Heavy Drinking Linked with Poor Bone Health
The link between heavy drinking and poor bone health has been known for years, but doctors have only been able to speculate as to why – could it have something to do with how alcohol affects hormones, or the fact that alcoholics tend to also be malnourished, or that people who are frequently drunk tend to fall down and hurt themselves more often? A new study conducted by Loyola University Medical Center has found the real answer, which has more to do with how alcohol affects the bones at a molecular level. According to orthopedic surgeon Dr. Roman Natoli, one of the lead researchers behind the study, one of the reasons behind the link between heavy alcohol use and bone problems is indeed the fact that heavy drinkers are more prone to accidents and injuries, including shootings, falls and car accidents. However, he said that alcohol use slows down the bone healing process as well.

Stroke Risk Reduced for Vitamin B Takers
While some of the expected benefits of taking vitamin B supplements are based on scientific fact, the pills may or may not deliver all of the benefits that an individual may be hoping for. Luckily, a new study presents concrete evidence of one potential advantage of taking vitamin B. People who regularly take vitamin B supplements have a slightly lower risk of stroke than those who don’t, according to the study conducted at Zhengzhou University in China. Scientists examined the results of 14 different previous studies comprising almost 50,000 subjects. They found that vitamin B supplement takers are about 7% less likely to experience a stroke than those who regularly took a placebo instead. Unfortunately, taking vitamin B seemed to have no effect on the severity of a stroke, including the risk that the stroke victim dies.

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.

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.
