Drinking milk regularly 'reduces the risk of coronary heart disease'
Researchers from the University of Reading analysed three large population studies and found that people who regularly drank high amounts of milk had lower levels of both good and bad cholesterol, although their body mass index (BMI) levels were higher than non-milk drinkers.

'Newsweek' reports that neuroscientists have
discovered a link between an individual's
dietary choices and specific brain activity patterns.
According to scientists at Queen's University at Kingston,
connections exist between body mass index (BMI)
and certain brain states necessary to achieve goals. .
The team looked at data from three MRI studies
involving 123 participants making food choices
under a number of different conditions.

Scientists compared the brain activity patterns from
when participants chose food they normally eat, versus
when they were instructed to focus on healthy foods.

'Newsweek' reports that the results offer insight
into how variables are integrated by the brain
and how that impacts dietary control.
The findings suggest that the number of
large-scale brain pattern reconfigurations
necessary to influence behavior may determine
if people struggle to maintain dietary control. .

Other recent studies have also identified
specific areas of the brain that are
associated with dietary regulation.
