Does late night eating cause weight gain?
The debate has gone back and forth with no real scientific evidence either way.
Sleep in and of itself plays a huge part in proper weight maintenance.
The accepted widom was that a calorie is just a calorie, however recent findings may have proven otherwise.
Although researchers have found that late night eating does cause weight gain they are not sure why.
The treatment of liver liver cancer is expensive, high tech and on the rise.
But that doesn’t address the issue fully.
African -Americans face obstacles such as, lack of insurance, information, community and family support.
There is also the issue of discrimination within the medical community toward minority patients.
American Cancer Society statistics have shown the following:
African Americans with liver cancer are less likely than whites to get a transplant for the disease, according to U.S. researchers.
About one in 100 men in the U.S. develop the cancer at some point, while women are less than half as likely to do so, according to the American Cancer Society
The researchers found that over the first half of the study, white liver cancer patients had a 30 percent chance of receiving a new liver, compared to only 15 percent for blacks.
Although there are probably several reasons for the disparity, the biggest driver is the difference in access to care at the early stages of the disease due to health insurance.
Labeling and marketing materials for hand sanitizers claim that they can prevent infection from disease-causing germs and viruses, and some claim to protect against E. coli and the H1N1 swine flu virus.
There is no proof to support these claims and the companies are marketing them in violation of federal law.
Federal regulators are warning companies that make over-the-counter hand sanitizers to stop exaggerating the bacteria-killing benefits of their products
Hand sanitizer and other over-the-counter products can’t prevent dangerous staph infections no matter what they claim, federal officials warned Wednesday.
The Food and Drug Administration ordered four companies that make such promises to change their marketing practices, arguing there is no proof the store-bought products prevent H1N1, MRSA or E. coli – as they suggest.
The products include Staphaseptic First Aid Antiseptic/Pain Relieving Gel, Safe4Hours Hand Sanitizing Lotion, Dr. Tichenor’s Antiseptic Gel and CleanWell All-Natural Hand Sanitizing Wipes.
The manufacturers were given 15 days to change labeling and marketing material or face seizure of products.
More than a dozen states have approved the of medical marijuana, which is not legal under federal law. About half of those states regulate medical marijuana dispensaries.
The ominous-sounding letters from U.S. attorneys in recent weeks have directly injected the federal government back into a debate that has for years been progressing at the state level. Warnings in Washington state led Gov. Chris Gregoire to veto a proposal that would have created licensed marijuana dispensaries.
The Department of Justice said two years ago that it would be an inefficient use of funds to target people who are in clear compliance with state law. But U.S. attorneys have said in their recent memos that they would consider civil or criminal penalties for those who run large-scale operations — even if they are acceptable under state law
The FDA wants to regulate electronic cigarettes as drug devices, just as nicotine gum and smoking cessation products are regulated. Electronic cigarettes are battery-powered tubes that turn nicotine-laced liquid into a vapor.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s announcement came after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued a decision that electronic cigarettes are not drugs or devices unless they are marketed for therapeutic purposes.
In 2009, the FDA was given the authority to regulate tobacco products that are not drugs or devices.
Electronic cigarettes, marketed under names such as NJOY, mimic the act of smoking and include nicotine, but do not emit the same type of odor or ash.
