Honey has long been used in folk medicine to treat various conditions. It has antibacterial properties and was widely used in ancient cultures as a wound salve. Doctors are now suggesting that these antimicrobial properties, along with honey's sweet, syrupy nature, may be the reason why it is an effective cough treatment. In a recent study of 105 children with nighttime coughs resulting from colds, researchers found that honey is more effective than the cough medicine dextromethorphan in reducing cough frequency and severity.

Yogurt May Protect Your Mouth
Scientists are now one step closer to understanding why people who frequently eat yogurt have healthier teeth and gums. Previous research has shown that there is a decreased incidence of periodontal disease among those who frequently consume dairy products, but did not identify which products are most beneficial. Now, Japanese researchers are reporting that lactic acid foods like yogurt provide mouths with the greatest protection, while foods like milk and cheese are not associated with better periodontal health. They suggest that the probiotic effect of the lactobacilli found in those foods may hinder the progression of periodontal disease.

Bullfrogs May Hold Key to Fountain of Youth
Researchers in South Korea have announced the successful isolation of an anti-aging substance from the skin of bullfrogs. Alpha-tocopherol, also known as Vitamin E, is widely used in medicines and health supplements, and the peptide’s antioxidant properties have lead to surging demand worldwide. Previously, all known forms of tocopherol existed as oils, but the substance found in the bullfrog skin is water soluble. This means that the bullfrog alpha-tocopherol can be used in many more applications, perhaps even in soft drinks. The newly discovered alpha-tocopherol is also 10% more efficient than other known forms at protecting cells from the damaging effects of oxidation.

Coffee Linked to Women's Heart Health
Experts have varied opinions of coffee and caffeine and the substances’ impact on personal health, but new data seem to indicate that coffee drinking may actually play a role in decreasing mortality. Researchers tracked more than 125,000 participants for 18 to 24 years beginning in the 1980s and concluded that regular coffee consumption, of up to six cups a day, can actually reduce the risk of heart disease-related death. Women who reported drinking 2 to 3 cups a day had a 25 percent lower risk of death from heart disease than those who did not drink coffee, though the same benefit was not observed in men involved in the study.

Studies conducted by the California Dairy Research Foundation and other researchers indicates that some possible probiotic benefits include preventing intestinal diseases, minimizing the symptoms of lactose intolerance and improving immune function. More preliminary studies suggest that probiotics may also reduce the incidence of colon tumors, decrease hypertension and ameliorate allergic reactions.

*The good bacterias in Yogurt are called "Probiotic".
Some yogurts also helped me get less allergic reactions.

Tofu Not So Good for Your Health
Touted as heart-healthy "superfoods" that can lead to overall good health, tofu and other soy-based products are now suspected of triggering some negative health consequences, particularly in relation to memory. Soy products are a major non-meat protein source around the globe, especially in developing countries, however, they are also rich in phytoestrogens, micronutrients that mimic the female hormone estrogen in the body. While there is some evidence that these compounds actually protect the brains of younger and middle-aged people, data from a new study suggest that exposure to large quantities of phytoestrogens may actually increase the risk of dementia.
