Noncommunicable diseases prematurely take 16 million lives annually, WHO urges more action
Urgent government action is needed to meet global targets to reduce the burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), and prevent the annual toll of 16 million people dying prematurely – before the age of 70 – from heart and lung diseases, stroke, cancer and diabetes, according to a new WHO report. “The global community has the chance to change the course of the NCD epidemic,” says WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chan, who today launched the "Global status report on noncommunicable diseases 2014". “By investing just US$ 1-3 dollars per person per year, countries can dramatically reduce illness and death from NCDs. ...

Cholesterol: I Told You So!
Big Brother has finally come around to what I’ve been telling my patients for almost 30 years – stop worrying about cholesterol in your diet!
The influential Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, the nation’s top nutrition panel, has now admitted they were WRONG about cholesterol. And they have now proclaimed this former dietary evil as no longer a “nutrient of concern.”1
They were slow – and, of course, wrong for decades – but at least they got there in the end.
That means eggs are back on the menu for millions of Americans – yolk and all – although my patients have been enjoying their e...

Diabetes and onset of natural menopause: results from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition
STUDY QUESTION
Do women who have diabetes before menopause have their menopause at an earlier age compared with women without diabetes?
SUMMARY ANSWER
Although there was no overall association between diabetes and age at menopause, our study suggests that early-onset diabetes may accelerate menopause.
WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY
Today, more women of childbearing age are being diagnosed with diabetes, but little is known about the impact of diabetes on reproductive health.
STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION
We investigated the impact of diabetes on age at natural menopause (ANM) in 258 898 women from the European Prospective Investi...

John Glenn Says Evolution Should Be Taught In Schools
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — John Glenn, who declared as a 77-year-old in a news conference from space that "to look out at this kind of creation out here and not believe in God is to me impossible," says facts about scientific discovery should be taught in schools — and that includes evolution.
The astronaut, now 93 with fading eyesight and hearing, told The Associated Press in a recent interview that he sees no contradiction between believing in God and believing in evolution.
"I don't see that I'm any less religious by the fact that I can appreciate the fact that science just records that we change with evolution and tim...

Socio‐Economic Factors Relating to Diabetes and its Management in India
Abstract
Diabetes is an escalating problem in India and has major socio‐economic dimensions. Rapid dietary changes coupled with decreased level of physical activity have resulted in increasing obesity and diabetes in rural and semi‐urban areas and in urban based people living in resettlement colonies. Increasing risk has also been recorded in those who suffered from poor childhood nutrition, and in rural‐to‐urban migrants. Social inequity manifests in disparities in socio‐economic strata (SES), place of residence, education, gender, level of awareness and affect prevention, care and management. All these populati...

6 Expert Tips on Rethinking Nutrition and Heart Health
Have kids, they said. Along with all the vomit and tears they will bring you joy, hilarity and fierce amounts of love (true, true.) But nobody ever mentioned they might concoct a "potion" that sits fermenting in an overlooked thermos for five days. Oh and that it might detonate in the kitchen in the dead of night. Have you ever cleaned out your toaster with a cotton bud? I have. It's hard. Especially when you really should be in bed and your heart is still somewhere outside your chest cavity.
A few days previously I'd given the girls some random kitchen and craft ingredients to make their own potions -- magic medicine to...

Has Brazil found the way to better health care?
Under Brazil’s family health program, when a woman learns that she is pregnant, she contacts her local community health agent, who often is a neighbor.
Typically, the agent visits her home to arrange an appointment with the neighborhood’s family health team, and the woman visits the health center for an assessment by a nurse assistant and a physician. During the pregnancy, if she misses a prenatal care appointment, the agent checks in on her at home and helps her reschedule her visit. Any prenatal medications she needs are provided free of charge.
Brazil — home to the world’s fifth-largest population and seventh-l...
