主要是記述在我學我的身體時得到的一些拉七拉雜的資料,不過我想可能不是對我自己有用而已,所以有一些我會多多少少地改成中文化。all the news may be the important informations so i would translate to short notes here. [2010.05.29]

Those who exercise when young have stronger bones when they grow old

ScienceDaily (2010-07-15) -- The positive effects of exercise while growing up seem to last longer than previously believed. New findings suggest that physical activity when young increases bone density and size, which may mean a reduced risk of osteoporosis later in life.

與母乳相關的文章

與母乳相關的文章還有下列數則:


1. Anxious Parents Misdiagnose Milk Formula Intolerance

ScienceDaily (2009-06-19) -- Some parents may be unnecessarily switching infant milk formulas for their healthy infants. A new study found that many parents misinterpret common baby behaviors as milk intolerance and needlessly switch formulas without consulting a health professional.

2. New Insights On Link Between Early Consumption Of Cows' Milk And Type-1 Diabetes

ScienceDaily (2008-05-07) -- Researchers in Maine report a new explanation for the mysterious link between consumption of cows' milk protein in infant formula early in life and an increased risk of later developing Type-1 diabetes. A protein in cow's milk that triggers an unusual immune response appears to be the main culprit, they say.


3. Animal Protein Allergies Explained

ScienceDaily (2007-10-16) -- New research explains why more people are allergic to cow's milk than horse's milk. The relatedness of an animal food protein to a human protein determines whether it can cause allergy, according to new research. In theory all proteins have the potential to become allergens, but the study found that in practice the ability of animal food proteins to act as allergens depends on their evolutionary distance from a human equivalent.


4. New Evidence On Benefits Of Breast Feeding

ScienceDaily (2008-08-12) -- Researchers have identified proteins in human breast-milk -- not present in cow's milk -- that may fight disease by helping remove bacteria, viruses and other dangerous pathogen's from an infant's gastrointestinal tract. 


5. Why is breast milk best? It's all in the genes

ScienceDaily (2010-05-13) -- The ability to track which genes are operating in an infant's intestine has allowed scientists to compare the early development of breast-fed and formula-fed babies. For the first time, researchers can see that breast milk induces genetic pathways that are quite different from those in formula-fed infants.

Early exposure to milk protein from cows increases allergy resistance later in life, study finds

ScienceDaily (2010-07-14) -- A researcher in Israel has found that babies who are fed cow milk protein early, in the form of infant formula, seem to be protected from developing an allergy to the same protein later in life.

Many doctors suggest that whole cow's milk be avoided in the early months of an infant's feeding. Lactation specialists go even further, counseling "mother's milk only" until baby starts eating solid food. But new research from Tel Aviv University says that mothers who feed their babies cow's milk in the first 15 days of life may be protecting their children from dangerous allergies later on.

說法頗極端。前者以晚點餵(能吃固態食物時),或者根本只承認母奶,但是忒拉維夫的研究者卻認為出生15日內餵食牛奶可避免日後的過敏問題。

Key mechanism links virgin olive oil to protection against breast cancer

ScienceDaily (2010-06-30) -- Researchers in Spain have discovered a key mechanism by which virgin olive oil, in contrast to other vegetable oils, protects the body against breast cancer.

UAB 研究者已經將乳腺癌腫瘤細胞中,因virgin橄欖油活化的大量的訊號于以解密,並有以下結論:
橄欖油的好處有:oncogene p21Ras 活性降低、改變蛋白質訊號的路徑、腫瘤細胞死亡之刺激,以及避免DNA捐傷。

ScienceDaily (Aug. 14, 2007) — Among cooking oils, olive oil is touted as one of the healthiest. Olive oil contains monounsaturated fat, which can lower total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL or “bad”) cholesterol in the blood.

New Anti-cancer Components Of Extra-virgin Olive Oil Revealed (地中海食物,橄欖油裡的抗癌物)

ScienceDaily (2008-12-27) -- Good quality extra-virgin olive oil contains health-relevant chemicals, 'phytochemicals', that can trigger cancer cell death. New research sheds more light on the suspected association between olive oil-rich Mediterranean diets and reductions in breast cancer risk.

Smoking is dumb: Young men who smoke have lower IQs, study finds

ScienceDaily (2010-04-02) -- A new study has determined that young men who smoke are likely to have lower IQs than their nonsmoking peers.

Secondhand smoke associated with psychiatric distress, illness

Breast milk transmits drugs and medicines to the baby

ScienceDaily (2010-06-24) -- Give up smoking, do not drink more than three cups of coffee per day, do not take any kind of drug, or if you do, take it as long as possible before feeding your baby. These are some of the recommendations contained in a study produced by researchers on methods for detecting medicines and drugs in breast milk. The study shows that the risk from substances such as alcohol is still not well understood.

一樣的問題,只能見步行步,無法有效解決資訊太快太多的狀況。

2010.07.06
這個部落格已經進行收集文章/報導 約有二個月了吧,但是在六月底積了近千則無法及時閱讀的新聞,在七月之前我便刪了,而從七月開始重新收(古溝閱讀器累積)也有近二百條了。

想說以不同的方式,就是有空再做,就是在有空時,就讀取記錄可以讀的,但每次都再增加類似的條目~~~

第一個遇到的問題是分類的問題。某個關鍵字只表達一個主題,但是一篇文章卻可能有多個相關的tags,如果不是一篇篇地讀,那麼結果我只是再讓自己陷入另一個大海而已。

再看看了。

實在趕不上文章的出現速度,而我亦越來越少時間可以做這些事了,所以採用一個方式,我需要計畫。雖然計畫很多,不過我還是嚐試著改善工作效率吧。計畫在哪裡?等著吧。
