            <title>A Test for Alzheimer's: Would You Take It?</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4168020&amp;cid=t_364194_111_f&amp;fid=36048&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FAHeartyLife%2F%7E3%2Fr6A2AdhmgxU%2F</link>

In as little as two years, scientists say that there could be a 30 second test to spot early signs of Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s that could be given to people as early as in their 40s. The aim is that patients could then take steps to prevent the onset of the disease. While this sounds too good to be true for those who have lost a family member to Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s, the question still remains: What if the prevention is unsuccessful?
Would you rather know that you were going to get Alzheimer&amp;#8217;s and spend a lot of time and money trying to delay the onset, or would you rather let nature take it&amp;#8217;s course? Let us know in the comments section.

We&amp;#8217;re not big fans of pumping ourselves full of cold medicine the second our noses start running. But we&amp;#8217;re also not fond of feeling like crap all day. Luckily, The Daily Green has got 12 all-natural, at-home remedies to get us through cold season.
1. For a cough: Put three tablespoons of dried thyme into a pint of boiling water. Once it cools, add a cup of honey and take one teaspoon every hour (if needed).
2. To prevent colds: Eat a diet rich in vitamin C to keep colds at bay.
3. For a runny nose: Add garlic to your food for a few days, and kiss your snot goodbye.
4.  For nosebleeds: Eat a cup of leafy greens daily to get the vitamin K you need to keep your capillaries strong against dry indoor air.

Colleen Cappon was 21 years old and had just started her senior year at State University of New York Cortland in Cortland, N.Y., when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Three years after FoxNews.com originally told her story, Cappon, now 24, is showing no signs of cancer and working at the Fox News Channel. Here, she tells her story.
This time three years ago I was in the middle of four months of chemotherapy treatments. I was bald as an egg and was planning a double mastectomy.
My how things have changed.
Now I have a college diploma, a clean report from my doctors, and my very own desk at Fox News Channel in New York. I recently got engaged to my boyfriend Chris who supported me...</description>

Our partners at AOL Health give us some insight into the news of Dr. Oz&amp;#8217;s recent cancer scare. 
Health guru Dr. Mehmet Oz is now at high risk for developing cancer. During the season premiere of his show Tuesday, he took his TV audience behind the scenes of his recent scare, from his colonoscopy to the daunting results.
Last week, Dr. Oz revealed that he has a precancerous polyp on his colon, which was caught early enough so that it won&amp;#8217;t likely turn into something more serious –  for now.
&amp;#8220;This was a shake-up for me,&amp;#8221; he told People magazine. &amp;#8220;I have done everything right. I don&amp;#8217;t have any family history, and yet I&amp;#8217;m &amp;#8216;high-risk&amp;#8217; now.&amp;#8221;

Today&amp;#8217;s Question: Since we&amp;#8217;re on the topic of breast cancer, let&amp;#8217;s find out what nontraditional methods could possibly fight it. Which of the following fruits have been shown to kill breast cancer cells: watermelon, oranges, peaches, kiwis, or plums? Choose all that apply.

Answer to Yesterday&amp;#8217;s Question: The number of women who will be diagnosed with breast cancer is shockingly high — 1 in 8. That&amp;#8217;s why it&amp;#8217;s important to do regular self-checks and head to the doctor if you feel anything strange.

            <description>Kathy Griffin put her high-heels up on the gynecological exam table in front of a crowd of people to raise awareness about cervical cancer. While the comedienne&amp;#8217;s stunt may seem like our worst nightmare, it&amp;#8217;s definitely for a good cause. Many women avoid getting a yearly pap smear because they think it&amp;#8217;s gross or painful. Others simply forget. Actually, a pap smear is quick and painless (though slightly uncomfortable), and can detect the early signs of cancer before it reaches an advanced stage. Work it, Kathy.

            <description>This is the first post by Drew Grant, Associate Editor of our sister site, Crushable, about her efforts to quit smoking using the Become An Ex program.
Telling people you&amp;#8217;re quitting smoking just doesn&amp;#8217;t have the same social impact that say, kicking heroin or drying out from alcohol does. You never see an episode of A&amp;E&amp;#8217;s Intervention where worried friends and family trick a three-pack-a-day fiend into a small room so that Dr. Jeff VanVonderen can give them the option of rehab. Why not?
Well, for one thing, smoking is generally thought of as more of a symptomatic problem: It&amp;#8217;s what you do along with drinking, or snorting cocaine, or what have you, and therefore isn&amp;#8217;t the main issue for most people with &amp;#8220;bad habits.&amp;#8221; That&amp;#8217;s why in AA or NA...</description>

A new report by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, and the National Cancer Institute lists 20 cancer-causers or potential cancer-causers. The list includes formaldehyde, which, if you remember, is one of the substances that aspartame breaks down into. It also includes titanium dioxide, which is still used in paint and sunscreen; propylene oxide, which is found in polyurethane plastics; and diesel exhaust. Even shift work is on the list — remember when we told you about how abnormal work schedules hurt your health? Check out the full list below:

Lead and lead compounds


Indium phosphide


Cobalt with tungsten carbide


Titanium dioxide

We&amp;#8217;re always talking (and writing) about ways to de-stress. We know that constantly being stressed can have seriously bad implications for our body and our mind, but this news got us all worked up: A new study shows that stressed out mice fought tumors way better than mice that were relaxing all the time. (How do mice relax, exactly?)
Mice were injected with melanoma. Some mice were in a large cage with other mice, lots of toys, and space. Other mice remained in the normal lab cages. Three weeks into the study, the tumors of the mice who were in the more stimulating cage shrank to half their previous size, and they had shrunk 77% in six weeks. The tumors even disappeared in 17% of the mice. The mice in the normal cages had tumors that continued to grow.
So, what&amp;#82...</description>

We&amp;#8217;ve been delving into vitamins and supplements lately, and it turns out that John Dempster, our handsome Naturopathic Doctor, was onto something with his fish oil supplement recommendation. We know people have been taking the omega-3 fatty-acid-rich supplement for ages, but new research shows that fish oil can reduce the risk of breast cancer. (Plus, it makes your skin purty!)
Post-menopausal women between the ages of 50 and 76 who took fish oil were 32% less likely to develop certain types of breast cancer than women who didn&amp;#8217;t take fish oil. Doctors recommend trying to get your daily dose of fish oil from actual fish rather than the supplement, but it seems like both will do you good. You know what this means: Sushi, sister!

            <title>Top 7 Smoking Myths That Stop You From Quitting</title>

            <description>You just smoke when you&amp;#8217;re stressed; you think it&amp;#8217;s good for your figure; or you think it&amp;#8217;s your body, and you&amp;#8217;ll do what you want. There are a lot of excuses that keep you puffing away, but deep down you probably know you should quit. AOL Health&amp;#8217;s &amp;#8220;Myths That Keep You Smoking&amp;#8221; may change your mind about your favorite excuse.
1. Quitting will make you fat: Thin models and actresses who smoke, and ads like the one above from Virginia Slims make you think that cigarettes are the key to keeping your figure, but quitting doesn&amp;#8217;t have to mean gaining tons of weight. The average quitter gains about 10 pounds at first, but studies have shown that health-minded quitters tend not to gain as much weight: Clearing up your lungs actually makes it easier ...</description>

            <description>It seems like a no-brainer that lighting something on fire and inhaling the smoke wouldn&amp;#8217;t be good for you. But not so long ago, smoking was socially acceptable in schools, doctors&amp;#8217; offices, airplanes, and the town of Bedrock – as seen in this 1960s Winston cigarettes commercial. Yabba. Dabba. Doobie.

            <title>Should a Walmart Worker Be Fired for Smoking Medical Marijuana?</title>

Getting laid off for drug use might seem pretty understandable, but a man in Michigan was fired from his job at Walmart for using medical marijuana to relieve pain from an inoperable brain tumor and sinus cancer. He had to submit to a mandatory drug test after an on-the-job injury, and tested positive. After he took legal action, Walmart said it was sympathetic, but didn&amp;#8217;t back down.
Do you think Walmart has the right to fire someone because they smoke medical marijuana? Our gut tells us no, but what if the pot causes poor job performance?

            <title>7 Ways Germs Can Be Good For You (And Why You Should Think Twice Before Taking Antibiotics)</title>

            <description>Germs, especially bacteria, have a fairly tarnished reputation among health circles, but according to Martin Blaser, chairman of the department of medicine at New York University Medical School, we might actually need more of them. The former president of the Infectious Disease Society of America says that our use of antibiotics and antibacterial products has reduced the number of healthy bacteria in our digestive tracts, changing our digestion and contributing to the rise in obesity.
According to an article from Forbes.com, he&amp;#8217;s not the only one who thinks that bacteria could be a good thing: They&amp;#8217;ve compiled a list of ways that germs can actually be good for you, backed up by research from several scientists:

            <description>Do you smoke or know someone who does? More importantly, do you want to quit?
At Blisstree, we think smoking is a big deal. And apparently, so do you. (One of our posts: What Happens to Your Body If You Stop Smoking Right Now? currently has 4,282 comments.)
That&amp;#8217;s why we&amp;#8217;re partnering with EX® for this week&amp;#8217;s giveaway to support smokers who want to kick the habit, as well as non-smokers who want to help them do it.

BecomeAnEX is a FREE online and social-media-based quit smoking program. Get this: 70% of smokers in the U.S. want to quit, but only about 5% of smokers are successful in quitting long-term. Most people just don’t know how to quit.
That’s where EX comes in. The free EX Plan, available at BecomeAnEX, teaches smokers how to “re-learn” life without cigar...</description>

            <description>She killed Bill, and now Uma Thurman is helping to wipe out cancer as the new ambassador for Saks&amp;#8217; Key for The Cure Campaign. The actress will be taking over Gwyneth Paltrow&amp;#8217;s role as spokesperson for the Saks Fifth Avenue fundraisers and promote special t-shirts to help raise money for the EIF’s Breast Cancer Research Fund.

            <description>Do you have a favorite health-focused nonprofit? If you do, it&amp;#8217;s time to let GreatNonprofits and GuideStar know about it. Throughout the month of June, these two organizations are working together – in partnership with the National Association for Health and Fitness, Mental Health America, Cancer Schmancer, Diabetes Hands Foundation, FACE AIDS, and HopeLab – to compile user generated reviews of nonprofits in order to identify the best groups that work to improve the health and well-being of their communities.
And they want to know what you think! You can be a donor, volunteer, board member, client, or a member of the public. Tell them: How do these organizations make an impact? Which ones are great? Which ones need improvement?
If a nonprofit garners at least 10 positive reviews ...</description>

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is found in an astonishing array of everyday items – home siding, school supplies, car interiors, medical tubing, and many more common products – but when PVC production produces dioxins, the most toxic substances in the world and a known cause of cancer.
The Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics singles out companies, like Nokia, that have stopped using PVC in the production of their goods, but it&amp;#8217;s not only electronics producers that are moving away from the deadly plastic. Microsoft, Honda, Walmart, Target and Nike have all started shifting production away from PVC.
A representative from the Vinyl Institute, an industry trade group, thinks that the move away from PVC is a mistake, and that no one will find a plastic better than P...</description>
