Bone Loss Linked to Hardening ArteriesWednesday, August 27, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Postmenopausal women have another good reason to do everything they can to help maintain healthy bone density – the failure to do so is now linked to an increase in plaque in the carotid artery Low Cholesterol Increases Cancer and Death RiskTuesday, August 26, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) In a major shot fired across the bow of the statin marketing machine, the levels of LDL cholesterol that are the artificial targets of “health” promoted by the American Heart Association (AHA) are now found to be associated with a significant increased risk of cancer and death. 15% of Population at High Risk for Statin InjuryTuesday, August 26, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The New England Journal of Medicine reports on a detailed analysis of the human genome in those with statin-induced muscle damage. Scientists have uncovered an alteration in a gene that causes statin drugs to be more readily absorbed by the liver, thereby making the drug very toxic. 15% of our population has the risk-related gene variant. A Whole New Meaning of Fatty ArteriesMonday, August 25, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study shows that fat around your arteries is a direct predictor of plaque within your arteries. The Prenatal Programming of DiabetesSunday, August 24, 2008 - (Byron J.

Richards, CCN) A new study clearly associates vitamin D deficiency with an increased risk of hip fracture, dispelling any uncertainty about this link. Fish Oil Cuts Macular Degeneration Risk in HalfSaturday, August 16, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A study in the August issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that eating oily fish at least once per week cuts the risk for developing age-related macular degeneration in half. Bernie Mac – Death by Medicine?Thursday, August 14, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Before the dust settles on the Bernie Mac tragedy it is important for everyone to understand two things: Thursday, August 14, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) It is well established in the scientific literature that subclinical hypothyroid as well as frank hypothyroid are associated with increased levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a). Sluggish Thyroid Increases Blood PressureWednesday, August 13, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) The impact of thyroid function on arterial stiffness and consequent elevation in blood pressure is a new finding helping to explain yet another adverse consequence of poor thyroid function on cardiovascular health. Researchers showed that correcting sluggish thyroid function (subclinical hypothyroid) enabled a return of better blood pressure function. Sluggish Thyroid Disturbs Heart FunctionTuesday, August 12, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Several studies now point out that sluggish thyroid function (subclinical hypothyroid) is associated with early adverse changes in the electrical function of the heart. Running Over Age 50 Cuts Death Rate in HalfTuesday, August 12, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A 20-year study has shown that running has profound health benefits, cutting the rate of early death by more than half.

Sluggish Thyroid in Women Increases Heart DiseaseMonday, August 11, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) Women who have sluggish thyroid function, meaning that they are not hypothyroid by lab test but have many of the symptoms of poorly functioning thyroid and their thyroid scores are close to lower limits of “normal,” have 57% increased risk for developing heart disease. This relationship does not exist after age 65, which is also an interesting point. Thyroid Problems Double Women’s Alzheimer RiskSunday, August 10, 2008 - (Byron J. Richards, CCN) A new study finds that women in the sluggish thyroid category had more than double the risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease.
