`Brain food.`|
Body and mind both benefit from a dietary supplement called choline. Or so say health and nutrition stores and Web sites. They sell drinks, bars, and capsules with claims they'll enhance physical endurance and mental suppleness. http://www.sciencenews.org/articles.../a1082_1186.JPGTo qualify as a good source of choline, according to a new law, product servings must contain at least 55 milligrams, or 10 percent of the daily recommended intake for men. To qualify as excellent, a choline source must contain at least 15 percent of the recommended daily intake. Central Soya Soon, the grocery store may be studded with banner labels extolling products as good, if not excellent, sources of choline. Eggs, red meat, and a variety of fortified foods will probably be among the first to sport such tags. Approved last month, these labeling claims are the first authorized under a new federal law. It permits food manufacturers to identify their products as a rich source of any nutrient that has previously been established to be necessary for good health. Not permitted on those labels, however, is any statement of a specific health benefit. As such, few people would understand the reason for purchasing foods high in choline, a nutrient that remains well below the radar screen of most grocery shoppers. Medical researchers, however, are exploring the effects of choline in various arenas. In fact, for several years there's been clear evidence that lack of choline can harm an individual's liver. But more recent experiments in animals suggest that the compound can have more subtle benefits. A few scientists are, for example, investigating hints that extra choline in the adult diet boosts brainpower. Generating far more excitement is evidence that supplemental choline given to a pregnant female can offer her offspring a wealth of life-long benefits. A growing number of rat studies indicate that choline enrichment in the womb can alter brain development in ways that facilitate learning later in life. |

AN INVESTIGATION has been launched into the health risks of ******, the popular anti-impotence drug, amid concerns that it has caused blindness in up to 50 people. US drugs regulators announced yesterday that they are examining a number of cases in which users have suffered optic neuropathy — known as “stroke in the eye”. Health officials in Britain said last night that they had received reports of six suspected cases of blindness in similar circumstances — when blood flow to the optic nerve is cut off. The condition can lead to irreversible loss of vision. NI_MPU('middle');Since its launch in 1998, ****** has proved a global sensation. More than 23 million men have admitted to using it, and licensed and illegal trade on the internet, which allows men to buy the drug anonymously, accounts for tens of millions more sales. More than $4 billion (£2.2 billion) was cut from the share value of Pfizer, ******’s manufacturer, on Wall Street yesterday as news of the potential problem sparked panic selling. News of the investigation comes after a succession of high-profile drug withdrawals. Officials from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that they were investigating 42 reports of blindness, 38 among users of ****** and four among users of Cialis, one of its leading competitors. Non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (Naion) can occur in men who are diabetic or have heart disease — the same conditions that can cause impotence and lead to ****** use. Susan Cruzan, an FDA spokeswoman, said that the investigation was continuing but that there was no concrete evidence that the drugs were to blame. The FDA was in touch with the manufacturers of Levitra, another drug for erectile dysfunction, in case there was a problem with the entire class of **********. There have been no cases of blindness reported by Levitra users so far. Pfizer said that it was aware of rare cases of blindess in ****** users and that the company was in talks with regulators to change warnings on its label.The company also emphasised that no proof existed that blindness was linked to the drugPfizer holds 68 per cent of the world market in anti-impotence drugs, but faces strong competition from Eli Lilly, which makes Cialis, and Levitra’s manufacturers, Bayer AG and GlaxoSmithKline. An FDA source told The Times that, in some of the cases, users took ****** before going to bed and woke up with little or no vision the next morning. “The patients may be old, they may have other health problems, but it is the time between them taking the drug and losing their vision that is of concern,” the source said. |
