It would be best for people to completely avoid canned foods, says Dr. Schwartz, noting that when people ate fresh, locally grown foods, there was no question of chemicals seeping into the foods through processing.
Although completely avoiding canned foods may be difficult, understanding the dangers of BPA may help people reduce their use. "Knowing that there is a chemical in canned foods that may be dangerous to your health may make people moderate the amount of canned foods they use."

Curcumin is a compound in turmeric spice may help prevent diabetes in people at high risk,
Supplements containing a compound in curry spice may help prevent
diabetes in people at high risk, a small clinical trial suggests.
Researchers found that over nine months, a
daily dose of curcumin seemed to prevent new cases of diabetes among
people with so-called prediabetes - abnormally high blood sugar levels
that may progress to full-blown type 2 diabetes, which is linked to
obesity.
Curcumin is a compound in turmeric spice,
and lab research has suggested it can fight inflammation and so-called
oxidative damage to body cells. Those two processes are thought to feed a
range of diseases, including type 2 diabetes.

A slew of new studies suggest coffee – once derided as a harmful
stimulant – may improve your health by lowering the risk of diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and even some cancers.
Coffee contains healthful antioxidants and beneficial polyphenols including chlorogenic acids, which have been shown to prevent disease. Coffee also contains minerals such as magnesium and chromium that help the body use insulin, which controls blood sugar.

Eye Injection Offers Hope for Blind
U.S. scientists have been able to help blind mice see again by injecting a chemical that makes them sensitive to light, according to a study released on Wednesday.
The findings in the journal Neuron offer
hope of a treatment that could one day help people who suffer from the
most common forms of blindness, such as macular degeneration and
retinitis pigmentosa.
The chemical is called AAQ and works by
making cells in the retina sensitive to light, said lead researcher
Richard Kramer, University of California Berkeley professor of molecular
and cell biology.

Physical inactivity causes 1 in 10 deaths worldwide, study says
If physical inactivity rates were to go down by even 10% to 20%
worldwide, they say, it could save between a half-million and 1.3
million lives each year. This could also raise global life expectancy by
almost a year.
Specifically, Harvard researchers say, inactivity caused an increase in deaths from coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, breast and colon cancers and caused more than 5.3 million deaths in 2008 worldwide.

Tea and Gold to Treat Prostate Cancer?
“In our study, we found that a special compound in tea was attracted to
tumor cells in the prostate,” said Kattesh Katti, curators’ professor of
radiology and physics in the School of Medicine and the College of Arts
and Science. “When we combined the tea compound with radioactive gold
nanoparticles, the tea compound helped ‘deliver’ the nanoparticles to
the site of the tumors and the nanoparticles destroyed the tumor cells
very efficiently.”

States of 75 milligrams for women and 90 for men.

A pill that acts as a glucose lowering agent
“What happens in many diabetic patients is this production of glucose by the liver increases,” Kay said. “One of the strategies for treating diabetes is to identify glucose lowering agents. They activate cryptochrome, and when it’s active, it acts like the breaks on gluconeogenesis – wants to shut down glucose position. For us, we think we’re at the early stages of a completely new treatment for diabetes.”

Overworked Eyes: Will Your Computer Make You Go Blind?
The human visual system is complex and amazingly adaptive. It can change focus to see objects both near and far. It can change to see in bright conditions or dark conditions. With the help of 140 million neurons in the visual cortex it can identify, classify, analyze and react to approximately 12 to 15 one-million-point images per second. Yet, despite this complexity, human eyes just don't handle extended computer screen viewing all that well. "Your eyes are happiest when used for a variety of tasks utilizing a variety of focal distances with a variety of properly aligned light sources," states Jeffrey Anshel, O.D., author of Visual Ergonomics in the Workplace. "Computer use provides none of the above."

Cranberry Prevents Urinary Infections
People who regularly drink cranberry juice or
take cranberry capsules are less likely to get urinary tract
infections, a new review of past evidence suggests. Researchers found
cranberry products seemed especially helpful for women who had trouble
with recurrent UTIs.
Although cranberry juice and capsules are
popular antidotes to the common bacterial infections, researchers
haven't always been sure whether or how they might work. Recent evidence
suggests certain compounds in cranberries — and maybe other berries as
well — might prevent bacteria from attaching to tissue in the urinary
tract, thereby warding off infections.

Opossum Protein Seen as Antidote to Poisons
A protein found in the American opossum may someday provide an antidote to nearly all forms of poison.
The Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins has found that opossums produce a protein known as Lethal Toxin-Neutralizing Factor (LTNF), Yahoo News reports. The protein seeks out otherwise lethal poisons that have entered an opossum's body and neutralizes them.

Eighty-three percent of American physicians have considered leaving
their practices over President Barack Obama’s health care reform law,
according to a survey released by the Doctor Patient Medical
Association.
The DPMA, a non-partisan association of doctors and patients, surveyed a random selection of 699 doctors nationwide. The survey found that the majority have thought about bailing out of their careers over the legislation, which was upheld last month by the Supreme Court.

Can You Beat Cancer With Aspirin?
Can you beat cancer with a penny aspirin tablet? New studies confirm
that the 100-year-old "miracle drug" is a powerful weapon against
numerous forms of the disease, both reducing the risk of cancer and
preventing tumors from spreading. But many experts have advised against
the daily use of aspirin for preventive purposes, saying the risks of
gastrointestinal bleeding and hemorrhagic strokes outweighed the
benefits. New studies as well as advancing technology may change their
recommendations.
