Stem cell therapy could repair some heart damage

  Scientists have conducted a study using stem cells to treat patients with chronic ischemic heart disease and left ventricular dysfunction. The study composed of 92 patients averaging the age of 63 split into two groups, a test and placebo group. Those who received the stem cells showed an increase of 2.7% in left ventricular pumping pressure. Although the stem cell treatment did not fix the patients' ailments, it provided data to help future clinical trials using stem cell therapy.

Popcorn and antioxidents

A study shows that popcorn not only has low calories and high fiber but also full of antioxidants. They concluded that popcorn has two times more polyphenol than fruit does. Polyphenols help neutralize free radicals which helps decrease the risk of heart disease. This finding may suggest that popcorn is a better option compared to chips, cookies, etc. However the study also said that do not completely replace fruits in your diet for popcorn because fruits have other nutrients that popcorn doesnt have to offer.
