POPSFDA Warns of Harmful Diet Pills FDA analysis found undeclared active pharmaceutical ingredients in many of these products–and in some cases “prescription drugs in amounts that greatly exceed their maximum recommended dosages,” according to Janet Woodcock, M.D., director, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, FDA. The list includes sibutramine (a controlled substance), rimonabant (a drug not approved for marketing in the United States), phenytoin (an anti-seizure medication), and phenolphthalein (a solution used in chemical experiments and a suspected cancer causing agent). Some of the amounts of active pharmaceutical ingredients far exceeded the FDA-recommended levels, putting consumers’ health at risk. Pretty shocking.

POPSnon-drug options for ADHD - but they leave out the most effective one Sadly, they neglect to mention the most effective non-drug treatment for ADHD/ADD: exercise . John Ratey, MD, associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, studies how exercise affects the brain -- in particular, how it affects people with ADHD. See the articles on his website for more information, or take a look at this article for an overview of what he's found. Personally, given a choice between "take this medication which may or may not help your condition and by the way you'll have to deal with the side effects which can be nasty" and "go for a two-mile run", I'll take the run. It's cheaper, better for me, and a lot more enjoyable.

POPSHeart Attack Prevention Tips for Women February is American Heart Month, so let's talk about preventing heart disease in women. But pay attention even if you are a man because most of these recommendations apply to everyone. women are more likely to die after a heart attack than men. One reason for this higher death rate is that women tend to be older than men when they have their first heart attack. # Increase omega-3 fatty acids. You can get these healthy fats by eating oily fish such as salmon, albacore tuna, mackerel, sardines, herring, and lake trout. Women with known heart disease may also wish to take omega-3 supplements. # Supplement with care. Be aware that supplements such as folate, vitamins C and E, and beta-carotene do not prevent heart disease and so should not be taken for that purpose. # If you smoke, quit! Look for such options as nicotine-replacement medications and smoking-cessation counseling.

POPSCalcium: Heart Risk for Older Women? The risk of a heart attack was about 1.5 times greater for those in the supplement group, but the link did not reach statistical significance. Considered together, strokes, heart attack, or sudden death were more common in those on supplements than on placebo, but the differences -- when taken as a whole -- were statistically only of borderline significance But he speculates that the calcium supplements may elevate blood calcium levels and possibly speed calcification in blood vessels, which is known to predict the rates of vascular problems such as heart attack. Proceed with caution....

POPSAre The Chinese Trying To Tell Us Something? This is scary. My family does not live and can not yet afford to move to a property where we can produce our own food; particularly, vegetables and fruits. We don't live near a farmer's market. So, we rely, like many Americans, on our local commissary or supermarket. The way I read this article, it's telling us there is very little we can do about this problem of tainted food and other necessities because by squashing China's imports we would be shooting ourselves in the foot. So it seems as if China is sending us poison--because they can. And there is nothing we can do about it. Even a vegan diet is not immune to potential poisoning unless you totally go homegrown.
