451. Organic Food Fantasies Nevery Die http://www.webcommentary.com/asp/ShowArticle.asp?id=averyd&date=070730 2007-07-30 12:04:57 Description: Organic Food Fantasies Nevery Die Way back in 1946, the esteemed British medical journal the Lancet declared in an editorial that organic fanatics were making health and nutrition claims way beyond what the science supported. Oh how little has changed since then. The media is once again pronouncing organic food superior based on science fad and the findings of a single study taken well beyond what the evidence shows. The latest salvo in this debate is a simple study of processing tomatoes (the kind used to make paste and sauces) grown over the past decade by a group of California researchers. The researchers, led by Dr. Alyson Mitchell, report that irrigated processing tomatoes grown using organic methods contained roughly twice as much of two flavonoid antioxidants, quercetin and kaempferol. These are the two most abundant “flavonoids” in our diet “linked” to reduction in some forms of cancer and lower blood pressure, which reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke. Link means “far from provent” in science, but the media thrives on rumor. Hence, the river of newspaper ink spilled in the past month on how organic vegetables and fruits “really are better for you” because they are “full of antioxidants.” |

453. Road pollution link to heart attacks and strokes http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=470852&in_page_id=1770 2007-07-25 18:03:41 Description: Road pollution link to heart attacks and strokes By DAVID DERBYSHIRE - More by this author » Last updated at 23:00pm on 25th July 2007 Comments (2) Choking diesel fumes clog up the arteries and increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes, according to new research. Scientists have found new evidence that pollution from cars, lorries and buses triggers a chain reaction in the blood that leads to potentially deadly hardening of the arteries. British heart experts said the findings reinforced earlier advice that people with chronic lung or heart disease should avoid staying outside for long periods when pollution levels were high. |

Daily soft drinks - even diet - linked to higher heart disease ... http://www.680news.com/news/national/article.jsp?content=n072371A 2007-07-23 18:03:56 Description: Daily soft drinks - even diet - linked to higher heart disease risk: study July 23, 2007 - 17:11 By: SHERYL UBELACKER TORONTO (CP) - For those who drink diet pops in the belief that sugar-free beverages are healthier than regular soft drinks, new research suggests they should think again. A huge U.S. study of middle-aged adults has found that drinking more than one soft drink a day - even a sugar-free diet brand - may be associated with an elevated risk for metabolic syndrome, a cluster of factors that boosts the chance of having a heart attack or stroke and developing diabetes. |

458. Bashful Men 50% More Likely to Die of Heart Attack or Stroke http://www.medindia.net/news/Bashful-Men-50-More-Likely-to-Die-of-Heart-Attack-or-Stroke-23468-1.htm 2007-07-12 09:05:52 Description: HERE IS SOMETHING REALLY SURPRISING: Bashful Men 50% More Likely to Die of Heart Attack or Stroke It really doesn't pay to be shy if you are a man, for a new study has found that timid men are 50 percent more likely to die of heart disease. The finding is based on a study that was conducted over a period of 30 years, and included more than 2,000 men who were aged between 40 and 55. As a part of the study the researchers from Chicago's Northwestern University asked the men to fill questionnaires designed to determine how social they were. By the time the study ended three decades later, 60 per cent had died and the experts then compared the questionnaire results with death certificate details, reports the Daily Mail. After taking into account factors more commonly linked to heart disease such as smoking, high levels of cholesterol, and obesity, the researchers still found that the shyest men were 50 per cent more likely to have died of a heart attack or stroke. And while the researchers have no idea why this happens, they believe that one of the factors that may contribute is the fact that shy men may find unfamiliar situations more stressful than their outgoing counterparts. Their conclusion, as a spokesman for medical publishers Elsevier, which backed the study, put it, is for men to enjoy life if they want to live longer. "These figures suggest it may be in your best interest to get out to the pub, go dancing or do dinner with your friends. Your life may depend on it!" the paper quoted the spokesperson, as saying. |

459. Lady Bird Johnson Dies At 94 http://cbs13.com/topstories/topstories_story_192173911.html 2007-07-11 18:03:16 Description: Lady Bird Johnson Dies At 94 (CBS News) AUSTIN, Texas Lady Bird Johnson, the former first lady who championed conservation and worked tenaciously for the political career of her husband, Lyndon B. Johnson, died Wednesday, a family spokeswoman said. She was 94. Johnson, who suffered a stroke in 2002 that affected her ability to speak, returned home late last month after a week at Seton Medical Center, where she'd been admitted for a low-grade fever. She died at her Austin home of natural causes and she was surrounded by family and friends, said spokeswoman Elizabeth Christian. Even after the stroke, Johnson still managed to make occasional public appearances and get outdoors to enjoy her beloved wildflowers. But she was unable to speak more than a few short phrases, and more recently did not speak at all, Anne Wheeler, spokeswoman for the LBJ Library and Museum, said in 2006. She communicated her thoughts and needs by writing, Wheeler said |

460. New Study Confirms HRT Does Not Benefit Older Women http://www.seniorjournal.com/NEWS/Health/2007/7-07-11-NewStudyConfirms.htm 2007-07-11 15:04:17 Description: New Study Confirms HRT Does Not Benefit Older Women No disease prevention benefit, but some potential risk starting HRT many years after menopause July 11, 2007 – It is just one more nail in a coffin that has already been shut on the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for older women. The British Medical Journal today published on bmj.com new evidence that it should not be prescribed to women many years past menopause to help prevent chronic conditions, such as heart disease. But the authors support the view that HRT is a safe short term treatment for younger women in early menopause to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life. In 2002, the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) trial found that postmenopausal women taking HRT had more heart attacks and strokes than non-HRT users. The trial was halted early and millions of women around the world stopped taking HRT. But scientists now believe that these risks may only apply to older women who do not normally use |
