Higher Vitamin D Levels Associated With Less Weight Gain in Older Women. Info from Medscape

CLINICAL CONTEXT
According to the current study by LeBlanc and colleagues, some evidence suggests that hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) might be involved in weight regulation, and vitamin D receptors are present on human adipocytes. In weight loss trials, patients with higher 25(OH)D levels experience more weight loss and fat loss than patients with lower levels of the vitamin. Decreased sunlight exposure leads to chronic 25(OH)D insufficiency and subsequent weight gain year round (not just seasonally).

This longitudinal cohort study determines if 25(OH)D levels among 4659 community-dwelling, ambulatory women 65 years and older is associated with weight change at approximately 4 years. This same study then examined a smaller cohort of women (n = 1054) who had 25(OH)D levels measured at 2 separate visits and determined whether change in 25(OH)D levels is associated with change in weight.

STUDY SYNOPSIS AND PERSPECTIVE
It is not quite the cause for celebration dieters dream of, but a study published online June 25 in the Journal of Women's Health provides additional support for the role of vitamin D in weight regulation.

The researchers found that adequate vitamin D levels were associated with less weight gain among women aged 65 years and older during a 4.5-year period, although they failed to find an association for weight loss and vitamin D.

Erin S. LeBlanc, MD, MPH, an epidemiologist and endocrinologist at the Center for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente Northwest, Portland, Oregon, and colleagues tested 25(OH)D status and tracked weight among participants recruited from a long-term Study of Osteoporotic Fractures from 1986 to 1994. The women lived in Baltimore County, Maryland; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Portland, Oregon; and the Monongahela Valley near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They were mostly non-Hispanic white (>99%) and aged 65 years or older.

Using a 25(OH)D level of 30 ng/mL or higher as the marker for adequate vitamin D levels, the investigators found an association between lower weight at baseline and adequate vitamin D levels (141.6 pounds for women with 25 (OH)D levels ≥ 30 ng/mL; 148.6 for women with 25 (OH)D levels < 30 ng/mL; P 99% non-Hispanic white) in 4 US regions. Women unable to walk without assistance and those with bilateral hip replacements were excluded.
All surviving participants were invited to attend a year 6 examination between August 1992 and July 1994.
A total of 6818 women completed the year 6 clinic or home visit, and 6256 had measurement of 25(OH)D levels.
4659 women (74%) had weight measurements at both year 6 and year 10 examinations (average of 4.5 years later); these women were the subject of the baseline 25(OH)D analyses in this study.
A subcohort of women (n = 1054) who participated in the year 10 examination were randomly selected to have 25(OH)D levels retested.
The 1054 women with recorded weight status and 25(OH)D levels at both year 6 and year 10 visits comprised the analytic cohort for the longitudinal 25(OH)D analyses.
The population was divided into women with 25(OH)D levels of less than 30 ng/mL and women with levels of 30 ng/mL or higher.
This cutoff value was chosen because parathyroid hormone levels have been shown to plateau, and calcium absorption has been found to be most efficient at 25(OH)D levels of more than 30 ng/mL.
Participants were categorized based on their weight change between year 6 and year 10 visits.
Those who experienced less than a 5% change in body weight between the 2 visits were considered to have stable weight.
Those who gained 5% or more of their body weight were considered to have gained weight; those who lost 5% or more of their body weight were considered to have lost weight.
Women who had 25(OH)D levels measured were characterized by change in 25(OH)D levels between visits into the following 2 categories: (1) levels remaining at 30 ng/mL or more at both visits or changing from less than 30 to 30 ng/mL or more; and (2) levels remaining at less than 30 ng/mL at both visits or changed from 30 ng/mL or higher to less than 30 ng/mL.
4659 women 65 years and older with baseline 25(OH)D measurement were observed for 4.5 years.
They were weighed at baseline and at follow-up visits; the subset (n = 1054) had 25(OH)D levels measured again at follow-up.
The majority of women (60.2%) were weight stable between year 6 and year 10 visits.
27.5% lost 5% or more of their baseline weight (average loss of 10.4% [15.7 pounds]) between the 2 visits, and 12.3% gained 5% or more of their baseline weight (average gain of 9.7% [13.6 pounds]).
Women who lost weight were older (77 years vs 76 years in weight stable category and 75 years in weight gain category) but did not differ by race and education vs women who were weight stable or gained weight.
Baseline weight and body mass index (BMI) were highest in the weight loss group and lowest in the weight gain group.
Slightly more than one third of women in the weight loss group decreased to a lower BMI category; 40% of those in the weight gain group increased to a higher BMI category.
Among women not trying to lose weight, the number of women with cancer (20%) was the same in the weight stable (21%) and weight gain (20%) groups.
The data suggested that women who lost weight did not have more cancer or other comorbidities.
Women with 25(OH)D levels of 30 ng/mL or higher had lower baseline weight (141.6 pounds) vs women with 25(OH)D levels of less than 30 ng/mL (148.6 pounds; P < .001).
Overall, women with 25(OH)D levels of 30 ng/mL or more had similar changes in weight between visits 6 and 10 (-3.3 pounds) vs women with 25(OH)D levels of less than 30 ng/mL (-2.8 pounds; P = .24).
There was also no difference in 25(OH)D levels or the percentage of women with 25(OH)D levels of 30 ng/mL or higher in the weight loss, weight stable, or weight gain populations.
Overall, 25(OH)D status was not associated with weight change at 4.5 years, but change in 25(OH)D levels was associated with weight change.
In women who gained 5% or more of weight, those with baseline 25(OH)D levels of 30 ng/mL or higher gained 16.4 pounds (12.2% of baseline weight) at 4.5 years vs 18.5 pounds (13.9% of baseline weight) in women with levels of less than 30 ng/mL (P = .04).
In women who lost 5% or more weight or whose weight remained stable (< 5% weight change), there was no association between 25(OH)D status at baseline and weight change.
Among women who gained weight and had 25(OH)D levels measured at both visits, having sustained or developing 25(OH)D levels of 30 ng/mL or higher was associated with less weight gain between visits (14.81 vs 16.34 pounds; P = .04).
The authors concluded that higher 25(OH)D levels were associated with less weight gain in older women, suggesting that low vitamin D status may predispose to fat accumulation.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS
Women 65 years and older are likely to remain weight stable at 4 years, with one quarter losing 5% of more of body weight and 12% gaining 5% or more of body weight.

Low Sperm Count?: Lifestyle Factors That Affect Risk taken from Medscape

CLINICAL CONTEXT
Many men are affected by subfertility, and a study by Guzick and colleagues, which appeared in the November 8, 2001, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, compared sperm morphology, motility, and concentration among fertile and infertile men. None of these variables alone was a powerful discriminator for fertility. Infertility was associated with a rate of sperm motility of less than 32%, and rates of normal sperm morphology in excess of 12% were associated with normal fertility.

Improving modifiable risk factors for sperm abnormalities can reduce the rate of subfertility among men, but which of these factors is significant? The current study by Povey and colleagues addresses this issue.

STUDY SYNOPSIS AND PERSPECTIVE
Common lifestyle factors associated with low-motile sperm concentration (MSC) include a history of testicular surgery, black ethnicity, and being involved in manual labor, but no association was found with smoking, drugs, or alcohol use, according to new research.

Andrew C. Povey, PhD, from the Centre for Occupational and Environmental Health at the University of Manchester, United Kingdom, and colleagues reported their findings in an article published online June 13 in Human Reproduction.

According to the researchers, the "understanding of how the lifestyle choices of adult men themselves might impact on their fertility remains uncertain and often contradictory."

The current study examined lifestyle data of men recruited to the large multicentre Chemical and Pregnancy Study to identify factors that may contribute to low sperm count.

Participants included men who were part of a couple who had been attempting conception without success after at least 12 months of unprotected intercourse.

The authors collected data on 780 men with low MSC as well as data from 1469 referents (ie, men attending a fertility clinic who did not have low MSC). Participants were requested to abstain from ejaculation for a period of 3 to 5 days (depending on the clinic) before the clinic visit at which sperm count was measured. Low sperm count was defined as fewer than 12 × 106/mL motile sperm (moving forward at 5 μm/second or greater).

Risk factors for low MSC included a history of testicular surgery (odds ratio [OR], 2.39; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.75 - 3.28), being in manual work (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.07 - 1.53), being unemployed (OR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.22 - 2.59), and having black ethnicity (OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.10 - 3.63).

According to the researchers, the increased risk in men of black ethnicity is of interest, but "the numbers are small and hence no strong conclusion can be reached."

It also remains unclear, after controlling for exposure to glycol ethers and other toxicants, why manual labor may contribute to low MSC, the authors note.

Conversely, consistent with some previous findings, men who wore boxer shorts (OR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.64 - 0.92) or who had previously conceived a child (OR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.60 - 0.85) were less likely to have a low MSC.

"No significant association was found with smoking and alcohol consumption, the use of recreational drugs, a high [body mass index,] or having a history of mumps or fever," the researchers report.

According to the researchers, the power of the study was sufficient to draw conclusions about common lifestyle choices, but the findings are less clear regarding exposures that are perhaps rare and poorly reported.

The "finding that use of street drugs was unrelated to low MSC cannot be assumed to apply to all such drugs and all patterns of use," Dr. Povey and colleagues write. "The case definition did not consider sperm morphology or sperm DNA integrity," they add.

The researchers note that their "study shows that common lifestyle choices, other than wearing tight underwear, make little contribution to MSC and that delaying assisted conception to make poorly evidenced changes to lifestyle is unlikely to enhance conception and may indeed be prejudicial in couples with little time to lose."

The study was funded by the UK Health and Safety Executive; the UK Department of Environment, Transport and the Regions; the UK Department of Health; and the European Chemical Industry Council. The authors have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

Hum Reprod. Published online June 13, 2012. Abstract

STUDY HIGHLIGHTS
Men 18 years or older were recruited from 14 fertility clinics in the United Kingdom for the study. All participants had experienced infertility after at least 12 months of trying to conceive.
All participants performed a semen analysis. The original cutoff value for subfertility was less than 12 × 106/mL progressively motile sperm, and the cutoff value was changed during the study period to progressive values based on the participants' duration of abstinence before semen analysis.
The main study outcome was the association between demographic, health habit, and physical risk factors and the finding of subfertility.
2249 men provided background information as well as a semen analysis, and 939 men were found to be subfertile.
Nonmodifiable risk factors significantly associated with subfertility were black race vs white race (OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.10 - 3.63) and a history of testicular surgery (OR, 2.39; 95% CI, 1.75 - 3.28).
Modifiable risk factors associated with subfertility included unemployment (OR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.22 - 2.59) and manual work (OR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.07 - 1.53).
Wearing boxer shorts (OR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.64 - 0.92) and a history of previous conception (OR, 0.71; 95% CI, 0.60 - 0.85) were associated with a significantly reduced rate of subfertility.
Smoking, alcohol consumption, and the use of recreational drugs were not significantly associated with the rate of subfertility.
Similarly, body mass index failed to affect the rate of subfertility on adjusted analyses.
A history of mumps or fever during the 3 months before semen analysis also failed to affect the rate of subfertility.


CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS
In a previous study by Guzick and colleagues that compared sperm morphology, motility, and concentration among fertile and infertile men, none of these variables alone was a powerful discriminator for fertility. Infertility was associated with a rate of sperm motility of less than 32%, and rates of normal sperm morphology in excess of 12% were associated with normal fertility.
Risk factors for subfertility among men in the current study by Povey and colleagues included manual work, wearing tight underwear, a history of testicular surgery, and black race. Smoking, alcohol consumption, and the use of recreational drugs were not significantly associated with the rate of subfertility.

chewing gum vs knowledge ???
Students who chewed gum for five minutes before taking a test got better marks than those who didn't chew gum.

Previous research has shown that any type of physical activity improves brain performance, but this study shows that even minor physical activity can do so.

The benefits of chewing gum occurred only when it was done for five minutes before a test, not if it was done during the entire test. This may be because chewing and thinking conflict with each other, Onyper suggested in a university news release

Your heartbeat changes with the music you listen to

According to a research...Your heartbeat changes with the music you listen to!

Music can be so powerful it can affect your mood, brainwaves, and even your heartbeat! It turns out that when we listen to music our body reacts to the sounds we hear.

If a person listens to rock or techno, their heartbeat will involuntarily speed up. The opposite is true if someone listens to more calming or instrumental music.

Music is so influential it can alter your heartbeat, pulse rate, blood pressure, decrease your muscle tension, and even affect your body movement and coordination!..!

Top 10 Highest-Paying Medical Jobs

Top 10 Highest-Paying Medical Jobs

There's a reason parents dream their kids will grow up to be doctors -- the profession consistently tops "highest paid" lists, medically geared or not, in addition to being relatively recession-proof as health care is always a necessity.

Doctors are at the heart of the health care system, and as such they dominate our list of the top 10 highest paying medical jobs. Salaries vary widely based on location, years of experience, and other factors -- but when it comes to maximum earning potential,* not all specialties are created equal.

1. Surgeon

Salary: $71,462-$516,641
Surgeons specialize in operating on patients in order to cure, repair, or remove disease or injury. Because the human body is so complex surgeons often specialize and become an expert on specific body parts or regions. Cardiac and neurosurgeons are the highest paid of all surgeon specialties, followed closely by oral surgeons and then trauma and general surgeons.

2. Anesthesiologist

Salary: $99,156-$362,422
Anesthesiologists are doctors who specialize in the pain management of surgical patients. They examine patients and determine what type and how much anesthesia to administer, as well as actually administering the anesthesia, monitoring its efficacy, and making adjustments as needed during surgical procedures.

3. Obstetrician/Gynecologist

Salary: $60,281-$271,033

Obstetricians specialize in women's health, specifically the treatment and diagnosis of issues related to the female reproductive system. Gynecologists focus even more tightly on pregnancy and childbirth. The professions often overlap and OB/GYNs can choose to specialize in areas such as fertility, cancer, or primary care.

4. Orthodontist

Salary: $57,812-$244,408
Orthodontists are specialized dentists focusing on the prevention and treatment of irregularities in the teeth, jaw relationships, and facial structure around the mouth. They're responsible for prescribing and applying braces, retainers, and other corrective medical devices as well as performing cosmetic treatments to enhance physical appearance, such as closing unsightly gaps between teeth.

5. Psychiatrist

Salary: $87,329-$259,117
Psychiatrists study, diagnose and treat disorders, illness, and abnormalities of the mind with a combination of psychotherapy and medication. They can practice generally or specialize in areas such as child psychiatry, substance abuse, or social/development disorders.

6. Prosthodontist

Salary: $52.072-$226,662

Another dental specialty, prosthodontists are experts in the restoration and repair of missing or damaged teeth as well as other oral structures related to the jaw and mouth, usually as a means of preserving or repairing a person's appearance, comfort, health, and/or function. Prosthodontists are experts with crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, and even surgical implants and reconstructions.

7. Internist, general

Salary: $96,045-$218,524
Internists focus on the non-surgical treatment of disorders and diseases of the internal organs. They usually focus on adults only and often provide long term, comprehensive care to patients and deal with both acute and chronic illnesses as well as overlapping and coexistent diseases.

8. Podiatrist

Salary: $71,358-$203,627
Podiatrists are doctors with expertise in treating disorders and diseases of the foot, ankle, and lower leg including arch problems, injuries, corns and callouses, and diseases that affect the foot such as diabetes. Podiatrists can specialize even further and focus on areas such as orthopedics, surgery, or primary care.

9. Dentist (general)

Salary: $69,896-$201,262
Dentists are doctors that focus on the treatment of all things within the oral cavity, most commonly the teeth and tissues surrounding the teeth. The field is broken down into many specialties; general dentists treat patients of all ages and in addition to treating existing issues focus heavily on patient teaching regarding preventive measures like oral hygiene and diet.

10. Family and General Practitioner

Salary: $86,577-$186,991
Family and general practitioners are what most people think of when they hear the term "doctor," as they are often the first doctor patients see within the health care system. They provide comprehensive care to people of all ages and are able to treat a wide variety of disorders and injuries affecting all parts of the body, although they refer patients with very complex or serious conditions to appropriate specialists.

It was approximately 8.30 a.m. on a busy morning when an elderly gentleman in his eighties arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He stated that he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9.00 a.m.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat. I knew it would take more than an hour before someone would to able to attend to him. I saw him check his watch anxi...ously for the time and decided to evaluate his wound since I was not busy with another patient.

On examination, the wound was well healed. Hence, I talked to one of the doctors to get the supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

We began to engage in a conversation while I was taking care of his wound. I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment later as he was in such a hurry. The gentleman told me no and said that he needed to go to the nursing home to have breakfast with his wife.

I inquired about her health. He told me that she had been in the nursing home for a while as she was a victim of Alzheimer's disease. I probed further and asked if she would be upset if he was slightly late. He replied that she no longer knew who he was and she had not been able to recognize him since five years ago.
I asked him in surprise, "And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are?"
He smiled as he patted my hand and said, "She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is."

I had to hold back my tears as he left.
I had goose bumps on my arm, and I thought, "That is the kind of love I want in my life."

Diabetes Warning Signs

Diabetes Warning Signs !

*HEADACHE:
As blood sugar levels become more abnormal, additional symptoms may include headaches, blurred vision, and fatigue.
........
*INFECTIONS:
In most cases, type 2 diabetes is not discovered until it takes a noticeable toll on health. One red flag is troubling infections, such as:
• Cuts or sores that are slow to heal
• Frequent yeast infections or urinary tract infections
• Itchy skin, especially in the groin area.
.......
*THIRST:
People with type 2 diabetes frequently have no symptoms. When symptoms do appear, one of the first may be an increase in thirst. This is often accompanied by additional problems, including dry mouth, increased appetite, frequent urination -- sometimes as often as every hour -- and unusual weight loss or gain.

Fact about Brain

Good health is wealth. Here’s a refresh on the rules of good health.

Good health is wealth. Here’s a refresh on the rules of good health. Indian Clinical knowledge
Rule 1: Every morning, say one positive thing about yourself to yourself. This sets the tone for the day, and a day begun well is most likely to go well. Positive
messages to yourself help you improve your self-esteem. For example, a positive reaffirmation can be, “I am a kind person, so today I am going to be kind no matter what.”

Rule 2: Begin the day with two glasses of plain water and try and replace at least 50 per cent of your favourite caffeinated beverages with green tea. By switching to green tea, you get mega doses of antioxidants which are good for the heart and skin. Green tea is also easy on the stomach and the absence of caffeine keeps you calm. Also fulfill your hydration requirements by consuming soups and vegetable juices.
Rule 3: Eat a meal of sprouts every second day. They are a powerhouse of good health, good for losing weight, protecting the liver and enhancing the glow on your face. Sprouts can be made of alfalfa seeds, mung, lobhia and black channa.
Rule 4: Sleep well for at least six to eight hours a night. Sleep is like medicine for the mind and body. Sleep deprivation results in premature ageing, irritability and a short temper.

Rule 5: The total elimination of fast foods, ready to eat foods and packet foods may not be possible. But resolve to limit your consumption of these foods to just three meals a week. Such moderation will be helpful in the long run.

Rule 6: Replace 50 per cent of your flour-based food with whole grain-based food (such as dalia, unpolished rice, poha or dal with chilka). You get more minerals, protection against cancer and greater weight loss.

Rule 7: Drink alcohol in moderation( if taking), and gradually shift from potent liquor to fine wines. The maximum permissible level for health is two glasses of wine a day.

Rule 8: Exercise to destress and to tone your body. You should exercise not only for weight loss, but also to develop strong knees.

Rule 9: Laughter remains the best medicine.

Rule 10: Say your prayers and express your gratitude every day. Prayers can heal and correct every hurdle in life.

Marijuana Oil Helps 3-Year-Old Son Beat Cancer, Dad Says Truth Theory~

Marijuana Oil Helps 3-Year-Old Son Beat Cancer, Dad Says Truth Theory~

What would you do if your 3-year old son was stricken with brain cancer? Most parents wouldn’t think twice about bringing their child to a mainstream doctor, only to undergo modern-day cancer ‘treatments’ such as chemotherapy. This is what one father, Mike Hyde, from Montana did when his 3 year old was diagnosed with brain cancer, but the father doesn’t attribute his sons victory against cancer with the use of chemotherapy or any other mainstream treatment; the dad actually says marijuana oil is what made the young boy beat cancer. While the story isn’t recent, it is one that everyone should hear about.

Marijuana Oil Helps 3-Year-Old Son Beat Cancer
In May of 2010, radiologists at Community Medical Center in Missoula, Mont., discovered a stage 4 brain tumor in a 20-month-old boy named Cash. Shortly after the tumor was discovered, the toddler was brought to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he was placed in intensive care. It was recommended that Cash receive three cycles of chemotherapy, only to be followed by another 3 cycles of high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue. The boy would also receive ‘max amounts’ of anti-nausea pharmaceutical medications.

“After his first round of high-dose chemo in August 2010, he no longer ate anything, and this went on through September. He was getting worse and worse…By the end of September he was so sick. He no longer was able to take feedings into his G-tube. His stomach lining was burnt from the chemotherapy, it was no longer processing anything – it was fried. I asked doctors if there was anything else we can give him and they said ‘We’re giving him max amounts of all anti-nausea medications we can give him.’ They basically told me that this was as good as it was going to get. I told them that it was unacceptable,” Hyde said.

The results of the chemotherapy were less than effective, as with most chemotherapy treatments, and the anti-nausea drug cocktail was causing numerous side-effects. These results caused Hyde to pull his son off of the medication, and begin secretly administering .3 milligrams of marijuana oil through his sons’s G-tube. Hyde says that once he began with the marijuana oil, his son started eating again and his quality of life completely changed for the better. The father was told that it was a miracle that his son began sitting up and laughing again.

“Doctors told us he was not going to make it. He was on life support for 40 days and was in a medically-induced coma. They said he would have brain damage and his lungs would fail. But I knew the medicine (marijuana oil) was in his body, and that helped him heal. It helped to rebuild his stomach lining, his liver and his lungs. He walked out of the ICU in mid-December. The nurses and doctors called him a ‘Christmas miracle’,” says Hyde
Was this one of the few cases where chemo ended up working? Perhaps, but the this mainstream treatment nearly killed the young boy in the process.

“It brought him to the edge of life, and if I wouldn’t have stepped in when I did, he wouldn’t be here right now,” Hyde explained. “The marijuana oil was the best pain drug available for Cashy, as well as a neuro-protectant, antioxidant and antibacterial. I know it saves Cash’s life.”

Seeing how marijuana oil helped the young boy to survive isn’t surprising – the benefits of medical marijuana are vast, with the plant even able to fight cancer. The point of this story is to recognize that alternative solutions do exist which can be utilized. The marijuana and cancer relationship is very real; this is just one more of many cases that proves it.

Some facts you may don’t know about Coca-Cola!/PEPSI

Some facts you may don’t know about Coca-Cola!/PEPSI

Studies have been recently published by various NGOs, including the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), that the soft drink’s components are harmful for health

1. Caramel
The caramel used in coca-cola to get its brownie color is not natural; its a chemical mixture containing ammonia and sulfites which, when mixed with high temperature, can cause cancer of the lungs, liver or thyroid disease, as well as leukemia and according to CSPI U.S. research institute, these ingredients may be carcinogenic.
Several tests have been conducted on animals to reach that conclusion.

2. Phosphoric acid, a threat to the kidneys and bones.
While other sodas use citric acid, Coca-cola opted for phosphoric acid (or additive E338). This is also the ingredient that gives cola its unique taste. But it can, according to various U.S. studies conducted over the past decade, cause two serious diseases:
-kidney failure, which affects millions of people around the world and grows a little more each day.
- Osteoporosis (skeletal fragility) in pregnant women, partly due to a drop in calcium and bone mineral density (BMD).

3. Aspartame, the sweetener that is controversial
Aspartame is a sweetener found in soft drinks called "light", especially in Diet Coke. A study in 2010 showed that aspartame could cause liver tumor, lung tumor and even brain tumor.

For information, this study has been conducted by the Italian Morando Soffritti of the Ramazzini Institute in 2007 and is currently being validated by ANSES (National Agency of Sanitary Security).
Another study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition conducted by the Danish Thorhallur Halldorson, conducted on 60,000 pregnant women showed that premature births could be caused by aspartame.
