Regular Soda Consumption Boosts Stroke Risk
A couple of months ago, we reported that drinking diet soda on a daily basis may increase the probability of suffering from a heart attack or stroke by as much as 43%. Now, a newly released clinical study is indicating that drinking regular soda on a daily basis may influence stroke risk as well.
In fact, adults that participated in the study who drank at least one regular soda each day increased their risk of having a stroke over a 20-year to 30-year period by 16%.
The medical researchers that performed the study to determine if there was a correlation between soda consumption and stroke risk concluded that regularly substituting non-sugar-sweetened beverages was statistically successful at reducing the probability of suffering from a stroke.

Fast Food Sodium Levels Vary by Country
If you’re on a low-sodium diet or if you simply like to monitor your salt intake, you’ll be interested to know that sodium content in fast food products depends largely on where you buy it. No, this isn’t a question of McDonald’s vs. Burger King, but rather one of North America vs. Europe, according to a new study by researchers at Alberta, Canada’s University of Calgary.
The differences are drastic, with the researchers stating that a Chicken McNugget sold in the United States contains about 2.5 times as much sodium as a McNugget sold in the United Kindom, for example.
The trend was similar when comparing other Canadian and American fast food restaurants to their counterparts in France and the United Kingdom.

Excess Body Weight Increases Pregnancy Complication Risk
There have been countless clinical studies that have touted the health risks associated with obesity. From an elevated probability of contracting some form of heart disease, a variety of cancer types, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure, to name a few.
Additionally, while many women are familiar with the fact that obesity increases the risk of experiencing complications during pregnancy, what about the pregnancy risks for women who only carry a modest amount of excess body weight?
According to a new study, women who are overweight but not necessarily obese are more likely to increase their pregnancy complication risks during pregnancy when compared to women of a normal body weight, especially if their blood sugar levels are moderately elevated as well.

Study: Weight Loss Programs are Best Bet for Obese Patients
If you continually struggle with trying to lose excess body weight, or are technically considered to be obese, becoming a member of a healthy weight loss program may be the most safe and effective way of losing weight, according to a newly published study. In the study, obese subjects who reported losing 10% or more of their excess body weight over the course of the previous year were more likely to have done so through a weight loss program than those who lost a lesser amount of weight.
Also reported within the same study, subjects who accomplished losing 5% or more of their total body weight were more likely to have done so through other means, such as using prescription weight loss supplements, exercising more often or consuming less fat and calories. Of course, any of these elements could be incorporated into a healthy weight loss program as well.

Some Herbal Remedies Boost Urinary Tract Cancer Risk
Taiwan has the highest prevalence of upper urinary tract type cancers of any country in the world, and a newly published study may reveal why. According to the study, over half of these cancers are triggered by aristolochic acid, a known carcinogen found in Aristolochia plants and used in a variety of several different types of Chinese herbal remedies.
Just how common is upper urinary tract cancer in Taiwan? While approximately 1 out of every 100,000 people are diagnosed with the disease each year in the United States, about four times as many are diagnosed each year in Taiwan.
Urinary tract cancer affects the bladder, kidneys, or ureters, which move fluid from the kidneys to the bladder, or the urethra, which expels urine from the bladder to the outside of the body.
