30% of Multivitamins Don't Provide What They Say

More than 30 percent of a medicine chest of multivitamins failed to contain what they said they did, or were contaminated with lead, according to a report by the private company ConsumerLab.com
   
Among the 46 multivitamins analyzed, those that failed the test had far more or less of an ingredient than stated on the label.

Vitamin D Deficiency Linked to Teen Cardiovascular Problems

Adolescents with low levels of vitamin D in their blood have a greater frequency of high blood pressure and elevated blood sugar, a recent study revealed, leaving them vulnerable to later heart problems and diabetes.
   
The research supports other work done in adults, which has shown that low vitamin D is associated with risk factors for heart disease. The body gets vitamin D when it’s manufactured in the skin upon exposure to sunlight. All it takes is 15 minutes three or four times a week. Vitamin D also comes from fortified foods, especially milk, and from oily fish, such as salmon.

Low Vitamin D Linked to Cognitive Impairment in Elderly

Elderly people with low levels of vitamin D in their blood have a 130 percent greater risk of developing cognitive impairment than people with high levels, a recent study showed. Cognitive impairment is a transitional phase between normal aging and dementia.

Generic Drugs Getting Cheaper in U.S.

In a welcome boon for recession-racked consumers, the prices of generic pharmaceuticals have been falling in recent months - and are expected to continue their downward spiral for the foreseeable future.

The chief reason for this remarkable development, according to health information company IMS Health, is the pitched pricing competition that started in 2006 between huge retailers and drugstore chains, as well as the wars for market share between the many makers of generic drugs.

High triglycerides in your bloodstream can be just as much a danger signal for the health of your heart as high cholesterol, according to the Harvard Heart Letter.
