Dr Bob's Medical News Aug 20004

Warning on Salmon - another toxin
Strept Vaccine - hope for the future

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning On Salmon from: Environment Science And Technology
Traces of a fire retardant have been found in both wild and farm raised salmon. The study went on to say that wild fish were less contaminated than farm raised.
The toxicity of the chemicals, called polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE) isn’t fully understood at this time. The presence of the chemicals raises concerns of health officials. It is known that PBDEs can harm the neurological development of young children and babies.
It's unclear exactly how the PBDEs leach out of products, but they've have been turning up in everything from household dust to women's breast milk. The study shows more evidence of this chemicals climbing up the food change.
Dr Bob’s Take: Once again we are seeing more environmental implication on our food supply. Mercury is better known. More study is needed but until then I would limit this fish in young children to maybe no more than once a week or once every other week. And we need to be more aware of our environment.
A Strept Vaccine
Yes, scientists are making progress in developing a vaccine against the infamous streptococcus Group A. This is the same bacteria that give us strept throat and the so called flesh eating disease of which there are about 9,000 cases a year with a high death rate.
The study of the vaccine on just 28 people showed that protection against the strept bacteria did occur. More studies will need to be done to prove not only the effectiveness but also that there are no serious complications.
Dr Bob’s Take: work on a vaccine has been going on for over 50 yrs and this study bodes well. It does because of the millions of strept throats which if not treated can give rise to kidney disease or rheumatic heart disease in a small percentage of children. Thankfully these complications are not common. A vaccine will be very helpful to all of us.

It’s Proven Mom’s Have A Strong Role In Shaping Their Childs Family Roles
Depending on the role of the mother, the son and/or daughter will take on different roles as they mature to adults. For example, college aged
men will expect to do more child care if their moms were employed. On the other hand, if their mom’s were homemakers they would expect their wives to be tending after the home and children.
For daughters the roles were reversed. If their mothers were employed they tended to Spend less time with their children. But, if the mothers were homemakers their daughters tended to stay home more.
This study was based on a survey of college men and women conducted by psychologist Heidi Riggio of Claremont McKenna College. The study size was 351 students.
Dr Bobs Take: Although this study was small additional studies are needed to verify the results. So Moms and Dads don’t change what you are doing based on this study.
Breast Cancer And..
Several studies have recently come out linking diet with increased risk of cancer. The first is that breast cancer is more frequent in obese women who have a low HDL (the good cholesterol). This study was by Norway’s University of Tromso. HDL does not have an active role in the development of breast cancer but may act as a signal to pay more attention to women with low HDL.
In another study co authored by Dr Walter Willett of the Harvard School of Public Health and Instituto Nacionalde Salud Public of Mexico has shown an increase in breast cancer in women on a high carb diet. Women in Mexico were twice more likely to get breast cancer if they were on a high carbohydrate diets than those who ate less starch.
Dr Bob’s Take: it has been known for a long time that obesity carries a higher risk of breast cancer and each of these studies goes on to verify this, only in different ways. With the rise in obesity in this country, I am especially concerned about our children and their increases in obesity, you could surmise that this could mean that breast cancer could be detected at younger ages as time goes on.
