HOUSTON, Sept. 10, 2008 /PRNewswire/ —
A landmark study at five university-based research centers found that TOZAL(R), a patented combination of antioxidants and micronutrients, enabled patients with “dry” macular degeneration to improve their vision. Patients in the study’s placebo arm, who received the “AREDS-type” nutritional formulation (the current standard of care), continued to lose their eyesight. Results of the TOZAL study are supported by a major new study, which shows that omega-3 acids cut the risk of developing “wet” macular degeneration.
“The TOZAL study demonstrates that treatment with this supplement can help patients Read the rest of this entry »

“Now this is the one nobody really knows about that I think is going
to take the country by storm over the next couple of years. Cupuaçu is
known in the Amazon Rainforest as a ‘pharmacy in a fruit’.
It is similar to the Cacao tree. It has the taste sort of like a cross
between chocolate, passion fruit, and bananas . . . It is really a
phenomenal food . . . Now this stuff, it destroys free radicals and is
so high in antioxidants. This can literally help anything that ails you
– from improving the texture of your skin to cleaning out your GI tract
. . . This is the next great Superfood.”

“Fifteen years ago it was virtually unheard of outside the Amazon, but
now this member of the cocoa family is fast making up for lost time.
Cupuaçu is a smooth, elliptical tangerine-coloured fruit which, for
generations, has been a staple food of rainforest people and animals.
Now it is being “discovered” by the rest of the world. While Amazonians use the fruit’s juice to ease abdominal pains and
help women in labour, it is appearing in the West as an ingredient
in not only medicines, but yogurts, lipsticks, jams, teas, and soaps.”

“The Cupuaçu fruit is about the size of a cantaloupe and is highly
prized for its creamy exotic tasting pulp. Like açaí, Cupuaçu is rich in vitamins, minerals, fats and fatty acids, and is traditionally known for its nutritive, stimulant and tonic properties.”
Fish, Omega-3 Fats and Cancer
Oily fish such as swordfish, atlantic salmon, gemfish and spanish mackerel, are rich sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids are associated with a range of health benefits,
such as lowering the risk of heart disease and relieving inflammatory
conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Experimental studies and some studies in humans suggest that eating more fish and omega-3 fatty acids may protect against cancer. Overall there is limited but suggestive evidence for associations between increased fish consumption and a reduced risk of breast, rectal and prostate cancer.
