"A host of common chemicals is feminizing males of every class of vertebrate animals,
from fish to mammals, including people. Many have been identified as
'endocrine disruptors' or gender-benders because they interfere with
hormones. Communities heavily polluted with gender-benders in Canada,
Russia, and Italy have given birth to twice as many girls as boys,
which may offer a clue to the mysterious shift in sex ratios worldwide.
And a study at Rotterdam's Erasmus University showed that boys whose
mothers had been exposed to PCBs grew up wanting to play with dolls and
tea sets rather than with traditionally male toys. It also follows hard
on the heels of new American research which shows that baby boys born
to women exposed to widespread chemicals in pregnancy are born with
smaller penises and feminized genitals. It is calculated that 250,000
babies who would have been boys have been born as girls instead in the
US and Japan alone. And sperm counts are dropping precipitously.
Studies in more than 20 countries have shown that they have dropped
from 150 million per milliliter of sperm fluid to 60 million over 50
years."
A recent report reveals that human growth hormone may be beneficial in helping obese patients with weight loss.
Patients involved in the study lost an average of about 5 pounds.

Calculated dose aids weight loss in obese patients, study finds
ST. LOUIS, USA — A controlled dose of growth hormone may help people
who are obese lose weight and maintain the energy to exercise, new
research at Saint Louis University shows.
Stewart Albert, M.D., professor of internal medicine in the division
of endocrinology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine and
Arshag Mooradian, M.D., chair of the division of endocrinology at Saint
Louis University, presented their findings at ENDO 2003, the 85th
Annual Meeting of The Endocrine Society, which took place in
Philadelphia from June 19-22.
L-Carnitine: Improves Cognitive Function in Centenarians
L-Carnitine reduces physical and mental fatigue, improves cognitive
function in centenarians
A report published in the December, 2007 issue of the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition described the results of a study
conducted by Italian researchers which found a positive effect for L-carnitine
(levo-carnitine) on energy levels and cognitive function in individuals 100
years of age and older. The age-related decline in L-carnitine, which plays a
role in cellular energy metabolism, could be involved in the fatigue
experienced by many older individuals.
"Wherever flaxseed becomes a regular food item among the people, there
will be better health", said Mahatma Gandhi. He was right. The true
nature of flax as a health food has been known for centuries. In the
8th Century, Charlemagne considered flax so essential for health that
he actually passed laws requiring its use. Flax was one of the original
medicines, used by Hippocrates himself.
A Nutraceutical is any vitamin,
mineral, supplement, trace element or bio-botanical plant based substance which
has known healing value to people and is produced or isolated for public
consumption with the highest purity – pharmaceutical grade purity. It is a very
exacting process to make a true Nutraceutical which involves sending the
healing substances from plants to a biotechnology company where the active
ingredient of benefit to people is highly concentrated and then standardized to
a milligram dose so it can be controlled properly.
Let's take a look at a major contributor to the aging process and what it can tell us about slowing the ravages of time on our health. The factor we will explore is cortisol, a hormone that controls dozens of vital functions in the body. When cortisol levels are too high or too low, rapid-aging processes accelerate.
What and when you eat at the end of the day can have a large impact
on your body. If you eat the right thing at the right time you can
actually lose fat while you sleep. Eat the wrong thing at the wrong
time and you can plan on waking up with a little more body fat in the
morning.
To successfully loss weight, you'll need to stop eating two hours
before going to bed. You should not feel hungry before bed, but you
should also not feel completely full. When you're trying to lose
weight, going to bed at night feeling slightly hungry is actually a
good thing. It's your body telling you that what you did that day is
working and you're losing body fat. If you don't feel this way when
going to bed, you're probably not losing fat.
Now lets say you follow your brain's directive and eat close to
bedtime, your body will not dip into the fat it has stored away, and
will probably even store some more. Every time you eat, your metabolism
increases slightly. However, this effect is minimized late at night.
You don't get the same metabolism boosting benefit when you eat just
before bed, because a couple of hours after dinner, your body will
start preparing for sleep. This natural slowing down of your metabolic
rate overrides any metabolic boost you might get from eating. So once
you hit the pillow, the only calories you're going to use are the basic
calories you need to keep your heart beating and your lungs breathing
and allow your eyes to move in REM sleep. This is only a minimal number
of calories.
Taking
exercise, not drinking too much alcohol, eating enough fruit and
vegetables and not smoking can add up to 14 years to your life, a study
says.
Research involving 20,000 people over a decade found those
who failed on all criteria were four times more likely to have died
than those who succeeded.
The findings held true regardless of how overweight or poor they were.
Well, some people
like Meredith Averill, 61, and her husband, Paul McGlothin, 60, believe
they may have the answers and they're putting themselves to the test in
their quest for longevity.
The couple have been practicing
calorie restriction for the last 14 years. Calorie restriction is the
only proven way to extend life in animals and, now, studies are getting
started in humans.
Averill and McGlothin are the subjects of
one such study. As calorie restrictors they eat only specific amounts
of foods that are high in nutrition but low in calories -- foods like
vegetables, fruits and beans.
Vitamin D: Are You Getting Enough By Rebecca Johnson
There has been a lot of recent research on vitamin D. Some has focused
on its known benefits, notably its crucial role in working with calcium
to keep bones strong. But many studies have looked at its potential to
reduce the risk of everything from some common cancers and multiple
sclerosis to diabetes, hypertension, and age-related muscle weakness.
The research is promising.
Much of this research has linked the potential benefits to
high blood levels of vitamin D-levels higher than most Americans and
Canadians have. Thus, some prominent researchers recommend that people
have their blood levels of D measured so that, if necessary, they can
take enough supplemental D to get their levels into the "desirable"
range. Some doctors have started testing many of their patients. Should
you be tested? First, some basics about this special vitamin.
