...hackneyed Hollywood thriller, but hundreds of thousands of Americans may have already been victims of identity theft. Last year alone, the Federal Trade Commission logged more than 85,000 complaints from people whose identities had been pirated. That may only be the tip of the iceberg; some consumer advocates suggest as many as 750,000 identities are stolen each year...
...many scientists agree that allyl sulfides and other phytochemicals in garlic may help protect the heart. Studies show that the sulfides can reduce cholesterol and may make the blood less sticky. Scientists are fairly confident that garlic also has antibacterial and antifungal powers. Preliminary reports even suggest that garlic may block the parasites that cause malaria. On perhaps less firm footing is the theory that allyl sulfides can stop tumor growth, a notion so far borne out only in the petri dish...
...Asian societies green tea is consumed in about the same quantities as coffee is in the West. Green tea is loaded with polyphenols, a class of phytochemicals with 100 times the antioxidant punch of vitamin C. Laboratory experiments suggest that one group of polyphenols in green tea called catechins may inhibit the growth of new blood vessels, which some scientists think may help prevent cancer by depriving early tumors of nourishment. (Catechins may also prevent DNA damage caused by carcinogens from occurring in the first place.) Indeed, population studies in China link drinking green tea daily with a lowered risk...
Daily injections of insulin are not simply a pain in the butt. For diabetics, they are taxing and inconvenient reminders of their disease. Studies of inhaled insulins, in the form of oral and powdered sprays, suggest that they may be nearly as effective as injections are in quickly normalizing blood-sugar levels. While no injection-free insulins have yet been approved by the FDA, doctors--and their diabetic patients--are looking forward to the day when those hated needles can be replaced by inhalers...
...start "Did I ever tell you...?" They may be harbingers of something serious like Alzheimer's. Or maybe not. What clinicians call "mild cognitive impairment" can be caused by trauma, depression or the side effects of medication. While not all cases of MCI lead inexorably to dementia, new studies suggest that a substantial number do. There are no drugs to prevent Alzheimer's, but there are treatments for MCI that can slow deterioration and preserve mental function a little longer...
