ScienceDaily Oct. 24, 2013 — Exercise during gestation has the potential to program vascular health in offspring into their adulthood, in particular significantly altering the vascular smooth muscle, shows a new study published in the journal Experimental Physiology. The current guidelines for pregnant women recommend thirty minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most if not all days of the week. Unfortunately, not all physicians are yet convinced that exercise is beneficial for both the pregnant women and their offspring. The results of this study provide evidence that maternal exercise during pregnancy is a powerful programming stimulus in the arteries of the ...

Editors' Recommendations Spanking, Slapping Kids Linked to Subsequent Mental Illness Physical Punishment Harms Children’s Long-Term Development Child and Adolescent Psychiatry News & Perspectives More evidence shows that spanking can negatively influence a child's behavior, but the new research suggests that it can also impair cognitive development. A cohort study of nearly 2000 children showed that those who were spanked even a little at the age of 5 years by their mothers had significantly more externalizing behaviors, such as aggression and rule breaking, at the age of 9 years than those who did not experience maternal spanking. And this association remained ...

Gotta love the ol’ bait-and-switch.Free obama Promise them medical treatment (free medical treatment – or at least “affordable,” as the Obamanauts style it) and then force them to buy insurance. Hilarious! So why aren’t you laughing? Perhaps you are one of the not-dullards who understands that being forced to send an insurance company hundreds of bucks every month - and thousands every year – is not quite the same thing as securing the services of a doctor (or even a nurse). Much less not having to pay for them. Awareness is beginning to dawn. People who already had insurance they bought on their own (or secured via their employer on a voluntary basis) ...

Science Daily Oct. 24, 2013 — More and more scientific studies indicate that perfluorinated substances are carcinogenic or otherwise hazardous to health. In the Nordic countries, new per- and polyfluorinated substances are used to replace the known harmful ones.

An international workshop in Denmark co-organised by the National Food Institute, Technical University of Denmark, will focus on these substances on 27-29 October 2013.

Oral bacteria create a 'fingerprint' in your mouth by Emily Caldwell The bacteria in the human mouth – particularly those nestled under the gums – are as powerful as a fingerprint at identifying a person's ethnicity, new research shows. Scientists identified a total of almost 400 different species of microbes in the mouths of 100 study participants belonging to four ethnic affiliations: non-Hispanic blacks, whites, Chinese and Latinos. Only 2 percent of bacterial species were present in all individuals – but in different concentrations according to ethnicity – and 8 percent were detected in 90 percent of the participants. Beyond that, researchers found ...

BEIJING, Oct. 24 (Xinhua) -- In a country where food taboos are as rich as the culinary culture, you may get a well-meaning warning when you ask for fruit after a crab feast. Crab, according to Chinese folk sayings, will cause diarrhea when eaten with persimmon, and the list of its incompatible partners -- if regional varieties of the legend are counted -- also includes grapes, pears and many other fruits. Likewise, many other food pairings are described as harmful by the "conflict food" theory, including eggs and soya milk, and honey and Chinese onions. The idea is so popular in China that it appears in cookbooks, talk shows and even the "10 health tips" posted on ...

Most people have become aware of the dangers of Big Pharma. Prescription drugs now cause more deaths annually than illegal drugs, and the CDC director himself admits "it's a big problem, and it's getting worse." The AMA admits nearly 300 people are killed by prescription drugs every day. However, this danger also applies to our furry friends: our dogs, cats and other pets. In particular, one commonly prescribed arthritis drug which has been surrounded by controversy and caused a lot of deaths in canines is RIMADYL. Rimadyl had netted Pfizer Inc. tens of millions of dollars in sales but after numerous reports of dog deaths, the FDA said Pfizer must mention "death" ...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- Infants who were bottle fed were more likely to be at risk of developing hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS), a form of stomach obstruction, than those who were breastfed, U.S. researchers said Monday. The risk appears to be magnified when mothers are older and have had more than one child, researchers from the Seattle Children's Hospital in the U.S. state of Washington, reported in the U.S. journal JAMA Pediatrics. HPS typically occurs during an infant's first two months of life and surgery is needed to correct the obstruction, which occurs because of a thickening of the smooth muscle layer of the pylorus, the passage between the stomach and ...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) said Monday that it's to launch a large-scale clinical trial to investigate if a vitamin D supplement helps prevent or delay type 2 diabetes in adults who have prediabetes, and are at high risk for developing type 2. The multiyear study will include about 2,500 people and its goal is to learn if vitamin D, specifically D3 (cholecalciferol), will reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in adults aged 30 or older with prediabetes. People with prediabetes have blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. "Vitamin D use has risen sharply in the U.S. in the ...

Why Coke Is a Joke—New Ad Campaign Defends Aspartame August 28, 2013 | 307,690 views By Dr. Mercola Earlier this year, Coca-Cola Company rolled out an ad campaign encouraging people to unite in the fight against obesity. The irony of the situation was not lost on most people however, and the ads drew fire from consumers, consumer advocates and obesity experts1,2 alike. After all, there’s no doubt that soda is one of the primary beverages responsible for skyrocketing obesity rates, and Coke’s campaign was seen as little more than an effort in damage control. Soda sales are down, and Coca-Cola should be applauding this fact as it is matched by some small improvements ...

(NaturalNews) More than two weeks after the hoax launch of the fake "shell" website Healthcare.gov which did not function, the Obama administration has announced plans to bring in real programmers and attempt to build an online federal health exchange site that actually functions. A widely publicized HHS blog post calls this, "doing better," continuing the absurd lie that Healthcare.gov only suffered from minor glitches and small problems that need incremental "improvements." At no time has HHS acknowledged the fact that the Healthcare.gov website is structurally flawed and suffers from deep design failures that cannot simply be patched. The utter ...

America, get ready for some "shared responsibility." That's the rather benign-sounding term used by the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, to describe the financial penalties that millions of individuals in the U.S. could face if they don't purchase health insurance. Here are three important things you need to know about the Obamacare penalties before 2014. 1. Do the penalties apply to you? If you already have health insurance through your employer, you're off the hook. If you don't, you could be subject to Obamacare penalties if you don't have health insurance for most of next year.
