High-Red-Meat Diet Raises Mortality Risk
Americans who consume large amounts of red and processed meats face a greater likelihood of death by cancer or heart disease, a recent study found.
The research was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, and is the largest study of its kind, with over a half-million subjects. ( Read more about High-Red-Meat Diet Raises Mortality Risk)

Blog Post: Stuart Diamond, Editor-in-Chief - May 29, 2009
Here is another story on the dangers associated with eating red meat. The research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine said that for men who eat only the equivalent of a ¼ hamburger a day had a 22 percent higher chance of dying of cancer and a 27 percent greater chance of dying of heart disease. The women who ate the most red meat were 20 percent more likely to die of cancer and 50 per cent more likely from heart disease.
Finally, we have to admit that statistics are compelling. For the vast majority of us who grew up eating red-meat, carnal abstinence can be challenging. Over the years I think I have been reasonably successful a switching off the red meat -- with the occasional glorious fall from grace. (Those infamous BBQ spareribs at Saigon Grill is definitely one of the last great hurdles to a vegan lifestyle.) But for the most part, I do stay away from red meat.

Expert Commentary: Dr. Tauseef Ahmed, M.D., April 30, 2009
I think a better term for the therapies recently reported in Cancer Research would be targeted small molecules. Nanoparticles are formulations of various chemotherapeutic drugs that improve the delivery of chemotherapy. The most commonly used nanoparticle medication is nanoparticle bound paclitaxel, sold as Abraxane. This allows this particular chemotherapy to be dissolved in water. This could not be achieved without having tiny particles attached to the molecule. ( Read more about Expert Commentary: Dr. Tauseef Ahmed, M.D., April 30, 2009)

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.

Cinco De Mayo and Heartburn
Ole! Manana is Cinco de Mayo! Lots of folks will be heading to bars and restaurants around town to enjoy this Mexican holiday. But will a healthy dose of fun come with a hefty dose of heartburn? A one time episode of heartburn on Cinco de Mayo may not be much to worry about. And there are plenty of Mexican foods you can enjoy and not worry about worsening your symptoms. But if you get heartburn frequently, that is a cause for concern. Christy Searl chooses to enjoy a glass of wine at a Mexican restaurant rather than margaritas. “These margaritas at this place are lethal,” she exclaims.

Weekly Health Wrap
New research out of a major radiology meeting shows that virtual colonoscopy along with computer-aided detection is highly effective for finding colon polyps, which can become cancerous. Virtual colonoscopy is desirable because there is no risk of bleeding or colon perforation and intravenous sedation is unnecessary. The procedure is less costly than conventional colonoscopy and it’s more convenient, taking 15 minutes or less. ( Read more about Weekly Health Wrap)
