DESCRIPTION: The reason why women who handle hops start menstruating is because of a phytoestrogen that ends up in beer, called 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN).
Check out the thrilling conclusion in my next video: What are the Effects of the Hops Phytoestrogen in Beer? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/what-are-the-effects-of-the-hops-phytoestrogen-in-beer).

DESCRIPTION: Anabolic growth promoting drugs in meat production are by far the most potent hormones found in the food supply.
Isn't that amazing about the DES story? I had no idea it was used in meat production. Check out some of the other Big Pharma on Big Farms: Illegal Drugs in Chicken Feathers (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/illegal-drugs-in-chicken-feathers/).
The most dangerous additive used in the meat industry is antibiotics, though. See, for example:

DESCRIPTION: If one is going to make an evolutionary argument for what a "natural" vitamin D level may be, how about getting vitamin D in the way nature intended: sun instead of supplements?
Yes, we can get some of the benefits of sun exposure without the risks by taking vitamin D supplements, but for the sake of argument, what if such supplements didn't exist? Would the benefits of sun exposure outweigh the risks? That's the subject of the final installment of new latest-on-vitamin-D-science video series, The Risks and Benefits of Sensible Sun Exposure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-risks-and-benefits-of-sensible-sun-exposure).

DESCRIPTION: Why do some recommend thousands of units of supplemental vitamin D when the Institute of Medicine set the recommended daily intake at just 600 to 800 units?
If one is going to make an evolutionary argument for what a "natural" vitamin D level may be, how about getting vitamin D in the way nature intended: sun instead of supplements? That's the subject of my next video, The Best Way to Get Vitamin D: Sun, Supplements, or Salons? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-way-to-get-vitamin-D-sun-supplements-or-salons).

DESCRIPTION: The field of nutrition got human protein requirements spectacularly wrong, leading to a massive recalculation.
The "low" protein level in human breast milk (about 6% of calories) doesn't mean adults only need that much because babies are such voracious suckers. A 15 pound infant can suck 500 calories a day. An adult, ten times heavier—150 pounds, say—doesn't typically consume ten times more food (5,000 calories). So since we weigh ten times more, but may only eat four or five times more, our food needs to be more concentrated in protein, but still people tend to get way more than we need. See my video Do Vegetarians Get Enough Protein? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-vegetarians-get-enough-protein/).
Plant protein sources are preferable (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-protein-preferable/). See, for example:
• Caloric Restriction vs. Animal Protein Restriction (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/caloric-restriction-vs-animal-protein-restriction/)
• Bowel Wars: Hydrogen Sulfide vs. Butyrate (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Bowel-Wars-Hydrogen-Sulfide-vs-Butyrate)
• Protein Source: An Acid Test for Kidney Function (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/protein-source-an-acid-test-for-kidney-function)
What about protein quality, though? Should we try to mix certain foods together at meals? See The Protein Combining Myth (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-protein-combining-myth).

DESCRIPTION: Curcumin-free turmeric, from which the so-called active ingredient has been removed, may be as effective or even more potent.
That's quite a rebut to reductionism. See my recent video on this flawed nutritional philosophy: Reductionism and the Deficiency Mentality (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/reductionism-deficiency-mentality).

DESCRIPTION: Mainstream medicine's permissive attitude towards smoking in the face of overwhelming evidence can be an object lesson for contemporary medical collusion with the food industry.
If the balance of scientific evidence favors plant-based eating, why isn't the medical profession at the forefront of encouraging people to eat healthier? That's the question this video tries to answer. Looking back to smoking in the 1950's, you can see how all of society, the government, and the medical profession itself could be in favor of habits that decades of science had already overwhelmingly condemned as harmful.

DESCRIPTION: Inadequate consumption of prebiotics—the fiber and resistant starch concentrated in unprocessed plant foods—can cause a disease promoting imbalance in our gut microbiome.
This is one of the reasons I recommend three daily servings of legumes (beans, split pea, chickpeas, and lentils) in my Daily Dozen (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/book-trailer-for-how-not-to-die/) checklist.

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/optimal-vinegar-dose and he'll try to answer it!
DESCRIPTION: The consumption of vinegar with meals was used as a folk remedy for diabetes before drugs came along, but it wasn't put to the test until recently.
Are these videos chock full of info or what? This is a consequence of everyone's kind support (https://nutritionfacts.org/donate/), enabling me to hire more than a dozen researchers to help me plow through the literature. I'm embarrassed to even look at some of the videos I did years ago. They're so one-dimensional. I'm so grateful so many of you were able to see the potential and help NutritionFacts.org become what it is today. Onward and upward!
What's that about belly fat being reduced? You must have missed the first video in this vinegar series, Does Apple Cider Vinegar Help with Weight Loss? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-apple-cider-vinegar-help-with-weight-loss)
I then covered Vinegar and Artery Function (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vinegar-and-artery-function) and will end with Optimal Vinegar Dose (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/optimal-vinegar-dose) and Vinegar Mechanisms and Side Effects (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vinegar-mechanisms-and-side-effects).
Did I say reverse diabetes? Reverse heart disease? See, for example, Diabetes Reversal: Is it the Calories or the Food? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vinegar-mechanisms-and-side-effects) and Evidence-Based Medicine or Evidence-Biased? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/evidence-based-medicine-or-evidence-biased/)
Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-vinegar-help-with-blood-sugar-control and he'll try to answer it!
DESCRIPTION: Sprinkling vinegar on greens may augment their ability to improve endothelial function.
This is the second video in my vinegar series. If you missed the previous one, it's here: Does Apple Cider Vinegar Help with Weight Loss? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/does-apple-cider-vinegar-help-with-weight-loss)
Still to come are:
• Vinegar Mechanisms and Side Effects (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vinegar-mechanisms-and-side-effects)
We are only as healthy as our arteries. For more videos on things that may help or hurt, see:

Has anyone been able to find forbidden rice vinegar? Let me know—I'd love to try it! Here's a recent video on how pigmented rice may beat our brown: Brown, Black, Purple and Red Unlike White on Rice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/brown-lack-purple-and-red-unlike-white-on-rice).
Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/vinegar-artery-function and he'll try to answer it!
DESCRIPTION: CT scans confirm daily vinegar consumption can lead to a significant loss of abdominal fat.
I'm so excited to be finally getting to this topic. Type in "vinegar" into pubmed, and 40,000 studies pop up! It took me awhile to take it all in, but I'm so glad I did, as it's something that caused a shift in my own diet. I now try to add various vinegars to my daily diet. The Esselstyn clan plugs a company called Olive Tap, but they seem really expensive.
This is the first of a 5-part video series. Get ready for:

DESCRIPTION: Diabetics suffering from nerve pain for years and then cured within days with a plant-based diet.
What about reversing diabetic vision loss? See: Can Diabetic Retinopathy Be Reversed? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-diabetic-retinopathy-be-reversed)
Just thought trans fats were in partially hydrogenated junk food? See: Trans Fat In Meat And Dairy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/trans-fat-in-meat-and-dairy/). Ideally we'd reduce our intake as low as possible (Trans Fat, Saturated Fat, and Cholesterol: Tolerable Upper Intake of Zero http://nutritionfacts.org/video/trans-fat-saturated-fat-and-cholesterol-tolerable-upper-intake-of-zero/).
The best way to prevent diabetic complications is to prevent the diabetes in the first place:

DESCRIPTION: The three things we can do to lower our sodium intake and two tricks for interpreting nutrition facts labeling on processed foods.
Not eating enough fruit as a leading killer? For more see Inhibiting Platelet Aggregation with Berries (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/inhibiting-platelet-aggregation-with-berries/).
Early videos I did on sodium include:
• Cooking to Live Longer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cooking-to-live-longer/)
• Improving on the Mediterranean Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/improving-on-the-mediterranean-diet/)
But my latest series where I lay out the evidence and dive into the manufactured controversy to expose salt industry shenanigans include:
Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/shaking-salt-habit and he'll try to answer it!
DESCRIPTION: The myth that plant proteins are incomplete, necessitating protein combining, was debunked by the scientific nutrition community decades ago.
Do Vegetarians Get Enough Protein? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/do-vegetarians-get-enough-protein/) is the video in which I cover protein quantity.
Plant Protein [is] Preferable (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plant-protein-preferable/) not just because food is a package deal, but because of less aging enzyme activation (Caloric Restriction vs. Animal Protein Restriction http://nutritionfacts.org/video/caloric-restriction-vs-animal-protein-restriction/), less sulphur containing amino acids (Bowel Wars: Hydrogen Sulfide vs. Butyrate http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Bowel-Wars-Hydrogen-Sulfide-vs-Butyrate) such as methionine (Methionine Restriction as a Life Extension Strategy http://nutritionfacts.org/video/methionine-restriction-as-a-life-extension-strategy/), lower acid-forming capacity in the kidneys (Protein Source: An Acid Test for Kidney Function http://nutritionfacts.org/video/protein-source-an-acid-test-for-kidney-function), less putrefaction in the colon (Putrefying Protein and "Toxifying" Enzymes http://nutritionfacts.org/video/putrefying-protein-and-toxifying-enzymes/) and no inflammatory response (Which Type of Protein is Better for Our Kidneys? http://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-type-of-protein-is-better-for-our-kidneys/). Plant protein also doesn't have the same effect on the cancer promoting growth hormone IGF-1 that I discuss in the cancer section of my Food as Medicine (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-as-medicine) presentation.
Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-protein-combining-myth and he'll try to answer it!
DESCRIPTION: White rice is missing more than just fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Phytonutrients, such as gamma oryzanol, in brown rice may help explain the clinical benefits, and naturally pigmented rice varieties may be even healthier.
Switching from white rice to brown rice enables overweight individuals to significantly reduce their weight, their waist size, their blood pressure, and the level of inflammation within their bodies. That sounds like it deserves a video, no? On its way! Stay tuned for Is it Worth Switching from White Rice to Brown? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-it-worth-switching-from-white-rice-to-brown) (It was actually supposed to go first but I made a mistake and messed up the order).
In the meanwhile, enjoy some other rice videos:
• Alzheimer's Disease: Grain Brain or Meathead? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/alzheimers-disease-grain-brain-or-meathead/)
• If White Rice is Linked to Diabetes, What About China? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/if-white-rice-is-linked-to-diabetes-what-about-china/)
Six years ago I did a video on Arsenic in Rice (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/arsenic-in-rice/). That definitely deserves an update. I'll do another video or series of videos on that as well. Make sure you're subscribed (http://nutritionfacts.org/subscribe/), so you don't miss it.

DESCRIPTION: Eating a plant-based diet, avoiding scented personal care products, and certain children's and adult toys can reduce exposure to hormone disrupting chemicals.
Good for the Danish EPA and the Danish Technological Institute! It's hard for me to imagine a similar study being done with taxpayer money here in the States.

DESCRIPTION: Might the nicotine content in nightshade vegetables—tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and bell peppers—protect against Parkinson's disease?
Benefits of smoking? See the tobacco industry gloat in my previous video: Is Something in Tobacco Protective Against Parkinson's Disease? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Is-something-in-tobacco-protective-against-parkinsons-disease)
Bell peppers may actually be healthiest raw. See Best Cooking Method (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/best-cooking-method/).
And if you eat tomato products, choose whole, crushed, or diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce, purée, or paste. Why? See Inhibiting Platelet Activation with Tomato Seeds (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Inhibiting-Platelet-Activation-with-Tomato-Seeds).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/peppers-and-parkinsons-the-benefits-of-smoking-without-the-risks and he'll try to answer it!
DESCRIPTION: The tobacco industry points to dozens of studies purporting to show tobacco use is associated with a lower incidence of Parkinson's disease.
Isn't that wild? What if we just eat vegetables in the same family as tobacco; such as bell peppers, eggplant, and tomatoes? Stay tuned for Peppers and Parkinson's: The Benefits of Smoking Without the Risks? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/peppers-and-parkinsons-the-benefits-of-smoking-without-the-risks)
Previous Parkinson's videos include: Preventing Parkinson's Disease With Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-parkinsons-disease-with-diet/) and Treating Parkinson's Disease With Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-parkinsons-disease-with-diet/).
There are other movement disorders for which diet may play a role. See, for example:
Surprised about the potential benefits of coffee. See my last three videos on the topic:
• Preventing Liver Cancer with Coffee? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-liver-cancer-with-coffee/)
• Coffee and Artery Function (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Coffee-and-Artery-Function)
• Coffee and Mortality (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/coffee-and-mortality)
Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Is-Something-in-Tobacco-Protective-Against-Parkinsons-disease and he'll try to answer it!
DESCRIPTION: I recommend all pregnant and breastfeeding women follow the consensus guidelines to get about 200mg of preformed DHA from a pollutant-free source.
No demonstrable clear and consistent benefits? See my last video: Should Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women Take DHA (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pregnant-breastfeeding-women-take-dha).
What about taking long chain omega 3's to protect our heart? See:
• Is Fish Oil Just Snake Oil? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-fi...)
• Omega-3's and the Eskimo Fish Tale (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Omega...)
• Should We Take EPA and DHA Omega-3 For Our Heart? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/shoul...)
I raised concern about the pollutants in seafood during pregnancy in a number of my videos:
• The Wrong Way to Detox (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-w...)
• Hair Testing for Mercury Before Considering Pregnancy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/hair-...)
• Fish Intake Associated With Brain Shrinkage (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fish-...)

• Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NutritionFact...
DESCRIPTION: Does maternal supplementation with the long chain omega 3 fatty acid DHA improve psychomotor, mental, visual or physical development of infants?
So no clear and consistent short or long-term benefit for psychomotor, mental, visual, or physical development with DHA supplementation of pregnant and breast-feeding women. But maybe DHA failed to help women because they were already getting enough, and maybe women with very low intakes would benefit. Find out in my next video: Should Vegan Women Supplement with DHA During Pregnancy (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/should-vegan-women-supplement-with-DHA-during-pregnancy).
Previous videos on the concerns about the pollutants in the aquatic food chain include:

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/video/pregnant-breastfeeding-women-take-dha/ and he'll try to answer it!
DESCRIPTION: Dietary diversity is important because each plant family has a unique combination of phytonutrients that may bind to specific proteins within our body.
This is one of the reasons I developed my Daily Dozen foods to incorporate into one's routine. You can download the iPhone (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dr.-gregers-daily-dozen/id1060700802?mt=8) and Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nutritionfacts.dailydozen&hl=en) apps for free.
I've previously covered how produce variety—not just quality and quantity—may be important in Apples and Oranges: Dietary Diversity (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/apples-and-oranges-dietary-diversity/) and Garden Variety Anti-Inflammation (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/garden-variety-anti-inflammation/).

"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand
One More Non-Tragedy
Submitted by Bradley Keyes on Fri, 2012-12-28 01:00
Not reported by the mainstream media...
"Another crazy gunman opened fire at a movie theater this weekend, this time as a crowd of happy filmgoers exited the building. Police think the shooter was angry at his girlfriend, who worked at a restaurant next door. The incident took place Sunday night at the Mayan Palace Theaters in San Antonio.
Why isn't this tragic event hitting the national press? Because it didn't end tragically."

AbstractThe Navy is interested in innovative ways to detect and track corrosion between metallic surfaces in magnesium housings. Many of the corrosion inspection methods currently employed in the field to inspect magnesium housings involve disassembling the components and performing a visual inspection. Apart from being time-consuming, labor intensive, cumbersome and unreliable these inspections often lead to damage of the protective coating covering the surface during disassembly. In addition, the corrosion areas of interest are located in close proximity to the aircraft flight controls and the gearbox mounting and hence a good monitoring system is critical for aircraft safety. In response, Acellent is proposing to use its SMART Layer technology to develop a corrosion inspection system to detect and track corrosion between metallic surfaces to within 5 mils depth and to locate the areas of corrosion to within 1 inch accuracy. This handheld Corrosion Detection system will consist of a Hybrid SMART layer network with piezoelectric sensors for corrosion detection and pressure sensors to detect pressure changes between the metal layers. The system will be developed and tested for resilience against changing stresses, corrosive environments and fretting movement. Several alternative sensors configurations and technologies to detect bolt preloads are also considered.

Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12 videos show off Augusta and San Antonio courses
Following Tuesday's announcement of Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters, EA Sports has released a couple new trailers for the golf game featuring the Augusta National course, and the TPC San Antonio course.
Each one is posted below, courtesy of Game Front.
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 12: The Masters will hit retail in North America on March 29 and worldwide on April 1 for Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 with Move support. The later will include five additional courses via the PS3-exclusive Collector's Edition.
Woods himself is not starring on the cover, as he is instead silhouetted so-to-speak, driving the ball in middle of the cover art. The change in the cover scheme by EA Sports is due to The Master's being such a hallowed course, and its inclusion in a videogame being a historical first for the franchise.
Sometimes we include links to online retail stores. If you click on one and make a purchase we may receive a small commission. For more information, go here.
