Based on this review and other research involving middle-aged or older people screened for pre-existing drug problems, Volkow says, "Under those conditions, you can say that the risk [of addiction] is less than 3% [in people with no history of drug abuse...
...Overdose Problem For the most recent study of overdose risk, researchers examined the medical records of nearly 10,000 chronic-pain patients being treated within a Washington State health plan between 1997 and 2005. Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in January, the study found that 51 patients had experienced overdose - six of them fatal. The overall risk of overdose was small, but it was clearly associated with the dose of the medication originally prescribed: patients receiving the highest doses were nearly nine times more likely to overdose than patients on the lowest doses. "The overall risk among people...
...allergies), but lead, arsenic and DDT can be a more serious matter. About one-third of the arsenic in the atmosphere comes from natural sources - volcanoes principally. The rest comes from mining, smelting, burning fossil fuels and other industrial processes. Even in relatively low concentrations, arsenic is not without risk, especially to small children who play on the floor and routinely transfer things from their hands to their mouths. The same is true for lead, which comes less from wall paint - the source most people would expect - than from auto exhaust, smelting and soil deposits. "Lead loading on floors...

Though this can be overwhelming, it is also somewhat cathartic and gives the feeling of healing through expression. Xiu Xiu’s risk-taking and continued diversity of influence add another layer of interest to a fascinating album. While certainly not easy to listen to, “Dear God” proves that Xiu Xiu are doing their best to turn what seems to be a potentially destabilizing pain to very productive ends...
