Indian Breed Cow Vs. European Breed

There are two types of cows. The European breed and the Indian breed. European breed has A1 beta–casein protein. Indian breed has A2 beta–casein protein. All proteins are long chains of amino acids. Beta casein is a chain 229 amino acids in length. Cows who produce this protein in their milk with a proline at number 67 are called A2 cows, and are the older breeds of cows (e.g. Asian and African cows). But some 5,000 years ago, a mutation occurred in this proline amino acid, converting it to histidine. Cows that have this mutated beta casein are called A1 cows, and include breeds like Holstein.

High levels are found in many parts of northern Europe and also other parts of the world where particular breeds of European origin predominate.
A1 beta-casein releases bovine beta-casomorphin7 (BCM7) on digestion. BCM7 is a neurotoxin. It hampers neural communication with insulin generating cells in lever. Proline has a strong bond to a small protein called BCM 7, which helps keep it from getting into the milk, so that essentially no BCM 7 is found in the urine, blood or GI tract of old-fashioned A2 cows. On the other hand, histidine, the mutated protein, only weakly holds on to BCM 7, so it is liberated in the GI tract of animals and humans who drink A1 cow milk.

Due to this, enough insulin is not getting generated which leads to type 1 Diabetes. This is the reason why so many kids in Western countries and now in India are lactose intolerant. They cannot digest the important sugar. So if you regularly get A1 milk from your dairy, there are high chances that you or your kid or kid's next generation after 20 years will have one or more autoimmune symptoms.
A2 beta-casein does not release BCM7 in the milk and so it is safe. It is unfortunate that Indian Govt promotes A1 breeds more over local mother like Gau mata's breeds. Equally unfortunate is the ignorance of common public, including some Gau shala owners. They become sentimental and reply..."There is not difference in

cows. Cow is cow. Mother is mother." Sheer dance of ignorance!
Potential solution:

1) If you cannot avail A2 milk from desi gau, avoid milk from your diet

2) For children, we must strive to avail ethically procured milk

3) I personally do not prefer milk trade (Very reason why Shri Krishna was against Kamsa and his Nation). Instead, those who want milk, must take care Gau one or another way. It is reciprocal relation. You do seva, you get prasad.

Benefits of Flax Seeds

Flaxseed is a good source of dietary fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. The fiber in flaxseed is found primarily in the seed coat. Taken before a meal, flaxseed fiber seems to make people feel less hungry, so that they might eat less food. Researchers believe this fiber binds with cholesterol in the intestine and prevents it from being absorbed. Flaxseed also seems to make platelets, the blood cells involved in clotting, less sticky. Overall, flaxseed’s effects on cholesterol and blood clotting may lower the risk of “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis).

Flaxseed is sometimes tried for cancer because it is broken down by the body into chemicals called “lignans.” Lignans are similar to the female hormone estrogen - so similar, in fact, that they compete with estrogen for a part in certain chemical reactions. As a result, natural estrogens seem to become less powerful in the body. Some researchers believe that lignans may be able to slow down the progress of certain breast cancers and other types of cancers that need estrogen to thrive.

For systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), flaxseed is thought to improve kidney function by decreasing the thickness of blood, reducing cholesterol levels, and reducing swelling.  

Health Benefits of Alsi (Flaxseeds)

• Flax is the #1 whole-food source of lignans, a phytonutrient associated with prolonged survival in cancer patients (especially breast cancer), having 800x more than any other food. Flax may be beneficial in suppressing the growth of breast and prostate cancers because when consumed, tumor cell proliferation goes down, cancer cell death increases, and c-erbB2 score is reduced. Combining flaxseed with dietary fat restriction may have an even greater effect on prostate cancer. Taking only one tablespoon of ground flaxseed a day may help prevent and reverse diabetes. Eating flaxseeds may also diminish skin sensitivity and improve skin barrier function and condition. Because lignans are activated by out gut bacteria, taking antibiotic may impair the production of the lignans.

• Flax seeds are an excellent source of Omega-3 fatty acids, iron, zinc, copper, calcium, protein, potassium, magnesium, folate, soluble fiber and even boron.

• Flaxseeds are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which help in reducing inflammation and hence, are very important for conditions like asthma, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine headaches and osteoporosis.
  
  
• Flaxseeds contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an omega-3 fat, which is also found in fish oil. As such, flaxseed oil makes a great substitute for fish oil.
  
  
• Omega-3 fats present in flaxseeds are very helpful in promoting bone health and reducing excessive bone turnover.
  
  
• Omega-3 fats in flaxseeds reduce the formation of blood clots, thereby lowering the risk of heart attack and other heart diseases.
  
  
• Omega-3 fats also help in maintaining flexible cell membranes, which further help the diabetic patients in responding better to insulin and absorption glucose effectively.
  
  
• Flaxseeds help in preventing the colon cells from carcinogenic toxins and free radicals; hence, reducing the risk of contracting colon cancer.
  
  
• Studies have proved that people who consume a diet including lots of omega-3 fats, like flaxseeds, tend have lower blood pressure than those who take less of these essential fats.
  
  
• Regular consumption of flaxseeds helps in reducing LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
  
  
• Researches have revealed that regular intake of flaxseeds stunts the prostrate tumor growth in men, thus inhibiting the risk of prostate cancer.
  
  
• Flaxseeds have high levels of lignans and studies have proved that lignans may protect against estrogen-dependents cancers, like breast cancer.
  
  
• Flaxseeds are also very helpful to post-menopausal women. They regulate the estrogen levels in post-menopausal women and protect them from heart diseases.
  
  
• Increased dietary intake of omega-3 fatty acids helps in effectively reducing the risk of dry eye syndrome.

Nutrition: The Future of Medicine

T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D.  Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry, Cornell

I doubt that few would disagree with the observation that nutrition is one of the most confusing words or concepts in the English language. What we choose to eat also is one of the most emotionally intense topics of human discourse, ranking up there with sex, religion and politics. Yet, properly practiced nutrition, as a dietary lifestyle, can do more to create health and save health care costs than all the contemporary medical interventions put together.

I know well this story. Having started a research and teaching career in nutrition over 50 years ago, I have seen the passion, the frivolity and the arrogance over and over and over when people talk about their food choices. This topic is very, very personal. It's sad because I do not see very much progress over these last four to five decades. Lots of shouting and not much constructive thought.

It is true that we have discovered a tremendous amount of information but this does not mean discovering what it all means. Indeed, our focus on details has created an enormous pile of contradictory observations--permitting too many people to construct ideas that please their palates and wallets more than educate their brains.

I don't care to pass personal blame or pose conspiracies, for we are all participants in this great war of words of what nutrition really means. Nonetheless, somewhere there is an origin and it is fostered by our professions, my nutrition and medical research community and my clinical colleagues' medical practice community. This is not surprising. The National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is the most influential research funding agency in the world, is comprised of 27 institutes, centers and programs and not one is named the Institute of Nutrition. Research funding is a mere pittance in a couple of the institutes and most of this is dedicated to the study of individual nutrients that I consider pharmacology, not nutrition.

Further, there is not a single medical school in the country that teaches nutrition as a basic medical science. At best, a few may have an elective course that treats the subject in a most superficial manner.

Public citizens, therefore, are left to fend for themselves against the hyped up claims of the food and drug industries.

If we are to understand the true value of nutrition, we must begin by considering the health value of whole foods, not the nutrient parts extracted from them. In that context it is whole, plant-based foods that express an effect that is far more then the sum of its parts. When done right, advanced heart disease can be cured, type 2 diabetes stopped and reversed, cancer can be prevented and, with some newer evidence, controlled after it appears. The range of diseases that can be prevented is more than impressive. The breadth and rapidity of the nutritional effect not only prevents disease but actually treats many of these diseases while restoring and maintaining health. The totality of these health effects are far more than almost anyone knows.

It is terribly frustrating when I know these effects, I know the savings in health care costs that can be had and I know the personal responses that virtually everyone experiences when they try this for a week or so. I also know that, historically, we have been slaves to a nutrition-less health information system that, in effect, is designed to keep us in mental chains, thus to maintain the status quo.

But there is light at the end of this tunnel. Former President Clinton recently discovered and used this information and, much to his credit, told his truly impressive results on "CNN" to Wolf Blitzer.

I am not sure he knows how far reaching is his contribution. It is time for the rest of the public to get to know this as well. This information is on the right side of history! Mark my word.

Whatsapp on PC

Link :: https://web.whatsapp.com/
(Open in Chrome Browser only)

With over 700 million activated accounts, WhatsApp is undoubtedly the king of mobile social messengers. Not only is it extremely popular, but this Facebook owned application is one of the best when it comes to efficiency and ease of use. Though pretty much perfect, I bet we have all been jonesing  to use it on our computers!, Iit’s quite understandable – a much bigger screen, a physical keyboard, multi-tasking abilities; it’s  dreamlike. And guess what? With it’s latest update WhatsApp actually did it! With WhatsApp Web you can access all your chats, media & contacts at the comfort of your browser. What? Where? How? – we’ll tell ya!

Now the concept of using WhatsApp on a computer is not novel. There are tons of softwares, browser extensions and app-emulators which allow you to do the same. But WhatsApp Web is simply more convenient and efficient. A point to remember though – it’s NOT a WhatsApp alternative,  you must have WhatsApp installed on your phone! Basically, WhatsApp Web is an extension of your existing WhatsApp messenger. It allows you to send messages (text & voice) and media (images & videos) just like the mobile app.

There’s no setup or installation. Simply open WhatsApp (latest version) on your phone, tap the menu button (top right) and select WhatsApp Web, a QR code scanner will appear, post an instructional pop-up message. Next, head to web.whatsapp.com on your computer (using Chrome browser) and scan the QR code on the left. Done! Your browser will now mirror your phone’s WhatsApp application allowing you to use all the functionality with much ease!

The feature however, comes with it’s own limitations. Firstly, it can only be used with Google Chrome, which shouldn’t pinch, considering almost everyone has it installed (right?). Secondly, though it can be used from Chrome on  most operating systems – Windows, Android, Mac (OS X); it can’t be accessed on iOS. But the biggest limitation is its dependability on your phone’s WhatsApp.   Since it’s a mirror interface, the messages are basically sent & received by your phone therefore, both your phone and your computer must to be connected to the internet. Also, for essential features like changing status & display picture, creating & leaving groups and blocking contacts, you will have to use the mobile application.

Despite its shortcomings, WhatsApp Web completely changes the way we use WhatsApp – trust me, typing on a full-fledged keyboard feels divine!   Moreover it is an excellent way to share media with your peers. Say you want to share pictures from your camera among your friends on WhatsApp. Instead of transferring them to your computer and then on your phone, you can simply send them from the PC itself!

WhatsApp Web is a revolutionary enhancement which every WhatsApp user is sure to like. Though far from perfect, it’s definitely a  great first step towards its integration with our different devices.

RTI reveals flaws in recruitment of non-teaching staff at DU

http://www.millenniumpost.in/NewsContent.aspx?NID=72396 

In another jolt to Delhi University’s authorities, an Right to Information Inquiry (RTI) has revealed that four member of non-teaching staff were appointed even as there is no record of their written examination.

For example, one candidate Abhishek (roll number- 911100264), who did not even appear for the examination was selected. Similarly, four other candidates were also appointed on basis on the same grounds.

‘There have been irregularities in appointments. The concerned ministry should look into this and set up a committee and probe the matter,’ said Rajiv Prashar, who filed the RTI application. According to the RTI, Babita Sharma, Ravinder Sish, Chetan Vats and Suman were there in final list of candidates selected for Junior Assistant’s post.  But there were no records of their written examination marks.

Similarly, marks of four other candidates have been changed in final merit list.

Meanwhile, the non-teaching staff of DU have decided to protest against the authorities. ‘We will protest against such corrupt culture within the university. We will approach UGC and Human Resource Development ministry to thoroughly probe the case’, said Raj Kumar Paswan, who is a member of non-teaching staff at DU.

The Delhi University has also set up committee to look in the issue. ‘We have set up a one man inquiry committee to probe the matter. The committee will soon submit its report to Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh,’ said Malay Neerav, Delhi University’s media coordinator and Joint Dean of Students’ Welfare.

Delhi elections 2015: Kiran Bedi to make better chief minister than Arvind Kejriwal, says AAP patron Shanti Bhushan

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/delhi-elections-2015-kiran-bedi-to-make-better-chief-minister-than-arvind-kejriwal-says-aap-patron-shanti-bhushan/articleshow/45985690.cms

NEW DELHI: AAP has played down the statements made by its patron Shanti Bhushan on Thursday, a day after he came out in support of Kiran Bedi's elevation as the chief ministerial candidate of BJP.

All AAP leaders, including his son Prashant Bhushan, clarified that the party did not share Shanti Bhushan's view and maintained that Bedi's decision to join BJP was "opportunistic".

Unfazed by the dismissal of his remarks, Bhushan, on Thursday, went ahead and called for a "reorientation" within AAP saying all was not well in the party and it was not being run following its founding principles. He told news channels that the AAP chief had failed the party on candidate selection for Delhi polls and that Bedi would make a better CM than Kejriwal. He also said that Kejriwal should be replaced with a new leader.

ET was the first to report Bhushan's comments on Bedi's induction into BJP. "It's a masterstroke by the BJP to pitch her as a candidate because she has been a crusader against corruption just as Arvind (Kejriwal) has," the former union law minister had told ET in an interview on Tuesday. He said that Bedi, as the CM, would provide an honest government to Delhi.


Asked about Bhushan's praise for her, BJP's CM candidate simply thanked him and refused to comment further. Party Chief Arvind Kejriwal said: "It's a democracy and everybody has a right to express his feelings." Prashant Bhushan, on the other hand, distanced himself from his father's remarks and called Bedi opportunistic. "She did not want to enter politics at the time we decided to form a party. So why join BJP now?" he asked.

"This is Shantiji's personal view. I can't understand how Shantiji can possibly approve of Bedi joining a party that he calls communal even today. I do not agree with his assessment and the timing of his assessment. I don't think even Prashantji would agree with it," said AAP leader Yogendra Yadav.
