Arsenic Detected in Some Organic Foods
In most cases, choosing the organic versions of the foods you purchase is a great way to lower your exposure to a variety of harmful chemicals, pesticides, antibiotics, and in some cases, steroids and growth hormones.
Unfortunately, a recently published study has proven that this doesn’t always hold true. The study detected high levels of arsenic in a number of organic food products, including energy shots, cereal bars and, most alarmingly, arsenic in organic baby food. It’s currently believed that consuming arsenic can increase your risk of cancer.
In particular, the study found that organic brown rice syrup, commonly used in organic foods as a replacement for high fructose corn syrup, was to blame.
The most tainted products examined in the study were found to have arsenic concentrations in excess of 12 times the safe drinking water limit as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Frequent Flu Infections Boost Brain Disease Risk
If you’re the type of individual that tends to skip getting your flu shot each year, and you consistently get the flu once or twice a year, newly published flu research may cause you to reconsider your decision. The reason being, while the symptoms associated with the flu may seem like they come and go with the timeframe that you feel sick, new research data may be pointing to the fact that this may not necessarily be true.
According to recent clinical analysis work conducted by Harvard Medical School neurology professor Dr. Ole Isacson, viral infections such as the flu may have long-term detrimental effects on the brain. Based on the results of the study, these detrimental effects on the brain could go unnoticed until much later in life, when, over years of accumulation, lead to a variety of brain diseases including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s.

Don’t Bother with Antibiotics for Sinus Infections, Study Says
When many individuals become sick, they visit their doctors in hopes of receiving a prescription antibiotic. Unfortunately, antibiotics are only designed to treat bacterial infections, leaving those with a virus (such as the common cold) to battle against the sickness on their own.
Researchers at St. Louis, Missouri’s Washington University School of Medicine recently discovered another shortcoming of antibiotics. According to their study, antibiotics for sinus infections are ineffective.
The irony is that, as of now, approximately 20% of all antibiotics prescriptions are written with the intent of accomplishing exactly that, representing a potentially enormous waste of health care dollars.
Most Kids Fall Short of Sleep Recommendations, Study Shows
We all know, as adults, that it is easy to get caught up in the daily grind of life’s trials and tribulations. In many cases, this type of lifestyle leads to erratic eating habits, inconsistent physical activity, and irregular sleeping patterns. In addition, parents that find themselves in this scenario often find that it can affect their children’s lifestyles as well.
If you frequently worry about sleep recommendations for children, you are not alone. A recent study proves that, first, parents have been worrying about this problem for approximately the last century, and second, their fears are based in reality. In fact, the study showed that the average child falls short of getting enough sleep each night by 37 minutes. Lisa Anne Matricciani, the lead author behind the University of South Australia study, described the findings as “surprising.”

Sweets are OK for Breakfast, Study Suggests
If you are currently following a weight loss program that is considered to be safe, effective, and promote real results, you would probably consider that eating a slice of pie, cake, or some other type of dessert for breakfast would be one of the worst mistakes you could possibly make. However, and to the surprise of many nutritionists and weight loss experts, a recently published study is suggesting exactly the opposite.
The study, conducted by Israel’s Tel Aviv University, indicates that overweight and obese individuals may be able to adhere more closely to their weight loss diets and sustain their weight loss results for a longer period of time if they consume a breakfast with plenty of carbohydrates, protein and a dessert instead of a dietary regime that focuses on low calories, low carbohydrates, and no type of dessert.
