Herbal Extract Help Relieve Stress and Anxiety

Rhodiola rosea, an herbal extract that’s widely sold as an antidote to stress and anxiety in humans, extended the life of fruit flies who were fed a diet rich in the supplement in a study conducted by UC Irvine.

“Flies that were supplemented with a diet rich with Rhodiola rosea … lived on average 10 percent longer than flies that didn’t eat the herb,” UCI says in a news release. The study was recently published in the journal Rejuvenation Research.

Dr Mahtab JafariMahtab Jafari, the professor of pharmaceutical science who led the study, says that, “Although this study does not present clinical evidence that Rhodiola (shown in photo) can extend human life, the finding that it does extend the life span of a model organism, combined with its known health benefits in humans, make this herb a promising candidate for further anti-aging research.”

Jafari is associated with UCI’s Susan Samueli Center for Integrative Medicine, whose mission includes the scientific study of supplements.

Cell Phone Use Increases Risks of Cancer

Regular use of mobile telephones increases the risk of developing tumours, a new scientific study by Israeli researchers and published in the American Journal of Epidemiology revealed on Friday.

An extract of the report seen by Israel’s Yedoit Aharonot newspaper put the risk of developing a parotid gland tumour nearly 50 percent higher for frequent mobile phone users — more than 22 hours a month.

The risk was still higher if users clamped the phone to the same ear, did not use hands-free devices or were in rural areas.

“Analysis restricted to regular users or to conditions that may yield higher levels of exposure (eg heavy use in rural areas) showed consistently elevated risks,” said an abstract of the report in the US journal made available to AFP.

The study included 402 benign and 58 malignant incident cases of parotid gland tumour diagnosed in Israel at age 18 years or more, in 2001-2003.

The research was led by Dr Siegal Sadetzki, a cancer and radiation expert at the Chaim Sheba Medical Centre in Israel and as part of a World Health Organisation project.
