Researchers from the Baylor College of Medicine found that fruit juice was not linked with children's weight. The study evaluated data from a national sample of preschool children and concluded that consumption of 100 percent juice was not associated with body mass index among them.

Addressing the parent's concern, Theresa Nicklas, lead researcher, said that parents should be confident serving their children appropriate amounts of 100 percent fruit juice

Consumption of diet rich in vitamin B6 helps in decreasing the risk of Parkinson's disease. Vitamin B6 is essential for metabolism of protein and proper immune and nervous system function, and is found in both meat and vegetables.

Researchers from the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam analysed more than 5,000 people and found that those who took most vitamin B6 were half as likely to develop Parkinson's disease as compared to those who consumed the least.

There is evidence that high levels of the amino acid homocysteine could cause damage to brain cells. The researchers followed 5,289 men and women aged 55 and older who were free of the disease at the beginning of the study to see whether higher intake of folate and vitamins B6 and B12, which can reduce homocysteine levels, would also reduce Parkinson's risk

New York, NY (AHN)-A new study suggests that higher dietary intake of vitamin B6 may decrease the risk of Parkinson's disease.

Dutch researchers find that among more than 5,000 people those who reported taking in the most vitamin B6 were about half as likely as those who consumed the least to develop Parkinson's disease

The longest study to date performed to determine if folate and B vitamins can prevent dementia showed there is no benefit to taking a supplement.

According to the researchers at the University of Otago in New Zealand who conducted a two-year study on the effects of the vitamins on 276 people 65 and older, folate and B vitamins decrease homoscysteine, a blood substance that can make arteries stiffen and clog

New research finds antioxidants and other vitamins will not help in the fight to protect smokers against lung cancer. In an analysis of eight previous studies, researchers found no evidence that vitamins A, C, E or folate lower a person's risk of lung cancer. The research followed thousands of adults for up to 16 years.

People with the highest intakes of vitamins were no less likely to develop lung cancer than those who had little intake
