Lycopene Benefits: Tomatoes May Reduce Stroke Risk
Men looking to reduce their risk of stroke would be wise to consume plenty of lycopene, an antioxidant found in tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables, according to a new study by the University of Eastern Finland. Men in the study with the lowest concentrations of lycopene in their bloodstreams were 55% more likely to have a stroke than men with the highest concentrations. According to Jouni Karppi, one of the lead researchers behind the lycopene benefits study, the findings add credence to the notion that people should eat at least five servings of vegetables and fruits per day. Karppi believes that the prevalence of strokes around the world would decrease if more people followed this guideline. Lycopene is also suggested by some to help reduce the risk of asthma and cancer, but scientists at the Mayo Clinic state that more research must be done to support these claims.

Over 200 Products Now Included in 2012 Peanut Butter Recall
A 2012 peanut butter recall that initially only included certain products sold at Trader Joe’s has now expanded to include roughly 240 products, according to a new announcement made by U.S. health officials. The peanut butter products are subject to recall because they may be contaminated with Salmonella, according to officials. All of the recalled products include peanut butter made by New Mexico manufacturing company Sunland Inc. An announcement from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) indicates that samples taken from the company’s manufacturing facilities have tested positive for Salmonella bacteria. Roughly 100 Sunland products were recalled toward the end of September as a result of Salmonella bacteria contamination. The expansion of the recall means that 240 products are now being pulled from store shelves and, hopefully, from home pantry shelves as well.

Inventors Design New Child Proof Bottle for Sprayed Products
Inventors have developed a new spray bottle that could prevent up to 6,000 injuries to children each year. These injuries occur when children gain access to spray bottles containing household cleaners and other chemicals, and accidentally spray the contents onto themselves. Parents would still ultimately be responsible for preventing their children from accessing chemical spray bottles to completely minimize the chance of harm, though the new child proof bottles would go a long way toward preventing accidents. In a move that will have you thinking “why didn’t I come up with that,” the inventors have taken the conventional spray bottle design — which features a forward-facing trigger located under the spray nozzle — and added a second trigger that protrudes from the rear side of the bottle. Both triggers must be depressed simultaneously for the spray bottle to dispense its contents.

Anxiety and Sleep Drugs May Increase Dementia Risk
Taking drugs categorized as benzodiazepines when you’re at least 65 years of age may drastically increase your dementia risk, according to a new study by French researchers. These drugs include Xanax, Valium and other similar prescription medications designed as sleeping aids or anxiety reducers. In the study, those who took such drugs increased their likelihood of developing dementia by 50% in comparison to those who did not over the same 15-year time span. Concrete causes of dementia are still up for debate. In general, the Alzheimer’s Association recommends protecting yourself from potential head trauma in order to avoid dementia. They also suggest trying to avoid blood-related conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes. So far, studies have not confirmed the once-believed myth that aluminum causes dementia.

Home Remedies for Dandruff: What Works, What Doesn’t
If you’ve spent any time using the Internet to research home remedies for dandruff recently, you’ve probably noticed advertisements for dandruff “miracle cures” you can apply at home using common household ingredients. In many cases, the suggestion is to apply baby oil, vegetable oil, olive oil or some other type of oil to your scalp to rid yourself of dandruff. The same treatments are purported to work on infants who have cradle cap, the name given to severe dandruff in babies. Unfortunately, researchers say that using vegetable or olive oil may actually increase the severity of dandruff rather than reverse it. Some less common home remedies for dandruff that can be found on the internet include aspirin, baking soda, apple cider vinegar, mouthwash, salt and garlic. The jury is still out on most of these “cures” as well, however.
