Antibiotics are medications that are prescribed to fight disease-causing bacteria. However, high doses of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, which is the ability of the microbes to ...

Researchers at Canada's McGill University have uncovered what could be a pretty sweet way of warding off bacteria. The scientists developed a concentrated extract of maple syrup and combined it with ...

Dr Nathalie Tufenkji, from McGill University, has investigated the anti-cancer properties of a phenolic maple syrup extract. In an experiment, Dr Tufenkji and colleagues separated the sugar and water ...

Concentrated extract of maple syrup with common antibiotics could increase the microbes’ susceptibility, leading to lower antibiotic usage. Overuse of antibiotics fuels the emergence of drug-resistant ...

Through some sticky synergy, scientists are exploring a natural way to limit antibiotic doses. Although maple syrup may seem more appropriate for a breakfast buffet than the lab bench, researchers now ...

When it’s been concentrated, an extract of maple syrup weakens harmful bacteria, reducing their resistance to antibiotics, according to a new study at McGill University in Canada. Making microbes more ...

Toronto: Maple syrup extract may dramatically increase the potency of antibiotics, claim scientists who have found a natural way to prevent the creation of drug-resistant bacteria or "superbugs" by ...

Antibiotics have been helping us fight off infections for nearly a century. While the drugs kill plenty of dangerous bacteria, they've also spurred the creation of 'superbugs' that no longer respond ...

At the two-day symposium organized by the ACS, a group of international scientists shared promising results of 24 studies exploring the beneficial effects of natural products on the prevention of ...

SAN DIEGO, CA, March 15, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - As part of a two-day symposium at the annual meeting of the American Chemical Society, a group of international scientists shared promising results of 24 ...

MONTREAL, April 16 (UPI) --Everything's better with a little maple syrup. Even antibiotics. A new study showed maple syrup extract made bacteria more vulnerable to the germ-fighting effects of ...

Vanilla is one of America's most popular flavorings. It's derived from the seed pods of orchids and is used frequently in baked goods. Most often, bakers use vanilla in the form of vanilla extract.
