Calories in Cafe drinks may be derailing your best efforts to lose or maintain your weight.
As innocent as that afternoon pick-me-up seems, fancy flavored lattes and baked goods are loaded with fat and calories.
Soon, calorie counts will be on display to help you make an informed decision when you order.
The hope is that seeing the fat and calorie counts will allow consumers to calculate whether or not those extra 300 or more extra calories fit into their daily intake allowance.
Parents failure to immunize their children could lead to conflict with pediatricians.
On one hand, doctors are there to treat everyone, and turning patients away leaves them still unvaccinated and without care. But an unvaccinated child who is carrying a virus is “literally a walking Typhoid Mary” who puts other children in a waiting room at risk.
Unvaccinated children who carry a disease infect those infants and smaller children who are too young to be inoculated and are therefore vulnerable to illness.
Grass roots efforts driven by students and faculty have helped colleges to ban smoking.
The University of Kentucky is one of more than 500 college campuses across the country that have enacted 100% smoke-free or tobacco-free policies as of July 1. Although policy enforcement varies from school to school, most prohibit smoking on all campus grounds, including athletic stadiums, restaurants and parking lots.
An increasing number of colleges adopted smoke-free or tobacco-free policies in the past few years, according to American Nonsmokers’ Rights Foundation Project Manager Liz Williams. In the past year alone, 120 campuses were added to the smoke-free list.
The Bird Flu or H5N1 strain is potentially making a resurgence.
The deadly flu is resistant to most recent vaccines and cases in China and Vietnam are causing concern.
The UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on Monday urged increased surveillance and preparation for a potential outbreak of the virus, which it says has infected 565 people since it first appeared in 2003, killing 331 of them.
The virus was eliminated from most of the 63 countries infected at its peak in 2006 after mass poultry culling, but since 2008 it has been expanding geographically in both poultry and wild birds, partly due to migration patterns.
Health risks for medical evacuees make many vulnerable as resources become compromised.
On Friday and Saturday, the city shifted thousands of patients out of low-lying hospitals and nursing homes in the projected path of the hurricane. The goal was to avoid a situation like the one after Hurricane Katrina, when vulnerable patients suffered or died after institutions in New Orleans lost power and evacuations took days.
Prestorm evacuations, however, came with their own risks, and difficulties were apparent over the weekend at hospitals and shelters. Eventually, the Promenade residents were accepted at the armory.
