New research suggests that a higher dietary intake of long chain omega-3 fatty acids in childhood may reduce the risk of developing subsequent asthma, but only in children carrying a common gene variant. The study, led by Queen Mary University of London, is in collaboration with the University of Bristol and University of Southampton, UK, and Karolinska Institutet, Sweden.
In the UK, 1.1 million children (1 in 11) are currently receiving treatment for asthma and most adult asthma begins in childhood. The NHS spends around £1 billion a year treating and caring for people with asthma.
Senior author, Professor Seif Shaheen from Queen Mary University of London, said: Asthma is the most common chronic condition in childhood and we currently don t know how to prevent it. It is possible that a poor diet may increase the risk of developing asthma, but until now most studies have taken snap-shots , measuring diet and asthma over a short period of time. Instead, we measured diet

Yves here. Aside from Bill Gates’ unsavory role in defending the right of Big Pharma to rake in profits at the expense of the public during a massive public health crisis, there is also the wee problem of determining what selling a vaccine at cost would amount to. As a client put it, pointing to a conference room chair, “What does that chair cost? I can make it cost whatever I want to.”
Specifically, big companies have considerable latitude as to the costs and overheads they allocate to products and businesses (that’s one reason they regularly have to call in McKinsey, the internal practices so distort the real economics that they need to hire a consultant to untangle the mess). Many years back, a colleague had been in the executive office of Bristol Myers when it owned Clairol. She described that hair color was so profitable (you make it for pennies a box and sell it for dollars a box) that Bristol Myers allocated every overhead expense it conceivably could, to boost the re

Children who carry a certain gene could halve their risk of asthma by eating oily fish, according to a new study.
By eating at least two portions of fish a week, many kids can reduce their likelihood of developing asthma by 50 per cent, between the ages of 11 and 14.
However, the study only demonstrates that this is likely to occur in children who carry a version of the fatty acid desaturase (FADS) gene. Just over half the population is thought to carry the relevant variant gene, meaning the findings could have widespread implications.
