New & Noteworthy in Nutrition: Current Issue (#)
„Nutritional supplementation in childhood has positive effects on those supplemented as well as their future children, according to Aryeh Stein and coworkers from Emory University who estimated the intergenerational effect on offspring length of improved nutrition in the mother's childhood. They examined 263 children born in 1996–1999 to 231 women who had received nutritional supplementation - i.e., atole (high-protein, moderate-energy drink) or fresco (non-protein, low-energy drink) - prenatally and up to age 7 years as part of a community trial in Guatemala between 1969 and 1977. Children born to women who received the enhanced supplement were taller than were children whose mothers received the low-energy supplement – an increment that was independent of the children's birth weight or socioeconomic status but was substantially attenuated and no longer significant after adjustment for maternal height. The effect of maternal nutritional supplementation was more pronounced in boys than in girls and, interestingly, in children born to women who received supplements at ages 3–7 years than in children born to women who received supplements at ages 0-3 years.“

Effects of Coffee and Tea on Arthritis
„Excessive coffee drinking could increase your risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA). But most people won't need to worry. You'd need to drink 11 or more cups of coffee per day.“

„Grounds For Concern. With increased coffee consumption in urban areas in developing countries, it may be useful to bring the issue of caffeine in pregnancy to the attention of health ministry counterparts. Even modest doses of caffeine may lead to miscarriages, according to a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The study found that pregnant women who drink 1.5-3 cups of coffee a day doubled their chance of miscarriage.“

„Caffi gwych efo'r coffi gorau yn Aberystwyth - a dw i erioed wedi cael problem wrth fynd â phlant yno, er ei bod braidd yn gyfyng ar gyfer pram neu gadair. (Translation: "Great cafe with the best coffee in Aberystwyth - and I've never had a problem taking children there, even though there's not much space for a pram or pushchair.)“

„For many, the timer is the main attraction of the MEFB2B but the brewing system, which makes or breaks a coffeemaker's performance, is especially noteworthy. Building upon the superiority of the cone filter, Melitta adds a hotter brewing temperature and sturdier plumbing (a copper-braised stainless steel heater and stainless steel tubing instead of plastic). Coffee experts recommend a brewing temperature higher than 190 degrees F but not boiling (212 degrees). The Melitta MEFB2B hits the sweet spot of 200 degrees and then keeps the coffee hotter.“
