Smoking While Pregnant May Not           Lead to Mental Illness in Kids:                   Study

There are plenty of good reasons for pregnant women not to smoke. Exposing a developing fetus to nicotine and the other carcinogens in cigarettes is linked to a higher risk of birth defects and miscarriage, as well as premature birth and low birth weight.

A more controversial link has been suggested between smoking and schizophrenia and bipolar disorder later in the child’s life. But a new report published in JAMA Psychiatry of nearly 1.7 million people born in Sweden in the 1980s and 1990s shows maternal smoking does not seem to increase the risk of severe mental illness in children later in life.

Researchers came to that conclusion after looking at health data from babies born to mothers who smoked and those born to mothers who did not, and compared their rates of conditions such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. At first, they found that children born to women who smoked during pregnancy had a 25% to 51% higher rate of developing severe mental illness compared to women who didn’t smoke. But when they controlled for other factors that could explain the mental illness, that connection wasn't as strong.

A New Study Details the Effects of Smoking in Pregnancy To account for those factors, the research team compared rates of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder among siblings whose mother reported smoking during some pregnancies but not during others. This was a way to control for a number of genetic and environmental factors that the siblings shared in common. That analysis did not show a significant difference in the rate of mental illness among the siblings, which strongly suggests that exposure to smoking in utero was not driving mental illness.

“We found that the association is likely explained by other factors, rather than anything specific to exposure to smoking during pregnancy," says study author Patrick Quinn, a postdoctoral fellow in the department of psychological and brain sciences at Indiana University. He speculates that the siblings' shared genetic background was at least partly responsible.

In fact, this study corroborates previous findings that babies exposed to smoking in utero were more likely to be premature or to be born with low birth weight, both of which can increase the risk for other health-related issues later in life.

The results also highlight the fact that there may be other factors that increase the risk of severe mental illnesses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder that need to be identified and studied further.

What's in a jar of Nutella? A viral image shows the hazelnut spread is mostly sugar.

Nutella, the chocolate, and hazelnut spread adored by many, lathered on toast and eaten by the spoonful, contains a literal mountain of sugar. 

Just how much? A viral image posted to Reddit on Sunday can give you a taste for just how much of the sweet stuff is in each jar. (The image previously appeared with ingredients listed in German when it was used in an article that published Saturday on Die Welt, a German news site. The original image was created by Verbraucherzentrale Hamburg — the consumer center of Hamburg, Germany.)  

How much sugar is in a jar of Nutella?

Based on the Nutella nutrition label that states each two-tablespoon serving has 21 grams of sugar, there are approximately 210 grams of sugar in a 13-ounce jar of Nutella. That's more than quadruple the sugar in a 16-ounce bottle of Coca-Cola.

"By weight, Nutella is 55% sugar,"  — Caroline Passarrello, registered dietitian.

Twenty-one grams of sugar "is equivalent to five teaspoons," Alissa Rumsey, registered dietician, said in an email. "Considering that the American Heart Association recommends women have no more than six teaspoons of added sugar per day, and men no more than nine teaspoons, five spoons is a significant amount," she noted. 

"By weight, Nutella is 55% sugar," Caroline Passarrello, registered dietitian, and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics said in an email. Her reasoning: One serving weighs 36 grams, and 20 of those grams come from sugar.

While consumers probably know a snack so sweet contains a fair amount of sugar, the visual breakdown can still be quite shocking. 

Sugar is the number one ingredient on the nutrition label. According to FDA guidelines on labeling, this means it has more sugar than any other ingredient.

So indeed, you are jacking your kids full of sugar when serving them toast with a hefty schmear of Nutella for breakfast each morning. Back in 2012, Nutella had to settle a $3 million class action lawsuit because an American mom claimed the company's advertisements featuring families eating Nutella for breakfast had misled her to think that it was, in fact, good for her kids, CBS reported. 

"[Nutella] should be treated as a dessert, something to be enjoyed on occasion as a treat," Rumsey said, explaining that foods high in sugar cause blood sugar levels to spike and then crash. "I don't recommend starting the day off with something that will cause your energy levels (and appetite) to fluctuate through the day." 

However, Passerrello said the spread could be part of a balanced breakfast if used in moderation. If spreading Nutella on whole-grain toast or stirring it into oatmeal is healthier than what you usually eat in the mornings, it could be a better choice, she noted. 

Yet even the USDA is wising up to the fact that Nutella shouldn't be touted as a wholly good breakfast option. In November 2016, Nutella requested that the government classify the spread in the same category as honey and jams, items that are allowed by law to list the serving size as one tablespoon, Quartz reported. (If classified as a dessert, Nutella has to list the serving size as two tablespoons, which will make each serving size contain more sugar, rendering the product less appealing to sugar-conscious consumers.)

How Commercials mislead - You will not hear the word SUGAR at all:)

Nutella has been experiencing some not-so-sweet times as of late. A report from the European Food Safety Authority raised concerns that palm oil, the main ingredient in Nutella, potentially caused cancer. However, the EFSA did not advise people to quit consuming palm oil altogether, so it seems Nutella lovers are in the clear for the time being.

But when it comes to sugar, research clearly shows that the sweet stuff is bad for our health. Many nutrition experts say too much sugar is a direct cause of obesity and heart disease, the New York Times reported. Sadly, too much of a good thing can really be a very bad thing.

Dentists Are Warning Us ­ Don’t Throw Away Baby Teeth, They Can Save Your Child’s Life 

If a child loses its baby tooth, then this is a great achievement. Not many people know that this tooth can save a life. Parents are aware of the fact that they can bank the cord blood from their children because it contains the beneficial stem cells.

However, parents who don’t do the banking can take some of the stem cells in a less painful way not very familiar. Read the article below and be informed of this recent discovery of high importance!

The leading expert Dr. Songrao Shi conducted a study in which he discovered that baby teeth include one or two dozen stem cells, which can be used later for various kinds of diseases. Over an extended period of time, many researchers study the effect of the stem cells and where they can be utilized.

The discovery showed that it can be used in heart, brain, pancreas or many other organs in our body. Dr. Shi and other experts revealed that only one type of stem cell lives in the adult teeth.

There was a new discovery in which these experts found that the stem cells from the baby teeth from children at the age of 7 or 8 are quite different than the one in the adult teeth. The main question to ask is how the process works?

The answer is very simple – you can find the stem cells inside the dental pulp placed in the tooth that recreates into the neurons, cartilage and bone and even the cardiac cells. This process has been proven to be very effective when it comes to treating Type 1 diabetes since the dental pulp stem cells which are placed into the pancreatic-type cells so that a production of insulin was made.

Note: You must take into consideration that the process of preserving stem cells can be quite delicate because the cells must be alive to be useful later. Special care is needed to the dental pulp because it should be in an adequate blood supply for 48 hours before it is frozen because any less time can kill the cells.

As claimed by Dr. Peter Murray, teeth and the tissue in the mouth can be created from stem cells found in third molars, tooth buds, baby teeth, induced pluripotent cells and periodontal tissues.

Another useful information is that there are services available for storing baby tooth for a fee and they recommend dentists professionally to remove baby teeth which are not dangling, since if this happens, then they do not have much blood supply.

Other services provide the parents with packages and shipping supplies that are necessary for storing the baby’s teeth by themselves. In most of the cases, there is a storage container together with a preservation solution required for storing the cells in home conditions.

Watch the video below! You will see the dentist explaining why saving the children’s teeth is useful. Make sure you share this article and spread the word with all your friends and close relatives.

Best Time To Drink Milk: Morning Or Night

Milk drinking is a routine many of us get used to from childhood, and many carry well into adulthood. But have we been drinking milk all wrong? Milk may be better saved for an end of day drink to help you wind down and crank up the sleep-inducing serotonin and melatonin levels in your body.

Milk is a calcium-rich drink that’s loaded with nutrients like protein, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, Vitamin B2, and Vitamin B12, as well as Vitamin D if it is fortified milk.1 This makes it an excellent addition to your diet. But is there a good time or a bad time to drink milk? As it turns out, there may well be. Here’s how to make the most of that cup of milk by drinking to give your body what it needs when it needs it.

Is It the Best Way To Start Your Day?

Starting your day off with a bowl of cereal with milk poured over, or chugging down a milk based drink might seem like a quick and nutritious start to your day, but it can get a little dull if you’re not careful. Using whole fat milk can make the first meal of the day heavier than you want it to be. And it may not keep you as full as a breakfast that has a little more fiber in it (like oatmeal) to bulk it up or a richer protein source like eggs which keep you satiated longer.

In fact, Ayurveda suggests avoiding an overload of your digestive system in the morning. The body needs fuel that will help fire it up for the day. Heavy milk can bring on stomach aches or heartburn as well, due to the load on your digestive system. This is a time of day to have warm poached fruit or cooked vegetables. Also, incorporate a little milk into an oatmeal porridge (or have a nut milk instead!) to help ease your body into the day ahead and tank up on foods that release energy slowly (low glycemic foods like whole grains and fruit and vegetables can do this for you).

Why Nighttime Milk Drinking Is a Good Idea

Milk is the best drink at night when your body needs to wind down and switch from being active to calmer and more relaxed. Tryptophan is an amino acid that milk contains which helps improve the quality of sleep you get, as well as how long you sleep. It helps the body with creating serotonin and melatonin, two neurotransmitters that assist the body to manage its sleeping and waking cycle. You could have your cup of warm milk about half an hour before you turn in for the night.

The magnesium in milk is another reason to consider switching milk-drinking to the evening or night. Milk magnesium. The nutrient plays a key role in a whopping 300 biochemical reactions in the body6, including those that help you maintain healthy nerve and muscle function. And it’s these latter two that are critical in the context of sleep and nighttime rest. By keeping the body plied with this nutrient you might be able to stave off restless leg syndrome and muscular cramping caused by magnesium deficiency, to get a proper night’s rest.

The calcium in milk also helps boost serotonin levels in the body, while the melatonin helps fight off insomnia in those struggling with this sleep disorder due to stress or other reasons.

Make it part of your bedtime routine, and you’ll help your body create a nice turndown process every day. And such routine is perfect for your body to establish a good rhythm, and maintain a balance of energies central to Ayurvedic philosophy. With this balance of energies or doshas you should help overall health and vitality as well.

As the body rests at night, it also recovers and heals from the day’s wear and tear. If you mix some turmeric into your milk, you can amp up the power of the drink due to the anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and healing powers of the spice. So you’ll be able to go to sleep knowing the drink has helped ease inflammation, pain, and swelling, making it possible for someone with inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or chronic pain, to be able to relax a little and get some rest. Even if the shear stress and pressures of the day have taken their toll on your body leaving you with a searing headache, you could find a cup of warm turmeric milk soothes your body, reducing swelling and inflammation.

Or Not At All?

For some people, drinking milk is never a good idea, regardless of what time of day it is. Specifically, those with lactose intolerance or a dairy allergy. So how can you tell if you have these problems?

If you are lactose intolerant, you will notice digestive issues crop up soon after you have a cup of milk or any dairy product. Symptoms include gas or flatulence, diarrhea, and bloating. You may also experience abdominal pain and nausea. If that’s the case, you may need to look at alternative lactose-free milk options like nut milk or rice or soy milk to get your daily fix. For those with a dairy allergy that isn’t very severe, symptoms may include hives or a rash, stomach upset or vomiting after consumption. In some cases, bloody stools may also be present. The more severe form of this allergy, however, is hard to miss, and like other serious allergies can result in Anaphylaxis, where breathing is significantly impaired, and your body goes into a state of shock.

Cancerous Cell Phones: Where You Put Your Phone Matters

Do you keep your cell phone close to you so you can answer your calls or text back? If yes, make sure you read this article.

Young people prefer having their cell phones next to their pillow during the night. Scientists believe that the constant need to be connected to the “world” kills people slowly.

Are cell phones safe?

Keeping cell phones close to the body is bad and health-threatening, and this fact has never been a secret. Environmental Health Trust has the story of a woman explaining how she possibly has developed cancer.

The young woman had no risk factors for developing cancer and Robert Nagourney and John West, both cancer specialists, were wondering what could have caused her multi-focal breast cancer. After she admitted to keeping her cell phone into the bra regularly, the doctors could finally connect the dots.

The pattern of her cancer and the way cancer cells were distributed resembled the shape of her cell phone.

There is still no scientific prove that cell phones cause most cancers, but the number of evidence suggesting this possibility keeps increasing.

The life-threatening risk of wearing a cell phone

Experts explain that cell phones broadcast radio-frequency electromagnetic fields, and the World Health Organization and the International Agency for Research on Cancer say that this is “possibly carcinogenic to humans.”

Keep your phone not closer than 6 inches. Anywhere within this is dangerous. When cell phones are on they, emit radiation.

Safe distances aids in preventing cancer, because the entire body is at a high risk when you keep your phone close, and of course, some parts of the body are more sensitive to radiation when compared to others.

Put down your cell phone

A 2009 study suggests that men who keep their phone on the belt experience lower bone density in the very same side of their pelvis they keep their mobile phone.

In the same year, Dr. Siegal Sadetzki conducted a study suggesting that cell phones increase the risk of developing parotid tumors. His research confirms that there is a much higher risk of developing cancer in the side of your head where you hold your cell phone.

If you have used a cell phone for five years, your chances of developing parotid cancer increase by 34%, and if you have had 5,500 calls, your chances are 58%. If you have used your phone more than 266.3 hours, your risk increases by 49%.

Higher risk in children

According to Professor Lennart Hardell, people who have regularly used a cell phone as teenagers have a 4-5 time higher risk of developing brain cancer.

This happens because the skull in children and teens is not fully developed, and radiation travels to the brain easily, which is not the case in adults.

So, by not allowing your child to have a cell phone, you are doing it a favor. We know that this will be a pretty hard thing to do, but at least ask them to keep it away from their head as much as it is possible. Always use headsets and switch it off through the night if possible, even your computers if any in your bedrooms!
