Fructose Consumption-Free Sugars and Their Health Effects
CONCLUSION: The effects that have been observed with the consumption of large amounts of fructose cannot be reliably distinguished from the effects of a generally excessive caloric intake. Further randomized and controlled intervention trials of high quality are needed in order to determine the metabolic effects of fructose consumed under isocaloric conditions. To lessen individual consumption of sugar, sugary dietary items such as sweetened soft drinks, fruit juice, and smoothies should be avoided in favor of water as a beverage and fresh fruit.PMID:33785129 | DOI:10.3238/arztebl.m2021.0010

New Oral Anti-Cancer Drugs and Medication Safety.
CONCLUSION: The increasing use of oral anti-cancer drugs confronts patients and treatment teams with special challenges. To optimize treatment outcomes, a multidisciplinary approach should be taken, involving physicians, pharmacists, and nurses. To improve medication safety, medication and side-effect management should be performed, and adherence should be regularly checked and systematically encouraged. PMID: 31920193 [PubMed - in process]

The Health Effects of Aluminum Exposure.
CONCLUSION: The internal aluminum load is measured in terms of the concentration of aluminum in urine and blood. Keeping these concentrations below the tolerance values prevents the development of manifest and subclinical signs of aluminum toxicity. Large-scale epidemiologic studies of the relationship between aluminum-containing antiperspirants and the risk of breast cancer would be desirable. PMID: 29034866 [PubMed - in process]
