Turnip, which is scientifically known as Brassica rapa, belongs to the Cruciferae family, which includes super foods like kale, collards, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and broccoli.

Type 2 diabetes is more common in people who work shifts, a large international study suggests. The findings, published in Occupational and Environmental Medicine, indicated men and those doing rotating shifts were at highest risk. It is thought that disruption to the body clock affects waistlines, hormones and sleep – which could increase the risk. Diabetes UK said shift workers should eat a healthy balanced diet. The disease can lead […]
Researchers at York University have discovered that moose saliva may help the animals control a potential dangerous toxin found in the grass they frequently eat. A professor of biology at York University said biologists at the university enlisted the help of the Toronto Zoo in collecting spit samples from the captive animals. Dawn Bazely said the saliva was then applied to a grass which hosts the toxic fungus. The fungus […]

Geologists have discovered the secret that gives dramatic natural sandstone monuments their shape: gravity. By studying cubes of sand in the lab, they showed that areas squeezed by vertical stress are protected from erosion, while others wash away. The process had proved difficult to study, because natural slabs of sandstone erode over millions of years. The key to the experiments, published in Nature Geoscience, was an unusual “locked sand” dug […]
The Digestion Process: Ingested food passes down the oesophagus (food pipe) into the stomach. Stomach cells produce mucus which protects the stomach lining from damage from digestive acids and chemicals, produced by the stomach itself. The oesophagus cell linings are more delicate and have little protection from acid. A sphincter (a ring of muscule that contracts to close an opening) called lower esophageal sphincter (LES), is present at the junction […]
