Eating Nuts, Popcorn Not Linked With Higher Risk Of Diverticulosis

� Contrary to a common testimonial to keep off eating popcorn, nuts and corn to prevent diverticular complications, a large prospective study of men indicates that the consumption of these foods does non increase the risk of diverticulosis or diverticular complications, according to a study in the August 27 issue of JAMA.

Diverticular disease is a common and dear digestive disorder in Western countries. One-third of the U.S. universe will evolve diverticulosis by the long time of 60 years and two-thirds will do so by the age of 85 eld, according to background info in the article. Historically, physicians make advised individuals with diverticular disease to avoid feeding nuts, corn, seeds and popcorn, even though on that point is small evidence to support this recommendation. The authors publish that the potential health benefits of nut expenditure paired with the large number of individuals with diverticulosis makes it seasonable and important to study this long-held belief.

Lisa L. Strate, M.D., M.P.H., of the University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, and colleagues examined the association between crank, corn, and popcorn phthisis and diverticular disease in a large study mathematical group (The Health Professionals Follow-up Study), a group of men followed up from 1986 to 2004 via self-administered questionnaires about medical (once every two days) and dietary (every 4 years) information. Twenty-seven percent of participants reported eating nuts at least twice per week, and corn and zea mays everta each were consumed at least twice a week by 15 percent of the participants.

The study included 47,228 manpower age 40 to 75 years wHO at baseline were free of diverticulosis or its complications, cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease. During 18 years of follow-up, at that place were 801 new cases of diverticulitis and 383 new cases of diverticular bleeding.

The researchers found that nut, corn, and popcorn white plague was not associated with an increased risk of new diverticulitis or diverticular complications, merely instead inverse relationships were observed betwixt nut and popcorn white plague and the risk of diverticulitis. After adjustment for other known and potentiality risk factors for diverticular complications, hands with the highest inlet of fruity (at least twice per week) had a 20 percent turn down risk of diverticulitis compared with workforce with the lowest intake (less than once per month); manpower with the highest ingestion of popcorn had a 28 percentage lower risk of diverticulitis compared with men with the last-place intake. No association was seen between corn expenditure and diverticulitis, and for diverticular hemorrhage, there were no significant associations discovered for en, corn, or popcorn use of goods and services.

"In decision, our results suggest that nut, corn, and popcorn consumption is not associated with an increased hazard of incident diverticulitis or diverticular haemorrhage and may be protective for the former. These findings refute the permeative but unproven belief that these foods are associated with diverticular complications and suggest that the recommendation to ward off these foods in diverticular disease should be reconsidered," the authors write.

Caught Live: Elbow in London

THERE aren't many bands worth giving the Champions League final the elbow to
see.

But last night, I joined a crowd of music lovers doing just that to watch Guy
Garvey and Co perform a rare acoustic set.

Flanked by two violinists, the band played a one-hour gig at London's Hospital
Club to a small audience of just 100.

It felt brief but was very much a case of quality rather than quantity.

Elbow's music translates perfectly to a small setting without losing any of
its clout.

Latest single Grounds For Divorce took on a completely new character, with
Garvey on harmonica throughout.

While older songs such as Fugitive Motel sounded fantastic stripped back too,
with the husky frontman's voice filling the room.

It was a real treat for the competition winners who had gathered for the show,
organised by music mag Q.
And an evening well worth missing some kickabout in Moscow for.
