Researchers at the Osaka Dental University in Japan announced on the 22nd that they have developed a technique for diagnosing or predicting osteoporosis in the whole body based on the bone density of the jaw bone.
A team led by Gao Shijia, a lecturer at the Osaka Dental University, found that bone density in osteoporosis patients decreased earlier than in the lumbar spine. The team used 34 women aged 50 to 69 to take X-rays of the front molars and alveolar bones of the lower jaw, and then used computer-specific software to calculate bone density and predict whether they would develop bone. Porosity, the results prove that the accuracy is the same level as traditional precision inspection.
The new inspection method greatly simplifies the original precision inspection. Using a general dental X-ray film, it takes less than 5 minutes and costs hundreds of yen (about US$81) to get results.
Researchers say that using this technology, early detection and early treatment of osteoporosis can be achieved.

Genmaicha ("Brown rice tea"), is a Japanese brown rice green tea consisting of green tea mixed with roasted popped brown rice. It is sometimes referred to colloquially as "popcorn tea" because a few grains of the rice pop during the roasting process and resemble popcorn, or as "people's tea", as the rice served as a filler and reduced the price of the tea, making it more available for poorer Japanese. Today all segments of society drink genmaicha.It was also used by people fasting for religious purposes or who found themselves to be between meals for long periods of time.The sugar and starch from the rice cause the tea to have a warm, full, nutty flavor. It is considered easy to drink and to make the stomach feel better.Tea steeped from genmaicha has a light yellow hue. Its flavor is mild and combines the fresh grassy flavor of green tea with the aroma of the roasted rice. Although this tea is based on green tea, the recommended way to brew this tea is different: the water should be at about 80–85 °C (176–185 °F), and a brewing time of 3–5 minutes is recommended, depending on desired strength.
