“Twenty-one thousand college students are sick,” begins a Fox online news report titled: “H1N1 Picks Up Steam One Week Before Vaccine Becomes Available.” Wow! That’s a lot of sick kids! Tell us more! But there is nothing more on those 21,000. Lots of talk about people swamping emergency rooms and school closings, yet not a single number regarding actual flu cases in a 765-word article. What if it began “Flying saucers land on the White House lawn” and no flying saucers were mentioned again

by Erica Stonesand Around the world weight issues dominate the news so finding a easy weight loss program should be at the top of the agenda before health problems kick in. Being overweight or obese harms lives immensely as it lowers self-esteem, increases health risks and reduces most of a person’s physical abilities. While many easy weight loss programs are effective, we each have one that works well on an individual basis and most of these are easy to research on the Internet. The reason

Eat Fat or Don’t Eat Fat, That is the Question The major determinant of your long term health is the nutritional quality of the calories you eat. It is the quality of the fat you eat, the quality of the protein and the quality of the carbohydrate that influences your health. Ask yourself, is the food I am about to eat a whole, natural plant source of calories? Is it packaged with fiber, antioxidants and phytochemicals? Does it contain not just discovered nutrients, but plenty of undiscovere

Canadians (of all people) have come up with a machine that can detect prostate cancer in 30 minutes: Toronto researchers have developed a portable device they say will accurately diagnose prostate cancer in 30 minutes. The microchip technology, created by a pair of University of Toronto scientists, will be able to determine the severity of the tumours through a simple urine sample and produce quick diagnosis with no need for painful biopsies.

I posted yesterday about the shameful reporting of the tragic death of a girl who died on the same day as getting the cervical cancer vaccine - and how, without any evidence of a link, the papers were giving the impression that the vaccine, which will save hundreds of lives a year, is unsafe.

Dr Tony Jewell, Wales’ chief medical officer, has asked health professionals to quarantine all HPV vaccines from the batch given to Natalie Morton. But he said the vaccination programme, which protects against cervical cancer, will continu

HANOI, – At a ‘tra da’ (iced tea) stand in Hanoi’s Truc Bach area, men in baggy white singlets sit on low plastic stools drinking strong green tea poured from a chipped porcelain tea pot.

It is popular mainly with older men and farmers, not the city’s trendy youth. The stall owner sells bags of rough tobacco for 2,000 Vietnam dong – or
