Sabinsa's Curcumin C3 Complex(R) Subject of Recent Pancreatic Cancer Study A recent University of Texas – MD Anderson Cancer Center study was published in the peer review American Association for Cancer Research's journal "Clinical Cancer Research" 14.14 (July 2008). Results of an eight-week human, phase II trial of the patented ingredient Curcumin C3 Complex(R) by Sabinsa, indicated orally-ingested curcumin is well-tolerated in pancreatic cancer patients and, despite limited absorption, curcuminoids showed biological efficacy in some patients with pancreatic cancer.

Animal Study Indicates Grape Seed Extract May Reduce Cognitive Decline Associated With Alzheimer’s Disease A compound found in grape seed extract reduces plaque formation and resulting cognitive impairment in an animal model of Alzheimer’s disease, new research shows. The study appears in the June 18 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. The study found that the grape seed extract prevents amyloid beta accumulation in cells, suggesting that it may block the formation of abnormally high molecular weight soluble oligomerized amyloid peptides highly implicated in mechanism associated with deterioration of cognitive functions and eventually dementia in Alzheimer’s disease.

What’s the Price of Heart Disease Prevention? A new study shows the cost of heart disease prevention treatments—including medications to control related health issues and programs to stop smoking and lose weight—could be high. Circulation reports that while these prevention strategies could reduce heart attacks by 63% and stroke by 31%, the current price tag of delivering these strategies will increase overall healthcare costs.

The Panel’s draft opinion provides scientific advice to the European Commission and Member States on how to approach the translation of general nutrient-based recommendations into specific food consumption recommendations, while taking into account the diversity of the European Union population and different countries. The main conclusion of the Panel is that it is not feasible to establish detailed and effective FBDG which could be used at the EU level as diet-related public health priorities may differ between countries. FBDG must also take into account wide disparities in dietary habits, due to cultural differences in eating patterns and the varying availability of food products across Europe. Therefore the NDA Panel decided to focus its opinion on the scientific process underlying the development of FBDG. According to the opinion, eating habits have a significant impact on public health, particularly through the risk of obesity and diet-related chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes. The Panel recommends that Member States analyse country-specific diet-related health problems in order to adapt their food-based dietary guidance to the needs of their population. FBDG should also be tested to ensure their effectiveness and positive impact on overall dietary balance. Specific recommendations for the intake of individual nutrients or substances in food-based terms can help consumers in making healthy dietary choices, and could be the basis for communications on nutrition and diet-related topics to the public. According to the Panel, Food-Based Dietary Guidelines should also be integrated with other policies related to health promotion, for instance the encouragement of daily physical activity. The Panel recommended that Member States take a multidisciplinary approach in developing these guidelines. The early involvement of stakeholders is recommended to promote the acceptance of messages. The open consultation launched today aims to gather any new scientific evidence which could contribute to this work. The consultation will be open until 15 December 2008. The NDA Panel had previously organised a colloquium on the Development of Food-Based Dietary Guidelines (FBDG) in March 2006, when over 60 participants discussed the best scientific approaches for the development of FBDG.
