Warning About Body Building Supplement
California health officials are warning consumers to avoid a group of dietary supplements used by body builders because of the danger of sickness or even death.
The officials say a product containing 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BD) caused three body builders in Riverside County to be hospitalized with acute respiratory failure and delirium.
Products containing 1,4-BD, also known as 1,4 tetramethylene glycol, 1,4 butylene glycol, butane 1,4 diol or Sucol-B, are sold under a variety of names including enLiven, Zen, Serenity, Somato-Pro, Orange FX Rush, Lemon FX Drop, Cherry FX Bomb, Borametz, Pine Needle Extract, Promusol or BVM.
The products can be in liquid, powder, capsule or other forms and claim to build muscles, improve physical performance and enhance sex. But, there can be serious side effects including headaches, vomiting, slow heart rate, slow breathing and seizures.

Could there be a Gene for Longevity ?
Scientists are in a search for a gene that may be a deciding factor for a long life at least in some. In this pursuit Harvard scientist Tom Perls feel that they have found such a gene, a discovery they hope could ultimately be used to make a pill to lengthen life.
The scientists feel that they have strong evidence that an important longevity gene may be located in a small stretch of chromosome 4. The function of the gene is unknown and its possible that more than one gene may be involved. It is thought that the gene may be somehow conferring resistance to disease. That is why many centenarians remain remarkably healthy.
Conventional wisdom that diet, exercise, avoidance of smoking and other good habits prolong life is certainly true for most of us but there may be something like a 'genetic booster rocket' that propels a very small percentage of humanity from 80 years-old stage to centenarian status.

There is much evidence contrary to the postulations in favor of the longevity gene. A large body of scientific research suggests that environment counts for more. In 1993, a study of 600 Danish twins found that gene account for only 30 % of the reason that some people live to the ripe old age. But that may not be the last word.
But many researchers were surprised to find that many of the centenarians were not particularly free of vices. Many eat fatty foods regularly, and some were couch potatoes. French women Jeanne Calment, the oldest person in documented history when she died at an age of 122, was a smoker.
Four families in New England were found to have unusual cluster of centenarians. In one family, eight of the ten siblings lived to be at least 90 years old. The odds of that happening by chance is too remote. Similar clusters of centenarians were found in many families. Part of the clustering may be explained by the fact that the siblings share similar upbringing and habits. But some of the families included centenarians who lived far apart. In some families the spouses sharing many habits did not live particularly long..

Milk is Not the Only Bone-Builder
Milk may be good for your body, but a team of British researchers say there are other alternatives to building strong bones. Scientists at the University of Surrey, in England, studied 62 healthy Scottish women ages 45 to 55. Women who ate foods rich in zinc, magnesium, potassium, fiber and vitamin C had stronger bones and lower rates of bone loss than women who got lower amounts of these vitamins and minerals. Researchers also found moderate alcohol consumption may have a healthy effect on bone development, but how that works remains unclear. Foods that are the richest sources of zinc, magnesium and potassium include baked potatoes with the skin, green peas, bananas, enriched breakfast cereal and beef. Citrus fruits are an excellent source of vitamin C, and fiber is found is most fruits and vegetables. Researchers say the findings lend more support to the importance of eating a diet heavy in fruits and vegetables.

Passive Smoke Bad for Heart
Research has been divided on whether passive smoking can cause heart disease, but a new report suggests there is a slightly increased risk. Researchers at Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine in New Orleans analyzed 18 studies on the relationship between passive smoking and heart disease. While it's been long known active smoking increases the risk of heart disease, scientists have not concluded whether passive smoking also poses a risk. According to the new report, nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke increased their risk of heart disease by 1.25 times compared with nonsmokers who were not exposed. Researchers also say there was a significant relationship between the amount of exposure and nonsmokers' response in the studies they analyzed. Nonsmokers exposed to the smoke of one to 19 cigarettes a day ran 1.23 times the risk and those exposed to more than 20 cigarettes daily ran 1.31 times the risk of nonsmokers who were not exposed. Reseachers say environmental smoke may increase the heart rate, blood pressure and carbon monoxide levels in the blood. "The only safe way to protect nonsmokers from exposure to cigarette smoke is to eliminate this health hazard from public places and workplaces, as well as from the home," the researchers write in the March 25 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine.

Women Need Vitamin E
A new study shows that post-menopausal women can lower their risk of heart disease by eating more foods rich in the antioxidant vitamin E. Researchers at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor studied 54 post-menopausal women who kept track of everything they ate and the vitamin pills they took for six days. They also measured the time it took the women's low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL), the so-called "bad" cholesterol, to oxidize. According to the study results, women who had a high intake of vitamin E from food showed a desirable reduction in the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Researchers also noted that taking vitamin E supplements showed no benefit. "It's possible that vitamins taken in supplement form may block some of the benefits of vitamins taken from food," says lead study author Dr. Lori Mosca. "The best scientific evidence we have is that eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is protective against heart disease. We can never be sure exactly which nutrient is providing the benefits, and it is likely that several different nutrients are involved. That's why we recommend getting vitamin E from foods." Foods rich in vitamin E include nuts, vegetable oils, whole grains and wheat germ. The findings of this study were presented today at the annual meeting of the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiologists in Orlando.

Coffee May Combat Cancer
New research presented this week at a national meeting of scientists will bring a smile to the lips of coffee drinkers everywhere: Coffee may help reduce the risk of cancer. According to a new study conducted by researchers in Texas and Canada, roasted coffee beans contain "cancer chemopreventive agents." To demonstrate this, researchers fed hamsters either normal diets or one of the following, diets containing 15 percent roasted coffee beans, 13 percent roasted coffee beans, defatted coffee beans, or about 2 percent roasted coffee bean oil. Defatted coffee beans are stripped of their natural fatty oils. The hamsters were also exposed to tumor-causing agents three times a week for a total of 36 times. Each of the diets containing coffee beans showed anti-cancer activity in the hamsters, the researchers report, suggesting roasting does not alter the cancer-fighting effects of the beans. This study, presented this week at a meeting of the American Chemical Society in Anaheim, Calif., is one of many new studies showing the benefits of beverages containing coffee, tea, and chocolate. Other new research has found that caffeine is not addictive and coffee consumption may reduce the risk of colon cancer.

Caffeine Not Addictive
If you think you're addicted to that morning cup of java, a new study shows it takes more than average coffee consumption to develop an addiction. Researcher Astrid Nehlig of the French National Health and Medical Research Institute in Strasbourg, France, says her study involving laboratory animals showed the area of the brain responsible for addiction is not affected by normal caffeine consumption. In her animal tests, Nehlig found caffeine's effects are different from amphetamines, cocaine, morphine and nicotine. The average consumption of three cups of coffee a day is too low of a dose, says Nehlig, who adds that consumers would have to drink seven or more cups of coffee in rapid succession to begin to activate this area of the brain. "Activation of the circuitry of addiction and reward occurs only at high doses of caffeine, which probably induce already adverse effects," such as depression, anxiety and nervousness, Nehlig says. The study confirmed that caffeine does increase alertness and energy. This study was presented at the American Chemical Society's annual meeting in Anaheim, Calif.

Milk Does Not Protect Bones, Group Says
A vegetarian group claims drinking milk does not protect bones from osteoporosis and that fruits and vegetables are a better source of calcium.
The Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine says consumers benefit more by getting their calcium from green, leafy vegetables and orange juice.
"It is vital to understand that milk is useless against osteoporosis, so that people will understand what really does help," says Dr. Neal Barnard, president of PCRM.
According to the PCRM, an 8-ounce serving of orange juice contains 350 milligrams of calcium, 130 mg. of which are absorbed by the body. By comparison, an 8-ounce serving of milk has 291 mg. of calcium, 93 mg. of which are used by the body.
The group's claims are based on two studies. The first, the Harvard Nurses' Health Study, looked at 78,000 women over a 12-year period and found milk-drinkers suffered more bone fractures than women who did not drink milk.
The National Osteoporosis Foundation says people can get their calcium intake from a variety of places, and should not consider milk is useless.
"The vast majority of evidence from well-controlled clinical trials clearly shows that calcium from foods or supplements increases bone mass in younger people, decreases bone loss in older individuals, and, in association with vitamin D intake, substantially decreases the risk of osteoporotic fracture," says the foundation's Dr. Robert Heany. "We have to go with the facts. Milk works."
The foundation recommends that people get 1,200 mg. of calcium a day. A glass of milk contains about 300 mg.
About 28 million Americans suffer from osteoporosis. Health experts recommend low-fat dairy products as a source of calcium.

Coffee Boosts Blood Pressure, Hormones
Drinking four or five cups of coffee a day raises blood pressure and stress-related hormones throughout the day, researchers report in two studies.
In one study, researchers at Duke University Medical Center in Durham studied 72 habitual coffee drinkers. They found these people had a 32 percent increase in the stress hormone adrenaline and a 14 percent increase in noradrenalin compared with days they abstained from coffee.
Adrenaline and noradrenalin help the body respond to stress, but overproduction can damage the heart over an extended period of time. Coffee also increased their blood pressure by an average of three points, researchers reported today at the 1999 Society of Behavioral Medicine meeting in San Diego.
Another recent study published in the March issue of Hypertension found chronic coffee consumption increased systolic blood pressure by an average of 2.4 millimeters per mercury (mm Hg) and an average of 1.2 mm Hg for diastolic blood pressure.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore also calculated each cup of coffee consumed during the day raised systolic blood pressure by 0.8 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by 0.4 mm Hg.
Investigators also pointed out that the effects of coffee on blood pressure was more pronounced among young people.

Heartburn linked to cancer
(AP) - People who suffer frequent heartburn and acid reflux run a higher risk of developing cancer of the esophagus, and taking antacids won't reduce the danger, a study found. Heartburn is a burning pain in the chest that people commonly associate with spicy foods or overeating. Acid reflux is a regurgitation of acid from the stomach into the esophagus because of a faulty valve. Doctors suspect over time, the irritating acid causes cellular changes in the esophagus that can lead to the most deadly form of esophageal cancer, adenocarcinoma. The study on the connection was conducted by Swedish researchers and published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine.

Health problems during middle age can speed up the aging process in the brain and increase the risk of stroke in later years, according to the results of a new study. The results, reported in this month's American Heart Association journal Stroke, indicate that routine check-ups in middle age to look for hidden risk factors may be the key to preventing strokes later in life.
"Things like high blood pressure, smoking, drinking excessively -- these are what we call risk factors," says Dr. Ralph Sacco of Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. "(Researchers) were able to now find these factors also increase the findings of abnormalities in the brain in later years."
Of all of the risk factors, high blood pressure was considered the strongest. And regular check-ups are key to finding hypertension, because patients often feel perfectly fine and don't know their pressure is elevated.
People can often lower their risk with simple lifestyle changes, including an improved diet and exercise. In some cases, however, medication may be necessary.

FIZED BRACES
How Do Braces Work?
Braces are impressive little gadgets. Over time, they move your teeth. But how do they do it?
Braces have three basic parts (more are shown in this photo):
Brackets made of metal or ceramic. A bracket is attached to each tooth.
Bonding material (glue) or a metal band. This is what attaches the bracket to the tooth.
An Arch Wire, which is a thin metal wire that runs from bracket to bracket and puts pressure on the teeth.
The teeth move when the arch wire puts pressure on the brackets and teeth. Sometimes, springs or rubber bands are used exert more force in a specific direction. Braces exert constant pressure, which over time, move teeth into their proper positions. Occasionally adults may need to wear headgear to keep certain teeth from moving (see A Few Words About Headgear for more information).
Your teeth are surrounded on top by gum tissue (also called Gingiva). Under the gum tissue, the Periodontal Membrane (sometimes called the Periodontal Ligament or PDL) encases the bottom portion of the tooth. Next to that lies Alveolar Bone.
When braces put pressure on your teeth, the periodontal membrane stretches on one side and is compressed on the other. This loosens the tooth. The bone then grows in to support the tooth in its new position. Technically, this is called bone remodeling.
Teeth Move Through Bone Remodeling
Bone remodeling is a biomechanical process responsible for making bones stronger in response to sustained load-bearing activity and weaker in the absence of carrying a load. Bones are made of cells called osteoclasts and osteoblasts.
Bone remodeling works like this: increase the load on a bone and osteoclasts are created which break it down in response to the load. Remove the load and osteoblasts are created which create new bony cells. Repeat the process through repetitive motion and eventually the bone density increases.
Your teeth are socketed in bone (your maxilla for the upper teeth, and your mandible for your lower teeth). As mentioned, surrounding each tooth is a Periodontal Ligament (PDL) which attaches it to the surrounding bone.
The PDL as a sort of messenger between the teeth and surrounding bony sockets. Pressure between the PDL and bone causes the bone to create osteoclasts and breakdown the bone to restore the normal spacing between the teeth and bone. The corresponding tension on the PDL behind the movement causes the bone to create osteoblasts, effectively building new bone to fill in the difference and restore the normal spacing between teeth and bone. Not a whole lot of force is necessary, only "some" force which is not normally present.
Enter the brackets and arch wire - the artificial force needed to create and sustain the pressure.
Arch wires are interesting things in that they tend to want to retain their normal shape. They are also made of materials activated by body heat to increase stiffness. The wire you have presently is what is called a twist wire which is like a small cable. It wants to remain straight. When it is put onto your teeth which as a braces patient are all over the place, and activated by the heat of your mouth which is 20-25 degrees above room temperature, its desire to remain straight provides the forces necessary to get the biomechanical process of bone remodeling to begin and continue.
The solid wires which come later are made of a nickel-titanium alloy and while so flexible that you can tie a knot in it, once activated by body heat becomes quite stiff. The strategic placement of brackets on teeth and tying of those brackets to this wire complete the transmission of forces from the arch wire to the teeth and sustained result in the awesome process of bone remodeling as your teeth are moved to new positions in your mouth.
The osteoclast (breakdown) process takes about 72 hours to get fully going, the osteoblast (rebuild) process about 90 days. Stabilizing the result takes about 10 months (which is why it is important to wear your retainer to avoid a relapse of the original or some intermediate positions).
