Children with high IQs more likely to use drugs as teens, adults By Karen Kaplan, Los Angeles Times/For the Booster Shots blog November 15, 2011, 1:12 p.m. Children with high IQs are more likely to use marijuana, cocaine, amphetamines and other illicit drugs as teenagers and adults, according to new data on nearly 8,000 British men and women who were tracked for more than three decades. Researchers from Cardiff University and University College London became interested in the question after other studies found that kids who scored high on intelligence tests were more likely than their peers to become heavy drinkers and alcoholics when they grew up. They found one study from the U.S. ...

The CDC betrays the public trust Thursday, November 17, 2011 by: Mark Sircus., AC, OMD (NaturalNews) One would think that public medical officials would be honest and on the ball with their tremendous responsibilities to protect the public. When you read this essay and what certain officials have done you will probably get mad. Really mad! In general I am against the death penalty as I am against killing of any kind. Though the Bible sanctions death and killing, it is clearly against murder and the taking of innocent life. We could argue all day about what some people clearly seem to deserve and we could argue about the legitimacy of many things from the Old Testament or anything else ...

Norwegian researchers have found that eating three kiwi fruits per day can significantly cuts blood pressure in people with mild hypertension. A new trial says the fuzzy-skinned kiwi fruit may outrun apple in warding off cardiovascular disease. The eight-week study led by Mette Svendsen of Oslo University Hospital involved 188 Norwegian adults who all had a mildly high blood pressure. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups either eating three kiwis or a proverbial apple a day. After about two months, the higher blood pressure measurement called systolic pressure was on average 3.6 millimeters of mercury lower in the kiwi group. According to the results presented at the ...

Doctors in London say they have cured a baby boy of a life-threatening disease which was destroying his liver. They implanted cells which acted like a temporary liver, allowing the damaged organ to recover. The team at King's College Hospital in south London say the technique is a world first. Eight-month-old Iyaad Syed now looks the picture of health - but six months ago he was close to death. A virus had damaged his liver causing it to fail. Instead of going on a waiting list for a transplant, doctors injected donor liver cells into his abdomen. These processed toxins and produced vital proteins - acting rather like a temporary liver. The cells were coated with a chemical found ...

Some call the findings, which were published in the journal Lancet, the field's "biggest breakthrough in a generation." Here's what you should know: Wait, this treatment helps after a heart attack? It does. Usually, the recovery phase after a heart attack is dangerous because of the possibility of heart failure, says ...
Potato chips taste great buyt toxic

To understand the nature of Pringles and other stackable chips, forget the notion that they come from actual potatoes in any recognizable way. The Pringles Company (in an effort to avoid taxes levied against "luxury foods" like chips in the UK) once even argued that the potato content of their chips was so low that they are technically not even potato chips. So if they're not made of potatoes, what are they exactly? The process begins with a slurry of rice, wheat, corn, and potato flakes that are pressed into shape. This dough-like substance is then rolled out into an ultra-thin sheet cut into chip-cookies by a machine. According to io9: "The chips move forward on a ...

Researchers suggest there may be a link between estrogen from oral contraceptives that has found its way into the environment and rising rates of prostate cancer among men around the world. In a study in the online publication BMJ Open, researchers at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto looked at the percentage of women using the pill, intrauterine devices, condoms and vaginal barrier contraceptives in 87 countries, then examined the incidence and deaths from prostate cancer. “Looking at these percentages, we find a strong correlation between female use of oral contraceptives at a population level and both new cases of prostate cancer and mortality from prostate cancer,” said ...
Natural health products need tougher standards - CMA

Vitamins, supplements and other natural health products should be subject to the same level of scrutiny as drugs in order to protect consumers, according to an editorial in Canada's leading medical journal. The editorial, published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, disputes the idea that vitamins, herbal remedies and similar products are safer than conventional drugs simply because they are natural. “The fact that's it's natural doesn't mean it's safe and it doesn't mean it's effective,” said Matthew Stanbrook, one of the authors of the editorial and deputy editor for scientific content at the journal. The central problem, according ...

Apparently there are not enough chemicals already added to our drinking water, as there is now a call by “experts” to further poison our water supplies by adding Lithium. Their main reason is to decrease suicide and violent crime rates. So it this how we wish to function as a society? Instead of dealing with our issues at hand, let’s drug ourselves so that we don’t have to deal with personal subjects that may be perceived as hard, negative or scary. This is not a time for putting our heads in the sand and pretending or even hoping that an issue will just resolve itself. Where is the personal growth in that? Don’t you feel elated when you resolve a personal issue ...
"Natural’ deli meats may not be as healthy as you think

Bacon, hot dogs, deli meats and other processed meats have long been considered guilty-pleasure foods that contain unhealthy preservatives, additives and any number of chemical ingredients. Now, food companies are trying to change that image by creating “natural” lines of processed meat products from real ingredients with no added preservatives. But consumers who look beyond the label may be surprised at what they find in these “natural” meats. A commercial for the Schneiders Country Naturals line asks: “What if natural ingredients were a promise, not a slogan?” It says the processed meats are “made with natural ingredients and no artificial additives or ...

Do you like your steak rare or well done? A new study suggests we may be biologically adapted to skip rare, still-bloody beef in favour of thoroughly cooked meat. Researchers have found meat provides more energy when it’s cooked, leading them to believe cooking played a key role in human evolution. Lead author Rachel Carmody, a Ph.D. candidate in the department of human evolutionary biology at Harvard University, and a team of researchers compared how different preparations can affect the energy value of food. Using mice as test subjects, they found that the energy the rodents gained was greater when their food was cooked than when it was pounded and consumed raw. The researchers ...
Sports Medicine Said to Overuse M.R.I.’s

Dr. James Andrews, a widely known sports medicine orthopedist in Gulf Breeze, Fla., wanted to test his suspicion that M.R.I.’s, the scans given to almost every injured athlete or casual exerciser, might be a bit misleading. So he scanned the shoulders of 31 perfectly healthy professional baseball pitchers. The pitchers were not injured and had no pain. But the M.R.I.’s found abnormal shoulder cartilage in 90 percent of them and abnormal rotator cuff tendons in 87 percent. “If you want an excuse to operate on a pitcher’s throwing shoulder, just get an M.R.I.,” Dr. Andrews says. He and other eminent sports medicine specialists are taking a stand against what they ...

An X-ray showing four magnets attached to each other inside a child's abdomen The US regulators have issued warning about high-powered magnets marketed as desktop toys and stress relievers for adults saying that they can pose deadly threats to children. The Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) warned parents on Thursday that the tiny magnets if swallowed by children can attract each other inside the body and cause small holes in the stomach and intestines, intestinal blockage, blood poisoning or other potentially fatal complications. The CPSC said it has been receiving reports of complications related to high-powered ball-bearing magnets since 2009 including one in 2009, seven ...

Tests Show Most Store Honey Isn't Honey Ultra-filtering Removes Pollen, Hides Honey Origins by Andrew Schneider | Nov 07, 2011 More than three-fourths of the honey sold in U.S. grocery stores isn't exactly what the bees produce, according to testing done exclusively for Food Safety News. The results show that the pollen frequently has been filtered out of products labeled "honey." The removal of these microscopic particles from deep within a flower would make the nectar flunk the quality standards set by most of the world's food safety agencies. The food safety divisions of the World Health Organization, the European Commission and dozens of others also ...

A Milwaukee Police Department search warrant for the East Knapp Street apartment where the man was held details his ordeal. The warrant authorized cops to seize an assortment of items from the residence, including “knives or other cutting instruments,” blood and ...

November 10, 2011 — Depression and previous suicide attempts may be significant predictors of heart disease mortality in young adults, according to new research. A large survey of more than 7000 participants younger than age 40 years found that those with a history of depression or attempted suicide were at a significantly increased risk for ischemic heart disease (IHD) death compared with those without. Although both sexes with these factors also had a higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, the risk for IHD death was 14 times higher in the women with than in those without the factors. "Our study found a profound role of psychological risk factors on premature ...

A new study says less salt intake may help high blood pressure control but it may also lead to an increase in blood cholesterol and the risk of blood clots. Recent findings question the long time belief that lowering sodium in daily diet may prevent high blood pressure or death due to heart disease. University of Copenhagen researchers say if you are not an excessive salt consumer, cutting down on salt can slightly raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of blood clots causing a heart attack or a stroke. A review of 67 previous studies involving over 40,000 people revealed that a reduced salt intake triggered a 2.5 percent rise in cholesterol levels and a 7 percent increase in a ...

Addictive as Cocaine, Fructose Fuels Cancer and Obesity as American Diet Staple Anthony Gucciardi Activist Post Fructose, a staple in the diet of many Americans, is continually being pegged by scientific research as a significant player in the development and spread of cancer. Furthermore, a growing number of studies are finding fructose, and the processed foods in which it is contained, to be as addictive as cocaine. With highly-popular fructose tied to obesity and cancer growth, is it any wonder that the health of American citizens is in decline? One new study, published in the Expert Opinion on Therapeutic Targets, analyzed the link between refined sugar consumption and cancer. What ...

Studies have elevated coffee to health-drink status by linking it to a reduced risk of dementia and Parkinson's disease. Dozens of findings have shown that alcohol and chocolate may have cardiac benefits. Sex, sleep, and a social life seem to have all-around benefits. Never has high living looked quite so healthful, although it's high living on a leash. The permission to indulge almost always comes with a reminder about doing everything in moderation. So here is a rundown of research we ran across thumbing through our dog-eared copies of The Archives of Hedonism and Health (fine, the journal name is fictitious, but the research cited below is not). Enjoy and be healthy - in that ...

Prescription drugs – more than 100 million Americans take them, often without question. But why? Despite decades of studies showing Rx drugs are potentially harmful, sometimes prompting drug recalls and news reports of needless deaths, most patients never question their doctor when given a prescription for an FDA-approved drug. True, many senior Americans are forced to forego filling their prescriptions for financial reasons, but they aren’t forgoing their medications because they perceive their medicines are problematic. Americans love to take pills. The average 75-year-old has three chronic conditions and uses five prescription drugs. Americans feel blessed they live in a ...
