A new study from Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health finds that kids and teens who are raised with religious or spiritual practices tend to have better health and mental health as they age. But not to worry if you’re not a service-attender. The research, published last week in the American Journal of Epidemiology, finds that people who prayed or meditated on their own time also reaped similar benefits, including lower risk of substance abuse and depression later on. The team looked at data from 5,000 people taking part in the long-term Nurses' Health Study II and its next generation Growing Up Today Study (GUTS). They were interested in whether the frequency with ...

The credibility of scientific findings hinges on their reproducibility. As a scientist, it is therefore disastrous when you are unable to replicate your own findings. Our laboratory has found itself in just this situation several times; in each instance, unintended environmental exposure distorted our data. Our first accidental foray into toxicology 20 years ago convinced us of the need to understand the reproductive effects of environmental chemical contaminants. The latest twist in our journey down that road adds a new dimension to an old concern, BPA. Bisphenol A, or BPA, is a man-made chemical that has become a household word. It is a plasticizer used in such a wide range of ...

Seldom does a week go by without articles, internet posts, and advertisements which maintain that Nobel Laureate Otto Warburg discovered that cancer was caused by low oxygen and acidic pH. Though often misreported, Dr. Otto Warburg did not win the Nobel Prize for finding that cancer cannot live in an oxygen rich or alkaline environment. What Warburg discovered and what he was awarded a Nobel Prize for was for simply making the discovery that low oxygen was characteristic of cancer cells.

The Grapes of Wrath and its vision of enslavement to big agribusiness isn't just our past—it is our present too. “It’s like watching a state circle the drain.” That’s what journalist Corie Brown said about Kansas on a recent Strong Towns podcast. This April, Brown wrote a piece for New Food Economy about her 1,800-mile drive through the state. She discussed the state’s emptying out, noting firsthand the struggles of rural towns and the farms surrounding them. “That’s the thing about rural Kansas: No one lives there, not anymore,” she wrote. “The small towns that epitomize America’s heartland are cut off from the rest of the ...

SCMP... At least seven patients in Beijing who doctors said had “no hope” of regaining consciousness were re-evaluated by an artificial intelligence system that predicted they would awaken within a year. They did. One 19-year-old patient spent six months with unresponsive wakefulness syndrome – formerly known as being in a vegetative state — after an accident caused a severe injury to his left temple. Some of China’s best neurologists conducted four rounds of assessments on his potential for recovery and gave him seven out of 23 points on a coma recovery scale, a score which meant his family had a legal right to unplug his life support.

When you should eat breakfast—and when you can probably skip it Julissa Treviño 1 day ago © Pixabay breakfast food Though research on the impact of breakfast has focused on short-term effects, rather than long-term impacts, as of now, there’s no conclusive evidence that skipping it is damaging to your health. Since childhood, we’ve constantly been told that breakfast—compared to all other meals—is by far the most important one. But research hasn’t always shown that to be true, leading many researchers and dietitians to suggest that whether or not you eat first thing in the morning is more about personal preference and less about getting a ...

Is farm-raised salmon really toxic?

Wellness When it comes to choosing healthy fish, one of my top recommendations is wild-caught Alaskan salmon. It has a mild taste and meaty texture that makes it an easy fish for people to like. Plus, it tends to stay moist and tender once it’s cooked up. However, I often find that when patients can’t locate wild-caught Alaskan salmon at the supermarket fish counter, they frequently opt for the more readily available farm-raised salmon. After all, salmon is salmon, right? Not exactly. When you buy farm-raised fish, you’re buying a lot more than a piece of fish. You’re also investing in some pretty nasty chemicals, antibiotics and other compounds that have no place in ...

LONDON, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- Researchers have developed a new technology that can flag patients at risk of deadly heart attacks years before they occur, according to a study released on Tuesday by the University of Oxford. Researchers at the University of Oxford, working with colleagues in Germany and the United States, have demonstrated a technology that is capable of detecting the inflamed plaques that are prone to cause heart attacks by analyzing computed tomography (CT) images of the fat surrounding the arteries. It has been shown that the most dangerous plaques release chemical messengers which modify the surrounding fat. Heart attacks are usually caused by inflamed plaques in the ...
