Healthy lifestyle triggers genetic changes: study| Health| Reuters: Jun 17, 4:33pm 6 reviews health, genetics
http://www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSTON70483420080617?feedType=RSS&...; Healthy lifestyle triggers genetic changes [ftp] Comprehensive lifestyle changes including a better diet and more exercise can lead not only to a better physique, but also to swift and dramatic changes at the genetic level, U.S. researchers said on Monday. In a small study, the researchers tracked 30 men with low-risk prostate cancer who decided against conventional medical treatment such as surgery and radiation or hormone therapy. The men underwent three months of major lifestyle changes, including eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and soy products, moderate exercise such as walking for half an hour a day, and an hour of daily stress management methods such as meditation. After the three months, the men had changes in activity in about 500 genes -- including 48 that were turned on and 453 genes that were turned off. The activity of disease-preventing genes increased while a number of disease-promoting genes, including those involved in prostate cancer and breast cancer, shut down, according to the study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Cats are our oldest friends | Science | Earth | Telegraph: Mar 12, 4:31pm 12 reviews cats, genetics
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2007/06/29/scicats129.xml; Cats May Be Our Oldest Friends The dog is usually thought of as man's best friend. But a genetic study published today suggests that cats may actually have been a more constant companion of humans over the millennia. Ancestors of domestic cats are now believed to have started living alongside humans any time from about 10,000 to 130,000 years ago. In the case of dogs, an earlier DNA study showed that they originated from east Asian wolves a mere 15,000 years ago.

Synthetic DNA on the Brink of Yielding New Life Forms: Dec 20, 2007 11:47am 5 reviews genetics, science
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/12/16/AR20071216019...; Synthetic DNA on the Brink of Yielding New Life Forms Until fairly recently even the most sophisticated laboratories could make only small snippets of DNA -- an extra gene or two to be inserted into corn plants, for example, to help the plants ward off insects or tolerate drought. Now researchers are poised to cross a dramatic barrier: the creation of life forms driven by completely artificial DNA. Oh dear...so much power in the hands of we clever fools. It's a very dangerous mix.

GM Food Nightmare Unfolding in the Regulatory Sham: Jul 30, 2007 5:11pm 3 reviews health, genetics, science
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/GM_Food_Nightmare_Unfolding.php; GM Food Nightmare Unfolding in Regulatory Sham Regulator agencies like the European Food Safety Authority and the UK Food Standards Agency have been ignoring the precautionary principle, manipulating and corrupting science, sidestepping the law, and helping to promote GMOs in the face of massive public opposition and damning evidence piling up against the safety of GM food and feed These charges are made in a devastating report [1] ( GM Food Nightmare Unfolding and the Regulatory Sham ) released today by the Institute of Science in Society*. The report has been submitted to the European Food Standards Agency, the World Health Organisation/ Food and Agriculture Organisation Expert Consultation on GM Food Animals, and the UK Food Standards Agency, and it has been accepted for publication in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. "The evidence has stacked up to such an extent that our regulators should be answering a charge of criminal negligence at the very least in failing to ban GM crop and continuing with their campaign of denial and disinformation, and worse, helping to promote even more dangerous GM produce from the industry," said Dr. Mae-Wan Ho. Dr Ho is the director of ISIS and lead author of the report co-authored with Joe Cummins , emeritus Professor of Biology at the University of Western Ontario, Canada, and Peter Saunders, emeritus Professor of Mathematics at King's College, London University.
