    During the Thursday afternoon press conference at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J., Trump highlighted Harris’s role in higher inflation over the almost four years that she’s been in the White House. He delivered the remarks while standing in front of two tables of groceries, including cereal, deli meat, milk, eggs, bread, and other perishables. “You don’t have to imagine what a Kamala Harris presidency would be because you are living through that nightmare right now,” Trump said. Harris is expected to unveil a proposed ban on “price gouging” for food and groceries, with a particular emphasis on rising meat...

    Cows in California have tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and are now in quarantine, according to the state's Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). California hosts a fifth of the nation's dairy cows, and it is the number one producer of milk, butter, and ice cream, and the number two producer of cheese and yogurt in the US. The current infections of HPAI among cattle in the US started in March, when a 'mysterious' illness broke out among dairy cows in Texas...These cows were the first in the world to officially test positive for the bird flu...

    This is a long video about the discovery of and research into a newly discovered essential fatty acid, C15, aka pentadecanoic acid. Very quick synopsis (by me, so may have reflect misunderstanding, lack of attention, etc.): first noticed Navy dolphins having 1 type of health problem; studied hard; found low levels of C15. Research showed this causes weakening of cell linings (and a bunch of technical stuff about mitochondria and so on), end result: this weakening of cell walls causes premature aging due to death of cells. Notice: more and more and more children now have Type 2 diabetes, which...

    A new study suggests it doesn't take long for a diet free of animal products to slow biological aging rates, with the heart, liver, and hormonal and inflammatory systems all benefitting from the temporary change. Led by a team from the Stanford University School of Medicine, the study analyzed the rate of DNA methylation; a kind of reversible genetic modification which is often used as an indicator of how quickly the body is wearing out. Among a group of 21 pairs of identical twins, one of each pair adhered to a vegan diet over the course of eight weeks, while...

    Researchers at UCSF and UC Davis discovered a hormone, named Maternal Brain Hormone (CCN3), which maintains bone strength in breastfeeding women despite calcium loss. This hormone could potentially treat osteoporosis and aid in healing fractures across different demographics. The study emphasizes the importance of including female subjects in biomedical research to uncover gender-specific biological processes. UCSF and UC Davis researchers identified a new hormone, CCN3, that strengthens bones in breastfeeding women and could treat osteoporosis and enhance fracture healing. Researchers from UCSF and UC Davis have resolved a longstanding mystery about how breastfeeding women maintain strong bones despite losing calcium...

    Horses were domesticated at least twice, researchers report June 6 in Nature. Genetic data suggest Botai hunter-gatherers in Central Asia may have been the first to domesticate the animals for milk and meat around 5,000 years ago. That attempt didn't stick. But other people living north of the Caucasian Mountains domesticated horses for transportation about 4,200 years ago, the researchers found.Those latter horses took the equine world by storm. In just a few centuries, they replaced their wild cousins and became the modern domestic horse...ancient people from southwest Asia known as the Yamnaya have been credited with being the first...

    Few things are as refreshing—or nutritious—on a warm summer day as a tall glass of cold milk. With essential nutrients like calcium, potassium and vitamin A, plus protein to help build and repair muscle tissue, milk is a great choice for many active people. Even more exciting are the foods made from milk: a slice of cheese temptingly melted over a grilled hamburger or a dish of ice cream providing the perfect summer dessert. No wonder the dairy industry chose June as the perfect month to celebrate dairy foods and the family dairy farms that produce them. What Is National...

    Bird flu has been detected in 'very high concentrations' in milk, health officials announced. The World Health Organization (WHO) said Friday that bird flu, also known as H5N1, has been found in raw milk, which is milk that does not go through standard pasteurization processes to rid it of bacteria. Officials said that pasteurized milk, which is standard in major retailers, is still safe. Bird flu has surged in cows and chickens throughout the US, with animals in 29 farms across eight states becoming affected, according to the CDC. Last week, Dr Darin Detwiler, former FDA and USDA food safety...

    A recent statement from the World Health Organization (WHO) is sure to ruffle a few feathers. The international health group expressed “great concern” over the rising number of bird flu cases in humans. The organization also announced Friday that the virus has been found in raw milk. Dr. Jeremy Farrar, chief scientist at the WHO, noted that the avian flu, also called H5N1, had an “extremely high” mortality rate among those who had been infected around the world. “The great concern, of course, is that … [the] virus now evolves and develops the ability to infect humans. And then critically,...

    Amos Miller, an Amish farmer in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, will be allowed to sell his raw milk products out-of-state following a ruling this week by Lancaster County Judge Thomas Sponaugle. Attorney and podcast host Robert Barnes, who represents Miller in the case, labeled the decision a “major win” for the farmer. “Court agreed to modify injunction so that it only applies within the state of Pennsylvania removing the ban on sales to customers outside state,” he wrote, thanking Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for their support. ...........

  • Protein found in milk speeds up wound healing, study shows (Casein = 6X better healing speed over normal bandages)

    08/01/2023 9:02:43 PM PDT · by ConservativeMind · 22 replies
    Bandages infused with casein, a protein that occurs naturally in cow's milk, significantly improved wound healing in rats compared to those in control groups, according to a study. The study is the first to test casein's reputed healing benefits on an animal model. The promising results suggest that casein, which is cheap, abundant and has antimicrobial properties, has potential to replace expensive materials such as silver in wound dressings. Casein is a protein found in the milk of mammals and is most abundant in cow's milk, where it makes up to 80% of the substance. In the last decade, interest...

    The plant-based milk industry is booming, and new milks seem to be cropping up everywhere — from the old standbys of almond milk and oat milk, to newfangled pistachio milk and cashew milk. The options are endless. But few of these alternatives compare to cow's milk in terms of nutrition, according to data presented on July 24 at the American Society for Nutrition Conference in Boston. The data has not yet been published. "I thought going into this that the manufacturers would have been looking at cow's milk and trying to match it with these products," Dr. Abigail Johnson, who...

    However, many school districts and parents argue that giving children the option to drink flavored milk is a way to get them the much-needed health benefits that they would miss if they don’t like regular milk. In a statement to the Wall Street Journal, Urban School Food Alliance executive director Katie Wilson criticized the proposal, arguing that the Agriculture Department is considering taking a product that is widely enjoyed by students and includes “nine essential nutrients” and telling them they will have to “drink plain” milk instead. “What are they trying to prove,” Wilson added.
