However, a recent study by US scientists found that regular use of fat milk is good for health, especially trans-palmitoleic acid in fatty milk works to help people lower their risk. type 2 diabetes.

The team led by scientists from the Institute of Public Health, Harvard University, said that the higher the fat content of fat milk, the higher the level of trans-palmitoleic acid fatty acids. Therefore, trans-palmitoleic fatty acid content is much higher in fat milk than non-fat milk.

Scientists conducted a survey of more than 3,700 subjects over 65 years of age. The results showed that those who used the most fat-free milk had a 62% lower incidence of type 2 diabetes than those using the lowest fat milk.

Cuba uses nanotechnology to treat cancer

The director of Cuba Marlene Porto Medical Research and Development Center said on December 27 that scientists in the country are studying cancer treatment regimens using nanotechnology.

In an interview with Juventud Rebelde, Marlene Porto said that when introduced into the body, nanotechnology-based anticancer drugs will interact directly in the area of ​​the cancer cell.

According to Porto, nanotechnology will allow doctors to improve the quality and effectiveness of drugs, thereby providing appropriate treatment methods, reducing toxicity and slowing metastasis. cancer cells.

Cuba is focusing on investment in biotechnology research and production, including vaccines, pharmaceuticals and technology for export. Every year, this promising industry brings about $ 400 million to the Caribbean island nation.
