 | | - Study looks at benefits of organic produce, meats
U.S. researchers reviewed more than 200 studies and found that organic produce and meat generally do not contain more vitamins and nutrients than regular foods do, but they do reduce the risk of exposure to pesticides and antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The report in the Annals of Internal Medicine said many of the studies included in the analysis did not list standards used to classify an "organic" food.

  | | - Dietitian's cookbook offers recipes for a plant-based diet
Registered dietitian and chef Sharon Palmer says she wrote "The Plant-Powered Diet" because research has shown the benefits of plant-based eating for reducing the risks of diabetes and cancer and improving heart health and cognition. While all 75 recipes are vegan dishes, she says people can move toward a plant-based diet by going meatless just once or twice a week. Reuters (9/4) - Cardiologist says wheat protein stimulates the appetite
Cardiologist Dr. William Davis says modern-day wheat is produced with the protein gliadin, which binds to opiate receptors in the brain to stimulate appetite so people consume more calories. He says people who reduce the amount of wheat they eat will lose weight, and he suggests following a real-food diet of avocados, olives, meat and vegetables which are "least likely to have been changed by agribusiness."  CBS News (9/3) - Microgreens pack more nutrition than mature vegetables
Growers have begun to peddle microgreens -- plants that are 14 days old or younger -- touting their massive nutrient content and the vibrant colors they add to dishes. Researchers at the U.S. Department of Agriculture discovered that the leaves of microgreens packed four to six times more nutrients than the leaves of mature adult leaves, making them the latest vegetable craze.

Marathon runners in their 50s had temporary heart effects -- such as increases in blood indicators of heart damage and temporary swelling -- similar to those of younger adults after a race, but they disappeared within a week, according to Canadian researchers.

Meantime, schools also are working to prepare healthier meals for students. "It's a tremendous amount of work," said Connie Little, a board member of the School Nutrition Association of Ohio.
