Now, scientists at Imperial College London believe they could have been on to something.</DIV><BR /><DIV>Researchers have completed the first worldwide study of the metabolites (breakdown products) that are found in urine, reflecting the diet, inheritance and the lifestyle of the people from whom it came. They call such studies “metabolomics.” </DIV><BR /><DIV>The team believes that the research may provide the basis for a “metabolome-wide association” approach to help to understand interactions between lifestyles, environment and genes and how they determine diseases.</DIV><BR />For instance, the team has identified metabolites that are linked to high blood pressure, and others that are found in people with lower blood pressure who drink less and eat more fiber. <DIV id="ctl00_ctl00_ctl00_bcr_bcr_bcr_divSources"> <DIV class="VPNSKRACHI">Sources:</DIV><UL class="SourcesbulletArrow"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article3784842.ece" class="SourcesLnkAdmin" target="_blank">Times Online April 21, 2008</A></LI></UL><UL class="SourcesbulletArrow"><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/abs/nature06882.html" class="SourcesLnkAdmin" target="_blank">Nature April 20, 2008</A></LI></UL> </DIV> </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/10/scientists-say-medieval-beliefs-in-urine-may-contain-drops-of-truth.aspx?source=nl"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/articles.mercola.com/img/545A282C-48DE-4D43-BC29-AA8BCA76E73A" alt="Dr. Mercola" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/10/scientists-say-medieval-beliefs-in-urine-may-contain-drops-of-truth.aspx?source=nl">most basic level</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/10/scientists-say-medieval-beliefs-in-urine-may-contain-drops-of-truth.aspx?source=nl"><A href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2000/11/26/urine-color.aspx">the color of your urine can tell you two things</A>:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/05/10/scientists-say-medieval-beliefs-in-urine-may-contain-drops-of-truth.aspx?source=nl">1.
