10 riskiest foods |
The
Center
for
Science
in the
Public
Interest
(CSPI)
recently
issued a
list of
the top
10
riskiest
foods
regulated
by the
FDA,
based on
the
number
of
related
outbreaks
of
food-borne
illness
reported
since
1990.
Although
it may
seem
counterintuitive,
the list
of
offenders
included
a fair
share of
“healthy”
foods,
such as
spinach,
berries
and
tomatoes.
The
severity
of the
effects
tracked
by the
FDA
ranged
from
minor
stomach
aches to
death.
In the
case of
leafy
greens,
the
number-one
riskiest
food,
the
associated
illnesses
were
attributed
to
pathogens
such as
E. coli,
norovirus
and
Salmonella.
Salmonella
was also
cited as
the
primary
culprit
in
outbreaks
involving
eggs,
cheese
and
tomatoes,
whereas
potatoes
were
linked
with
both E.
coli and
Salmonella.
According
to the
CSPI,
here are
the top
10
riskiest
foods
currently
regulated
by the
FDA, in
descending
order:
|
1. leafy greens
2. eggs
3. tuna
4. oysters
5. potatoes
6. cheese
7. ice cream
8. tomatoes
9. sprouts
10. berries

January, 2010 | | Daily Dose of Nuts Reduces Cancer Risk | | A diet that incorporates a daily dose of pistachios may help reduce the risk of lung and other cancers. "It is known that vitamin E provides a degree of protection against certain forms of cancer,” Ladia M. Hernandez, M.S., R.D., L.D., senior research dietitian in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, was quoted as saying. Higher intakes of gamma-tocopherol, a form of vitamin E, may reduce the risk of lung cancer. "Pistachios are a good source of gamma-tocopherol,” said Hernandez. “Eating them increases intake of gamma-tocopherol so pistachios may help to decrease lung cancer risk." Pistachios are known to be heart-healthy. They have a cholesterol-lowering effect and provide the antioxidants typically found in food products of plant origin. Hernandez and colleagues conducted a six-week, controlled clinical trial to determine whether the consumption of pistachios would increase serum levels of gamma-tocopherol. "Because epidemiologic studies suggest gamma-tocopherol is protective against prostate cancer, pistachio intake may help," she said. "Other food sources that are a rich source of gamma-tocopherol include nuts such as peanuts, pecans, walnuts, soybean and corn oils." | The study, conducted at Texas Woman's University -- Houston Center, included 36 healthy participants who were randomized into either a control group or the intervention group, which ate a pistachio diet. After an initial baseline period, the intervention group was given about 2 ounces of pistachios per day. The control group continued with their normal diet. Hernandez and colleagues found a significant increase in energy-adjusted dietary intake of gamma-tocopherol at weeks three and four in those on the pistachio diet. For those on the pistachio diet, cholesterol-adjusted serum gamma-tocopherol was significantly higher at the end of the intervention period. "Pistachios are one of those 'good-for-you' nuts, and 2 ounces per day could be incorporated into dietary strategies designed to reduce the risk of lung cancer without significant changes in body mass index," said Hernandez.

December, 2009 | | Making Waves: Two New Exercise Trends | | Crunches, leg lifts, and planks can get tedious and difficult, but now, two new exercise programs are changing the way both the young and the old get in shape. Waving wands or waving ropes, workouts come in many forms. With ropes gone wild, you don't even have to leave the floor. It's a program that incorporates strength, cardio and core work -- with no impact. "The kids get wild with it," Anthony DiLuglio, creator of Ropes Gone Wild told Ivanhoe.
“They work out, and they have fun. It's like play. We are creating play." Diluglio says the concept is based on undulation -- or making wave patterns. He got the idea from an Israeli soldier, "he said the soldiers used to do this to release anxiety out in the field." Diluglio thought it could help out in gym classes around the country, so he combined undulation exercise with push-ups to make kids stronger, physically. "Now, I am strong," participant Sofia Silveira told Ivanhoe. It also made an impact mentally. “Happy because you know you conquered the ropes," Riley Rancourt explained to Ivanhoe. | Conductor David Dworkin is proving seniors can benefit from the power of music and moving. "I can remember certain performances where I was actually tingling," Dworkin explained. Although he retired after more than 50 years in the business, Dworkin was not ready to give up his wand. That's when he decided to spread this mind-body connection to other seniors, calling it conductorcise. Participant Gloria Marshall explained the program to Ivanhoe, "You feel the motion, and of course, the music and the rhythm. It was great." "It made me feel young. It made me feel good," Christian Reiss described. It's part aerobics, and part symphony. "They don't think it's exercise, but they are really increasing their pulse rate," Dworkin described. Whether you're a senior or a junior, making waves can make a difference. Both programs offer training courses, so others can teach in their area.

November, 2009 | | Antioxidants: Bad for Your Health? | | Antioxidants fight off oxidative damage to our body and build up our immune system to keep us healthy, but some researchers say these benefits aren't reason enough to supplement daily. New studies show antioxidants may not be as healthy as we believe. As our bodies create oxygen, reactive oxygen species (ROS) -- or free radicals -- are said to damage our internal organs, increasing risks for diseases including insulin resistance and diabetes. Researchers at Monash University in Australia say in a recent study that this may not be accurate. The researchers believe antioxidant’s effects may actually increase the risk for diabetes. The study found low levels of ROS, specifically hydrogen peroxide, may actually improve your ability to respond to insulin signals. Promotion of insulin response decreases the risk for diabetes. Antioxidants work to prevent such processes. | Lab mice with a deficiency that kept physiological ROS high in their systems didn't become insulin resistant when fed a high-fat diet. When the mice were given antioxidants, they developed signs of diabetes. Tony Tiganis of Monash University was quoted as saying, “In a way, we think there is a delicate balance and that too much of a good thing -- surprise, surprise -- might be bad.” Tiganis recommends healthy people do not take daily antioxidant vitamins, but exercise to naturally promote insulin action.

October, 2009 | | Silence the Ringing in Your Ears | | Fifty million people live every day with ringing in their ears. It's called tinnitus, and there is no cure. A new treatment could silence the ringing and give thousands of sufferers relief. Dentist George Magulak has been cleaning teeth and filling cavities for 27 years. He spends 200 days a year at the office. That's about 54,000 mouths he's seen up close in his career. "I have never looked back," Dr. Magulak told Ivanhoe. "For me, it's been everything I hoped a career would be." Dr. Magulak was working when he heard a sudden pop in his right ear. "[It was] a classic pop, like a Walt Disney pop," Dr. Magulak said. That's when the ringing began. "Maybe if you lost the picture in the old TVs and you heard that white noise," Dr. Magulak said. George lost his hearing in one ear and now suffers from tinnitus. It's considered more than just an auditory condition. Tinnitus is also neurological because when hearing loss occurs, the brain compensates by internally producing sound. It's also considered a psychological condition because of the stress caused by the constant ringing. There's no known cure, but now audiologists are silencing Dr. Magulak's tinnitus using sound. | "It has soothing music in it matching the resting heart rate," Karrie Slominski, Au.D., an audiologist at Henry Ford Medical Center in Clinton, Mich., told Ivanhoe.h FDA-approved neuromonics sound therapy stimulates the brain to filter out the tinnitus sound. "There's an underlying shower sound in it to help the patients get immediate relief from the ringing so that they can go about their daily business," Dr. Slominski said. The ringing then becomes background noise and not so disturbing. Patients wear the device from two to four hours a day. After six months of treatment, the latest clinical trials show significant symptom reduction for 91 percent of patients. "I noticed right away," Dr. Magulak said. "It was immediate." Although he still hears ringing, Dr. Magulak says it's much quieter now and it doesn't interrupt his life or his work -- and if he needs it, he knows where to go to get some relief. The neuromonics device is only available through prescription and costs about $5,000. Insurance companies don't cover the cost because they consider tinnitus treatments experimental.

September, 2009 | | Fight Cancer at the Dinner Table | | Cancer is the second leading cause of death, but some experts say the easiest and least expensive way to reduce your risk for the disease is with a healthy diet. Mom always said drink your milk. Now research shows, she was right. A new study shows women who get most of their calcium from low-fat dairy products cut their risk of stomach, esophageal and colon cancers by 23 percent. Experts recommend getting 1,300 milligrams of calcium a day. Foods with vitamin D -- like salmon, eggs and vitamin fortified juices -- also help slow the growth of cancer cells. | "There's been some 17 cancers that may be related to vitamin D deficiencies," Kenneth Cooper, M.D., a preventive medicine physician at the cooper Clinic in Dallas, told Ivanhoe. Adequate vitamin D can cut your risk of breast cancer in half. When preparing your next meal, keep this in mind that the American Institute for Cancer Research recommends filling your plate two-thirds full with fruit, veggies, whole grains and beans.

August, 2009 | | Hypertension Hampers Blood Flow to the Brain | | Anger may make you red in the face, but new research shows that rush of blood may be cut off by high blood pressure -- posing a potential risk to the brain. The University of Southern California and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center evaluated 30 healthy volunteers (19 to 60 years of age) and 28 patients with high blood pressure (38 to 64 years of age). Participants took part in numerous tasks provoking anger and mental stress involving reading and arithmetic. Researchers used ultrasound imaging to analyze carotid artery reactivity and brain blood flow in response to the mental stress. In the healthy volunteers, mental stress caused vasodilatation and a net increase in brain blood flow. These results were absent in the patients with high blood pressure. | "Inappropriate vasoconstriction, or lack of dilation in response to mental stress in stable coronary heart disease, contributes to the genesis of myocardial ischemia and confers an increased risk in patients with coronary artery disease. " Tasneem Naqvi, M.D., of the University of Southern California and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, was quoted as saying. "It will be interesting to see whether the lack of mental-stress-induced dilation we found defines subjects at increased risk of future cerebral events."

July, 2009 | | Mediterranean Foods Promote Longevity | | The Mediterranean diet is well known for making people live longer, but new research reveals the individual components of the diet which promote longevity. Professor Dimitrios Trichopoulos at the Harvard School of Public Health surveyed over 23,000 participants on lifestyle and diet. Participants were interviewed over a period of 8.5 years. Researchers found key Mediterranean foods to promote health and a longer life are vegetables, fruits, nuts, pulses, and olive oil. | Researchers recommend limiting the amount of meat you eat, and moderating alcohol intake. The study also shows that a diet high in fish, seafood, and cereals, and low in dairy does not necessarily indicate longevity. SOURCE: BMJ online |

June, 2009 | | Growing New Knees | | It's that painful pop or snap more than 80,000 Americans hear every year. ACL tears often mean surgery to repair cartilage and months of rehab, but even that doesn't always ease the pain. The answer for knee injuries may be growing in the lab. Lisa Groom takes on the San Francisco hills with confidence. But not long ago, a knee injury while playing tennis kicked her off the court. "I hit the shot and won the game, and I collapsed onto the ground," Groom told Ivanhoe. "I felt my tibia push out the side of my leg totally." She tore her ACL and destroyed her knee cartilage. The damage meant months of pain. "It can overtake you," Groom said. "I would be awake all night on and off feeling it." The tissue can't re-grow itself -- meaning treatment options are limited. "Cartilage cells are very lazy cells," Benjamin Ma, M.D., Chief of Sports Medicine and Shoulder Surgery at the University of California in San Francisco, Calif., told Ivanhoe. | Traditional procedures remove damaged cartilage but can't replace it. But Dr. Ma is helping develop new surgery that can replace it -- with a patch made of a patient's own cells. Surgeons remove a sample of the patient's knee cartilage through a 10- to 15-minute outpatient procedure. That cartilage is then sent to the lab, attached to a 3-D scaffold made of collagen, and grown for eight to 10 weeks. Then, the cartilage "patch" is implanted into the patient's knee. "You're actually putting articular cartilage back into the knee, and you're not taking it from somewhere else," Dr. Ma said. It's a more natural way of healing injuries that means patients can give their knees a new start. Following the Neocart procedure, patients have to keep off their leg for six weeks. The procedure doesn't work for arthritis. Dr. Ma says he plans to grow larger pieces of cartilage so doctors could potentially heal an entirely worn out knee.

May, 2009 | | 8 Foods to Die For | | We all know the drill; Avoid fats, carbs, and sugar if you want to stay healthy and slim. But what foods could be holding you back? Here are eight foods that could be hurting your health and waistline. Cheese fries top our list. An order from a popular restaurant has 2,900 calories, 182 grams of fat and hardly any nutritional value! Fried desserts are another worst. Donuts are made up of about 40 percent trans fat. Guidelines suggest we shouldn't have any trans fats. "You're dipping something in batter that is already high in calorie, high in fat, high sugar," Sarah Krieger, R.D., M.P.H., LD/N, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association in Tampa, Fla., told Ivanhoe. Soda is number three. One can has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories and is loaded with artificial colors. A large serving of movie theatre popcorn with butter has more than 1,000 calories. One study showed you'll eat nearly twice as much out of a large bucket than a medium! It's no surprise that bacon cheeseburgers made our list. One can have more than 1,100 calories and 85 grams of fat. Crackers, breads and other "white" foods come in at number six. | "White flour, in the human body, is handled exactly like if you sat there and ate sugar out of the bowl," Ann Kulze, M.D., a nutrition and wellness expert in Charleston, SC, told Ivanhoe. Ramen noodles are number seven. One serving has 780 grams of sodium. "They are deep-fried noodles," Krieger said. "They do not have any protein in them." Last, but not least: that sugary coffee is one of the worst. "It can go from something that's zero calories to something that's over 700 calories very easily," Sherri Flynt, R.D., Community Relations Manager for Florida Hospital Center of Nutritional Excellence in Orlando, Fla., told Ivanhoe. Eight foods to avoid if you can! Some of the best foods to eat? Nutrition experts say load up on foods that are high in nutrients, protein and fiber. Some of the best include blueberries, oatmeal, salmon, almonds, low-fat yogurt and dark greens like spinach or kale. SOURCE: American Dietetic Association |

Fish Eating Frenzy
|
|
New research
shows recent recommendations to eat more fish may not be best
for us -- or for fish! Omega-3 fatty acids, found naturally in
fish like salmon, mackerel and herring, have been praised for
reducing the risk of coronary heart disease and some cancers.
This prompted health agencies and doctors alike to urge the
public to consume two- to three-times more fish to achieve these
health benefits. However, researchers say while some studies
have shown health benefits from omega-3 fatty acids,
insignificant attention has been paid to studies that do not
show these benefits, perhaps misleading the public into eating
too much fish.
Increased consumption of fish has also taken its toll on the
fish population. In fact, since the 1980s, more than 100 cases
of marine extinctions have been reported around the world.
|
Poorer countries are also suffering from America’s new love of fish; fisheries around the world are diverting their declining stocks to more affluent developed nations, causing serious consequences for those in poorer countries and costal communities.
These trends
imply the collapse of all commercially exploited stocks by
mid-century," the authors wrote. "Yet the dire status of
fisheries resources is largely unrecognized by the public, who
are both encouraged to eat more fish and are misled into
believing we live in a sea of plenty."

7 Sleep Myths |
|
You spend
one-third of your life sleeping. Not getting the right amount or
the right quality of rest can wreak havoc on your health, but
there are a lot of myths surrounding the crucial habit. Here are
seven misconceptions about sleep that may surprise you.
It's the way we rest, relax and recharge our bodies. How much
do you need? Myth number one -- more is always better.
"You'll find that they really need between seven and a half to
eight and a half hours [of sleep]," Robert Thornton, M.D., sleep
medicine specialist and co-medical director of the Florida
Hospital Center for Sleep Disorders in Orlando, Fla., told
Ivanhoe.
Too much sleep has been linked to diabetes and depression. Some
studies have found people who sleep more than nine hours a night
die younger -- but if you don't get enough, can you make up sleep?
While sleeping in one morning may seem to help, it often makes it
more difficult to fall asleep that night and each night after
that.
"If you're doing it on a chronic basis, it's going to catch up
with you," Dr. Thornton said.
|
What about naps? It's a myth that naps are no good, but don't
sleep longer than an hour, and don't nap after 3 p.m.
Myth number four -- snoring is normal. Chronic snoring can put
you at risk for heart disease, sleep apnea, high blood pressure
and diabetes. Another myth -- you need less sleep as you age.
"We need the same amount of sleep as we get older," Dr. Thornton
said. "We don't typically get quite as much deep sleep."
Myth number six -- waking up during the night means you didn't
sleep well.
"That depends on how long it takes you to get back to sleep,"
Dr. Thornton said.
You're OK if you fall back asleep within a few minutes. The
final myth -- insomnia is always caused by worry. While that's
true for some, persistent insomnia is often caused by depression,
asthma, arthritis or other medical conditions.

Turn off the TV to
Prevent Diabetes |
|
Looking for a
simple way to prevent diabetes? Turn off the TV and put on your
walking shoes.
Type 2 diabetes impacts 20.6 million Americans, and
African-American women make up a significant percentage of that
population. A new study suggests if those women would reduce the
time they spent watching television and increased the time they
spent walking briskly or engaging in another vigorous activity,
they could drastically reduce their risk of developing diabetes.
Researchers from Boston University's Slone Epidemiology Center
examined data collected in the Black Women's Health Study, an
ongoing study of African-American women from across the U.S. The
researchers found that vigorous activity was inversely associated
with a reduced risk of diabetes. Brisk walking for at least five
hours per week was also linked to a reduced risk of diabetes
compared with no walking at all.
|
The study also found a big reason to turn off the TV. Even in
those women who frequently watched TV but were still physically
active, they still were at an increased risk for developing type 2
diabetes.
Julie Palmer, a professor of epidemiology at BU's Slone
Epidemiology Center and the study's author, said her team's
results show that vigorous activity and brisk walking can protect
African-American women against type 2 diabetes.
"That is important because many women don't have the time or
place to engage in 'vigorous' physical activity, but most women
can find time to walk," she was quoted as saying.

Smokers Should Eat Broccoli |
|
Broccoli and other
cruciferous vegetables have a cancer preventative property that
appears to work specifically in smokers. In the first
comprehensive study of it’s kind, researchers at Roswell Park
Cancer Institute, in Buffalo, N.Y., analyzed cancer cases and
controls matched on smoking status. The study included all
commonly consumed cruciferous vegetables, taking into account
their raw versus cooked forms.
Among smokers, the protective effect of the vegetable intake
ranged from a 20 percent reduction in risk of lung cancer to a 55
percent reduction in risk.
|
“Broccoli is not a therapeutic drug, but for smokers who
believe they cannot quit nor do anything about their risk, this is
something positive,” Li Tang, Ph.D., the study’s lead author, was
quoted as saying.
Researchers noted the strongest risk reduction was seen in
patients with squamous and small-cell carcinomas, two subgroups
more strongly associated with heavy smoking.

Alcohol May Cause
Lower Brain Volume |
|
Studies show
moderate alcohol consumption is associated with lower risk of
cardiovascular disease, but a new study reveals it may also be
associated with brain volume decline.
It’s generally considered that older adults aren’t as sharp
mentally as younger adults. This may be because brain volume
decreases with age at a rate of about 2 percent per decade. Lower
brain volume is also found in patients with dementia and is
associated with thinking, learning and memory problems. Now,
researchers at Boston University School of Public Health have
found another possible cause of lower brain volume -- alcohol
consumption.
Researchers studied 1,839 adults and categorized them into
groups based on their reported weekly alcohol consumption. |
“My original
question was since alcohol is protective for cardiovascular
disease, is it protective when looking at the decline in brain
volume with age?” Carol Ann Paul, M.S., researcher at Boston
University School of Public Health, told Ivanhoe.
The results of the study showed that instead of protecting against
age-related brain volume decline, alcohol actually made it worse.
“With an increase in alcohol we found a decrease in brain volume,”
Paul said. “Unlike the cardiovascular system, there’s no protect
effect in the decline of brain volume.”
Paul added her next step in this research is to study the link
between alcohol consumption and cognition to paint a clearer
picture of the effects of alcohol on the brain.
