Gray Hair at 25? Yes. Here's what you can do - US News and World Report
- http://health.usnews.com/health-news/articles/2012/08/23/gray-hair-at-25-yes-heres-what-you-can-do
If you’ve come early to the graying game, blame genetics. How you cope, however, is up to you. The premature graying problem is largely genetic. Hair follicles contain pigment cells that produce melanin, which gives your tresses their color. When your body stops generating melanin, hair presents itself as gray, white, or silver.
Poor nutrition, for example, is thought to affect the production of melanin. Specifically, that means getting too little protein, vitamin B12, and the amino acid phenylalanine.

The diarrhea may be bloody and can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The illness typically lasts one week.
Campylobacter is one of the most common causes of diarrheal illness in the United States.

Another reason why breast is best: Mother's milk promotes a healthier gut -http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2194613/Another-reason-breast-best.html
This is because lab tests revealed a mother's milk fosters unique colonies of microbiotic flora that aid nutrient absorption and boost immune system development.
'This study is the first we know of that examines the effects of infant nutrition on the way that bacteria grow, providing insight to the mechanisms underlying the benefits of breast feeding over formula feeding for newborns.
'Only breast milk appears to promote a healthy colonization of beneficial biofilms, and these insights suggest there may be potential approaches for developing substitutes that more closely mimic those benefits in cases where breast milk cannot be provided.'
Earlier studies have shown that breast milk lowers the incidence of diarrhoea, influenza and respiratory infections during infancy. It also protects against the later development of allergies, type 1 diabetes, multiple sclerosis and other illnesses.

How a common virus could increase risk of type 2 diabetes later in life -http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2194809/How-common-virus-increase-risk-diabetes-later-life.html
The Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is part of the herpes family and can be sexually-transmitted. It can also be spread via coughs and sneezes and it is estimated around half of all adults have been infected.
The virus tends to remain dormant and most people don't exhibit any symptoms, but if they do they are similar to flu. However, new research from Leiden University and the University of Tubingen in Germany suggests it is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes in the elderly.
