finish line and put it out into the world. The first two-thirds of the book are Cheslie's words; April comes in and finishes the book, allowing readers to meet not just one but two powerful women. That book—the fulfillment of a promise to her daughter—is called By the Time You Read This: The Space Between Cheslie's Smile and Mental Illness—Her Story in Her Own Words, and it is a must-read. I have dealt with suicide in my immediate family, but I have never lost a child. I cannot fathom and I cannot comprehend all that April has gone through in the two-plus years since losing Cheslie. April has turned her pain into purpose, becoming a mental health advocate and launching the Cheslie C. Kryst Foundation, which is being founded in Cheslie's honor. Net proceeds from the book will be used to support the work of this foundation, and that thrills me to no end. Today, April 28, is Cheslie's birthday; she was born on this day 33 years ago. Stay tuned to hear how you can join in on Cheslie's birthday party happening later today—where we can all join together to honor the life of someone who made an enormous difference in this world.   By the Time You Read This: The Space Between Cheslie's Smile and Mental Illness—Her Story in Her Own Words by Cheslie Kryst and April Simpkins   Join the birthday party live on Instagram at 3:30 p.m. EST on Sunday, April 28! April's Instagram handle is @aprils_hr.

Kate Fuss, PA-C, a bariatric provider, shares her experiences in seeing patients long-term in clinic.  She will discuss how very common it is to hear patients mention (typically before surgery- but also after!) that they've lost weight and then regained it. This occurs in a cycle. What typically kicks off this cycle is the re-introduction of old habits sneaking back into one's lifestyle and the lack of consistency in maintaining healthy habits. The power of consistency in long term success after bariatric surgery cannot be understated. Surgery may help you feel full sooner after eating or it may give you food aversions or unpleasant symptoms when you eat or drink the wrong things, but it won't help you with the problem of inconsistency. That's the real work. During this event, we're going to dig our heels in and learn tips and tricks for long term success after bariatric surgery. Bio: Kate Fuss, PA-C is a Surgical Residency trained Physician Assistant from Yale/ Norwalk hospitals in Connecticut. She obtained her Master of Medical Science at Wake Forest School of Medicine in North Carolina. Kate has over 10 years of clinical and operative experience in Bariatrics, General, and Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery. She is additional Board Certified as a Specialist in Obesity and Weight Management.  Her passion lies in serving weight loss surgery patients throughout their entire operative journey via her online After Care Program - Banana Bariatrics. She carries a special interest in serving those struggling with post-operative weight regain and believes in a whole foods nutritional approach for overall health and wellness. When Kate has extra times on her hands, she enjoys pouring it inside Banana Bariatrics, being present with her daughter and husband, and traveling the world with her family to experience new cultures and cuisines.

On Today's Episode - Mark is back, seemingly gone for months (it's really only been a couple of weeks). Chuck says Washington is the capitol of the United States – the only place where you are applauded for lies and pillared for the TRUTH. It is truly amazing, the wealth of lies that are thrown out to the American people these days. Our government understands that division is the easiest way to break this country down and gain control. Mark introduces us to our guest today, the returning Scott Shepard (his bio is below). Scott is here to talk all things ESG. Scott dives right in and pulls back to covers to reveal what ESG is all about. At its core, it is racism to get socialism.

Tiffany Valiante, 18, has graduated high school and is on her way to Mercy College in New York. Standing 6 feet 2 inches tall, Valiante is a star athlete, earning a volleyball scholarship. On July 12, 2015, Valiante left her cousin's graduation party. A few hours later, the family learns Valiante has been struck and killed by a train traveling 80mph in a secluded, wooded area just four miles from her home. The death is ruled a suicide by the medical examiner.  Valiante's family is fighting that ruling over many issues. First and foremost, Valiante had an intense fear of the dark, meaning there was no way she would walk more than four miles in the dark. Her shoes were found more than a mile from her body, yet her feet were clean. A rape kit was not performed on Tiffany's body.  Joining Nancy Grace today: Stephen & Dianne Valiante - Tiffany's Parents; See Change.org Petition Here Paul D'Amato - Trial Lawyer representing the Valiante family (pro bono- the D'Amato Law Firm); Twitter: @DamatoLawFirm Dr. Angela Arnold - Psychiatrist, Atlanta GA; Expert in the Treatment of Pregnant/Postpartum Women, Former Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Obstetrics and Gynecology: Emory University; Former Medical Director of The Psychiatric Ob-Gyn Clinic at Grady Memorial Hospital - Voted My Buckhead's Best Psychiatric Practice of 2022   Jim Brennenstuhl  - Private Detective working with Paul D'Amato and the Valiante family; Owner of Investech  Dr. Donald Jason - Former Atlantic County Medical Examiner and Forensic Pathologist (hired by Paul D'Amato to reexamine aspects of the case); Currently Professor Emeritus of Pathology; Autopsy Service at the Wake Forest School of Medicine Justin Rohrlich - Reporter at The Daily Beast; Twitter: @JustinRohrlich  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Videos: How the US Stole Central America (With Bananas) – Johnny Harris   HEALTH NEWS Black cardamom bioactives effective against lung cancer cells Soybean oil causes more obesity than coconut oil and fructose Why breast-fed premature infants have healthier guts than formula-fed ones Even simple exercise may help aging brain, study hintsSmall daily portion of Jarlsberg cheese may help to stave off bone thinning Body fat can send signals to brain, affecting stress response Black cardamom bioactives effective against lung cancer cells National University of Singapore, August 1, 2022 The main challenges associated with existing lung cancer drugs are severe side effects and drug resistance. There is hence a constant need to explore new molecules for improving the survival rate and quality of life of lung cancer patients. In Indian Ayurvedic medicine, black cardamom has been used in formulations to treat cancer and lung conditions. A team of researchers from the NUS Faculty of Science studied the scientific basis behind this traditional medicinal practice and provided evidence of the cytotoxic effect of black cardamom on lung cancer cells. The research highlighted the spice as a source of potent bioactives, such as cardamonin and alpinetin, which could be used in the treatment or prevention of lung cancer. The study is the first to report the association of black cardamom extract with oxidative stress induction in lung cancer cells, and compare the spice's effects on lung, breast and liver cancer cells. The findings could potentially lead to the discovery of safe and effective new bioactives which can prevent or cure cancer formation. The research was first published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology. Black cardamom is typically used in Asian households in rice preparations, curries and stews either as a whole spice or in powdered form. The spice is also prescribed in Indian Ayurvedic medicine in powder form where it is used for conditions such as cough, lung congestion, pulmonary tuberculosis, and throat diseases.  In the NUS study, black cardamom fruits were powdered and sequentially extracted with five types of solvents, including organic solvents and water. This allowed the researchers to evaluate the best solvents to extract the most potent actives in the fruit. The various types of black cardamom extracts were then tested for their cytotoxicity against several types of cancer cells. These included cancer cells from the lung, liver and breast. Among the three types of cells, lung cancer cells were least likely to survive when tested with the black cardamom extracts. Soybean oil causes more obesity than coconut oil and fructose University of California at Riverside, July 22, 2022 A diet high in soybean oil causes more obesity and diabetes than a diet high in fructose, a sugar commonly found in soda and processed foods, according to a published paper by scientists at the University of California, Riverside. The scientists fed male mice a series of four diets that contained 40 percent fat, similar to what Americans currently consume. In one diet the researchers used coconut oil, which consists primarily of saturated fat. In the second diet about half of the coconut oil was replaced with soybean oil, which contains primarily polyunsaturated fats and is a main ingredient in vegetable oil. That diet corresponded with roughly the amount of soybean oil Americans currently consume. The other two diets had added fructose, comparable to the amount consumed by many Americans. All four diets contained the same number of calories and there was no significant difference in the amount of food eaten by the mice on the diets. Thus, the researchers were able to study the effects of the different oils and fructose in the context of a constant caloric intake. Compared to mice on the high coconut oil diet, mice on the high soybean oil diet showed increased weight gain, larger fat deposits, a fatty liver with signs of injury, diabetes and insulin resistance, all of which are part of the Metabolic Syndrome. Fructose in the diet had less severe metabolic effects than soybean oil although it did cause more negative effects in the kidney and a marked increase in prolapsed rectums, a symptom of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which like obesity is on the rise. The mice on the soybean oil-enriched diet gained almost 25 percent more weight than the mice on the coconut oil diet and 9 percent more weight than those on the fructose-enriched diet. And the mice on the fructose-enriched diet gained 12 percent more weight than those on a coconut oil rich diet. Soybean oil now accounts for 60 percent of edible oil consumed in the United States. That increase in soybean oil consumption mirrors the rise in obesity rates in the United States in recent decades. During the same time, fructose consumption in the United States significantly increased, from about 37 grams per day in 1977 to about 49 grams per day in 2004. The UC Riverside researchers also did a study with corn oil, which induced more obesity than coconut oil but not quite as much as soybean oil. They are currently doing tests with lard and olive oil. They have not tested canola oil or palm oil. Why breast-fed premature infants have healthier guts than formula-fed ones University of Maryland School of Medicine, August 2, 2022 Human breastmilk has long been considered “liquid gold” among clinicians treating premature infants in a newborn intensive care unit (NICU). Breastmilk-fed “preemies” are healthier, on average, than those fed formula. Why is that true, however, has remained a mystery. New research from the University of Maryland School of Medicine's (UMSOM) Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS), found it is not just the content of breastmilkthat makes the difference. It is also the way the babies digest it. The research, led by Bing Ma, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Microbiology and Immunology at UMSOM and a researcher at IGS, discovered a strain of the Bifidobacterium breve bacteria or B. breve in the guts of breastfed babies who received higher volumes of breastmilk than their counterparts. Those preemies had better nutrient absorptionbecause they developed an intact intestinal wall one week after birth. B. breve was much less prevalent in both formula-fed babies and breastfed babies with “leaky gut.” Babies with leaky gut do not develop a barrier to protect against bacteria and digested food from getting into the bloodstream. For the first time, the team also found that the way B. breve metabolizes breastmilk keeps breastfed babies healthier and allows them to gain weight by strengthening their underdeveloped intestinal barrier. An immature or “leaky” gut can lead to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), which is the third leading cause of newborn death in United States and worldwide. In fact, NEC impacts up to 10 percent of premature babies with a devastating mortality rate as high as 50 percent. At the most basic level, the gut microbiome in these breastfed preemies with more B. breve metabolizes carbohydrates differently than it does formula. The researchers say they hypothesize that this process of metabolism then strengthens and matures the intestinal barrier faster, protecting fragile newborns from disease. Even simple exercise may help aging brain, study hints Wake Forest School of Medicine, August 1, 2022 New research hints that even a simple exercise routine just might help older Americans with mild memory problems. Researchers recruited about 300 sedentary older adults with hard-to-spot memory changes called mild cognitive impairment or MCI—a condition that's sometimes, but not always, a precursor to Alzheimer's. Half were assigned aerobic exercises and the rest stretching-and-balance moves that only modestly raised their heart rate. After a year, cognitive testing showed overall neither group had worsened, said lead researcher Laura Baker, a neuroscientist at Wake Forest School of Medicine. Nor did brain scans show the shrinkage that accompanies worsening memory problems, she said. By comparison, similar MCI patients in another long-term study of brain health—but without exercise—experienced significant cognitive decline over a year. But the results suggest “this is doable for everybody”—not just seniors healthy enough to work up a hard sweat, said Baker, who presented the data Tuesday at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference. “Exercise needs to be part of the prevention strategies” for at-risk seniors. Small daily portion of Jarlsberg cheese may help to stave off bone thinning Norwegian Research Council, August 2, 2022 A small (57 g) daily portion of Jarlsberg cheese may help to stave off bone thinning (osteopenia/osteoporosis) without boosting harmful low density cholesterol, suggest the results of a small comparative clinical trial, published in the open access journal BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health. The effects seem to be specific to this type of cheese, the findings indicate. Jarlsberg is a mild and semi-soft, nutty-flavored cheese made from cow's milk, with regular holes. It originates from Jarlsberg in eastern Norway. Previous research indicates that it may help boost levels of osteocalcin, a hormone that is associated with strong bones and teeth, but it's not clear if this effect is specific to Jarlsberg or any type of cheese. In a bid to find out, the researchers studied 66 healthy women (average age 33; average BMI of 24) who were randomly allocated to adding either a daily 57 g portion of Jarlsberg (41) or 50 g of Camembert cheese (25) to their diet for 6 weeks.  At the end of this period, the group eating Camembert was switched to Jarlsberg for another six weeks.  Jarlsberg and Camembert have similar fat and protein contents, but unlike Camembert, Jarlsberg is rich in vitamin K2, also known as menaquinone (MK), of which there are several varieties. Every six weeks blood samples were taken from all the participants to check for key proteins, osteocalcin, and a peptide (PINP) involved in bone turnover. Vitamin K2 and blood fat levels were also measured. Blood sample analysis showed that the key biochemical markers of bone turnover, including osteocalcin, and vitamin K2 increased significantly after 6 weeks in the Jarlsberg group.  Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)—-the amount of glucose stuck in red blood cells—fell significantly (by 3%) in the Jarlsberg group, while it rose sharply (by 2%) in those eating Camembert. But after switching to Jarlsberg HbA1c fell significantly in this group too. Calcium and magnesium fell significantly in the Jarlsberg group but remained unchanged in the Camembert group. After switching cheese, calcium levels dropped in this group too, possibly reflecting increased uptake of these key minerals in bone formation, say the researchers.  “Daily Jarlsberg cheese consumption has a positive effect on osteocalcin, other [markers of bone turnover], glycated hemoglobin and lipids,” write the researchers, concluding that the effects are specific to this cheese. Body fat can send signals to brain, affecting stress response University of Florida, July 23, 2022 The brain's effect on other parts of the body has been well established. Now, a group that includes two University of Florida researchers has found that it's a two-way street: Body fat can send a signal that affects the way the brain deals with stress and metabolism. While the exact nature of those signals remains a mystery, researchers say simply knowing such a pathway exists and learning more about it could help break a vicious cycle: Stress causes a desire to eat more, which can lead to obesity. And too much extra fat can impair the body's ability to send a signal to the brain to shut off the stress response. The findings are important and unique because they show that it's not simply the brain that drives the way the body responds to stress, said James Herman, Ph.D., a co-author of the paper and a professor in the department of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience at the University of Cincinnati,. “It moved our understanding of stress control to include other parts of the body. Before this, everyone thought that the regulation of stress was mainly due to the brain. It's not just in the brain. This study suggests that stress regulation occurs on a much larger scale, including body systems controlling metabolism, such as fat,” Herman said. Researchers found that a glucocorticoid receptor in fat tissue can affect the way the brain controls stress and metabolism. Initially, such signals from the receptor can be lifesavers, directing the brain to regulate its energy balance and influencing stress responses in a beneficial way.
