BPA is the chemical found in the coatings of various food containers and is consumed when the chemical is released into the food during heating. Looking at blood samples from pregnant women who were admitted to hospital for delivery, as well as amniotic fluid from the fetuses, they found that women who had higher levels of BPA in their bloodstream were more likely to have a preterm birth than women who recorded lower levels. The team published their study in The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine. […]

Breaking: CDC whistleblower claims agency has been using wrong Zika test

[…]public health labs about the test and began shipping it. Lanciotti compared the two tests and found that Trioplex missed 39 percent of Zika infections that were detected by Singleplex. An independent lab came to the same conclusion. A study by the CDC lab in Puerto Rico found no difference in sensitivity. Lanciotti disagreed with the decision and in mid-April, he emailed his contacts at about 30 public health laboratories. The CDC notified the state labs about which tests were recommended but didn’t address the differences in performance directly. In mid-May, Lanciotti emailed senior CDC leaders and asked again that the […]

It’s an inflammation reducer- Chaga is also able to reduce inflammation thanks to its ability to “suppress the expression of chemical mediators of inflammation.”  5. It improves […]

ABC: Antacids, Antibiotics for Infants Linked to Later Allergies

[…]believe that this may happen because the drugs alter their gut bacteria. They also found that an early use of antibiotics also raised the chances of allergies later in life. Looking at the health records of children born between 2001 and 2013 who were covered by Tricare (insurance program for active duty and retired military personnel and their families), the team found that 9 percent of the babies received antacids. Over the course of four years, “more than half of all the children developed allergies to foods or medications, rashes, asthma, hay fever or other allergic diseases.” While the study couldn’t […]

Study finds a Ketogenic diet may aid mental health treatment

[…]than those on a normal diet. Long used to help manage epilepsy in children, the group found that behaviors like hyperactivity, social withdrawal, and memory deficits happened less frequently. This discovery led Sarnyai and his colleagues to, “hypothesize that this same process of providing an alternative energy source for the body could be circumventing pathways in the brain – in particular, the abnormally functioning cellular energy pathways that are suspected to cause the mental health problems that characterize schizophrenia, including hallucinations, delusions, and muddled thoughts.” Using this new diet the majority of a person’s energy would come from fat; dieters would consume butter, […]

Forbes: Walmart workers cost taxpayers $6.2 billion in public assistance

[…]for Tax Fairness” (a coalition of 400 national and state-level progressive groups) found, “The study estimated the cost to Wisconsin’s taxpayers of Walmart’s low wages and benefits, which often force workers to rely on various public assistance programs. It found that a single Walmart Supercenter cost taxpayers between $904,542 and $1.75 million per year, or between $3,015 and $5,815 on average for each of 300 workers.”  The coalition then took the mid-point of that range, $4,415, and multiplied it by Walmart’s approximately 1.4 million workers to come up with an estimate of the overall taxpayers’ bill. So, is Wal-Mart really […]

Fat intake linked to skin cancer risk

[…]melanoma, 2,223 SCC, and 17,556 BCC cases, and 736 melanoma, 1,756 SCC, and 13,092 BCC cases were found in the NHS and HPFS studies, respectively. No association between total fat intake and risk of skin cancer was identified in the two prospective studies. Data showed that the risk for developing SCC and BCC was associated with a higher intake of polyunsaturated fats. While the risks of SCC, BCC, and melanoma were associated with a higher omega-6 fat intake, omega-3 dietary fat intake was found to be associated with risk of BCC but not with SCC or melanoma. No other fats […]

The hunt for PFAS turns to Michigan farms using human waste as fertilizer

[…]parts per trillion (ppt). At the front end of the report was the city of Lapeer. State officials found PFOS in Flint River fish that led them to the wastewater plant and a chrome plating company in the city. This industrial contamination allowed 2,000-ppt of PFOS to flow into the river from the plant. This resulted in PFOS showing up in the city’s biosolids at 2,100 parts per billion (ppb), which is a much greater amount. Lapeer had been land-applying that waste, including on a nearby field it leased to a farmer who, until 2018, grew soybeans. A portion of […]

Sunlight May Reduce Risk of Nearsightedness

[…]health and behavior over the years, estimating exposure to ultraviolet B rays.” The team found: Those with the highest UVB exposure, especially as teenagers and young adults, had around a 30 percent lower risk for myopia than those with the lowest exposure. When a subject had more schooling their risk of nearsightedness increased, by double. People with the highest blood levels of lutein, a nutrient found in leafy vegetables, had a 43 percent reduced risk of nearsightedness compared with those with the lowest levels. Obviously more study needs to be done but in general, it seems that spending time outdoors […]

A new study says taking a hot bath burns as many calories as a 30-minute walk

[…]water, with the goal of raising the body’s core temperature by one degree. What they found was that while cycling burned many more calories (not surprising) relaxing in the hot bath burned 130 calories, about the amount burned on a half-hour walk. Researchers also tracked the blood sugar of the participants for 24 hours after the tests and found that “peak blood sugar was around 10 percent lower when a bath was taken in place of the bike ride. The bath also seemed to have the same effect as exercise when it came to the anti-inflammatory response post-activity for each of […]

[…]homes without plants, in areas void of vegetation.” How Does Green Impact Health? This link found between mortality rate and the number of green plants is based on several different research-backed components. Those who surround themselves with plants clearly demonstrate a much lower level of depression. Additionally, those who own plants or live near them actually have “increased opportunities for social engagement, higher levels of physical activity and reduced exposure to air pollution.” Just one of these results is good enough to suggest a move to the country, but all of them present some pretty hefty encouragement!

Roundworms revived after being frozen 42,000 years, start moving around and eating

[…]nearby have been radiocarbon dated to be around 32,000 years old. A second viable nematode was found in a permafrost sample approximately 41,700 years old collected around 11 feet below the surface.” Researchers say they used proper sterility procedures during the collection and transportation of the samples and noted that seasonal thawing wouldn’t have reached the depths at which these nematodes were found, which would severely limit sample movement or an introduction of present-day nematodes. Therefore, if these findings are legitimate, it might help researchers understand how some species survive such extreme temperatures and how these particular nematodes have evolved […]
