Ovarian Cancer: Newsfeed 10 May Toxic roulette. By the early 2000s, the flame retardant known as penta had become a villain. The only U.S. company that made penta soon introduced a replacement, hailing it as the beginning of an eco-friendly era. EPA promised that the new flame retardant had none of the problems of the old one. But documents obtained by the Tribune show that scientists within the EPA were deeply skeptical about the safety of Firemaster 550. 4 May The down and dirty on salmon. It started when a friend asked Harriet Sugar Miller what kind of salmon to buy: Wild or farmed? Atlantic or Pacific? Fresh or canned? The freelance health journalist and self described "research nut," set out in search of answers. 4 Apr Cancer risk can depend on what you eat, Dubai dietician says. People should eat less fried and processed food to cut cancer risks, medical and food experts say. Concerns were recently raised after reports that an Indian brand of chilli powder had been contaminated with Sudan I, a red dye that has been linked to cancer. 3 Apr Genome sequencing has its limits, researchers say. Researchers have found that whole genome sequencing fails to provide solid insight into whether someone will develop a variety of common diseases because the interplay of genetic mutations acquired after birth through environmental factors influences risk levels for common diseases. 30 Mar Daughter of shipyard worker dies of lung cancer after breathing in his asbestos-ridden clothes. A mother-of-two died of cancer because she used to welcome her shipyard worker father home from work each night with a hug, an inquest heard today. 6 Mar Lawsuit links illnesses to north St. Louis County creek. A group of 13 people from North County filed a lawsuit Tuesday in U.S. District Court alleging that reckless and negligent actions related to nuclear waste caused their cancers and other illnesses. Two of the plaintiffs have died and are suing through their relatives. 6 Mar EPA delivers 'CARE' package. In the 34 years Kathie Capozzi has lived in the Town of Tonawanda, she?s dealt with a host of medical problems, but what really chokes her up is what her children have been through. Capozzi lays all these issues squarely on pollution in the town. 6 Mar It is time for Quebec to stop investing in asbestos. There has been much discussion in the media lately regarding the status of asbestos in Quebec. 12 Feb For pregnant women with cancer, chemo possible. Doctors have long worried about how to balance treating a pregnant woman with cancer and the need to protect her fetus from the effects of toxic cancer drugs and radiation treatments, and whether it is safe to continue a pregnancy in certain situations. 30 Jan Caffeine may alter women's estrogen levels, study says. Caffeine changes women's estrogen levels and has different effects in Asian and white women, a new study says. 12 Jan Unraveling the obesity-cancer connection. Obese and diabetic individuals have a far higher risk than lean healthy people of getting cancer, and when they do get it, their risk of dying from it is greater. And now that obesity and diabetes rates are skyrocketing, the need to understand this link has become far more urgent. A growing body of research shows that insulin and a related hormone play a key role in fueling tumors. 21 Dec Breast cancer gene could also affect heart health. Toronto researchers have discovered evidence that a genetic mutation linked to higher rates of breast cancer may also play a critical role in regulating proper heart function. 17 Dec Don't blame the usual suspect for cancer. What if proliferation is the norm for cells ? and a very different theory of cancers' cause is waiting in the wings? 4 Dec Sleepwalking into climate catastrophe. Charles Darwin should be with us at this hour. He would find our species, in the way it deals with its survival and the survival of other species, similar to the boobies he found on the Galapagos Islands. |
