"Eat breakfast!" nutrition experts have been telling us for decades. It revs your metabolism! It keeps
you from overindulging at lunch! It helps you lose weight!
But a new study suggests the "most important meal of the day" may not be so important - at least for
adults trying to lose weight.
Published Wednesday in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the study found dieters who
skipped breakfast lost just as much weight as dieters who ate breakfast regularly. The researchers
concluded that while breakfast may have several health benefits, weight loss isn't one of them.

Approximately 18% of women are diagnosed with gestational diabetes during pregnancy -
meaning they're up to seven times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later in life.
The good news is that even if you have gestational diabetes, exercise can help.
A new study published this week in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine finds that every two hours
of moderate activity (like walking or gardening) each week reduces a women's risk of developing
type 2 diabetes by 9%. Women who added 2.5Â hours or more of moderate activity to their weekly
regimen reduced their risk for type 2 diabetes by 47%.

Scientists know obese people have an increased risk of getting several types of cancer. But a new
study suggests being obese also increases the chance that some patients' cancers will
come back,  and increases the likelihood that those patients will die from cancer.
The study was released in advance of the 2014 American Society of Clinical Oncology annual
meeting, which begins on May 30.
Researchers looked at 80,000 patients in 70 early breast cancer trials and analyzed their body mass
index, estrogen receptor, menopause status, cancer recurrence and their prognosis.
2. They compared women with higher BMIs (over 30) to those with normal BMIs (20-25) over a 10-year
period. They found for younger, pre-menopausal women who have early breast cancer, obesity
appears to be strongly linked to worse outcomes, including death.

Editor's note: This blog was originally published in June 2013 when the research was presented at
the American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions in Chicago. The final study results were
published Thursday in the journal Diabetologia.
You've probably heard that eating multiple small meals throughout the day is a good way to stave off
hunger and keep your metabolism revved up while trying to lose weight. But a new study could
change your diet strategy.
Eating two large meals early and skipping dinner may lead to more weight loss than eating six
smaller meals throughout the day, the study suggests.
"Both experimental and human studies strongly support the positive effects of intermittent fasting,"
lead study author Dr. Hana Kahleova told CNN in an e-mail.

Foodborne illnesses often found in raw or undercooked shellfish have increased by 75% since 2006-
2008, the CDC says.

You might want to think twice before heading out to your favorite oyster bar.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's annual report card on foodborne
illnesses, vibrio infections - most frequently found in raw or undercooked shellfish - have
increased by 75% since the CDC's previous analysis period, 2006-2008.
That's about 6,600 cases for every 100,000 people - and for every case that is reported, the CDC
estimates there 142 more that aren't diagnosed.
The microbe that causes vibrio is found naturally in coastal saltwater. It only represents 1% of
foodborne illness in the United States, according to the CDC, but that's still 35,000 cases of food
poisoning each year. Vibrio infections are at their highest rate since the CDC started tracking nine
foodborne illness-related microorganisms in 1996, according to the new report. FULL POST

Pregnant women who are obese or overweight have an increased risk of delivering a stillborn baby,
according to a new study published Tuesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Researchers looked at 38 studies to better understand the potential risks to an unborn child in
relation to its mother's body mass index. They found even a modest increase in an obese pregnant
woman's weight is linked to an increased risk of fetal death, stillbirth and infant death.
The highest risk was in women with a BMI over 40 (30 is considered obese). These women were two
to three times more likely to experience complications. Even women with a BMI over 25 (which is
considered overweight) were found to experience increased complications. FULL POST

The decline of childhood obesity rates seen in a couple of recent studies may be nothing more than
an illusion, according to a new study published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics.
The researchers looked at data from more than 26,000 children age 2 to 19 in the United States who
participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. They found that rates of
overweight and obese children have been trending upward since 1999, with significant increases
seen recently in the number of severely obese children.
Severe childhood obesity rates have more than doubled since 1999, according to the study. In 1999-
2000, less than 1% of children fell into the Class 3 obesity category - meaning they had a body mass
index 140% higher than their peers. In 2011-2012, 2.1% of children were in the same category. An
additional 5.9% met the criteria for Class 2 obesity.

No, this isn't an excuse to put down your running shoes. Unless, of course, you're already running
more than 20 miles a week.
Research presented this week at the annual American College of Cardiology Scientific Sessions in
Washington shows runners who average more than 20 miles a week don't live as long as those who
run less than 20 miles a week. In fact, they live, on average, about as long as people who don't run
much at all.
In other words, like most things in life, moderation may be key.

You know the saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away"? Turns out eating one apple isn't
enough. A new study suggests people who eat up to seven servings of fruit and vegetables a day can
cut their risk of premature death by 42% - and that vegetables may be more important than fruit to
your overall health.
The study, conducted by scientists in the United Kingdom, was published online Monday in the
Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
The study
5. Researchers looked at data from more than 65,000 adults over age 35 who participated in the
Healthy Surveys for England study between 2001 and 2008.

Here's a roundup of five medical studies published this week that might give you new insights into
your health. Remember, correlation is not causation - so if a study finds a connection between two
things, it doesn't mean that one causes the other.
Don't diss canned vegetables
American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine
Researchers at Michigan State University analyzed more than 40 scientific journal studies to see if
canned fruits and vegetables provide the same nutritional benefits as fresh and frozen produce. Cans
are often cheaper than fresh or frozen products, and therefore easier for low-income families to buy.
