Something To Think About

Vitamin D may Protect Against MS
December 20, 2006


(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Vitamin D may help protect people against multiple sclerosis.

According to researchers who looked at blood levels of the vitamin and MS rates in more than 7 million members of the U.S. military, whites with the highest blood levels of the vitamin had a 62-percent lower risk of having MS than those with the lowest levels. The effect was not seen in other ethnic groups.

The investigators decided to study vitamin D's role in the condition because of its effects on the immune system. MS, which often strikes young adults and can lead to physical disabilities, is thought to be an autoimmune disease.

Why the protective effect was not seen in blacks and Hispanics remains a mystery, but the researchers speculate it may have something to do with the fact they had significantly lower blood levels of vitamin D overall. There were also fewer blacks and Hispanics in the study population than whites.

The investigators report it is too soon to recommend vitamin D supplements to ward off MS. However, they write these results fit in with previous studies indicating a link between the vitamin and the disease. "Our results converge with a growing body of evidence supporting a protective role for vitamin D in MS development," they write.

They suggest the next step might be a clinical trial conducted among people with a first-degree relative with the disease, as these people are at significantly higher risk of developing MS themselves.

The study was led by investigators from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

Smart Kids go Vegetarian!
Reported December 20, 2006


(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- A higher IQ at age 10 makes a child more likely to be a vegetarian at the age of 30, according to new research. Study authors are not sure why there is this link but report a number of factors could be involved.

Recent research suggests vegetarianism may be linked to lower cholesterol levels and a reduced risk of obesity and heart disease. This could explain why children who have higher IQs tend to have lower heart disease later in life -- they are more likely to be a vegetarian.

For the study, researchers included 8,179 men and women who were 30 years old and had their IQ tested when they were 10 years old. Researchers report at the age of 30 about 5 percent of the participants said they were vegetarian. Those with higher IQ at age 10 had an increased likelihood of being a vegetarian as an adult. The vegetarians were also more likely to be female, to be of higher occupational social class, and have higher academic and vocational qualifications. However, there was no difference in overall incomes.

Researchers say this finding could explain why higher IQ children have better heart health. They also say it could just be an example of lifestyle preferences that might be expected to vary with intelligence.

FDA Wants Sterner Pain Reliever Warnings
Dec. 19, 2006
By ANDREW BRIDGES

 
WASHINGTON (AP) - Popular over-the-counter pain pills such as aspirin, ibuprofen and acetominophen would have to carry labels with sterner warnings under a government proposal to better emphasize the drugs' risks.

Federal health officials on Tuesday cautioned the tens of millions of Americans who take the drugs of their potentially serious side effects and released the planned label changes.

Aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen and the other related over-the-counter drugs remain safe and effective when used as directed, the Food and Drug Administration said.

However, overdoses of acetaminophen can cause serious liver damage, even death, the FDA said.

For aspirin, ibuprofen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, there is a risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney injury even when patients take the correct dose. Those risks, too, are linked to thousands of deaths each year. The FDA cautioned the risk is low when compared to the number of patients who take the drugs.

Experts called the stepped-up warnings long overdue, since federal advisers called for similar label changes in 2002. An FDA official chalked it up to the time required to write new regulations.

"That is one of the disadvantages of the rule-making process," said Dr. Charles Ganley, director of the FDA office that oversees nonprescription products.

The drugs are found in hundreds of medicines sold to treat pain, headache and fever. Health officials worry that the wide availability of those combination products can lead to patients unintentionally overdosing. Doctors report cases of patients taking two or more medicines - say, one for pain and another for flu symptoms - without knowing they both contain acetaminophen.

The FDA already updated the warning labels on the drugs in the past. In 2002, FDA advisers recommended further changes. In 2004, some of the warnings contained in the new proposal were included in pharmacy brochures and public service ads - a move that some critics said didn't go far enough.
 
The latest proposed changes largely would strengthen and highlight those warning labels. They also would require the more prominent disclosure, using fluorescent or bold-faced type, of the presence of the drugs among a medication's ingredients.

"It's a step that's overdue and really reflects the consensus that came out of the meeting four years ago, which is helping the consumer know what they are taking," said Dr. Paul Watkins, a professor of medicine at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and a member of the 2002 advisory panel.

For acetaminophen, the labels also would warn of the risk of severe liver damage if patients take more than the recommended dose or consume three or more alcoholic drinks a day while on the drugs. The labels also would warn patients not to take multiple medicines that contain acetaminophen. In any given week, an estimated 48 million Americans take an acetaminophen product.

For aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, their labels would have to contain additional warnings of the risk of stomach bleeding. The labels would note the risk is higher in patients older than 59, or in those who have stomach ulcers, take blood-thinning drugs or steroids, use other drugs that contain an NSAID or remain on the medications for an extended period. An estimated 17 million Americans take an NSAID daily.

Acetaminophen is sold under the brand name Tylenol and in multiple generic versions. Acetaminophen sends an estimated 56,000 people to the emergency room each year, the FDA said. About 100 people die each year after unintentionally overdosing on the drug.

Ibuprofen is sold under the brand names Advil and Motrin and in generic form as well. Naproxen is best known as Aleve, but is also sold generically. The NSAIDs are blamed for sending more than 200,000 Americans to the hospital every year, and are linked to an estimated 16,000 deaths, the FDA said. The agency said it would address the cardiovascular risks of nonprescription NSAIDs in the future.

The proposal appeared Tuesday on the FDA's Web site ahead of its expected Dec. 26 publication in the Federal Register. Since it could take a year or more for the rule to become final, the FDA said it strongly encouraged companies to update their labels in the meantime, as some companies already have done.


Food and Drug Administration 

LENA'S COMMENT: In the '70s I worked with a doctor who was one of the researchers at Scripps Institute studying Acetaminophen and it's toxic effects in relation to the body. He told me that the study conclusions they found were very alarming... That was; there isn't a safe level for acetaminophen that even very small doses cause liver damage in most. Of course that was never released to the public, it was for doctor's only... So the warnings they are asking for isn't going to be accurate by a long shot...

SEWAGE DISCHARGES THREATEN GREAT LAKES
By Catherine Komp

A new report has found that U.S. and Canadian cities are polluting the Great Lakes system with billions of gallons of a toxic "cocktail" of sewage and storm water each year.

The Canadian-based Sierra Legal Defence Fund, which produced the report, says it means parts of the largest freshwater ecosystem on the planet are "in peril."

The researchers say the massive discharges of sewage into the lakes are making fish unsafe to eat, rendering the lakes unsafe for recreation, and polluting one of the main sources of drinking water in the region. About 84 percent of North America's "surface fresh water" comes from the Great Lakes, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.

The "Great Lakes Sewage Report Card" analyzed twenty US and Canadian cities, from Deluth to Kingston to Cleveland. It concluded that despite billions of dollars invested to improve sewage treatment over the last three decades, the cities dump a combined 24 billion gallons of municipal sewage -- a mixture of water, human waste, micro-organisms, disease-causing pathogens and toxic chemicals -- directly into local water systems each year.

Detroit and Cleveland ranked the lowest in the Sierra Legal report, generating a combined 338 billion gallons of sewage per year. Both scored poorly for some 19 billion gallons of "overflow" from their sewer systems into the environment.

Green Bay, Wisconsin received one the highest scores in the report because it had no known discharges of untreated sewage, no sewage overflow and no pollution-related violations.

Unlike Green Bay, the researchers said, numerous cities around the Great Lakes use combined sewage systems, or CSOs, that carry both sewage and storm-water. During heavy rainfall, these systems can exceed capacity and raw sewage can overflow directly into the environment.

The US government drafted a Combined Sewer Overflow Control Policy in 1994 and requires communities to develop long-term CSO control plans to help local governments comply with the Clean Water Act. The problem is not isolated to the Great Lakes region. As previously reported by The NewStandard, some 770 cities across the country use combined systems.

In 2004, President Bush signed an executive order creating the Great Lakes Interagency Task Force to deal with the accumulating environmental problems facing this freshwater system. The task force's responsibilities include improving water quality.

Calling the Great Lakes "a gift to all that live in the basin," Sierra Legal makes several recommendations, including a bigger financial investment from federal and local governments to improve CSOs. The group also says that more regulations, from banning toxic substances in manufacturing industries to enforcing sewer-use laws, could help to protect the water and biodiversity of the Great Lakes region.

"Countries as wealthy as Canada and [the] United States can surely afford to adequately treat their waste accordingly," wrote the report's authors.
