According to experts in the UK, white bread is an important source of nutrition and warnings on the dangers of eating bread don't have any truth in them, The Sun reported.
A new research carried out by nutrition scientist Dr Aine O'Connor, based at the British Nutrition Foundation in central London found that standard sliced white bread had been unfairly "demonised" by health campaigners and TV nutritionists.
The research debunks myths that bread causes bloating, sparks weight gain - and that wheat allergies are on the rise.
"Health professionals need to dispel the myths. Bread is an important source of nutrition," she said.
"People are missing out on vital vitamins and minerals by removing it from their daily diet," the research found.
Social isolation during early life prevents the cells that make up the brain’s white matter from maturing and producing the right amount of myelin, the fatty “insulation” on nerve fibers that helps them transmit long-distance messages within the brain, the study found.
It also identifies a molecular pathway that is involved in these abnormalities, showing it is disrupted by social isolation and suggesting it could potentially be targeted . Finally, the research indicates that the timing of social deprivation is an important factor in causing impairment.
The researchers, led by Gabriel Corfas, PhD, and Manabu Makinodan, MD, PhD, both of the F.M. Kirby Neurobiology Center at Boston Children’s Hospital, modeled social deprivation in mice by putting them in isolation for two weeks.
When isolation occurred during a “critical period,” starting three weeks after birth, cells called oligodendrocytes failed to mature in the prefrontal cortex, a brain region important for cognitive function and social behavior. As a result, nerve fibers had thinner coatings of myelin, which is produced by oligodendrocytes, and the mice showed impairments in social interaction and working memory.
Studies of children raised in institutions where neglect was rampant, including another recent study from Boston Children’s Hospital, have found changes in white matter in the prefrontal cortex, but the mechanism for the changes hasn’t been clear. The new study adds to a growing body of evidence that so-called glial cells, including oligodendrocytes, do more than just support neurons, but rather participate actively in setting up the brain’s circuitry as they receive input from the environment.
"The NC complaint was lodged by Yukta Mookhey around three months ago; but no case has been registered till now," clarifies Harishchandra Vhatkar, senior inspector of Amboli police station where the complaint was lodged.
While even the close associates of Tuli family have said that they are not in the know of the rift between the couple, friends of the couple are shocked to learn about this development. One of the relatives of Prince told us that the entire episode is very surprising as "I remember, Yuka had gone to Dubai in April for a holiday along with Prince and her in-laws; it seemed to be all hunky-dory back then. And just after two months (in June), she filed this complaint in the court. We were taken aback as to what could go so wrong in such a short while."
Times of India has learnt that apparently, Yukta wanted to shift to Mumbai to further pursue her acting career, but her in-laws were not very comfortable with that. "I believe that was the flashpoint between the couple," said a family friend of the Tulis.
Added sources close to the couple, who feel that there seemed to be a great mismatch to start with, "Yukta couldn't adjust with the relaxed environs of a sleepy city like Nagpur, as she was accustomed to the flashy lifestyle of Mumbai." Though our repeated attempts to speak to Yukta failed, we did speak to Yukta last month when she had shifted to Mumbai. At that time she had told us that she had moved to Mumbai along with her three-year-old son, Aahrein. Since both the families were tightlipped about Yukta's move, the status of her strained relationship with Prince was only speculated about. While Prince Tuli could not be contacted as he's travelling abroad, his father Bachiter Singh Tuli refrained from commenting on the issue, saying, "As the matter is sub judice, it won't be appropriate for me to say anything about it."
