A US study of 3,000 people suggests that regular morning meals can halve the chance of developing diabetes. Rates of obesity and of insulin resistance syndrome, a pre-diabetic condition, were 35 to 50 per cent lower among people who ate breakfast every day, compared with those who usually skipped it. Dr Mark Pereira, from Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, said: 'Our results suggest that breakfast may really be the most important meal of the day.' Why is this cheap Down's syndrome test hardly used? Source: Daily Mirror Date: 07 March 2003 Jill Palmer reports that a simple £20 blood test able to detect almost a third more Down's syndrome babies in the womb is not used by the NHS, despite being available for the past six years. The test, which looks for four key markers in the mother's blood, is less likely to get the results wrong, and doctors are now calling for it to be offered to every pregnant woman in Britain. The quadruple test is currently available only in London and Leeds, and the scientist who developed it predicts that it will not become widely available for at least another year. The issue is discussed in today's edition of The Lancet. How you can save a child Source: Daily Telegraph Date: 07 March 2003 Barbara Lantin offers detailed first-aid advice to parents whose children are bleeding, choking, or undergoing various other emergencies. Last week, a survey in 'Mother and Baby' magazine revealed that of 2,000 parents questioned, only 14 per cent knew enough first aid to save their child's life in an emergency. Jon Cunningham, training manager for St John Ambulance, says, 'We recommend that all parents and guardians take a first aid course to learn these vital lifesaving skills.' The article offers advice on what to do in the event of poisoning, drowning, head injuries and choking, and includes a list of 'What every parent should keep in a locked medicine cupboard.' Why some fish are risky for the young Source: The Times Date: 27 February 2003 Dr Thomas Stuttaford looks behind the recent headlines warning of the health dangers of swordfish, shark, marlin and tuna. Pregnant women have been advised to cut their intake of tuna to certain levels, and all infants and children under 16 have been advised to avoid eating shark, swordfish or marlin, because of mercury. The problem with predatory fish is that when they devour smaller fish they concentrate the mercury derived from them in their own flesh. Mercury can cause brain damage in a developing child. Pregnant women are advised to boost their intake of fish oils by eating herring, mackerel, and to drink milk for omega fatty acids. Cancer risk for inactive women Source: The Guardian Date: 26 February 2003 James Meikle, as well as the Telegraph, the Times, the Express and the Sun, reports that very few women take the Government's recommended amount of daily exercise, and that they are at a greater risk of cancer as a result. Cancer Research UK conducted a survey to find out how much exercise women take, and found that only 20 per cent of those questioned take 30 minutes of exercise five times a week, causing concern at the charity. Researchers say people who take the most exercise regularly can reduce their risk of bowel cancer by up to 50 per cent compared with those who remain sedentary. Exercise can also protect against breast cancer, and possibly against lung, prostate and womb cancer. Bottle-fed babies in parents' bed at risk of cot death Source: The Times Date: 26 February 2003 Both the Times and the Mail focus on the risks of cot death for babies who sleep in the same bed as their parents. Bottle-fed babies are at greater risk of cot death than breast-fed babies if they share a bed with their parents, according to new research. Social anthropologists at Durham University have discovered that breast-feeding mothers instinctively adopt a safer sleeping position, curled around their baby with its head at breast level. Mothers who bottle feed are more likely to turn their back on their sleeping baby or place its head on the pillow level with their own. They concluded that mothers who bottle-feed should be given advice about the safer sleeping position. Liquorice risk for pregnant women Source: Daily Mirror Date: 26 February 2003 Tanith Carey warns that expectant mothers and women on the Pill could be damaging their health by eating too much liquorice, according to scientists. Researchers in Germany found that glycyrrhizic acid in the liquorice can drain the body of essential minerals including zinc, magnesium and potassium. It also upsets the balance of sodium in the body, boosting the production of the hormone aldosterone and encouraging water retention. The German study is backed by research carried out in Iceland, which found that eating even small amounts of liquorice could raise the blood pressure. Can mobile phones give you bad skin? Source: Daily Mail Date: 26 February 2003 James Chapman warns that radiation from mobile phones could trigger skin allergies, according to new research. Researchers from Unitika Hospital in Tokyo believe that the radiation can 'excite' antigens in the bloodstreams of susceptible people. During their research, 26 people with a history of eczema and dermatitis were exposed to mobile phone radiation for half an hour, while another 26 with the same skin susceptibilities were not. Mobile phone use was also found to worsen skin weals induced by exposure to house dust mites or pollen from cedar trees in the susceptible patients. תוכן ההודעה: תגובות נוספות 8/3/2003  22:25 יהודית-זה ממש מקסים איך כל פעם את משתפת אותנו ,תודה!
