A new study suggests that drinking milk and eating cheese stimulate a protein that prompts the release of eggs thus making women five times more likely to give birth to twins.

The study published in the Journal of Reproductive Medicine available Monday attributed it to the hormones given to cattle to boost their milk and meat production

Dr. Gary Steinman, an obstetrician specializing in multiple-birth pregnancies at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York, stated that the reason may be hormones given to cattle to boost their milk and meat production

Researchers at Cambridge Institute for Medical Research in the UK have identified a variation in a gene that is associated with type 1 diabetes, which leads to retarded production of insulin by pancreas.

The new discovery suggests that an abnormal response to a viral infection knocks out insulin-producing cells, because the affected gene encodes an enzyme called interferon-induced helicase (IFIH1) that plays a role in the anti-viral immune response, says Reuters

New research based on experiments performed on mice indicates that insulin and growth hormone are key factors in aging, and researchers say that the findings show that it might be possible to create anti-aging medications.

"The implication ... for pharmaceutical development would be that signaling pathways of growth hormone and insulin may be logical targets for development of anti-aging medicine," says Dr. Andrezej Bartke from Southern Illinois University in Springfield

According to findings of a study published in the journal of Diabetic, patients with Type 2 diabetes, aged 35 to 54, are three times more likely to die early than those of the same age without the disease.

The disease develops when the body can not make enough insulin or when the insulin that is produced does not work properly as compared to type 1 diabetes in which the body cannot make any insulin at all
