Harmful medical care
(NaturalNews) It is the position of Big Pharma that pharmaceuticals make people healthier. That’s the whole point of taking them, of course — to enhance your health in some way that the human body apparently cannot achieve on its own (if you believe the drug ads, anyway). The drug industry’s direct-to-consumer advertisements further imply this cause / effect relationship between pharmaceuticals and health by portraying drug consumers to be happy, healthy and fit. Taking medications, these ads imply, will make you happy, healthy and fit!

Your doctor may secretly think you’re making too many office visits and getting too many drugs and tests.

The tragic tale of Flight 447 should not only be a case study in aviation but also in medicine. Medicine is becoming less of a hands-on science and more dependent on sophisticated tests and high-tech scans. As in aviation, there is an overall benefit; diagnosis and treatment are better than ever. But the same problem bedevils medicine, perhaps more commonly — in difficult situations, inexperienced doctors are often uncertain of how to interpret sophisticated information presented to them, resulting in incorrect diagnoses or inappropriate treatment.
An example of this was recently demonstrated by Dr. James Andrews, one of the country’s leading orthopedic surgeons, who has operated on many of the country’s top professional athletes. He and some colleagues believe the MRI, a staple of orthopedic evaluation, is becoming overused. The test is extremely sensitive and sometimes indicates abnormalities that are not actually a source of problems.

Endangered species...now we know why
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – Drinking a liter of regular cola every day increases the amount of fat in the liver and in the muscles and surrounding the organs in the belly, according to a new Danish study.
“This study suggests that the adverse effects of sugary beverages go beyond just weight gain or fat gain. It’s the gaining of the wrong fat in the wrong places,” said Dr. Frank Hu, a professor at the Harvard School of Public Health, who was not involved in this study.
The American Heart Association recommends drinking no more than about three cans of soda a week, while young men far exceed that, with about two cans a day on average (see Reuters Health report of August 31, 2011).

People who eat lots of red meat may have a higher risk of some types of kidney cancer, suggests a large US study.
Researchers found that middle-aged adults who ate the most red meat were 19% more likely to be diagnosed with kidney cancer than those who ate the least. A higher intake of chemicals found in grilled or barbecued meat was also linked to increased risk of the disease, according tot the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
It is OK if you eat red meat in moderation-once a week maybe. But the portion varies for each of us.
Active lifestyle and proper diet that what is needed to stay healthy.
U.S. guidelines call for limiting high-fat foods including processed meat, and instead eating more lean meat and poultry, seafood and nuts.
