Tobacco is a mood-altering, addictive drug
that kills 500,000 Americans a year (200 million worldwide)
Costs $400 billion each year, according to "Smoking and Health
Review," (1992).
The American Lung Association says tobacco contains more than 4,000
chemicals, 60 of which causes cancer.
Some of the 'killers' are radioactivity, arsenic, ammonia, lead,
formaldehyde, nitrogen dioxide, cadmium, phenol, benzene and hydrogen
cyanide (the 'gas chamber' gas that poisons the respiratory enzymes)

Asthma inhaler drug may not work
A drug in some asthma inhalers may not help sufferers
An ingredient in some asthma inhalers could actually counteract its own
beneficial effect, a study shows.
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh found albuterol, an
anti-inflammatory drug, may not work.
The drug is made up of two components, one which reduces inflammation,
and an inactive one, which the study says may actually reverse the
effect.
Albuterol, or Salbutamol as it is known in the UK, is used along with
steroids in reliever asthma inhalers.
It is one drug in a class of medications called beta-agonists, used to
help relax and open the muscles surrounding air passages in the lungs.
They are not used in long-term preventative inhalers.
Paradoxical effect
However it has been suspected that long-term use of albuterol may not
help asthmatics.
Dr Williams Ameredes at the University of Pittsburgh said they have seen
a paradoxical effect in albuterol use in asthmatics, with some having
responses severe enough to land them in hospital.
Albuterol contains two components, or isomers. These are called '(S)-albuterol'
and '(R)-albuterol'.
(R)-albuterol is the active component of the drug. It is designed to act
as an anti-inflammatory to dilate the airways, while (S)-albuterol was
thought to have no effect at all.
However the study found while the active component does work as an
anti-inflammatory, the other component actually works against it.
Dr Ameredes said: "These results indicate that (S)-albuterol may
diminish the beneficial anti-inflammatory effects of steroids by a
mechanism that is not currently understood."
He said further studies would be needed to find out why albuterol acts
in this way.
Disease management
A spokesperson at the National Asthma Campaign said albuterol, or
Salbutamol, is only used to relieve asthma symptoms in the short-term,
not to provide long-term prevention.
"We should make it clear that anybody with asthma who has to use their
Salbutamol every day or even several times a week should consider going
back to their GP to discuss their asthma, as this can be a sign of
worsening asthma."
Martyn Partridge, Chief Medical Advisor to the National Asthma Campaign
told BBC News Online: "What is important is for those with asthma to
have well controlled disease so that use of short acting relieving beta
agonists is rarely needed."
The findings were presented at the annual meeting of the American
Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology.

Something To Think About
============================
Six Reasons Why Cancer Rates Among Teens are on the Rise
By Dr. Joseph Mercola
with Rachael Droege
Cancer is now the leading cause of death among teens and young adults
after accidents in England. Among this 13 to 24-year-old age group,
cancer rates have been increasing at a rate of 1.2 percent per year for
the past two decades. The researchers mention genetic factors, lifestyle
changes and exposure to toxins before birth as possible causes for the
increase, but there are many more possibilities for the steady increase.
Environmental Toxins
Most human research in cancer risk from exposure to toxins begins after
the cancer is diagnosed. However, as chemicals and other toxins are
increasingly saturating our environment, researchers are beginning to
look at the effect of these environmental toxins, such as pesticides and
PCBs, on an unborn child.
For instance, several human studies have found a link between fetal
exposure to contaminants and cancer in children and young adults.
Studies reviewed include occupational exposures of parents and brain
cancers in children; pesticides, paints, paint thinners and solvents and
leukemia; and cigarette smoke and childhood cancer.
An embryo and fetus develop at a much faster rate than adults. While
this development occurs, cell division and growth is rapid. These rapid
changes provide many opportunities for mistakes to occur. If a baby is
exposed to several toxic compounds in utero, changes may occur that
either directly cause cancer, or lengthen the period of sensitivity to
carcinogens, therefore making the child more susceptible to cancer later
in life.
Polio Vaccines
The polio vaccine seems ever more linked to cancers, especially in
children. The evidence seems quite clear yet most continue to go down
the path of blindly trusting the traditional paradigm to ?save? them
from disease through the use of vaccinations.
This should outrage nearly anyone that reads this. We trusted these
experts to provide us with protection from polio and instead they
planted the seeds of a deadly cancer that would kill over 20,000 a year
in the United States.
This is particularly troublesome as polio can be prevented in most
people simply by eliminating sugar from their diet.
If you were one of those people who received the vaccine you can do
something positive to enhance your immune system. Increasing your amount
of omega-3 fats and decreasing the omega-6 fats will be a potent step
toward suppressing these types of cancers. Consuming high-quality fish
oil or cod liver oil is an excellent way to obtain the outstanding
health benefits of omega-3.
Inadequate Prenatal Nutrition
What a woman eats while pregnant can have a profound effect on the
future health of her child. Researchers have discovered that a mother?s
diet can even alter her child?s gene functions without changing the DNA
sequence, which plays a large role in the child?s susceptibility to
diseases like cancer, stroke, diabetes, schizophrenia and others.
I am convinced that the single most important dietary influence for
prenatal nutrition is adequate omega-3 fats. As I mentioned above, the
ideal way to obtain them is through fish oil or cod liver oil.
Optimizing your omega-3 fats will virtually guarantee that the baby is
full term as well.
Pressure-Treated Wooden Playground Equipment
Some 90 percent of all outdoor wooden structures in the United States
are made with pressure-treated wood. The preservative used to treat the
wood contains arsenic--a known human carcinogen--that rubs off when the
wood is touched.
Children tend to put their hands in their mouth about 16 times an hour
while playing, and those who have arsenic on their hands are at an
increased risk of developing lung and bladder cancer.
Some woods like redwood and cedar do not require this arsenic-containing
preservative and are therefore not a concern. Plastic and metal
equipment should pose no risk.
Electricity Power Lines
Children who live near electricity power lines are at an increased risk
of developing leukemia. One theory to why this occurs is that the high
voltage lines emit charged particles called ions, which may then be
inhaled.
CT Scans
CT scans are high in potentially dangerous radiation, and pose a
significant threat to children. CT scans, and traditional X-rays, have
been associated with cancer and heart disease. I recommend you avoid CT
scans unless your or your child's life depends upon it. MRIs are
typically safer than CT scans.

Study: Wheat-Free Foods May Contain Wheat
As Much as 20% of Wheat-Free Foods Contain Detectable Amount of Wheat
Proteins
By Melissa Schorr
WebMD Medical News
Reviewed By Brunilda Nazario, MD
March 22, 2004 (San Francisco) -- One fifth of common grocery foods
labeled wheat-free or gluten-free may actually contain significant
amounts of wheat protein, a concern for people with wheat allergies.
"Caution must be taken when eating foods labeled gluten-free," says
Ashley Lardizabal, a graduate student at the Food Allergy Research and
Resource Program at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. She presented
her findings at the Annual Meeting of the American Academy of Allergy,
Asthma & Immunology.
Although frequently underdiagnosed, about one in every 150 people in the
U.S. is affected by allergies to gluten -- found in rye, wheat, oats,
and barley. Doctor's call this condition gluten sensitivity or celiac
sprue.
There is no single standard for defining a gluten-free product.
Therefore, the researchers conducted their study to find out the levels
of wheat proteins in all types of foods.
The researchers tested 140 different food samples purchased at the
grocery store to see whether people who suffer from gluten sensitivity
could safely eat them.
The researchers tested a variety of products likely to contain wheat,
including gums, alcohol, soy sauce, vinegars, and malt liquors, as well
as "wheat-free" products. Overall, 16% of the products tested contained
wheat proteins.
Most disturbingly, Lardizabal reports that 20% of the products labeled
wheat-free actually contained some wheat protein -- even exceeding
current labeling guidelines for gluten free.
In products considered non-wheat, such as chicken bouillon, corn cereal,
and caramel ice cream topping, about 15% still contained some wheat
proteins, most likely from cross-contamination during processing, she
says.
All of the malt products contained wheat proteins; however, none of the
alcohol products or gums contained any wheat protein.
"The good news is dietary choices are not as restricted as assumed," she
says. "Food gums and distilled products are expected to be safe."
However, patients with gluten sensitivity should not eat wheat starches,
malt syrup, or extracts.
"This is in line with other studies that have shown there are
contaminates," Wesley Burks, a professor of pediatrics at Duke
University, who moderated the session, tells WebMD. "Be aware. If you
are eating something that says it's wheat-free but [you're] having
symptoms, talk to your physician."

FOOD OF THE
WEEK
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away!" is really
true!
Apples are known to help keep the immune system healthy
Apples are a marvelous anti-aging food. They stabilize blood sugar,
lower blood pressure, control the appetite and keep the cardiovascular
system healthy.
Researchers have found that those who eat more apples tend to have a
lower incidence of colds and upper respiratory ailments. In 2003 it was
reported by one study group that those who ate apples could probably
avoid asthma.
There are numerous types of apples but they vary very little in the
nutrient content, so eat whichever type you prefer and expect basically
the same results!
* Apples have no fat, cholesterol or sodium, and a medium-size apple
contains only 80 calories.
* A medium-size apple provides five grams of dietary fiber - 20 percent
of the recommended daily intake. This is more than oatmeal or most
breakfast cereal, which can lower cholesterol as well as keep your
intestines healthy and moving as they should!
* Apple sauce, apple juice and apple cider are a tasty way to get your
minimum five servings of fruits and vegetables per day for optimum
health. Six ounces of apple juice or apple cider or one-half cup (4
ounces) of apple sauce count as one daily fruit serving.
* Apples contain pectin, a water-soluble fiber found to reduce levels of
cholesterol by removing it from the blood stream.
* Apples are a good source of potassium, which may help to maintain
healthy blood pressure.
* Apples contain complex carbohydrates that give you energy faster than
eating something high in sugar.
* Apples contain boron, an essential trace element that helps to harden
bones, which may reduce the onset of osteoporosis.
* Apples have been shown to be better than coffee or caffeine to give
you that morning boost of energy!
Be sure to eat the skin (wash it first) because it contains pectin
fiber, a soluble type of fiber, which is a well known anti-cholesterol
agent.
Around our house we prefer apples raw or cooked whole as desert.
Core the apple and trim the bottom of the apple.
Place it in an oven safe dish.
Fill the apple core hole with butter and brown sugar, cover dish with
foil and bake in a preheated 350F degree oven for about 40 minutes. If
you have more than two apples extend baking time by 5 minutes per apple.
Or place butter and brown sugar filled apples in a microwave safe dish
and microwave as you would a baked potato.
Eating an apple a day will keep the doctor away as well as keep you
younger in many ways.
Fructose Sweetener Linked to Obesity Rise
By STEVE HARTSOE
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Researchers say they've found more evidence of a
link between a rapid rise in obesity and a corn product used to sweeten
soft drinks and food since the 1970s.
The researchers examined consumption records from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture for 1967-2000 and combined it with previous research and
their own analyses.
The data showed an increase in the use of high-fructose corn sweeteners
in the late 1970s and 1980s "coincidental with the epidemic of obesity,"
said one of the researchers, Dr. George A. Bray, a longtime obesity
scientist with Louisiana State University System's Pennington Biomedical
Research Center. He noted the research didn't prove a definitive link.
"Body weights rose slowly for most of the 20th century until the late
1980s," Bray said. "At that time, many countries showed a sudden
increase in the rate at which obesity has been galloping forward."
LENA'S NOTE:I find this rather insolent, since they are
linking just the corn sweetener to the outcome... The soft drink has as
much sugar as corn sweetener and then the body changes that occur when
consumed makes it more likely that a combination of things are the
problem at best... Simply the fact that soda has replaced water as the
liquid of choice sounds much or plausible to me! It appears that they
are placing the blame away from the real culprit, soda!
KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) - An unidentified flesh-eating disease is killing
staghorn coral in the Florida Keys.
Staghorn coral, so named because of its antler-like branches, is already
in steep demise in the Keys.
Since the 1970s, 80 to 90 percent of the island chain's reef tract has
died, according to the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary.
Pollution, algae blooms, sediment and a host of diseases have been
blamed, among them coral bleaching, black-band and white-band disease
and white plague. But this coral-tissue-eating disease appears to be a
newcomer.
"A lot of very freshly exposed skeletons alerted me," said Dana
Williams, a postdoctoral associate at the University of Miami. "But we
have no idea what it is."
The scientists determined that the disease could be spread by the small
coral snail, which eats coral, but do not yet know whether humans can
transmit it too.
Scientists at the Hollings Marine Laboratory in South Carolina are
trying to identify the unknown disease.
Williams and Margaret Miller, an ecologist with the National Oceanic &
Atmospheric Administration, first detected bald patches of staghorn at
two reefs off Key Largo last April.
NOAA sealed off the small reefs for two months, fearful that the malady
could be spread by boats, divers and snorkelers.
In field tests, scientists pressed fragments of healthy coral against
diseased branches, and watched as the six- to eight-inch fragments died
within four to five days.
The team later detected the disease present in 14 out of 17 sites.
Another survey this past February revealed that just 10 percent of each
infected colony was alive, Williams said.
LENA'S NOTE:Not only are humans in danger with flesh
eating mega bacteria but now the ocean kingdom, which is an indicator of
how well the human world is to survive!
