UK: HEALTH BENEFITS OF RAW ONION JUICE

Article Abstract:

Researchers from Taiwan have discovered that the juice from raw and freshly squeezed Welsh onions has a range of health benefits, including the reduction of blood pressure and anti-thrombotic effects. Rats fed on onion juice for one month became both anti-thrombotic and anti-hypertensive, with effects starting to set in after only two days. Boiled onions, however, were seen to have no effect. The researchers are now seeking to extend their investigation.

UK: FEEDING AND DEVELOPMENTAL PROBLEMS IN CHILDREN

Article Abstract:

A study into the problem of feeding difficulties and stunted development among young by the Children's Society has found that up to 5% of children aged under five suffer from so-called faltering growth. This is thought to be particularly serious in children between six months and three years, whose development can slow dramatically, while they become vulnerable to infection. The mistaken assumption of illness can also lead to inconclusive medical examinations. Since available treatment is often inadequate, a new campaign offering advice for parents and training for health workers has been launched. No single cause for the problem has been identified, and the Children's Society has begun work on the issue with individual families.
