Too Many High Schoolers are Binge Drinking, Study Shows
A stunning number of high school seniors, typically aged 17 to 19, engage in binge drinking, according to a recent study conducted by the University of Michigan. The study defined “binge drinking” as consuming at least five alcoholic beverages in a single session of drinking. Perhaps more alarming still, the study found that about 1 in 20 high school seniors drink more than 15 alcoholic beverages in a single occasion. The study was based on data reported by the teens themselves. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, binge drinking comprises around 90 percent of the alcohol use for people under the age of 21 in the U.S. People who binge drink also put themselves at risk for things like alcoholism, liver damage, acute alcohol poisoning, impaired driving and impaired judgment.

Hangover Severity Depends on Age
A new study based in Denmark suggests that the older you get, the less severe your hangovers after a night of drinking alcohol become. The findings run counter to what most people believe about the link between aging and hangovers. Over 50,000 people between the ages of 18 and 94 were surveyed as part of the study, and reported their drinking habits as well as the frequency and severity of their hangover symptoms, including vomiting, racing heartbeat, headache and nausea. Within the context of the new study, binge drinking was classified as drinking at least five alcoholic beverages in a single session. The study data was collected as part of the Danish Health Examination Study. Hangovers are believed to be caused by irritated stomach lining, increased urination causing dehydration, and low blood sugar.

Fad Diet Alert: No, Mushrooms Don’t Cause Magical Weight Loss
Celebrities ranging from Katy Perry to Kelly Osbourne are touting the supposed benefits of the “M Plan,” a new fad diet whose proponents claim causes weight loss in exactly the places where women usually want to see it most – the thighs, hips and waist. Like most fad diets, the eating plan is specific and rather silly: replace one meal per day with just mushrooms, continue this every day for two weeks, and watch the pounds melt away. However, also as with the vast majority of fad diets, health and nutrition experts are skeptical of the claims. Adding to the skepticism, no one company, individual, or health professional seems to be taking credit for the development of the diet. A diet plan not created by a dietician or health expert should always be approached with an air of caution.

Phthalates and BPA Tied to Teen Obesity, Insulin Resistance
A pair of new studies have found a potential link between teen insulin resistance and obesity and phthalates and bisphenol A, two chemicals commonly found in certain types of food packaging. However, the researchers aren’t sure whether the increased prevalence of obesity and insulin resistance is directly due to the presence of these chemicals, or whether other factors are responsible. The researchers plan to conduct additional studies to gain a better understanding of the link. BPA in particular has increasingly become a topic of contention. The chemical is widely used in plastics and can be found in the packaging of many foods and drinks. It is also present in infant bottles, medical devices, canned food and water bottles. While many of these things can be avoided, BPA might also be found in certain water supply pipes.

CDC: Obesity Rates Down for Low-Income Preschoolers
Obesity rates are finally on the decline, at least for children between the ages of 2 and 4, according to a new announcement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, or CDC. The study, which focused specifically on low-income youngsters between the years of 2008 and 2011, found declining obesity numbers in 18 U.S. states as well as the Virgin Islands. Dr. Tom Frieden said that although the decline was admittedly minor at just 1% to 2%, it’s significant because it represents positive progress rather than yet another concession to rising obesity rates.
