Leafy Green Vegetables May Help Keep Brains Sharp

Now that all of you are beginning to learn about 5'methyltetrahydrofolate it is important to realize that the MTHFR mutation, which is found in every Autistic child, means essentially that they can be harmed by taking Folic Acid in supplements, as it is the wrong form for them to handle.

Now, with increasing age, all of us have less efficient methylation putting many of us at risk for responding optimally to only the expensive form of Folic Acid patented by Merck. Unfortunately, they recently increased their price from around $8K per KG to $14K per KG meaning only the wealthy can afford the optimal form of the vitamin for anyone with MTHFR mutations.Read more...

Migraine With Aura Can Double Stroke Risk

(HealthDay News) -- Women who get migraine headaches with aura should stop smoking and using birth control pills because they may increase their risk of stroke, researchers say.

For people who suffer migraine headaches with aura -- visual disturbances before or during the migraine -- the risk for ischemic stroke is doubled, they found. Being female, under 45, smoking and using oral contraceptives that contain estrogen added to the risk.

Ischemic stroke is caused by a blockage in a blood vessel. The connection between migraine and stroke was already suspected. What was unknown was the extent of risk and who is most at risk, the researchers said. Read more...

Where You Live May Affect Your Cancer Diagnosis

(HealthDay News) -- Living in the city could lead to certain common cancers being diagnosed at much later stages of their development, new research has found.

A study of residents of Illinois finds that city dwellers are more likely to have doctors spot breast, colorectal, lung or prostate cancer later in the disease's progression than their peers residing in the suburbs or rural areas. The rates for these late-stage cancers were highest in Chicago, the most densely populated and urban of the areas in the analysis, and tapered off the more rural and sparse an area's population became, according to the findings, which were based on a review of the 1998 to 2002 Illinois State Cancer Registry.

Alcohol, Cigarettes and Diabetes Up Colorectal Cancer Risk

(HealthDay News) -- It's been known for some time that obesity and eating lots of red meat can raise the risk of colorectal cancer, but new research sheds light on other lifestyle factors that increase risk.

Drinking alcohol, smoking cigarettes and having diabetes also play a major role in determining who is going to develop colorectal cancer, study findings show.

And although exercise seemed to help ward off colorectal cancer, eating lots of fruits and vegetables didn't, according to researchers at The George Institute for International Health in Australia.

"Most people probably know that being overweight and having poor dietary habits are risk factors for the disease," said study author Rachel Huxley, an associate professor at The George Institute. "But most are probably unaware that other lifestyle risk factors such as alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking and diabetes are also important culprits," she said in a news release from the institute.
