 okay welcome everyone welcome everyone to health talk my name is James I am your host for health talk this is the live broadcast of health talk and I will start the show with these health related articles from our local newspaper the Bergen record Bergen record is a local newspaper found in northeastern New Jersey where the show is located both myself and the newsletter censored research center the first article for this week's health talk will be heart warming news about dark chocolate by Elizabeth Lopato from the Bloomberg news here's a win-win situation eating unsweetened chocolate may help your heart dark chocolate is rich in flavonoids plant pigments that work as antioxidants when eaten the study found that eating unsweetened chocolate increased artery elasticity a measure of heart health by 2.4 percent the improvement among those eating cocoa with sugar was only 1.5 percent while those on a placebo had a point eight percent decrease in function 39 overweight and obese subjects were told to fast for eight to 12 hours and then eat the cocoa first thing in the morning while the finding suggested a link with good heart health the researchers said larger trials are needed before any clinical recommendations are made quote this is a small sample but it definitely looks promising unquote said lead researcher Valentine Najiki of the Yale Prevention Research Center quote to the best of my recollection no study has ever used sugar-free cocoa where the first unquote well maybe a study of its kind but I know all the research that I've read on the antioxidant power of cocoa powder not chocolate bars not milk chocolate not Hershey's kisses are any of those things pure cocoa powder most of the information I've read was was on dark chocolate or dark cocoa powder which is the the pure 100% bakers cocoa which is what I use to make my hot cocoa I put a couple tablespoons of bakers cocoa and I combine it with either stevia or a wild desert cactus honey powder I'm I'm staying clear of Splenda because Splenda is still a very questionable it's some controversy around Splenda as an artificial sweetener as a safe version of an artificial sweetener okay the next article raising good cholesterol fails to cut heart attacks now I just want you to understand listeners this could very well be false propaganda from the pharmaceutical industry so bear that in mind I will mention that before and or after I read an article studies also find new drugs have safety issues okay by Marilyn Marchione the Associated Press New Orleans the hot new strategy of trying to prevent heart disease by raising good cholesterol had more setbacks Monday as new studies show that experimental drugs didn't work and also had safety problems okay I agree with that all right experimental drugs now we know why it didn't work drugs the news follows Pfizer incorporated a bandit in December of an 800 million dollar investment in Torse Trappid the leading contender in this class of drugs because it raised the risk of heart attacks and deaths heart specialists have been anxious to know whether the problems extend to all such drugs and doom this approach quote a lot of people think it's the next big thing and we'll need to understand what went wrong with forced Trappid to move forward unquote said dr. Steven Nissen a Cleveland Clinic heart specialist and president of the American College of Cardiology the new study reported at the groups conference gave a mixed answer the Pfizer drug seems uniquely risky but other drugs have problems too and even though they and the Pfizer drug raised HDL good cholesterol as intended that made no difference in the odds of heart attacks or deaths or key measures of cholesterol buildup in arteries doctors long have focused on lowering LDL or bad cholesterol to cut heart attack risk statins sold as Lipitor and a Zocor and also in generic form lower LDL which is the bad cholesterol low-density lipoproteins which ferries fats from food into the bloodstream but many statin users suffer heart attacks anyway so doctors have been trying to boost HDL which is the good cholesterol okay high-density lipoproteins which transports fat from the blood to the liver to be disposed of to further lower risk that's why I add to my nutritional regiment a a liver detoxifier put out by a company that produces a traditional Chinese medicinal teas it's a multi herbal formula very important in in in your health is to take a liver and blood detoxification product as well as a colon cleanser a mild gentle colon cleanser that will rid the body of impacted toxins which clings to the wall of your cone okay further on in the article an extended release niacin drug called niacin sold by Kos pharmaceuticals that's KOS incorporated does this but it can cause a prickly hot sensation called flushing that some people find intolerable Pfizer Merck and company and Swiss drug makers Roche holding AG are testing drugs that boost HDL in a novel way well of course they have to come out with a drug form of niacin they can't use natural mega dose niacin all right they have to patent it so they can make a fortune off of it I just want you to understand the mindset of these drug companies okay bottom line greed is their motivation not your best interest in several studies there were hints of some improvements in less important measures of artery buildup which provides quote a glimmer of hope for future development of this class of drugs unquote dr. Allen toll of Columbia University writes in an editorial in the New England Journal of Medicine that the journal and the journal of the American Medical Association published reports based on several of the new studies okay I'll give you one I'll give you two outstanding natural products to lower the bad LDL cholesterol number one an extract of red yeast rice I'm sure you people know what red yeast rice is even though you're wondering what I'm talking about just go to any local Chinese takeout and take a look at the roast pork or the barbecued spare ribs and you'll notice the the red coloring on the outside of the of these meats that is red yeast rice they have it in standardized extract form in capsule outstanding for lowering LDL cholesterol it very similar to the statin drugs actually related to it but a natural variation another is the odor free aged garlic extract capsules those two together with the Atkins type diet the low carbohydrate diet take getting rid of sugar and refined carbohydrates that alone will knock down your LDL cholesterol okay if you need additional help you can take a chromium poly nicotinate anywhere from 200 to like around 800 micrograms a day chromium gtf chromium poly nicotinate or chromium percolonate next article the grape report card some benefits from wine and grape juice by Walter C. Willett MD Harvard health letters okay here's a question from from from someone that's unidentified for the health for the health of my heart in arteries how does regular consumption of red wine compared to grape juice or the equivalent in grapes are you asking a question that science hasn't caught up with especially when it comes to grape juice and grapes let's start by looking at what you get with each of these grapes of all colors are full of antioxidants and myriad other phytonutrients some that have been identified as possible cardio protectors are flavonoids such as resveratrol and quercetin very powerful okay pro anthocyanidins tannins and saponins well those are the three I mean I mean the two the two primary antioxidants is the transversed veratrol and a pro anthocyanidins that's the primary ones but keep in mind that the grapes you find in the grocery store aren't necessarily as hardy as those used for making wine and grape juice and unless you eat the seeds along with the grapes you won't get the nutrients sequestered there wine and grape juice contain substances leached from seeds which are crushed during the the pressing process grapes of grapes offer a small amount of fiber which is good for the heart and digestive system something neither wine nor grape juice deliver it takes about eight to ten ounces of grapes nearly two cups worth to make a glass of wine or grape juice well if you're gonna drink grape juice of course I would drink the very dark purple concord grape juice like like the one put up by welches grape juice not to be confused with grape flavored drinks which are mostly sugar water delivers slightly more antioxidants and other of phytonutrients then it's equivalent in grapes red wine like grape juice is a rich brew of antioxidants and phytonutrients and it contains alcohol something not found in either grapes or grape juice no strong evidence which ones can protect the heart a few small studies have shown that red and purple grape juices reduce the stickiness of platelets a key player in blood clotting grape juice also slightly raises Ldl good the good cholesterol reduces inflammation and improves the ability of blood vessels to relax the quote dose unquote in these studies was two eight ounce glasses of purple grape juice a day so far though there is no evidence that drinking grape juice has an effect on the things we really care about like fewer heart attacks or longer lives University of Connecticut researchers have shown that mice fed the flesh of grapes are just as protected against experimental experimentally induced heart attack damage as mice fed grape skins whether that translates to humans remains to be seen in fact there is reason to believe that the amount of flavonoids in one or two glasses of grape juice is far short of what we we be needed of what would be needed to have important health benefits also don't forget that grapes are high in natural sugars which are fine and small to moderate amounts but consuming large amounts which is easy to do in the form of juice could well increase your weight not to mention your risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease in contrast there is solid evidence that alcohol and moderation offers some protection against heart disease and ischemic which is clot causing stroke and that it probably reduces premature deaths in healthy people as well as those with diabetes high blood pressure and other chronic conditions although red wine initially looked to be special in this regard any alcohol containing beverage red wine white wine beer cordials and spirits such as gin or scotch whiskey offers a similar protection alcohol may do this by raising LDL good cholesterol hindering the formation of artery blocking blood clots easing inflammation on by some other as yet undiscovered route the key is moderate drinking this means no more than two drinks a day for men and one a day for women interesting well I know the skin is where most of the transverse veritrol and corset is contained and the proanthocyanidins are in the skin too but they are also in the seed okay so I'm definitely a big fan of the red grape and the concord okay any any brightly colored or deep colored fruit or vegetable has a has the pigments has a high amount of flavonoids okay before we go to commercial let me read this article eat fish heart patients advised Mediterranean diet found just as effective as low-fat regimen by Marilyn Marchione the Associated Press New Orleans a Mediterranean style diet high in olive oil and other quote healthy unquote fats is just as good as the classic American heart association low fat diet for the 8 million Americans who have suffered a heart attack and want to prevent a repeat new research suggests well I don't know then again there what they're saying is the real cause of heart disease is is the fat in the diet did not mention anything about about sugar about the too much insulin being the key factor here which causes a lesion in the arterial wall which in turn causes the plaque to stick to it okay the the oxidation of LDL cholesterol okay I believe is due to the high amounts of insulin due to a high carbohydrate diet so anyway they still they're still hung up on fat okay people on either diet had one third the risk of suffering another heart attack a stroke death or other heart problem compared with heart patients eating the usual way the study found the results of the study were presented Sunday at an American College of Cardiology conference doctors said it was one of the best tests of specific diets on heart health especially because participants stuck to it and achieved the goals for various fats that researchers set the participants also were similar in treatments and other factors so the effect of the diets could be isolated quote both diets are prudent choices for people at high risk of heart disease said Dr. Catherine Tuttle of Providence Medical Research Center and Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, Washington she led us the study and presented the results at the conference both the heart association and the Mediterranean diet are low in a saturated fat less than 7% of total calories and cholesterol less than 200 milligrams a day the typical Americans diet contains twice those levels or more total set in the study those on the American heart diet were told to keep total fat intake to less than 30% of calories the Mediterranean dieters were allowed to go up to 40% with the extra coming from a healthier mono and saturate and polyunsaturated fats and foods like olive oil avocados and especially fish it aimed for 20% to 25% of calories to come from these sources and fish three to five times per week was recommended researchers thought this diet would prove best because of the heart helpful omega-3 fatty acids in the fish they tested this hunch on 202 people who had suffered heart attacks in the previous six weeks 50 were put on the low fat diet and 51 on the Mediterranean diet both groups received two individual diet counseling sessions in the first month and six group sessions over the next two years the other 101 people served as a comparison group quote they got the usual advice in the hospital that was it unquote total set all were prescribed standard heart care drugs such as aspirin beta blockers and statins to lower cholesterol deaths second heart attack strokes and heart related hospitalizations were tracked after four years 83% of those on the low fat or Mediterranean diets had survived without such problems only 53% of the others did cholesterol levels improved in both diet groups but not the comparison group there was no difference in risk between the low fat and Mediterranean diet groups both did well despite being allowed more fat those on the Mediterranean diet found it tougher than the heart association one possibly because they were mostly older people on a custom to eating so much fish total said okay well the good fats are definitely the way to go they are the way to go the late great Dr. Robert Atkins stated and I heard him say it that the number one deficiency in America is essential fatty acids okay we have three well hmm we have three more articles you know what let me let me read this one article it's not really that health related but it's interesting I mean I'm very much into science study disputes mammal dinosaur link says die-off didn't cause species boom by Malcolm Ritter the Associated Press New York maybe you learn this in school the big dinosaur die-off 65 million years ago was a liberation for mammals and they quickly produced a bunch of new species that included ancestors of humans and other modern-day creatures remember well a new study says forget it scientists who constructed a massive evolutionary family tree for mammals found no sign of such a burst of new species at that time among the ancestors of present-day animals only mammals with no modern-day descendants show that effect now quote I was flabbergasted unquote said study co-author Ross McPhee curator of vertebrate zoology at the American Museum of Natural History in New York at at the time of the dinosaur demise mammals were small about the size of shrews and cats the longstanding idea has been that once the dinosaurs were gone mammals were suddenly free to exploit new food sources and habitats and as a result they produced a burst of new species the new study says that happened to some extent but that the new species largely largely led to evolutionary dead ends in contrast no such explosion of species was found among the ancestors of modern-day mammals like rodents cats horses elephants and people instead researchers report in today's issue of the journal Nature they showed an initial burst between 100 million 85 million years ago with another between about 55 million and 35 million years ago the timing of that first period of development generally agrees with the conclusions of some previous studies of mammal DNA which argue for a much earlier origin of some mammal lineages then the fossil record does the second burst had shown up in the fossil record McPhee said but he said the new study explains why scientists have been unable to find relatively modern-looking ancestors of the creatures known from that time without any evolutionary boost from the dinosaur demise those ancestors were still relatively primitive interesting here at mega like 21 a newsletter censored we're very much into science and the environment and this is a

scheduled program and now it's time for our first segment of health talk the resurrection of an ugly American resurrecting the ugly American to forge the world's first treaty to regulate trade in genetically modified products failed this morning when the United States and five other big agricultural exporters rejected a proposal that had the support of the rest of the roughly 130 nations taking part okay asked newspaper story from the New York Times dated February 24th 1999 hundreds of diplomats scientists United Nations bureaucrats and public interest group types went to Carp to Hannah Columbia earlier that year hoping to conclude a treaty that would help them feel safe with the products of genetic engineering for four years they had been arguing about environmental and human health dangers details of risk assessment procedures for exchanging information and regulating trade the necessity of ensuring liability and compensation and so forth Cartagena was scheduled to be their final negotiation worry about genetic engineering a come in the wake of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit and its creation the convention on biological diversity the CBD was based on the idea that all the nations and peoples of the world could get together to safeguard what is left of the world's biological resources in November 1995 the convention on biological diversity members decided to develop a biosafety protocol a binding treaty that would help prevent the products of genetic engineering from harming living organisms of the planet February 1999 there were 175 members of the convention on biological diversity the United States was not one of them the Bush administration had refused to sign the CBD partly on the grounds that it threatened us technology especially the United States biotechnology industry and partly on the grounds that it would impose unfair financial burdens on the United States the Clinton administration signed the CBD but the treaty was never ratified by the Senate for the CBD the US sent a large delegation to all CBD meetings dominated the biosafety discussions and generally enjoyed most of the privileges and few if any of the responsibilities of membership by the time negotiations in Cartagena were nearly we're nearing their end the United States was the main player for whatever reason the size of the United States biotechnology industry and the hope of other nations not to be left behind the difficulty of enforcing a protocol without the tactic agreement of the largest biotech player in the world United States economic might the amount of testosterone in the state department the exaggerated power of transnational corporations the state of the world's economy the rest of the world led the United States play the bully at Cartagena the United States the United States was not alone in the role of bully five allies Canada Australia Argentina Chile and Uruguay helped it hold sway over the rest of the world six of them like some Sydney Green Street gang in a B movie were known in Cartagena as the Miami group the city in which they had met for the first time the protocol the Miami group next the last night in Cartagena had already been negotiated into near impudence the precautionary principle cornerstone of the real earth summit the better better safe than sorry beacon of what to do in the face of insufficient scientific evidence have been reduced to a mere mention of its name in the preamble liability the guide to assigning responsibility if something goes wrong with the products of genetic engineering had been virtually eliminated socio economic concerns consideration of whether an engineered product could destroy a country's economy or agriculture or culture had been exercised the scope of the proposed protocol had been narrow to such an extent that no one in Cartagena was sure it actually applied to anything the document allowed trade between countries that signed the document and those that did not thereby eliminating any incentive to sign and the word label quote unquote as in the need to label genetically engineered food was nowhere to be found virtually everything the biosafety high ground players had fought over the years had been lost by the end of the negotiations even so the Miami group bought at allowing a biosafety protocol which might apply to their genetically engineered commodities from the earliest days of the CBD leadership on biosafety had come from the developing world not from countries with large biotechnology industries to protect while the United States asserted that the dangers of genetic engineering were being exaggerated that industry was doing sufficient testing that to stringent a protocol would not meet the free trade tests of the world trade organization the negotiator for the African group Ethiopia's doctor T. Wold Burhan get Gabriel egg egg Z Abher doing my best to pronounce this now reminded the United States that a biosafety protocol was meant to be an environmental treaty not a trade treaty while John Neville representative of the sagelles reason that safety not to be sacrificed to expediency quote unquote one-time policy analyst with Friends of the Earth and the World Resources Institute now deputy assistant to the Secretary of State ranted that he was quote not going to let anyone do anything that might harm a sixty eight billion dollar a year industry in the United States unquote suggested that someone was trying to pull strings there was gossip that Andrew Young have been sent to Africa before the meeting to whip the biosafety troublemakers into line there were whispers that President Clinton had made a last-minute phone call to the head of the European Union seeking to nudge him into the Miami camp some of the rumored pressures may have worked the Europeans had arrived in Cardana saying that they would play the middle ground quote between the extremes on quote of the Miami group and the African group representative of the European Union a group of nations whose citizens were demanding labeling moratoria and bands quietly agreed to scuttle the precautionary principle quote it's all just a it's all just the big boys jockeying for market position unquote explain one diplomat further adding to the Byzantine humid atmosphere was the fact that so many of the early meetings of importance in Cartagena were held in rooms behind closed doors at almost any hour you could find angry delegates in the corridors outside those doors saying how it all reminded them of quote the old colonial game unquote or the old days under the Soviets quote unquote whatever was going on and whoever was really in charge of Miami group held firm insisting on a narrowly focused treaty with minimal impact on industry claiming the United States had made many compromises but not dealing what they were but not detailing what they were a pomerance later would be quoted in the New York Times saying quote there were two compromises we were not prepared to make one is to tie up trade in the world's food supply the second is to allow this regime without a lot of deliberation to undermine the World Trade Organization trading regime unquote a Miami group refused to allow the protocol to apply to their genetically engineered corn and wheat arguing that commodities meant for eating and processing do not enter the environment but not explaining where else is it possible for them to go botched the protocol hours after negotiations were to have concluded exhausted delegates agreed to suspension of negotiations talks were to be resumed no later than May of 2000 the New York Times reported that quote beliri eye delegates from many nations expressed fury at the United States accused it of in trans against the interests of its world leading farming and biotechnology industries above the environment Miami Sun Sentinel reported just as bluntly quote critics claim United States greed is at root of refusal to sign biosafety treaty unquote taking it personally person who reported this story originally was there in Cartagena pretty bleary eyed and furious like many non-governmental organization representatives the person had followed or the reporter had followed the negotiations for years convinced of the need for a protocol we all we had all consulted scientists and put out white papers and published booklets and given workshops and ignored our families while we were organized consultations and rallies and whatever else we thought might bring some biosafety the end of it all none of it seemed to matter to be there that last night in Cartagena this is a detailed description of what happened there by this reporter and to realize that the whole world might get no biosafety because one country and its allies refused to allow their genetically engineered commodities to be regulated to know that there were environmental and human health hazards and they would not be met by to remember what the head of the United States delegation Melinda Kimball had said to a group of NGOs the night before quote the only treaty less popular in the United States than the convention on biological diversity is the treaty on the rights of the child unquote and to recall the audible gasp that followed her remarks as the meaning sunk in the future was officially unpopular in the United States it was too much right after negotiations broke down in Cartagena I ran into someone from the Food and Drug Administration the one the full FDA who in the corridor he was on the US delegation how can you stand yourself the reporter asked him a nearby delegate from Eastern Europe overheard very emotional unquote the FDA guy explained quote if rationality meet means risking ecological and human health on the sake of profits of one industry I certainly hope I'm emotional said the FDA guy to the you're an evil man the listening deli to intervene this is not an evil man I know him he's a very nice person really unquote he may seem like a nice person he may be very pleasant but he carries an evil message if I allow myself to think of him as a nice man if I if I do not insist that he is personally responsible for the messages he utters then one day I am certain he will come and tell me that he was only following orders unquote the delegate got my message I'm not sure about the FDA guy a few steps down the corridor the reporter ran into the there was no moral high ground here there was no scientific high ground there was just cheap power politics no seat occupant showed up it turned out to be Melinda Kimball head of the US delegation started to laugh by then I'd already shouted at her a lot everyone on the plane had probably heard me shouted her at least once I had nothing more to say I will move my legs aside so she could climb into her seat I took out a book and turned back to her as far as I could without undoing the seat belt I didn't speak to her the whole trip the politics of shunning when I got back home I allowed myself one last useless gesture I wrote the president in part I told him quote there was a lot of bitterness and anger at the end of the negotiations in Cartagena and while not all such feeling should be attributed to the bullying style of diplomacy favored by our delegation all the anger and bitterness I believe will come to be directed at the people and government of the United States okay this is all detailed description by this reporter quote because the United States has demonstrated an ability to push its way into the heart of negotiations among parties to a treaty our country has not yet ratified it will be assumed and perhaps correctly so that we are behind every untoward event utterance or outcome associated with this treaty every use of rules to subvert or prevent the utterance of opposing views and there was a great deal of such so-called rule manipulation in Cartagena will be designated an act of the United States every personal slight or embarrassment experienced by any of the delegates and there were many such slides in Cartagena will be experienced as an as an affront committed by the United States every utterance about the needs of our 68 billion a year industry will be understood as an attack on the environment and citizens of other countries continuous argument about protection of our industries will make us hated we will be seen as the fat despised and privileged members of a of a society seeking only to make more money and become more privileged quote one of the third world delegates in Cartagena a gentle scientist who found himself among many other outside closed doors waiting to hear news from the few real negotiators within said to me and this is a reporter that he was speaking to I honestly thought I was doing something here I honest honestly thought our discussions in the contact group in the contact groups were meaningful I honestly thought I was making a contribution worthy of what it cost my government to send me here but this were all of us wait while they tried to force a protocol by using rules most of us hardly know this is just brutal power just like the old colonial days quote another delegate asked me on the last day do they wish to push us into the arms of sedan positive example that arrested a world because we are the atheist the most powerful supposedly God's country and you know it's always God bless America it's never God bless anybody else apples but the only example we tend to be setting a broad which is causing a great deal of dissension is the example that we're all skates it's the greed of corporate America you would like to make about this week's okay that came from the archives the best of health talk when I used to do the show with the Rev.

Stephen Nissen a Cleveland clinic heart specialist and president of the college of cardiology why did angioplasty not help more it fixes only one blockage at a time whereas drugs effect all the arteries experts said also the clogs treated with angioplasty are not the really dangerous kind quote even though it goes against institution the blockages that are severe that cause chest pain are less likely to be the source of a heart attack than segments in the artery that are not severely blocked unquote said dr. David Marin a Vanderbilt university colleague cardiologists who helped lead the new study about 1.2 million angioplasties are done in the united states each year through a blood vessel in the groin a doctor's a snake a tube to a blocked heart artery a tiny balloon is inflated to flatten the clog and mesh a scaffold and a mesh scaffold stent is a usually placed the procedure already has lost some popularity because of emerging evidence that popular drug-coded stents can raise the risk of blood clots months at months later the new study shifts the argument from which type of stent to use to whether to do the procedure at all and they're always finding negative side effects are or negative negative information later on it's just amazing how the FDA just lets things go to market so quickly okay of course someone from the pharmaceutical industry told me that everything is very well tested yes of course what else is she going to say she's kissing the ass of the people who signed her paycheck okay okay the last article the last article is plastic compound found in pet food recall widens here we go again i'm sure a lot of you people know about the latest misfortune of people's beloved pets becoming very sick with like kidney failure and or dying from toxic substances found in pet food mostly moist pet food in a can but now it's it's uh infiltrating into possibly dry i will read on okay plastic compound found in pet food recall widens but fda testing fails to detect presence of rat poison by andrew bridges the associated press washington federal testing of recall pet foods turned up a chemical used to make plastics but failed to confirm the presence of a cancer drug also used as rat poison i wonder if that's kumitan no no that's kumitan use is a heart is a cardiology drug which is rat poison okay cardiology drug so that wouldn't be it might not be kumitan the recall expanded friday to include the first dry pet food see the food and drug administration said friday it found melamine in samples of the menu foods pet food involved in the original recall and in imported wheat gluten used as an ingredient in the company's wet style products cornell university scientists also found a melamine uh in the urine of sick cats as well as in the kidney of one cat that died after eating some of the recall food meanwhile hills pet nutrition recalled its prescription diet md feline dry cat food the food included weak gluten from the same supplier that menu foods use the recall didn't involve any other prescription diet or science products said the company a division of colgate palm olive company the fda was working to rule out the possibility that the contaminated wheat gluten could have made it into any food into any human food however melamine is toxic only in high doses experts said leaving its role in the pet deaths unclear menu foods recalled 60 million containers of cat and dog food sold throughout north america under nearly 100 brands earlier this month after animals died of kidney failure after eating the canadian company's products it is not clear how many pets may have been poisoned by the apparently contaminated food although anecdotal reports suggest hundreds if not thousands have died the fda alone has received more than 8 000 complaints the company more than 300 000 company officials on friday would not provide updated numbers of pets sickened by or killed by its contaminated product pet owners would be compensated for the veterinary bills and the deaths of any dogs and cats linked to his company's products the company said isn't that nice they're going to monetarily compensate people for their beloved pets that that's going to really make up for the loss of the cat or dog the melamine finding came a week after scientists at the new york state food laboratory identified a cancer drug and rat poison called amino aminoopterin aminopterin aminopterin as the likely culprit in the pet food but the fda said it could not confirm that finding nor have researchers at the university of medicine and dentistry of new jersey when they looked at tissue samples taken from dead cats and experts at the university of gulef detected aminoopterin in some samples of the recalled pet food but only in the parts per billion or trillion range quote biologically that means nothing it wouldn't do anything unquote said grant maxi a veterinary pathologist at the canadian university quote this is a puzzle unquote meanwhile new york officials stuck to their aminoopterin finding and pointed out that it was unlikely that melamine could have poisoned any of the animals thought to have died after eating the contaminated pet food melamine is used to make plastic kitchenware and is used as a fertilizer in asia yeah the the imported wheat gluten is from china so a lot of things coming from overseas particularly china and that is sold to the us they always seem to find some hazardous chemical in it i i heard stories at the the d all the the the the was at the dbt that was outlawed in the united states decades ago of course the companies that made the dbt couldn't dispose of it just like that they had to sell it they had to make money off it they couldn't take a loss so they sold it internationally and from what i hear the produce grown in chili countries like chili and maybe there are others okay are still using uh the deadly dbt as um a um as an insecticide okay so in a winter time a lot of the produce does come from south of the border and overseas and uh as a result may have dbt on it so that's a wonderful thought i think bananas were included in that okay um okay that that concludes the last of the health related articles that's it for the health related articles for this week on the live broadcast of health talk let us go to commercial with the reverend dr william j eisman and then we'll go to our next health talk topic which is control release alpha lipoic acid take it away

best way to be a part of this organization get it now okay the next segment of health talk is about control release alpha lipoic acid okay listeners this week's health talk is about controlled release alpha lipoic acid helps stabilize blood sugar the introduction of a controlled release form of alpha lipoic acid is good news for the millions who suffer with type 2 diabetes the benefits of alpha lipoic acid for the treatment of diabetic complications have long been known and studies have shown it's helpful in reducing blood glucose levels however before the development of a controlled release tablet the most effective form was intravenous administration how alpha lipoic acid comes to the rescue the fact that levels of alpha lipoic acid are low in diabetics may have first led to the idea to administer it intravenously as a treatment for diabetic neuropathy this method has been used for more than 30 years in europe where it has been shown to reduce the symptoms of neuropathy pain burning tingling and loss of sensation and to help prevent progression of the condition but understanding how and why alpha lipoic acid works is perhaps a more recent revelation type 2 adult onset diabetes is the most common form of diabetes striking 90 to 95 percent of the 13.2 million people diagnosed with the disease it usually begins with insulin resistance a disorder in which the cells do not use insulin effectively when insulin is not used properly or not enough is produced glucose accumulates in the bloodstream over time elevated glucose blood sugar levels can cause serious complications including nerve damage to the lower extremities neuropathy damage to the eyes that can cause blindness retinopathy kidney failure hypertension and heart disease in diabetes we believe that the cells cannot cope with the high glucose levels says ira gold fine md professor of medicine and physiology at the university of california san francisco school of medicine bears in overproduction of free radicals and reactive oxygen radicals that damage the dna in cells in diabetics this damage occurs in the kidneys the eyes the nerves and the vascular system there's a huge need for antioxidants to control this oxidative stress in fact recent studies have shown that oxidative stress plays a major role in the development of insulin resistance one such study which was conducted by gold fine and colleagues showed that oxidative stress could produce insulin resistance in muscle cells and the restingly cells treated with alpha lipoic acid were fully protected from the effects of oxidative stress so how does alpha lipoic acid work experts believe that it's the powerful antioxidant actions of alpha lipoic acid that account for its effectiveness a fatty acid found in trace amounts in all living things alpha lipoic acid is a potent free radical scavenger it also has the unique ability to regenerate other antioxidants namely vitamins c and e and can repair oxidized proteins the benefits of controlled release while trials using oral alpha lipoic acid have shown some benefits there have remained doubts that that oral delivery could approach the effects found with intravenous administration the challenge of oral supplementation experts explain is that alpha lipoic acid is rapidly cleared from the blood by the liver and must be transformed into another more usable form for maximum benefits as both an antioxidant and a glucose disposal agent the development of a controlled release formula however seems to have overcome these challenges in fact a study led by researcher joseph evans phd showed that a controlled release formula uh glucotides maintain therapeutic plasma levels two and a half hours longer than other alpha lipoic acid formulas the study also showed that the controlled release alpha lipoic acid formula significantly lowered uh fructose amine levels in type two diabetics after 12 weeks of treatment fructose amine is an indicator for glucose control over a three week average explains evans we found that with a daily 1200 milligram dose there was a 15 drop in fructose amine levels in some cases this allowed a lowering of diabetes medications new research shows promise although studies to assess the effectiveness of controlled release alpha lipoic acid on neuropathy have not been completed the well-established positive effects of intravenous administration indicate that this formula will also have these benefits research is being conducted to ascertain its effect on other diabetic complications and a study is planned to test its benefits in treating type type one diabetes interestingly some of the most exciting research on controlled release alpha lipoic acid is with conditions other than diabetes a new preliminary unpublished study shows that a single dose of controlled release alpha lipoic acid significantly improves artery flow an action that may prove valuable in the treatment of cardiovascular disease guidelines for use controlled release alpha lipoic acid is available in 300 milligram tablets while trial dosages have ranged up to 1800 milligrams per day for most people 300 milligrams daily is an appropriate dosage if sleep is disturbed cutback for glucose control and relief of neuropathy symptoms take two tablets before breakfast and one tablet before dinner if additional glucose control is needed or neuropathy symptoms persist a tablet before lunch can be added to improve absorption take each dose 30 to 60 minutes before eating when starting to use control release alpha lipoic acid diabetics should continue to take their regular medications and work closely with their doctors to monitor insulin levels blood sugar needs to be monitored closely to avoid hypoglycemia also individuals taking blood pressure drugs should be aware that they may need to reduce the dosage of these drugs when taking alpha lipoic acid this product should not be used by those who have a sensitivity to alpha lipoic acid or sulfur containing compounds by pregnant or lactating women or those who are thiamine deficient okay revan dr william j isaman would you like to comment on this week's health talk concerning controlled release alpha lipoic acid okay our next health talk topic okay we'll be uh let's see well since we did a pro a segment here about the poor unfortunate dogs and cats who have died from the poison pet food let us do this one here from the archives of the best of health talk called cold care for puppies and kittens okay listeners this week's health talk is going to be for animal lovers it is called cold care for kittens and puppies um scenario here uh okay i have a new puppy that always seems to have a cold he just doesn't seem to be healthy is there anything natural i can try i suggest giving supplemental bovine colostrum a try colostrum packed with protein growth factors enzymes hormones and micronutrients has a great potential for healing i use it for kittens and puppies that are not thriving as well as for sick older animals or simply as a health booster all my geriatric patients go on colostrum animals often improve within days i use a powdered supplement from new zealand available at health food stores and pharmacies the dosage is one eighth to one half teaspoon four times a day depending on the size of the animal dilute in water and feed directly with a syringe or a baby bottle or if the animal is eating solids sprinkle the powder on the food once an animal is stable reduce frequency to once a day and use about one third teaspoon for up to 25 pounds of body weight one third teaspoon per 25 pounds is also my starting dosage for older animals colostrum bolsters the digestive tract and the immune system which are intrinsically connected the gut is not only where digestion takes place but also where the body neutralizes pathogens that enter through the mouth colostrum balances the gut's beneficial bacteria fortifies the critical immune agents operating there and enhances nutrient absorption i have great results in dogs and cats with chronic or acute diarrhea and immune deficiencies not to mention the miraculous results with humans with colostrum for for persistent problems consult a veterinarian okay tip of the month when you feed your pet think of quality and not just the quantity of protein fat carbohydrate and added vitamins listed on the pet food label freshness wholesomeness energy and digestibility of food also counts in these categories holistic veterinarians give low grades to most commercial foods supplement your pet with nutritious table scraps to expand the variety of the menu and nutritional intake personally myself i am very partial to a company called innova when it comes to feeding dogs and cats kittens and puppies just compare the ingredients with all of the other brands and now nothing comes close to innova for quality okay the next listeners the final segment of this week's health talk is called eat your veggies fight breast cancer breast cancer patients may help keep the disease in check with a high fiber low fat diet that includes lots of fruits and vegetables one reason may be that fiber flushes estrogen of course high levels of which may promote breast cancer out of the body a year-long study of breast cancer patients showed that women who follow a cancer prevention diet including high fruit and vegetable intake and reduce fat consumption in addition to participating in related cooking classes and phone counseling had significantly lower estrogen levels than a comparison group the group that ended up with higher estrogen levels ate a higher fat diet and received cooking classes that were not specifically aimed at cancer prevention average fiber intake in the cancer prevention group was 29 grams per day in contrast to 22 grams per day in the comparison group average fat intake in the cancer prevention group was 21 percent per day while the comparison groups average fat intake was 28 percent this is from the journal of clinical oncology 2004 okay listeners um the next segment which uh i would like to continue from the previous one to finalize this week's health talk is called brain food creativity enriching experiences plus the right nutrients can produce new brain cells there's a popular misconception that we use only 10 percent of our brains another myth is that after we reach adulthood we don't make any more brain cells it turns out that we use far more of our brains than researchers once thought and we routinely grow new brain cells nutrition and life experiences influence the number of neurons and synapses which is connections in our brains described simply to make new brain cells an existing cell must first duplicate its deoxyribonucleic acid dna the new dna will contain the biological instructions that govern cell function but to make new dna a brain cell must have adequate amounts of several b vitamins including folic acid and vitamins b3 b6 and b12 other nutrients are also needed for dna to do its job including vitamin c zinc selenium and amino acids without them you can't make either new dna or new cells your day to day experiences also foster or inhibit neurogenesis for example stresses during infancy interfere with the production of brain cells and lead to smaller brains conversely experiences that provide psychological security stimulate growth of brain cells this dynamic activity of the brain continues throughout life and brain cells and synapses are formed and reshaped every day negative emotions work pressures and bad relationships reduce neurogenesis and increase the risk of depression and anxiety meanwhile enriching experiences have a more positive effect earnest rossy phd and imminent uh psychologist and author of the psychobiology of gene expression published by ww norton and company 2002 describe how we can promote healthy brain development as adults he wrote that novelties such as travel to new places being creative or enjoying other people's creativity and exercise can promote neurogenesis and healing all that should make perfect sense after all it's more proof of our mind-body connection okay i want to talk about the herb rhodiola rosea which is also commonly known as arctic root rhodiola rosea is a relative newcomer in herbal medicine in the united states but its therapeutic powers are well known in many other parts of the world uh in the rhodiola revolution uh by rodale books 2004 by richard p brown md and patricia l gerbar md you'll find compelling research spanning 30 years plus case studies documenting the herbs benefits for health concerns including stress fatigue anxiety obsessive compulsive disorder post traumatic stress disorder depression memory and sexual function tips on finding a quality product plus storage usage and dosage guidelines are included average dosage for rhodiola is 200 to 400 milligrams per day kids low on vitamin d kids are filling up on soft drinks instead of milk and spending less time in the sun uh well i blame computers and video games for that and you know it's up to the parents uh to monitor their children to make sure they're consuming the right foods and beverages and a lot of parents evidently are not paying close attention to their kids okay thanks to uh thanks to the doctor's spark mentality and approach to parenting it's it's a complete failure okay the whole concept of uh of not disciplining your child the old-fashioned way and it's taking its toll a study of 11 to 18 year olds in boston found that about one fourth were deficient in vitamin d and five percent were severely deficient this may be an indication of a national problem adequate vitamin d synthesized from sunlight and available in fortified cereals and milk is crucial for calcium absorption and bone development kids who said they drank milk and ate cereal were less likely to be low on vitamin d according to study results that analyze blood samples from 307 kids for kids who don't like milk or are allergic to dairy products there are vitamin d enriched juices and multi vitamins are a good option i would go with the multi vitamin and not so much the juice and you know we don't want i mean there's enough hyperactivity in children nowadays attention deficit disorder and all this caused by too many uh carbs in the diet too much when in the case of children too much sugar says the study's author catherine m gordon md from the archives of pediatrics and adolescent medicine 2004 and um to finalize this week's health talk this is called this is a cute article called use your marbles i find this interesting because i see these marbles at the dollar store every time i go ever feel like you're losing it try keeping a bowl of marbles on your desk or wherever you spend most of your time working or studying while they can serve as a lovely aesthetic addition to your office or home decor their more important function is to act as your personal reflexology masseuse put a handful under your desk and roll your feet over them this will stimulate the reflex points on your souls which will relax and invigorate your entire body for those of you that are familiar with reflexology very similar to acupuncture stimulates certain vital pressure points under your feet or it could be your hands or even your ears if you massage them certain pressure points are connected to every organ in every section of your body and it involves the free flowing and stimulation of the electromagnetic pathways known as meridians here's how courtesy of spa simple steps for health and well-being by andrea mccloud chronicle books 2004 place a handful of marbles on the floor by your feet roll both feet slowly and firmly over the marbles your massage can go on for as long as you wish but give yourself at least five minutes no using a golf ball will have the same effect make sure to uh a stash one in your bag when you travel but i think the marbles might be a little more stimulating because you have the rotation of many small balls uh rather than just the one okay interesting all right reverend dr. william j isamin would you like to comment on this week's

the unofficial first day of summer and the beach for those that live on the coasts you think about going to the beach and when you think about going to the beach you ladies out there thinking think about your figure and how you look in a full-length one-piece bathing suit if for those of you that are not genetically blessed you know with with the bikini body or those of you that are genetically in great shape and have worked out hard all year and throughout winter okay who who've ate properly and worked out and have exercise self-control when the major holidays came around some of you don't have far to go to be bikini ready but there are others that do not have the bikini body who are less fortunate or maybe you don't maybe they have a higher predisposition to to fat cells through through a poor childhood diet they have more fat cells than the bikini clad women or maybe you just let yourself go and you just picked out there in the major holidays during the winter and and put on whatever 10 20 pounds or more regardless when the weather starts getting nice after the new year's resolution in january where a lot of people start joining health clubs okay and you know once the nice weather rolls around and and the end of winter is here people start thinking about Memorial Day weekend and getting in shape for the summer so this next health talk topic the last one of this show for this week will be the truth about cellulite which is related to how women look in their bathing suit or or in their birthday suit or whatever women are very concerned about that women tend to have cellulite where men usually don't so this segment is applicable to you ladies okay the truth about cellulite okay listen is this week's health talk is going to be fat or fiction the truth about cellulite you may never be able to completely eliminate it but you can fight it every step of the way here's what works and what doesn't in 1973 a salon owner and Nicole uh ronsard published one of the first books on cellulite titled cellulite those lumps bumps and bulges you couldn't lose before by the beauty and health publishing corporation since then doctors researchers and uh aestheticians have had conflicting opinions about what cellulite really is according to many doctors it's fat with a twist it's just the way women were put together there says uh Mitchell Goldman md associate clinical professor of dermatology at the university of california san diego and medical director at la joya spa md quote men store fat in beer bellies women store it in cellulite unquote so why the lumps and bumps between the skin and the muscle is a space that's filled with fat cells fibers bands in the fascia surrounding the muscles do not give to allow the fat to spread under the skin but instead force the fat to the surface first the bad news no matter how thin you are you can still have bumps quote you'll lose cellulite only if you lose all your body fat unquote says goldman but there's some hope say cellulite can be treated with lifestyle changes and a few natural products diet do's and don'ts allergies and food sensitivities may contribute to cellulite quote fluid retention can form in response to any toxin or food sensitivity says cat james author of the truth about beauty beyond words publishing 2003 quote the body will accumulate water in order to dilute and sequester toxins into pockets to keep them from the vital organs and bloodstream unquote if you have food sensitivities or allergies try eliminating the offending substances from your diet for at least two weeks thank you very much will you so you lost another argument with a conservative right-wing republican he talked over you he screams and yell he brought out the bible he thumped it he quoted
