| National pride brings happiness, but what you're proud of matters Posted: 09 Dec 2011 02:19 PM PST Research shows that feeling good about your country also makes you feel good about your own life -- and many people take that as good news.

| Scientists discover anti-inflammatory polyphenols in apple peels Posted: 30 Nov 2011 07:04 AM PST Here's another reason why "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." New research shows oral ingestion of apple polyphenols suppresses T cell activation to prevent colitis in mice. This study is the first demonstrating a role for T cells in polyphenol-mediated protection against autoimmune disease possibly leading to treatments for people with disorders from bowel inflammation, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease and colitis-associated colorectal cancer.  |
