REPORTS
36 CARNOSINE, CATARACTS, AND VISUAL CLARITY
A new study shows
oral
carnosine
can preserve normal
structure
of proteins in the
lens
of the
eye.
Additionally,
lubricating
eye drops
stabilized with
N-acetylcarnosine
can improve visual performance of affected eyes.
46 OLIVE OIL MARKEDLY EXTENDS HUMAN LIFESPAN
Extra virgin olive oil
lowers risk of stroke, coronary heart
disease, and Alzheimer’s while boosting bone health. In a
long-term clinical study, those who ingested the most
olive
oil-derived polyphenols
lived
9.5 years longer
(after age 65).
59 RESEARCH UPDATE: MILK THISTLE MAY PROTECT AGAINST
SECOND-HAND CIGARETTE SMOKE
According to the Centers for Disease Control, there is no
acceptable safe level of exposure to
second-hand smoke.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is often caused
by second-hand smoke.
Milk thistle
extracts may help protect
against
COPD.
66 CoQ10 REDUCES HEART FAILURE DEATHS
Coenzyme Q10
works with conventional medications to
improve cardiac function in
heart failure
patients.
76 GOVERNMENT-DRIVEN OPIOID EPIDEMIC
Today’s
opioid
crisis was caused by the pharmaceutical industry
colluding with government agencies and
Congress
to downplay
addiction
risks.
ON THE COVER
26 ROLE OF BIFIDOBACTERIA
IN LONG-TERM HEALTH
With age, beneficial
bacteria
in the gut decline to just
5%
of
youthful levels. The impact is
reduced protection against
allergies, infections, respiratory
disorders, and anxiety. New stud-
ies at
UCLA School of Medicine
show that a novel
prebiotic
boosts beneficial flora and re-
duces harmful intestinal bacteria.

7 AS WE SEE IT: FDA FUELED
OPIOID EPIDEMIC
New reports reveal
300,000
Americans have died of overdoses
since the
FDA
approved semi-
synthetic opioid drugs like
OxyContin®. Find out the FDA’s
insidious role in approving these
addicting drugs for routine pain
relief and better ways to address
inflammation and pain signals
received by the brain.
19 IN THE NEWS
Experts promote insurance for
alternative pain treatments; AMPK
enhances LDL benefits; opioid
overdose antidote cost soars; olive
oil boosts memory; vitamin D
inhibits breast cancer; and supple-
ments provide cancer defense.
85 ASK THE DOCTOR: SCOTT FOGLE
Dr. Scott Fogle explains helpful lab tests that
assess health issues related to the stress and
overeating of the holidays—from insulin
resistance and blood-sugar tests to those for
cortisol, thyroid function, and more.
91 SUPER FOODS: AVOCADOS
Avocados’
high fiber content and monoun-
saturated fats power its ability to promote
beneficial gut bacteria, blunt blood-sugar
spikes, lower inflammation, improve choles-
terol profile, and enhance nutrient absorption.
95 PROFILE: HOW SHARING WEALTH CREATES
PLANETARY HEALTH
Bert Ball, founder of an environmentally
focused organization that donates $180 mil-
lion in goods and materials to 5,000 nonprofit
organizations and schools, thrives on his
healthy lifestyle and supplement program.
