Food as medicine; Oregano and rosemary are packed with healthful compounds and lab tests show they could work in the same way as prescription anti-diabetic meds, as reported by scientists in the ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
More concerns about acrylamide which potentially increases the risk of developing cancer for all age groups. It is produced by the same chemical reaction which browns food.
New research reports that women who frequently consume fat-free or low-fat milk may delay the progression of osteoarthritis of the knee. Researchers found that women who ate cheese saw an increase in knee OA progression but eating yogurt did not.

It is reported that California has lost up to 30 percent of its beef cow herd this year due to the ongoing drought.
Minnesota's last?? family farm has been sold for a housing development.
The Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute and the SVF Foundation have launched a new collaboration to strengthen rare and endangered livestock breed conservation through the preservation and study of frozen germplasm, cell lines and other biomaterials from rare heritage breeds of food and fiber livestock.
GMO still banned in Tasmania, and China's Ministry of agriculture has decided not to renew biosafety certificates that allowed research groups to grow GM rice and corn.
