How is Antibiotic Use Linked to Cancer?

Unwisely prescribing way too antibiotics for children with sore throats when they don't need them. You might think twice about asking for an antibiotic, however, if you knew it could also increase your child's risk of cancer.
Based on the rise of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer affecting the body's lymphatic system, various studies investigating links with drugs have come up empty, until researchers reviewed information from the Scandinavian Lymphoma Etiology study that compared the health of some 3,100 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients with a group of healthy people.
Seems children who were treated with antibiotics more than 10 times had a higher incidence of non Hodgkin's lymphoma, and all subtypes of the disease. And, not so surprisingly, heavy use of non-steroidal inflammatory drugs, better known as NSAIDs, were also blamed for increasing one's odds of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Read more...

Good Attitude Boosts Health As Much As Formal Education

(HealthDay News) -- Positive factors such as meaningful relationships with others and a sense of purpose can help reduce the negative health impacts of having less schooling, a new study suggests.

It is known that lack of education is a strong predictor of poor health and a relatively early death, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison pointed out. But their new study, published online Oct. 18 in the journal Health Psychology, found that peace of mind can reduce the risk.

"If you didn't go that far in your education, but you walk around feeling [good], you may not be more likely to suffer ill-health than people with a lot of schooling. Low educational attainment does not guarantee bad health consequences, or poor biological regulation," study co-author and psychology professor Carol Ryff said in a university news release.

Exercise, vit E slows ageing

A combination of exercise and vitamin E may help slow the ageing process.
That power of that potent combination is detailed in a University of Florida (UF) study in the current issue of Biological Research for Nursing.

Slows the process of cell destruction
The study of 59 healthy men and women aged 60 to 75 found those who exercised regularly and took vitamin E supplements became healthier and greatly decreased their levels of a blood marker that signals destruction of certain cells.

This cell destruction is caused by unstable molecular fragments called free radicals. This process of cell destruction, called free radical-induced oxidative stress, contributes to ageing and disease.

Decrease in oxidative stress and blood pressure
The study also found people who didn't exercise, but took vitamin E, had large decreases in oxidative stress and blood pressure.Read more...
