...Vitamin supplements during pregnancy may be a silver bullet for health in developing nations, according to a Harvard study published today in the New England Journal of Medicine. The researchers suggest that distributing multivitamins, such as B-complex, C, and E vitamins, to pregnant women could be a cost-effective way of reducing low infant birth weight, a significant risk factor for infant mortality and other afflictions like heart disease and diabetes. Building on earlier findings of improved birth outcomes for HIV-positive women, the study showed better outcomes for HIV-negative women taking multivitamins as well. The researchers found...
...dying animals who ate only dry food, which typically does not contain wheat gluten, is another reason some authorities question whether melamine is the real culprit. Bruce Friedrich, Vice President of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has urged the FDA to test for excessive levels of vitamin D; last year a manufacturing error led to too much of the vitamin in Royal Canin pet food, causing kidney failure and death in several animals. But Goldstein says excessive vitamin D is unlikely, since blood tests would show high calcium levels, which haven't been found. Says...
...called this 40s singer-actress "the Blitzkrieg blond" for an energy that would make Rachael Ray seem logy by comparison.

Even if conventional foods don't turn out to be as dangerous as organic advocates claim, several recent studies have suggested that organic foods contain higher levels of vitamins than their conventionally grown counterparts. In a paper published in October in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a team from the University of California, Davis, demonstrates that organically grown tomatoes have significantly more vitamin C than conventional tomatoes. Even so, the same study shows no significant differences between conventional and organic bell peppers...
