EDITORS' RANTING
+++++++++++++++++

This last week has been such a learning experience and at the same time the most frustrating time of my life... Computers have a way of doing what they want sometimes and no matter what you do it just won't do what you want... Several things did not go so smoothly; in the host change over www.envirodocs.com and www.antibiotic-alternatives.com was down for almost 72 hours. Not a good feeling here. Thank you to those of you that emailed me to tell me there was something wrong with my website... Then when I uploaded my website the strangest thing happened, some pages were layered on each other that made for a mass mess, I'm still working at smoothing that out and get them working properly. If you run into a problem please let me know as I am still repairing and examining both sites...

Then came the ezine list and uploading all of your emails. Extremely time consuming and boring (almost 7,000). The problem came from the old list being formatted in such a manner it took hands on work to extract each email, but made it on the deadline... I was not at all sure on Friday that you would get A Natural Environmental Health Facts ezine today. I'm am not totally happy with the new ezine distribution system and may be changing that in the future, but that will have to wait until I get over this tiring time...

Orders still went out in a timely manner even though I had to go directly to PayPal to check them. Acknowledgments did not go out as usual but the orders will be received in the normal time.

Be sure to check out the recalls links belowas as there have been a lot of important ones on the list the last few weeks!

Something To Think About
=============

The Sweet and Lowdown on Sugar
By KELLY D. BROWNELL and MARION NESTLE

To lose weight, people must eat less, be more active, or both. The first part of that prescription, of course, raises the question, "Eat less of what?" For the World Health Organization and most nutritionists, one obvious answer is sugars. But the United States and American food companies seem to have a different idea.


Last spring, the W.H.O. and another United Nations group, the Food and Agriculture Organization, issued a report called "The Expert Consultation on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases." It suggested a strategy of dietary changes for individuals, including limits on sugar consumption, as well as policies that might make it easier for people to eat more healthfully.

The United States Department of Health and Human Services should have applauded, but instead it produced a 28-page, line-by-line critique centered on, of all things, what it called the report's lack of transparency in the scientific and peer-review process. Although the department framed the critique as a principled defense of scientific integrity, much evidence argues for another interpretation — blatant pandering to American food companies that produce much of the world's high-calorie, high-profit sodas and snacks, especially the makers of sugars, the main ingredients in many of these products.

The critique was sent to the W.H.O. in the hope that its executive board would reject its report when it met this week. Instead, the board decided to send the strategy to its full membership for a vote in May, but, under pressure from some member states, it gave dissenters an extra month to comment before a final draft is issued. If accepted in May, the strategy won't be binding, but it would provide guidelines to countries seeking to reduce obesity.

To understand the significance of this battle, it is crucial to know that Americans are not alone in gaining weight. Obesity is now a global epidemic, with the International Obesity Task Force estimating that one billion people are overweight or obese. In all but the poorest countries, obesity and its consequences — rising rates of heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, and so on — are overtaking malnutrition as major health problems. Modern society, with its overabundance of high-calorie food, makes healthful eating difficult.

That the food industry is disputing the W.H.O.'s science is all the more astonishing because the report is notable for the stunning banality of its dietary recommendations: eat more fruits and vegetables, and limit intake of foods high in fats and sugars. Such recommendations are no different from those issued by governments and health organizations since the late 1950's and are thoroughly supported by both science and common sense.

One recommendation in the report raised particular ire — that people should limit "free" sugars. "Free" refers to sugars added to foods that aren't thought of as sweet — mayonnaise and peanut butter, for example — as well as the more obvious soft drinks, snack foods, pastries and candy. The report suggests an upper limit of 10 percent of calories from added sugars — about the amount recommended by our own Department of Agriculture's food pyramid. According to the Agriculture Department, if you eat 2,200 calories a day, you should limit added sugars to 12 teaspoons. The typical American consumes 20. Added sugars made up 11 percent of calories in American diets in the late 1970's; they now are 16 percent overall and 20 percent for teenagers. By itself, that 20-ounce Coke or Pepsi in a school vending machine provides 15 teaspoons of sugars.

Understandably, industry lobbyists are uneasy about calls to cut consumption of sugars. One trade group, the Sugar Association, demanded that the W.H.O. remove an early draft of the report from its Web site and conduct another scientific review. It also vowed to use "every avenue available to expose the dubious nature" of the report, including asking members of Congress to challenge the United States' $406 million in contributions to the W.H.O.

When food industry executives or government officials complain about the lack of sound science, self-interest is generally at work. Internationally known scientists drafted the W.H.O. report. The report comes to obvious conclusions. Threatened by such conclusions, food companies and their friends in government try to pick apart the science, ridicule the process, and delay action, just as the cigarette industry did for so many years. Senators Larry Craig and John Breaux, co-chairmen of the Senate Sweetener Caucus, asked Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson to call on the W.H.O. to "cease further promotion" of the report, while trade associations for the sugar, corn refining and snack food industries questioned the report's legitimacy and asked for Mr. Thompson's personal intervention. They got it.

By making its position on the W.H.O. indistinguishable from that of the food industry, the Bush administration undermines the efforts of more forward-thinking food companies and threatens public health. Its action underscores the need for government to create a wall between itself and the food industry when establishing nutrition and public health policy. Recommendations to cut back on sugars may not please food companies, but it's time to stop trading calories for dollars.

Common Antioxidant May Help Treat Male Infertility
By Jennifer Warner
WebMD Medical News

Jan. 12, 2004 -- A common antioxidant may help men with problem sperm increase their chances of conceiving a child.

A new study shows that daily supplementation with coenzyme Q10 can help improve sperm movement in infertile men.

Decreased sperm motility, the percentage of sperm that move forward normally, is a common cause of male infertility.

Coenzyme Q10 Boosts Sperm Health

Researchers say coenzyme Q10 is known to be active in the testes and is an antioxidant that plays an important role in forming the membranes and other structures within cells by fighting the effects of oxidative stress.

In the study, published in the January issue of Fertility & Sterility, researchers looked at the effects of daily oral supplementation with 200 mg of coenzyme Q10 in 22 infertile men with low sperm motility.

At the start of the study, researchers found the men had lower-than-normal levels of coenzyme Q10 in their seminal fluid. After six months of supplementation with the antioxidant, the men experienced a significant increase in these levels.

In addition, researchers also found a significant increase in sperm motility, and this increase was linked to the rise in coenzyme Q10 levels.

Researchers say that if further studies confirm these results, supplementation with coenzyme Q10 may help in the treatment of male infertility caused by sperm motility problems.

 Higher Doses of Inhaled Steroid No Help to Asthmatics
The finding confirms latest physician recommendations
By Ed Edelson
HealthDay Reporter

FRIDAY, Jan. 23 (HealthDayNews) -- The longstanding practice of treating an asthma flareup by doubling the normal dose of an inhaled steroid doesn't work for most patients, a new British study finds.

Patients who took twice their customary dose for two weeks when their asthma symptoms worsened did no better than those who continued to take the usual dose, says a report in the Jan. 24 issue of The Lancet.

The study by physicians at Nottingham City Hospital included 390 people using inhaled steroids regularly to control their asthma symptoms. They were told to add a second inhaler when their symptoms worsened. One hundred ninety-two patients were given inhalers containing a steroid, and 198 were given inhalers with a placebo.

There was no significant difference in symptoms for those who got the extra inhaled drug, compared to those who got the placebo, the researchers report.

In 1995, British health officials issued guidelines that recommended doubling the dose. But they revised those last year, recommending against the double dose.

The Nottingham study was started before the issuance of those revised guidelines. It was also done because of a lack of evidence to substantiate the new guidelines, says trial leader Dr. Tim W. Harrison, a consultant respiratory physician at Nottingham.

"Our study came about trying to find enough evidence," he says. "Only since we started the study have the guidelines been more critical."

Doubling the dose is an option for some patients -- those who don't follow their recommended self-treatment measures faithfully, Harrison says. But because the participants in the study knew they were in a controlled trial, they were more likely to follow treatment recommendations, making the added dose less important, he says.

"What we are specifically saying is that if asthma is well-controlled and all of a sudden takes a dive because of an infection or another problem, doubling the dose in that setting will not be as effective in avoiding complications," Harrison says.

Dr. Hugh H. Windom, an associate clinical professor of immunology at the University of South Florida and a spokesman for the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, agrees with that assessment.

Only 10 percent of the people in the study experienced flareups, lower than expected in the general population of people with asthma, Windom says. "These were people much more attuned to what was going on" than many asthma patients, he says.

Windom adds that doubling the dose of an inhaled steroid remains an option, but only for patients who don't keep their symptoms under control.

That's something that specialists know but some family doctors might not, says Dr. Michael S. Blaiss, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.

There have been "numerous" studies done in emergency rooms and clinical practice showing that doubling the dose is not effective for most asthma patients, says Blaiss, who is clinical professor of pediatrics and medicine at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.

Still, he says, "I've seen it done. You see a lot of children being given increased doses of inhaled steroids for an acute asthma. But you can always tell that it doesn't work."

Inhaling more of a steroid is ineffective because the medication doesn't reach the target tissue, the delicate lining of the lungs, Blaiss says.

"Once you've got a fair amount of inflammation in the lungs, you're not getting penetration," he says.
