Bioactive #Quercetin EMIQ VS Standard Quercetin [How is it Better?] Similar to other quercetin supplements, Bioactive Quercetin can reduce allergies. Plus, it can relieve asthma, prevent hives, support heart health and more. However, the Bioactive version contains a more potent compound that absorbs better in the body. Therefore, the bioactivity of quercetin can have a greater impact on our health. In fact, https://lnkd.in/gBQcD4pu #naturalallergysupplement #allergies #naturalallergyrelief #bioactivequercetin

I spent most of my life reacting to dairy - stuffed nose, throat issues, bronchitis. What I didn't know is that modern milk is a VERY different ingredient to what our grandparents drank. Could this be why milk can trigger or worsen health issues for some? And what can you do about it. Here are some of the conclusions I've reached about WHY dairy can be problematic for us when it wasn't for our forbears. 1. Today most cows milk is Homogenised. This process breaks up particles so cream evenly distributes throughout the milk. The process pushes milk through tiny tubules and this breaks milk molecules. Now they are absorbed undigested into your bloodstream. This can now trigger immune reactions such as allergies or (much more commonly) dairy sensitivity. I have recently come to believe this is a BIG factor in the rise of dairy sensitivity. It's in the processing. Now I buy non-homogenised milk with a delicious slick of cream on the top. 2.Today most of our cows milk is high in A1 beta casein. This comes from high-milk-yield breeds e.g. Jersey. A1 beta casein (milk protein) is harder for humans to fully break down (hydrolyse so its hypoallergenic). A2 casein is the main milk protein in lower-milk-yield breeds of cows like Holstein, Friesians. Farmers need to live so naturally there is a preference for high-milk-yield cow breeds. Research links A1 beta casein milk consumption to type I diabetes*, an autoimmune condition developing in childhood. 3.Today, milk is pasteurized. While reducing risk of bacterial infection, pasteurization also makes milk less easy to digest. Whether a food is cooked (e.g. pasteurized) or raw can affect its ability to inappropriately trigger our immune systems to go on the attack. Causing symptoms of sensitivity. Food over-reactivity in humans is ALWAYS present in cases of autoimmunity. For example psoriasis, arthritis, coeliac etc. In short what should we do? I've come to the conclusion that its a good idea to limit milk products and when I DO eat them, focus mainly on as-close-to-nature as I can get. What are these close-to-nature dairy products? Home-made dairy kefir (cheap as chips to make) organic if possible Aged unpasteurized cheeses (bacteria have digested the lactose milk sugar) Cream or pure plant milks (ingredients: just nuts, water and salt) in coffee What else would you like to hear about in this space? Gut/digestive health (including immune system, skin health and autoimmunity) is my area. If you'd like to know about milk, bone health and calcium intake let me know. I reversed osteoporosis without meds or massive calcium supplementation. *Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and cow milk: casein variant consumption.  R B Elliott et al Diabetologia 1999: Mar;42(3):292-6   Padberg et al. The significance of A1 and A2 antibodies against beta-casein in type-1 diabetes mellitus. January 2000 DMW - Deutsche Medizinische Wochenschrift 124(50):1518-21

Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition Voluntarily Recalls Select Batches of Nutramigen Hypoallergenic Infant Formula Powder Because of Possible Health Risk PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Reckitt/Mead Johnson Nutrition (MJN), a producer of nutrition products, announced today that it has voluntarily chosen to recall from the U.S. market select batches of Nutramigen Powder, a specialty infant formula for the dietary management of Cows Milk Allergy (CMA) in 12.6 and 19.8 oz cans, due to a possibility of contamination with Cronobacter sakazakii in product sampled outside the U.S. All product in question went through extensive testing by MJN and tested negative for the bacteria. Cronobacter bacteria can cause severe, life-threatening infections (sepsis) or meningitis (an inflammation of the membranes that protect the brain and spine). Symptoms of sepsis and meningitis may include poor feeding, irritability, temperature changes, jaundice (yellow skin and whites of the eyes), grunting breaths and abnormal movements. Cronobacter infection may also cause bowel damage and may spread through the blood to other parts of the body.

A paper published in the open access journal Molecules MDPI explores royal jelly's anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The research, mentioned in National Geographic, highlights how the yellowish-white, creamy substance secreted in the hypopharyngeal and mandibular glands of worker bees, represents a very important nutraceutical, functional food, and nutritional supplement. Bee byproducts like royal jelly, propolis, and beeswax have been found to offer a wide range of health benefits, including boosting immunity, promoting skin health, and even aiding in wound healing.

Let’s discuss an interesting phenomenon we’ve observed… the very same people who refuse to get vaccinated over fears about safety and effectiveness (despite the fact that we have extensive data demonstrating these endpoints) will take dietary supplements without any hesitation—despite a total lack of regulation and data supporting their safety and effectiveness. This is a perfect example of cognitive dissonance. It is completely understandable (and expected) that people ask questions about the safety of the products they consume! But why don’t people hold supplements to the same standard to which they hold vaccines? According to the Nutrition Business Journal, supplement sales have increased by 81 percent in the past decade. Why are people willing to consume supplements that are largely untested and unregulated? We have two theories: 1) People assume that if a supplement is “all-natural” it is inherently safe but that is not true. (We’ve discussed the “appeal to nature” fallacy at length). A 2013 report from the Government Accountability Office found that from 2008 through 2011, the FDA received 6,307 reports of health problems from dietary supplements, including 92 deaths, hundreds of life-threatening conditions, and more than 1,000 serious injuries or illnesses. The real number of incidents may be far greater. 2) The fact that vaccines are injected (whereas supplements are ingested) makes them seem scarier—but does NOT make them inherently more harmful. Our body has regulated mechanisms to rid foreign substances from our circulation regardless of how they enter. Effects of exposure to any substance are not solely determined by the mode of entry, but also by the dose, duration, and compound. Injection is not “more harmful” because it “bypasses” the skin barrier. Vaccines, composed of weakened, inactivated, or parts of a pathogen, cannot overcome the body’s first line of defense (skin). Therefore, they are injected into muscle tissue to allow for their interaction with the immune cells at second line of defense. So, it’s good that you are asking questions about what is being put in your body! But make sure you hold all substances to the same standards. #unbiasedscipod #WomenInSTEM #sciencecommunication #scicomm #scienceeducation #scienceliteracy #sciencepodcast #podcast #learning #microlearning #immunology #publichealth #microbiology #vaccines #supplements #cognitivedissonance
