Drug-resistant staphylococcus has been found in 47 perecent of meat sold in the U.S.
The staph bacteria is linked to a range of health problems from rashes and respiratory ailments to potentially fatal illnesses such as sepsis and endocarditis.
The meat industry is putting American health at risk everyday.
There can be no viable healthcare without serious reform of the FDA and it’s negligent oversight of the food industry.
Panic attacks may be symptoms of an anxiety disorder and they are a serious health problem.
A study shows that an extra dose of the stress hormone cortisol may help reduce stress
Our brain triggers the release of cortisol when we are under stress.
This hormone is believed to play a role in memory and learning.
Taking a dose of cortisol has been seen to calm fears and anxiety.
“Considering the importance of extinction learning for exposure therapy, pharmacological interventions aimed at enhancing extinction processes are promising approaches to enhance exposure therapy,” write researcher Dominique J.-F. de Quervain of the University of Basel, Switzerland, and colleagues in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
As an apple lover I was really happy to hear that eating one or two apples a day may reduce the risk of heart disease.
Like any fruits there are nutritional benefits to eating them.
However, apples in particular seem to have certain properties which allay the onset of cardio-vascular disease.
“We were pleasantly surprised …” that apples so effectively lowered LDL (bad) cholesterol, says study researcher Bahram H. Arjmandi, PhD, RD, Margaret A. Sitton Professor and Chair, Department of Nutrition, Food and Exercise Sciences at The Florida State University in Tallahassee.
“When we look at the whole composite of human studies and animal studies and in vitro lab studies, when you look at the active components in apples and apple juice, there’s definitely benefit,” says Dianne A. Hyson, PhD, RD, a nutritionist and researcher at the University of California at Davis.
MRI measurements of the brain could be a helpful diagnostic tool for determining who is at risk for developing Alzheimer’s dementia.
Researchers have found that there is a considerable amount of brain shrinkage which can be detected up to a decade before symptoms of Alzheimer’s appear.
“The magnetic resonance measurements could be very important indicators to help identify who may be at risk of developing Alzheimer’s dementia,” Leyla deToledo-Morrell of Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, who worked on the study, said in a statement.
“If a drug therapy or treatment is developed in the future, those who are still without symptoms but at great risk would benefit the most from treatment,”
Illinois would be the second state to enact a ban of trans fats if the senate approves the bill and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn does indeed sign it.
California was the first state officially ban the use of trans fats and other cites and municipalities around the country have followed.
Health costs are crippling many state economies and a ban on trans fats is seen as a way to alleviate some of that burden.
The health risks of trans fats are well known and limiting their use could only improve overall health of the population.
Legislation that passed the Illinois House on Wednesday would ban artery-clogging trans fats in food served in restaurants, movie theaters, cafes and bakeries or sold in school vending machines, starting in 2013. School cafeterias would be affected in 2016. Most prepackaged food would not be covered.
