The study was carried out for 20 years and involved 3258 populace of 18-30 years old. The overall effect of even slightly higher cholesterol levels increases the risk of heart problems by the age of 45. Therefore, even the youth are supposed to be careful about their cholesterol levels. The main reason for heart disease in older people is bad cholesterol or LDL. If the LDL level is high for a period of 20 years, calcium starts mounting up in the coronary arteries, an indication of risk of [...]

The accusations by National Resources Defense Council state that triclocarbon and triclosan, two widely used ingredients in personal care products, are grave sexual health hazards. Triclocarbon and triclosan not only harm the reproductive organs but also affect the production of sex and thyroid hormones. The sperm quality too suffers due to excessive use of products with triclocarbon and triclosan as ingredients. The allegations also stated [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Studies carried out in Aberdeen and Auckland Universities show that taking calcium pills increases the risk of heart attack. This association was found after analyzing 11 studies that covered about 12,000 individuals who take calcium supplements of 500 mg or more. The calcium supplements are usually recommended to older women as part osteoporosis treatment. However, most researchers are of the opinion that these calcium pills increase the levels of serum calcium in blood. The presence of abundant serum calcium hardens the arteries. The authors of the published study conclude that the levels of serum calcium in blood are linked to the increase in number of cases of heart attack due [...]

Now, a recent study published in the same magazine says that the number of potentially dangerous germs present on an average cell phone is 18 times than found on the flush handle of toilet. In fact among the sample mobile phones used for the test, one carried bacteria in such high levels that it could have resulted in a severe stomach trouble to the owner. The study involved large number of cell phones and revealed that out of the 63 million phones used in Britain, [...]

Obese pregnant women are at higher risk of serious problems including high blood pressure, diabetes, miscarriage, stillbirth, abnormal babies and painful labor. The new guidelines recommend the general practitioners and others to inform the expected mothers of the health risks of being obese while pregnant along with the benefits of shedding weight if planning for a pregnancy. The already obese and pregnant women should avoid going on a weight-reduction diet as this may cause complications for the baby. They are supposed to be on a [...]

The study was carried out by a group of researches under the guidance of a University of Sheffield’s professor, Gerry Wilson. The team of researchers questioned 873 arthritis patients along with a control group that included 1,004 people on how frequently they consumed alcohol in the last month. The patients were asked to complete a questionnaire, underwent blood tests and X-rays. Their joints too were examined as part of the tasks. The study revealed that patients who consumed alcohol more often had less severe symptoms [...]

		<description><![CDATA[A study that came out in the journal Neurology on Monday suggests that only a few epilepsy drugs are connected to rise in suicidal tendency, even though all the medications display a warning about the hazard. The study involved 44,300 UK patients using epilepsy medications from 1990 to 2005. But an increase in suicidal tendency was noticed only in a few patients who use a few newer drugs that were previously associated with risk of depression. Some of the newer drugs are topiramate (Topamax), levetiracetam (Keppra), tiagabine (Gabitril) and vigabatrin (Sabril). In 2008, the Food and Drug Administration had ordered that all the epilepsy drugs should display a warning about [...]
