Eating soy can lead to longer life after breast cancer: study
Eating more soy may be tied to better survival odds for many women with breast cancer and may not be harmful for patients treated with hormones, a new study suggests. Previous nutrition research has linked soy to a longer life, but prior studies have also suggested soy may help tumors spread by making hormone-based cancer treatments, or endocrine therapy, less effective. For the current study, researchers examined data on 6,235 U.S. and Canadian women with breast cancer. More than half of the women were followed for at least nine years.
During the course of the study, women who ate the most foods containing soy were 21 percent less likely to die than individuals who consumed the smallest amounts of soy. “All women or all breast cancer survivors can add soy as a component of a healthy diet,” said lead study author Dr. Fang Fang Zhang, a nutrition and science policy researcher at Tufts University in Boston.
The study focused on isoflavone, a compound in soybeans that can be found in foods like tofu, miso, edamame and soy milk. Isoflavone is in a family of plant compounds known as phytoestrogens that are chemically and structurally similar to the female sex hormone estrogen. Researchers found the strongest link between soy and survival for
women with certain aggressive forms of breast cancer that can’t be treated with hormones.
They didn’t see a link between soy consumption and longevity for women with tumors that depend on estrogen to grow or women receiving endocrine therapy.
“Our findings, taken together, i n d i c a t e t h a t soy food
consumption does not have a harmful effect for women treated with endocrine
therapies, but the benefit may be limited to women with negative tumor hormone receptors
or those who were not treated with endocrine therapies,” Zhang added by email. For the study, researchers examined data from dietary questionnaires for women diagnosed with breast cancer from 1996 to 2011. They excluded women who died within one year of completing the first questionnaire. At the start, women were 52 years old on average and most had at least some education beyond high school. About 47 percent took hormone therapy for tumors.
On average, women consumed 1.8 milligrams of isoflavone daily, roughly the amount in one ounce of soy cheese and far less than a 3-ounce serving of tofu or a half-cup portion of edamame. During the study, 1,224 women died. Overall, women with the highest quartile of dietary isoflavone intake, an average of at least 1.5 milligrams a day, were 21 percent less likely to die than women in the lowest quartile who got less than 0.3 milligrams a day, researchers report in Cancer. For women with tumors not fueled by hormones, the highest amount of isoflavone intake was tied to 51 percent lower odds of death from all causes.
Among women who didn’t receive hormone therapy, the highest level of dietary isoflavone was associated with 32 percent lower odds of death from all causes. One limitation of the study is that women who ate more foods with soy tended to be more affluent and educated, with healthier lifestyles, making it possible that other factors beyond dietary isoflavone influences longevity, the authors note. Researchers also lacked data on the type and length of hormone therapy for women who received this treatment, which could also impact survival odds.

Still, the findings build on previous research in Asia that linked high dietary soy intake to a lower risk of developing breast cancer, said Dr. Omer Kucuk, a researcher at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta. “It is not surprising that this study showed women in North America also benefit from soy intake with reduced mortality from breast cancer while on treatment,” Kucuk, author of an accompanying editorial, said by email. “Up until now physicians generally discouraged their breast cancer patients from eating soy foods because of potential harm,” Kucuk said. “We can now encourage women with breast cancer to eat soy foods because it is safe and it will likely improve their survival.”

India opens bulk export of edible oils
In a major policy shift, the Modi Government on Monday opened up the exports of edible oils such as groundnut oil, soyabean oil, sesame oil and maize oil in bulk quantity. So far, export of edible oils was allowed under branded consumer packs of up to 5 kg. The latest move comes on the back of an anticipated record oilseed output of 33.60 mt in 2016-17, up from 25.30 mt in the previous year and exporters feel that China could emerge as a major destination for the Indian groundnut oil.
The Directorate General of Foreign Trade on Monday issued a
notification amending the export policy for edible oils.
Till now the export of edible oi ls such as coconut oil and rice bran oil was allowed freely in bulk, while other edible oils were allowed only under the
b r anded consumer packs of up to 5 kg with
minimum export price (MEP) of US $ 900 per tonne.
Major oils exported in consumer packs are groundnut oil, sesame oil,
sunflower oil and mustard oil.
"The decision of allowing other edible oils such as groundnut oil, sesame oil, soyabean oil and maize oil will boost the overall edible oil export and improve the utilisation of the domestic oil millers. This is a welcome step for the industry," said Atul Chaturvedi, president, the Solvent Extractors' Association of India (SEA).
Chaturvedi said the move will encourage bulk exports of groundnut oils to countries such as China and Europe. Additionally, India's non-GMO soyabean will have an advantage in the international market as those nations looking for non-GMO soya bean oil will turn to India, he added. The quantum of potential export was difficult to estimate, however the trade body, believes that previously the edible oil shipments had touched a peak of 40,000-50,000 tonnes a few years ago.
"This is decision will have major impact on the groundnut oil sector. This is for the first time India has opened bulk export of edible oils to the world. This will go a long way for the sector," said Satyanarayan Agarwal, an edible oil trader. The oil trading community has been representing repeatedly to the Central government for allowing export of all edible oils in bulk.

Quality Control of Processed Food Items
The Food Safety and Standards (FSS) Act was enacted in 2006 to establish the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). FSSAI has the mandate for laying down science based standards for articles of food and to re gu l a t e t he i r m a n u f a c t u r e , s t o r a g e , distribution, sale and import and to ensure availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption. The work relating to implementation and enforcement of the FSS Act, 2006 and regulations thereunder has primarily been entrusted to the Food Safety Departments of the States/Union Territories. Appropriate structures have been established in the States/Union Territories for enforcement of the Act.
Regulation 2.2 of the Food Safety and Standards (Packaging and Labelling) Regulations, 2011 prescribes the general requirements for labelling of pre-packaged food which includes the clause regarding nutritional information on food labels.
Regular surveillance, monitoring, inspection and random sampling of food products is undertaken by the officials of Food Safety Departments of the respective States/ UTs to ensure that food products comply with the laid down standards. In cases, where food samples are found to be non-conforming to the prescribed standards, recourse is taken to penal provisions under Chapter IX of the FSS Act, 2006.

Malnutrition among Pre-School Children
As per the National Nutrition Monitoring Bureau (NNMB) third repeat survey report, 2012 for ten Indian States, 0.5% of children aged 1-5 years suffer from Vitamin-A deficiency manifested as Conjunctival Xerosis; and as per National Family Health Survey- 4 (2015-16) report, 58.4% children below five years suffer from anaemia.
The main reasons for these micronutrient deficiencies are poor d i e t a r y i n t a k e , repeated infections, poor complementary feeding practices, and lack of adequate sanitation and hygiene practices.
The steps taken by the Government to address the problem of malnutrition among children are as follows:
1. Promotion of appropriate infant and young child feeding practices that include early initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months of age through ASHA worker and health care provider at health facilities. Ministry of Health and Family Welfare recently launched “MAA” programme to provide impetus on capacity building of the health workers on lactation management at both community

El Nino seen arriving too late to hurt India’s monsoon rains
India’s monsoon may escape the effects of a possible El Nino as the event that can bring dry weather to the world’s top cotton grower and second-biggest wheat and sugar producer. “Mostly it may not have any impact on rains” because the El Nino probably won’t develop until later this year, said D.S. Pai, head of the long-range forecasting division of India Meteorological Department. “As of now it’s not indicating. There will be clarity when more information is available in April and May.”
Forecasters globally have been increasing odds that El Nino will develop this year as temperatures in the Pacific Ocean rise. Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology issued an El Nino “watch” on 28 February, indicating the likelihood of the pattern forming this year is about 50%. Six climate models suggest thresholds may be reached by July. The US Climate Prediction Center raised its odds to 50% by the end of the year, while Malaysia puts a 50% chance of development between September and November. The 2015-16 El Nino was the strongest since the record event of 1997-98.
A late El Nino may miss India’s monsoon season that runs from June through September, accounting for more than 70% of rain and watering more than half of all farmland. Rainfall was normal in 2016 following two years of deficit that curbed output of sugar cane, wheat and pulses. The good monsoon rains encouraged farmers to expand crop planting and the government predicts India’s grain harvest will reach an all-time high on record rice,
wheat and pulses production. Farmers are watching the rain and temperature outlooks, especially for wheat crops that are to be harvested from this month. Wheat production will probably fall short of a government forecast, spurring imports, according to a Bloomberg survey published last month.
India’s Meteorological Department said last week that above-normal temperatures are likely across India from March to May after 2016 was the warmest year since 1901. While weak La Nina conditions have been prevailing over the Pacific Ocean since July, forecasts indicate the pattern will weaken and reach neutral levels during the pre-monsoon season, it said. “Any temperature that is above normal will have a direct bearing on the crop, be it north or central India,” said G.P. Sharma, a former president of India’s Skymet Weather Services Pvt. “The crop needs cooler temperatures and a spell of rain also. The combination of the two decides the size of grain and yield.” Rain is likely in parts of wheat-growing states of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan this week, according to India’s weather department. Temperatures rose in the north parts of the country in the second half of February, it said.

Soybeans rise from near three-month lowU.S. soybeans rose for the first time in eight sessions on Wednesday as the oilseed rebounded from a near three-month low hit in the previous session, though expectations for abundant global supplies capped gains. FUNDAMENTALS * The most active soybean futures on the Chicago Board Of Trade rose 0.45 percent to $10.03-3/4 a bushel after closing down 0.7 percent on Tuesday, when prices hit a low of $9.92 a bushel, their lowest since Dec. 27. * The most active corn futures rose 0.1 percent to $3.62-1/2 a bushel, having gained 0.35 percent in the previous session after earlier hitting a low of $3.60 a bushel, their lowest since Feb. 1. * The most active wheat futures climbed 0.17 percent to $4.31-1/4 a bushel, having closed little changed on Tuesday after earlier hitting a low of $4.28-1/2 a bushel, lowest since Feb. 8. * Soybeans under pressure from expectations of silo-busting production from South America. * Expectations for an expansion in U.S. soybean plantings added to bearish sentiment. A survey of farmers released by Illinois-based research and brokerage firm Allendale Inc projected soybean plantings at 88.8 million acres, up 6.5 percent from 2016. * The survey put corn plantings at 90 million acres and all-wheat seedings at 45.967 million acres. * Chinese importers have booked at least three cargoes of U.S. corn, totaling about 195,000 tonnes, for shipment in the late spring to early summer from the Pacific Northwest, U.S. corn export traders said on Tuesday. * Egypt's General Authority for Supply Commodities set a tender to buy an unspecified amount of wheat from global suppliers for shipment between April 15 and April 25. Results are expected on Wednesday. MARKET NEWS * The dollar was on tenterhooks in Asian trading on Wednesday as investors waited anxiously to see what clues the U.S. Federal Reserve would soon reveal on its monetary policy outlook. * U.S. oil prices rose more than 2 percent in early Asian trade on Wednesday, recovering from a three-month low after industry data showed a surprise drawdown in U.S. crude stockpiles and Goldman Sachs put a positive spin on OPEC's compliance with output cuts. * U.S. stocks fell on Tuesday as oil prices dropped to their lowest since November and airlines pulled industrial stocks down as a blizzard hit the U.S. Northeast.
