Medscape... Consumption of saturated fats is not associated with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, coronary heart disease (CHD), ischemic stroke, or diabetes. In contrast, however, consumption of trans fats is associated with all-cause mortality, total CHD, and CHD mortality, according to a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. However, the authors caution that the results are confounded by heterogeneous evidence and methodological limitations. Russell J. De Souza, ScD, RD, from McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, and colleagues published their synthesis of observational evidence online August 11 in the BMJ. They focused their review on ...

Scotland Bans Growing GM Crops by Stephen Lendman Independent evidence shows GM foods and ingredients harm human health. All nations should ban them. UN General Assembly measures and international humanitarian laws say all nations are responsible for protecting the health, safety and welfare of their people. Harmful to human health GMOs should be universally banned. Scotland acted responsibly. More on its action below. Monsanto and other GMO producers own Congress and US administrations - no matter which party holds power. In late July, House members overwhelmingly passed the Orwellian Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act (HR 1599) critics call the Deny Americans the Right to Know ...

NEW YORK, Aug. 11 (UPI) -- Donated eggs frozen and used for in vitro fertilization lead to live births less often than those that have never been frozen, though researchers said the difference between the two is small. Researchers at the Center for Human Reproduction in New York reviewed data from the 380 fertility centers in the United States, which are responsible for 92 percent of all IVF cycles. The research is from 2013, the first year the American Society for Reproductive Medicine said that oocyte cryopreservation, or freezing donated eggs, was no longer considered an experimental procedure. In 2013, the researchers found that about 20 percent of the 11,148 IVF cycles performed ...

Ex-Merck employee turned anti-vaccine activist now terrorized by Big Pharma Black Ops branch Monday, August 10, 2015 by: Julie Wilson staff writer (NaturalNews) "We may need to seek them out and destroy them where they live," wrote a Merck & Co. employee who was actively plotting to murder or discredit doctors who had voiced concerns regarding the adverse health effects of an anti-inflammatory drug called Vioxx. Launched in 1999, Vioxx was extremely popular (with more than 80 million users worldwide), as its makers heralded the drug as being the answer to inflammation, minus the nausea that often follows with anti-inflammatory medication. It was later discovered that the ...

TORONTO, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Several studies show that hearing loss often goes untreated, leading to depression and other cognitive issues as it progressively gets worse, according to new research presented today at the American Psychological Association's annual conference. Introducing hearing loss patients to modern hearing aids, as well as newer technology such as hearing loops, can significantly alter what Dr. David Myers said is progressively negative path caused by not addressing the problem. "Many hard of hearing people battle silently with their invisible hearing difficulties, straining to stay connected to the world around them, reluctant to seek help," said Dr. David ...

I’ll bet that your food stockpile is missing something incredibly important. Conventional wisdom says that if you stockpile bulk foods like rice and beans, you’ll be good for the long haul. But that’s totally wrong. The 1st problem is that bulk foods are only good for a few years at the most. They’ll quickly expire and could get infected with bugs, rodents or worse. That’s exactly why my friend Frank created Food4Patriots to solve this problem because they last for an amazing 25 years. The 2nd problem is that even if you eat them before they expire, most bulk foods like rice and beans just won’t give you the nutrition and stamina you need to stay healthy. ...

Bioprosthetic Total Artificial Heart Implanted in First 2 Patients NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A new bioprosthetic total artificial heart has been successfully implanted in two male patients with end-stage heart disease, researchers from France report. Total artificial hearts (TAHs) have been around for more than four decades, but thromboembolic events related to their use remain a major issue. Dr. Alain Carpentier from Paris Descartes University, France, and colleagues developed their CARMAT TAH (C-TAH) with the reduction of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications in mind. They lined components in contact with blood with bovine pericardial tissue chemically treated with ...

'm Dr Gerald Chodak for Medscape. Today I want to talk about the possible effect of cycling on men who are going to get a serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. Jiandani and coworkers[1] conducted a literature review to find articles related to this topic. Eight studies met their inclusion criteria, of which six formed the basis of a meta-analysis. Unfortunately, there were only about 912 patients included in their overall analysis. Of the six studies in the meta-analysis, [one] found PSA increases as a result of cycling,[2] whereas [five] studies did not observe a significant difference.[3-7] The problem with the meta-analysis is that not only are the series quite small, but ...

A new summary of the science makes a strong case for occupational links to breast cancer and calls on Congress, regulators and researchers to pay more attention to chemical exposures and other risk factors. “Working Women and Breast Cancer: The State of the Evidence,” is the product of more than two years of work overseen by the San Francisco-based Breast Cancer Fund. A panel of experts reviewed scientific studies, most published in the past 25 years, and found ties between the disease and exposures to solvents; pesticides; tobacco smoke; ionizing radiation and other toxic materials. There also was an association with night shift work. “Research is inadequate, but there is ...

MONDAY, July 27, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Wide blood pressure fluctuations may signal an increased risk of heart disease and early death, researchers say. The large study of people taking blood pressure medication found that variations of more than 14 mm Hg in systolic blood pressure readings between doctor visits was linked to a 25 percent increased risk of heart failure. Systolic blood pressure is the top number in a blood pressure reading. "Patients should have their blood pressure controlled," said lead researcher Paul Muntner, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Alabama School of Public Health at Birmingham. "They should be aware that their blood pressure ...
Mechanism that allows melatonin to combat cancer cells discovered

Pravda... A research team from the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology (CNC), University of Coimbra (UC) in Portugal has discovered how melatonin may fight cancer cells, responsible for the development of cancer. Melatonin is a hormone whose characteristics allow it to reach any cell, adjust the sleep-wake cycle, maintain a healthy aging process and regulate the immune system. The results, as published in "Oncotarget" magazine, suggest that successful treatment based on melatonin depends on the activity of the cancer cells' mitochondria, which is responsible for producing their cellular energy. The energetic activity of the cell depends on its state of development, ...

The main ingredient in chili peppers has previously been found to have anti-inflammatory qualities. The most common form of spice used in Chinese cuisine is chili pepper. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Researchers have found that eating spicy foods several times per week can lower the risk of death by about 14 percent, and specifically lower the risk of dying from cancer, heart and respiratory diseases. While the statistical relationship was shown in the study, researchers caution that a cause and effect relationship between spicy foods and lower risk of death can't be inferred from the study. The main ingredient in chili peppers, capsaicin, has, however, been found in previous studies ...
Systemic Embolism in Atrial Fibrillation: Less Common Than Stroke but as Fatal

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — A new review based on data from four large contemporary trials of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) has shed light on the incidence, risk factors, and morbidity of extracranial systemic embolic events (SEEs)—a less common but often lethal outcome[1]. In this analysis of more than 30,000 patients, nine in 10 thromboembolic events were stroke and only one in 10 were systemic embolic events. Within 30 days of an extracranial systemic embolic event, 25% of the patients had died (the same mortality rate as stroke) and only 54% of patients had fully recovered. Thus, "clearly, these events are not benign and the adverse outcomes we observed suggest that SEEs ...

EDINBURGH, Scotland, Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Researchers have discovered how prions hijack a part of the immune system to spread from the gut, through the body, and to the brain where they cause deadly conditions such as mad cow disease in cattle and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease in humans. Understanding how prions, proteins that spread among humans and animals when they consume contaminated meat, move throughout the body could help doctors diagnose infection earlier. Prions are known to move through the body, making their way to the brain, where they disrupt neural activity, causing memory impairment, personality changes, and difficulties with movement, eventually killing their host. There is no ...

SEOUL (Reuters) - Tech giant Samsung Electronics Co Ltd said on Monday it will create a 100 billion won ($85.8 million) fund to compensate cancer-stricken workers and their families, and for efforts to prevention such diseases at its chip and display factories. Samsung said in a statement the fund will make payments to workers or families of those who became sick while working at its plants, including contractors. The fund would also pay for research, development of experts and other methods to improve worker safety. South Korean activist group Sharps, which represents many of the cancer-stricken workers, said on Monday it was aware of around 200 workers who had fallen ill after working ...
Prostate Cancer Divided Into Five Distinct Types

The great hope in prostate cancer is for a test that would differentiate between patients with aggressive disease who need intensive treatment from those patients with mild forms of the disease, who may not need treatment. Much effort has gone into looking for genetic markers that could do this, and now a team of researchers from the United Kingdom says they have made a breakthrough. They have identified five distinct genetic types of prostate cancer, and say that their classification performs better than previously reported genetic signatures and that it is better at identifying the most aggressive cancers than established clinical measures such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels ...

NORTHFIELD, Ill., Aug. 3 (UPI) -- The Kraft Heinz Company recalled 36,000 cases of individually wrapped Kraft Singles because the plastic used to wrap the cheese can become a choking hazard. The company issued the voluntary recall Friday after receiving 10 consumer complaints, including three people who had choked on the plastic. There is "the possibility that a thin strip of the individual packaging film may remain adhered to the slice after the wrapper has been removed," a news release from Kraft Heinz says. "If the film sticks to the slice and is not removed, it could potentially cause a choking hazard." The recall includes 3- and 4-pound cases of Kraft Singles ...

By blocking the expression of two genes, researchers were able to reverse the effects of fibrosis. As cells revert to embryonic forms in an attempt at self-protection, kidney cells turn blue as fibrosis spreads through the organ, causing eventual failure. HOUSTON, Aug. 3 (UPI) -- Injured adult cells in the body initiate a process present during embryonic cell development to protect themselves, but this effort at self-preservation often damages organs long-term. Researchers have found a way to reverse the embryonic cellular process called epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, or EMT, which they believe can reverse kidney disease. Fibrosis, a "runaway defense mechanism" of the ...
