...researchers provide the first data that may explain the association. Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the findings suggest that depression contributes to heart disease indirectly - by fostering unhealthy behaviors like smoking - rather than directly. Certain biological factors linked with depression, such as inflammation and the levels of brain chemicals like serotonin, may play some role in heart health, researchers say, but the new study found that the factors that most increased heart disease risk in depressed people were the ones you might expect: lack of exercise and smoking...
...sorts of biological markers that could potentially play a role in linking depression and heart disease," says Dr. Mary Whooley, an internist at the VA Medical Center in San Francisco, and lead author of the new study.

That would explain the fact that in January Podesta's organization plans to publish a 600-page manuscript called Change for America: A Progressive Blueprint For The 44th President that is consciously modeled on a very similar conservative document produced at the dawn of the Reagan era. That 1,000-page book written by the Heritage Foundation in 1981, Mandate For Leadership, became the blueprint for the incoming administration of Ronald Reagan. The book was placed...
