Cut back on the full Irish

The recent headlines warning of a possible link between processed meat, including bacon and sausages, and pancreatic cancer left a bitter taste for people who like their full Irish breakfast.
Pancreatic cancer caused the death of former Finance Minister Brian Lenihan last year so we are well aware of how lethal it can be.
The research indicated that eating only 50g a day, just one sausage, may raise your risk of this rare cancer by 19pc.
So how worried should people be? The first thing to remember is that pancreatic cancer is rare, so even a 19pc increase in risk would mean that a person’s chance of getting the disease would still be very small.
Around 370 Irish people will be diagnosed with it this year.
Receptor for tasting fat identified in humans
Why do we like fatty foods so much? We can blame our taste buds. Our tongues apparently recognize and have an affinity for fat, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Why do we like fatty foods so much? We can blame our taste buds.
Our tongues apparently recognize and have an affinity for fat, according to researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. They have found that variations in a gene can make people more or less sensitive to the taste of fat.
The study is the first to identify a human receptor that can taste fat and suggests that some people may be more sensitive to the presence of fat in foods. The study is available online in the Journal of Lipid Research.
Investigators found that people with a particular variant of the CD36 gene are far more sensitive to the presence of fat than others.

Dabigatran users face increased risks for myocardial infarction and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) relative to those on control medications or placebo, according to a meta-analysis in the .
Researchers examined outcomes in some 30,000 patients from seven randomized trials of dabigatran use in various settings (e.g., stroke prophylaxis, postsurgical prophylaxis of deep venous thrombosis). Overall, dabigatran was associated with significantly higher risks than control treatment; the risks remained elevated even when short-term studies were excluded. The increase in relative risk for MI or ACS was 33%, but the authors point out that the increase in absolute risk was modest, at 0.27%.
Commentators call the results “robust” and “alarming.” A separate editorial note says the findings “deserve serious consideration” when deciding whether to use dabigatran.

It’s obviously important for your baby to like and eat those mushy and colorful solid foods you feed her for the first time. But it’s even more important that YOU like them. Your baby has never tasted food before. Only you know if a baby food fruit or vegetable actually tastes like a real peach or carrot and not some artificial representation with an icky aftertaste. Trust us, a lot of the baby food on the shelves tastes this way — and that’s no way to set the stage for a lifetime of healthy eating habits. The moms at The Stir felt a baby food taste test done by grown-ups was long overdue and we recently took the gastric plunge.

Ginger is native to south-east Asia, a region whose cuisine still relies heavily on this wonderfully spicy herb. The spice ginger is the underground root of the ginger plant, known botanically as Zingiber officinale.
The flesh of the ginger root can be yellow, white or red in colour, depending upon the variety. It is covered with a brownish skin that may either be thick or thin, depending upon whether the plant was harvested.
Ginger has a long-established use in situations of gastrointestinal upset, more specifically nausea and vomiting.
Ginger also has potent anti-inflammatory properties, benefiting arthritis sufferers. It is so concentrated with active substances you don’t have to use very much to receive its beneficial effects.
