Purple Fruits May Stave off Diseases

Eating purple-coloured fruit such as blueberries could help ward off Alzheimers, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinsons, media reports said. The foods said to be act by soaking up harmful iron compounds.

This theory is based on a scientific paper that looked at the chemical and biological actions of iron and chemicals that bind to it. The author summarises a body of evidence that suggests that a form of iron may play a role in many different diseases, also providing a number of simple predictions of how this might theoretically occur.

Crucially, this paper only presents a theory, and we do not yet know if the theory is true. Foods that might react with iron, such as blueberries, are also only mentioned in passing in this paper. Stronger evidence is needed to see whether iron plays a role in the development of diseases such as Alzheimers disease. If so this could be followed by studies looking at how food might intervene in the actions of iron.

Turmeric provides effective cure for liver disease

A rapid increase in liver diseases is being observed all over the world including Pakistan but a recent research has revealed that turmeric is highly effective in curing all liver diseases.
The chemical, curcurmin, is contained in turmeric, a plant used by the Chinese to make traditional medicines for thousands of years. The recent study has highlighted its potential in countering an increasingly common kind of fatty liver disease called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). High levels of blood leptin, glucose and insulin are commonly found in human patients with obesity and type 2 diabetes, which might contribute to NASH-associated liver fibrosis. The researchers found that among other activities, curcumin eliminated the effects of leptin on activating hepatic stellate cells, which short-circuited the development of liver damage.
