A study with riboflavin for children and adolescents: A randomized, double-blind study of 48 children suggests that riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is not an effective treatment for migraine headaches. For 4 weeks, participants received either 200 mg/day of riboflavin or placebo. At the end of the study, a reduction by at least 50% in the number of migraine headaches was reported in about 44% of treatment participants and 67% in the placebo group. (39)
Dangers of processed and cured meats:
Some cohort studies have shown that consumption of certain meats either by the pregnant mother, or by the child may result in an increased risk of childhood cancers. In the studies below, the odds ratio was used to calculate risk. Odds ratio is the odds of an event occurring in the exposed group comp…ared to the odds of it occurring in the group which is not exposed. An OR of 1 means that both groups have the same odds. An OR of 1.5 means that the risk is 50% greater. An OR of 2 means that the risk is doubled, and so forth.
