Promising news for the nearly twelve million adults who suffer from the devastating effects of Alzheimer's in the USA and Europe: the simple addition of Omega-3s to the diet may prevent the onset and progression of the disease. According to a newly published study from the December issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, Omega-3 can halt the build up of a certain plaque that is believed to be a cause of Alzheimer's disease.
Fluoride - Over-consumption of fluoride is common – in addition to our tap water, fluoride is added to toothpaste, mouthwash, medications, beverages, and even some foods. Over-consumption of fluoride often causes dental fluorosis – a discoloring or pitting of the teeth. A 16-year study that tracked 700 children showed that mild fluorosis was 50 percent more likely among children who lived in fluoridated areas compared to children who didn't drink fluoridated tap water. Chinese studies have linked high fluoride intake with lower I.Q. Studies with lab animals reveal that high fluoride intake may increase bone fracture risk. A National Research Council (NRC) committee reviewed hundreds of fluoride studies and concluded that fluoride intake can alter endocrine function, especially in the thyroid.
Supplements of antioxidants and carotenoids may improve retinal health in people with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), suggesting a role beyond prevention, suggests a new study from Italy. A combination of vitamins C and E, zinc, copper, lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin was found to improve the function of the central retina among 27 people with non-advanced AMD, scientists report in the journal Ophthalmology.
AN INAPPROPRIATE analysis of clinical trial data by researchers at GlaxoSmithKline obscured suicide risks associated with paroxetine, a profitable antidepressant, for 15 years, suggest court documents released last month. Not until 2006 did GSK alert people to raised suicide risks associated with the drug, marketed as Paxil and Seroxat.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration has warned of adverse side-effects from oral Lamisil, a pill formulation for ringworm and nail fungal problems. It is prescribed for people who do not respond to fungal creams but the TGA says it can cause liver failure. The TGA has received 722 adverse event reports on Lamisil, known generically as terbinafine, including 70 liver reactions, 61 implicating the tablet form as the sole suspected drug.
PLEASE TELL THE EPA TO BAN THE TOXIC PESTICIDE ENDOSULFAN - The EPA has opened a public comment period on whether a toxic pesticide used on food and cotton in the U.S. should be taken off the market. The pesticide, endosulfan, which is banned in much of the world, harms the hormone system, and low levels of exposure in the womb have been linked to autism, male reproductive harm and other birth defects. The European Union, where it is banned, considers it one of the most toxic pesticides on the global market. The Organic Consumers Association is joining with Pesticide Action Network and other allies in gathering tens of thousands of petition signatures to drive this toxic pesticide off the market now.

The FDA is threatening the Hain Celestial Group for using the natural sweetener stevia in its tea products. According to the FDA, stevia has not been approved as a food and therefore the Celestial products can not be labeled as a "tea". Stevia, a natural sweetener derived from South America, is widely used as a natural zero calorie sweetener in countries around the world, including Brazil, Canada, China and Japan. But the FDA, under pressure from corporate profiteering of synthetic sweeteners like aspartame, has been stalling on approving stevia for over a decade. Hain Celestial Group responded to the FDA threats and said the company would remove the term "iced tea mix" from all labels of the products in question and highlight the words "herbal supplement".
