What is the Polypill?
Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the Polypill. The Polypill is being developed in response to an important reality surrounding cardiovascular disease. There are three important drugs that can help prevent heart disease (statins, ACE inhibitors, and aspirin). These drugs are not taken for two major reasons. First, the drugs are simply too expensive for much of the world, including countries as developed as Russia. And secondly, in developed nations where the drugs are affordable patients too often fail to comply - after three years 70% of patients do not take the medications as prescribed.

All Types of Alcohol Linked to Breast Cancer Risk
A recent study by Kaiser Permanente Researchers has found that the effects of alcohol on breast cancer are the same, regardless of whether a woman drinks wine, beer, or liquor. The ethyl alcohol found in those drinks and the quantity consumed are the factors that weigh heavily on breast cancer risk. Researchers believe the increased risk from three or more drinks a day is similar to the increased breast cancer risk from smoking a pack of cigarettes a day or more. They claim that "Population studies have consistently linked drinking alcohol to an increased risk of female breast cancer, but until now there has been little data, most of it conflicting, about an independant role played by the choice of beverage type."

Is there a relation between Deodorants and breast cancer?

This recent study identified a specific distribution of aluminum in breast tissue which may be associated with breast cancer.

WEEKLY HEALTH WRAP
Researchers have identified two genes which play a key role in determining whether a person is at risk for breast cancer. Identified as Brca1 and Brca2, individuals with both the ‘breast cancer genes’ are found to be at a greater risk of inheriting breast cancer.
But new research shows there are two other genes, called Notch1 and Jagged1, which are linked to the more aggressive lung cancers. It’s believed patients are less likely to survive the disease when these two genes are found. (Read more about WEEKLY HEALTH WRAP)
