Is the Label on Your Vitamin D Supplement Accurate?
Vitamin D can be taken for many reasons, including the treatment of osteoporosis and osteogenesis imperfecta, which is a condition where the bones are brittle and susceptible to breakage. However, people with these conditions might not be getting the treatment they need if they’re taking over-the-counter supplements. A new study conducted at Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research indicates that vitamin D supplement labels may be woefully misleading. Specifically, you may be receiving far more or far less vitamin D in each pill or tablet than the label would lead you to believe. Pills tested in the study contained as little as 9% and as much as 146% of the vitamin D indicated on the labeling. These inaccuracies and inconsistencies could pose serious danger to individuals who are taking supplements to rectify low vitamin D levels, according to lead researcher Dr. Erin LeBlanc.

Obesity Leads to Vitamin D Deficiency
Obesity can lead to a vitamin D deficiency, according to a new study by epidemiologists from Europe and North America. Vitamin D assists the body with calcium absorption, and is therefore crucial to maintaining healthy bones. Unfortunately, the study did not find that increasing vitamin D intake can curb obesity.

Theraflu Recall 2012 Important Announcement
The Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced a voluntary recall of roughly 2.3 million units of Theraflu Warming Relief Syrups and Triaminic Syrups. The manufacturer of these syrups, Parsippany, New Jersey’s Novartis Consumer Health, Inc., is fully cooperating with the voluntary recall, which mainly involves the child-proof caps. Over two million bottles of Triaminic and Theraflu have been recalled because of the caps, which allow for easy removal by a child even when the tamper-evident seal is in its unaltered condition. This renders the cap a choking hazard, and, more importantly, allows the child access to the medication. The syrup includes diphenhydramine and acetaminophen, both of which are required to be sealed within child-proof packaging, according to the Poison Prevention Packaging Act.

Obesity Increases MS Risk, According to Kaiser Permanente
Teenage girls who are classified as very obese – defined as having a body mass index in excess of 35 – may also have a heightened risk of developing multiple sclerosis, or MS, according to a new study by Kaiser Permanente Southern California Department of Research and Evaluation. In fact, the girls involved in the study were four times more at risk for MS over the course of the study period than girls with a normal BMI. Interestingly, the association between BMI and MS was only detected in girls, not in boys. It should be remembered that MS is not the only risk of childhood obesity. Children that are severely overweight during childhood have a much higher risk for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, prediabetes and sleep apnea. Of course, there is also the unfortunate possibility of stigmatization and low self-esteem.

Yoga for Sleep Disorders, Depression Improvements
Depending on the type of yoga performed, it’s often thought to lower the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure and heart disease. It can also lead to a more flexible body that’s less likely to sustain injury. A new report by researchers at Duke University indicates that engaging in yoga may also help to alleviate certain psychiatric disorders. In order to create their report, researchers looked at 16 existing peer-reviewed studies that sought to identify how performing yoga can influence mental illness. Based on their analysis of these studies’ findings, the researchers determined that yoga can improve depression and sleep problems in individuals even in the absence of medication. Further, they found that yoga can alleviate ADHD and schizophrenia in people who are taking medication to treat these disorders.
