            Does sex make people healthier or do healthier people have more sex?

            Is sex good for your health—or is that just a fantasy? A flurry of small studies suggest that sex is as good for your health as vitamin D and broccoli. It not only relieves stress, improves sleep and burns calories, it can also reduce pain, ease depression, strengthen blood vessels, boost the immune system and lower the risk of prostate and breast cancer.

              Thinking Pink Hasn’t Helped Find Causes of Breast Cancer

              There’s frustration out there that we don’t know more," she says. "We’re wearing pink, walking and running to raise money for research, God knows we’re aware, and yet we still don’t really have a clue what causes this disease." Sure, researchers now know that two inherited breast cancer gene mutations, BRCA1 and BRCA2, account for a small percentage of breast cancers. And lifestyle factors like age at first childbirth, body weight, amount of exercise, and alcohol intake play some role in determining a woman’s risk. But 70 to 80 percent of those diagnosed with breast cancer, says Love, do everything right and have no gene mutations. I asked Love for her assessment of various hot-button issues pertaining to breast cancer. … Read ahead

              Women mistakenly given breast cancer all-clear

              Consequently the films of about 1,600 women were sent off to be reassessed externally. To date, of 1,477 returned, 1,302 have been told they need no more tests. Of the remainder, 130 have been advised to undergone further assessment. Of those 130, 49 have been seen so far, with 40 being told they do not need treatment. However, eight have been told they do need treatment and a further one has been told she has non-invasive breast cancer, which means it has not spread out into surrounding tissues. Carole Heatly, chief executive of North Cumbria University Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “Our trust fully understands and appreciates the distress and anxiety this issue will have caused and apologies to all concerned. “We are undertaking every measure possible to ensure that we provide the best high-quality service.” Screening has been suspended pending a major review of the service. … Read ahead

              Death by Breast cancer rates fall by over a third

              But while Britain has dropped from the top of the European league of death rates, it remains in the uneviable position of sixth worst out of 28 countries. It means survival rates are better in 21 other European countries including Romania, Estonia and the Czech Republic. Breast cancer still kills 12,000 women in Britain every year. British women remain far more likely to die of the disease than their Spanish, Scandinavian or Italian counterparts. Researchers in Northern Ireland, France, Italy and Norway compared mortality rates from breast cancer, as recorded on death certificates, from countries across western and central Europe. Their analysis, published in the … Read ahead

              DIY genetic test firms face new rules

              There are also concerns that parents who pay for a test for their offspring could be breaching their child’s rights. Now the Human Genetics Commission (HGC) has published a set of voluntary principles for the industry relating to all aspects, including marketing. The principles stop short of forming an official code of practice, which the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee called for last year. Its report said the industry must be much more tightly regulated and tests needed to be thoroughly reviewed before being marketed. Firms will be under no obligation to sign up to the new principles and there will be no official “mark” for consumers to look for. A report in The Times said the guidelines also recommend DNA testing of children should be not be allowed until they are old enough to give permission, except in cases cases where there is an immediate and compelling medical reason. Professor Jonathan Montgomery, chairman of the commission, told the newspaper testing of young children would only be appropriate for diagnosing serious illnesses such as cystic fibrosis. “In the context of children, it would seem inappropriate to test on the basis of parental consent alone. Ordinarily, children should have the opportunity to decide for themselves when they are old enough.” A spokesman for the Department of Health said it was impossible to pass legislation on the issue because so many of the companies are based abroad. The principles include offering counselling before and after tests for serious hereditary diseases (like Huntington’s and some forms of breast cancer), and making clear the possible outcomes of any genetic test. Easy-to-understand information should also be given to patients and claims about tests should be supported by evidence published in scientific journals. Dr Frances Flinter, chair of the HGC group which developed the principles, said: “Direct-to-consumer tests covering everything from hereditary illnesses to ancestry research are now available over the internet from companies in the USA and Europe. “Some tests can cause considerable surprise or concern to those taking them – or give false reassurance. “Some are of doubtful value, to say the least. “To cover this international market we need a set of ‘off the shelf’ principles that can be used everywhere.” Public health minister Anne Milton said: “People deserve to have confidence that the tests they choose are evidence based and that they fully understand what the results mean. “I am pleased that the UK’s Human Genetics Commission is showing much-needed leadership in cracking down on this. “These principles are a timely, appropriate and proportionate response to the growth in the direct-to-consumer genetic testing industry and I hope they bring much needed reassurance to patients.” The Department of Health said the principles were developed with representatives from the international genetic testing industry and represent a “high level of consensus about what constitutes good practice”. … Read ahead

              Skin Creams Containing Parabens Should Be Avoided During the

              A leading UK seller of Aloe Vera creams and cosmetics is asking consumers to check the ingredients in their skin care products to ensure parabens is not present. Whilst there is no established evidence that parabens in itself is harmful, research has indicated there may be a risk when cosmetics and sun creams containing parabens are exposed to sunlight. The research suggests that parabens used in skin care products may contribute to breast cancer, accelerated skin ageing and DNA damage, as well as contact dermatitis, rosacea (acne) and skin irritation for those allergic to the ingredient. Creams and cosmetics advertised as ‘natural’ and ‘organic’ often contain at least one synthetic type of parabens, including sunscreens, moisturising creams and lotions, cleansers, deodorants and toothpastes. It is used to preserve product shelf life. It can also be referred to in the ingredients list as methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben or butylparaben. A 2006 study conducted by researchers from the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine in Japan found parabens in 18 out of 20 samples of breast cancer. It concluded that further research needed to be undertaken to determine if the parabens group is safe. … Read ahead

              Prostate cancer treatment improving, says study

              Chicago — Doctors are reporting a key advance in treating men with cancer that has started to spread beyond the prostate: Survival is significantly better if radiation is added to standard hormone treatments. Results of the study were given Sunday at a cancer conference, where other research showed that an experimental drug boosted survival for women with very advanced breast cancer. The drug is being reviewed by the federal Food and Drug Administration. The prostate study has the potential to change care right away. About 20 percent of the nearly 200,000 men diagnosed with the disease each year in the United States are like those in the study – with cancer that has spread to the area around the prostate. … Read ahead
