Published in the journal Nutrients, the EuroMed-funded study found that pomegranate extract increased levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), a hormone that supports normal cell growth and development, but naturally declines with age. Low levels of IGF-1 have been linked to increased oxidative stress and decreased muscle mass and bone mineral density, as well as an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.However, very high levels are also associated with negative effects on longevity, with studies showing that excessive levels can increase cancer risk. This suggests there is a ‘Goldilocks’ zone of IGF-1 levels, according to…

Credit: blueskies9/Fotolia Results from a clinical trial following patients for three years have shown that a daily, low dose of aspirin can significantly reduce the risk of recurrence after surgery in colorectal tumors that carry mutations in the PI3K signaling pathway.
