Antibody cross-reactivity between casein and myelin-associated glycoprotein results in central nervous system demyelination

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS), leading to irreversible deficits in young adults. Its pathophysiology is believed to be influenced by environmental determinants. As far back as the 1990s, it had been suggested that there is a correlation between the consumption of cow’s milk and the… Continue reading Antibody cross-reactivity between casein and myelin-associated glycoprotein results in central nervous system demyelination

The associations of longitudinal changes in consumption of total and types of #dairy products and markers of metabolic risk and #adiposity: findings from the European Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)–Norfolk study, United Kingdom

..For adiposity, an increase in fermented dairy products [yogurt (total or low-fat) or low-fat cheese] consumption was associated with a lower increase in body weight and body mass index (BMI). For example, over 3.7 y, increasing yogurt consumption by 1 serving/d was associated with a smaller increase in body weight by 0.23 kg (95% CI:… Continue reading The associations of longitudinal changes in consumption of total and types of #dairy products and markers of metabolic risk and #adiposity: findings from the European Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)–Norfolk study, United Kingdom

Association between #dairy product consumption and #hyperuricemia in an elderly population with metabolic syndrome

The prevalence of hyperuricemia has increased substantially in recent decades. It has been suggested that it is an independent risk factor for weight gain, hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, metabolic syndrome (#MetS), and cardiovascular disease.. ..Participants in the upper quartile of the consumption of total dairy products (multiadjusted prevalence ratio (PR) = 0.84; 95% CI: 0.75–0.94; P-trend 0.02),… Continue reading Association between #dairy product consumption and #hyperuricemia in an elderly population with metabolic syndrome
