A study conducted in Massachusetts suggests that exposure to a solvent through drinking water may be associated with an increased risk for certain congenital anomalies, but the results are not entirely conclusive.

The solvent, named perchloroethylene or PCE (and sometimes named tetrachloroethylene), is used by the textile industry and is a component of aerosol dry cleaning products.  In 1980, New England government officials discovered that PCE was leaching from the  inner lining of certain public water supply pipes. The lining had been introduced in the 1960s to solve taste and odor problems in some parts of the water distribution system. Read more

Fatty acids found in fish such as salmon, mackerel or sardines have long been known to protect against conditions like heart disease.

Because of the health benefits official guidelines recommend eating at least two portions of oily fish a week, but many people eat far less.

The discovery, made in a group of heart patients, could help confirm many of the claims made about the benefits of the fatty acids, called omega-3 fatty acids. Read more

In what is being described as the first ever and most comprehensive study of the effects of genetically modified foods on mammalian health, researchers have linked organ damage with consumption of Monsanto’s GM maize.

All three varieties of GM corn, Mon 810, Mon 863 and NK 603, were approved for consumption by US, European and several other national food safety authorities. Made public by European authorities in 2005, Monsanto’s confidential raw data of its 2002 feeding trials on rats that these researchers analyzed is the same data, ironically, that was used to approve them in different parts of the world.

oI can tell what my three-year-old daughter has been snacking on because it’s visible all over her precious face. Would you be surprised to learn that the telltale signs of what you have been eating — or avoiding — are equally noticeable just by looking at your face? It’s true. Dermatologists explain that our skin is a window into our overall health and can show clues of what’s going on under the surface.

New research reported in the British Medical Journal states that enjoying a Mediterranean-style diet including a combination of olive oil, seeds, nuts, fresh fruits, vegetables – and only moderate alcohol intake – can improve overall health and longevity. And when we look at the faces of men and women from Mediterranean countries, who consume large amounts of olive oil, we see fewer wrinkles and firmer skin (despite avid sun-worshipping). And they not only have beautiful skin but cleaner arteries (on average) to boot! Read more

Strafford County, NH Woman in Critical Condition with Gastrointestinal Anthrax
Living in a small town, one doesn’t worry much about a terrorist attack near home. When a local resident is diagnosed with anthrax, however, the thought of terrorists and biological weapons is naturally one’s first thought.

By Brad Sylvester

On December 26th, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) announced that they are investigating the source of a case of anthrax contracted by a woman from Strafford County, New Hampshire,   the small town in which I live with my family. The DHHS has said that  it thinks the anthrax that this woman contracted was “naturally occurring.” Indeed, the type of anthrax that she has contracted, gastrointestinal anthrax is not the version we most often associate with the weaponized form of the anthrax. Weaponized anthrax is generally refined to make the deadly spores more readily airborne and inhaled. This is much easier to spread, harder to confine, and generally results in inhalation anthrax.
