It’s a heartwarming story and a pretty photo, but far from a complete picture of what women need to know about this still experimental fertility preserving procedure. Nowhere does the article tell women the actual success rates of occyte cryo-preservation. So before you run out to freeze your eggs, know this – the chance of having a pregnancy after egg freezing is less than a 50/50 shot – at most about 39%, according to the latest data.  That’s about the same odds you’d have if you just wait till 40 to try to get pregnant on your own. In addition, while somewhere between 1...

For women over 45, there is less than a 1 percent chance of getting pregnant using their own eggs. Successful pregnancy for women over 45 is nearly always the result of in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and the use of an egg donor. Researchers at Tel Aviv University reviewed birth records from 2000 to 2008, specifically looking at the records of 177 women who gave birth at the age of 45 and beyond. The majority of the women had IVF and received donor eggs, and 80 percent of the babies were delivered via cesarean section (C-section). Despite their celebrity, Kelly Presley (age 47), Celine Dion (age 42), and Mariah Carey (age 40), are older pregnant women ...

Large food and agribusiness companies have generally signed off on most of the new proposals as acceptable. Many smaller producers, on the other hand, suspect there will be less room for them, and for local variety generally, in this reassuring new world of business and government cooperation.

Yet, these days, the overarching opinion is that limiting cholesterol is not necessary if you eat a diet low in saturated fat and free of trans-fats, and you don't have diabetes. In the Physicians' Health Study, men with diabetes had an increased chance risk of dying or having a heart attack or stroke if they consumed eggs. The study, though flawed, raises questions. According to dietitians, diabetics should eat no more than two egg yolks per week. Eggs provide a low-cost, nutrient-rich source of complete protein that many people do not get elsewhere, especially those who are on modified eating plans. Check out more information on AOL Health.

Well, most people have heard of MS (see here), but how many have heard of this particular experimental treatment: Once the eggs are inside the body, they will hatch into worms that live in the gut.

Somewhere around the time David was conceived I found out that my cholesterol scores were higher than my verbal SATs.

We'll call it "Oceans."Oceans employed a Vice President of Quality Assurance – we'll call him Dr. Bob – who had worked for them for more than 25 years, and was nearing retirement. The Quality Assurance department consisted of Dr. Bob and one lab technician, Billy.Dr. Bob worried about the microbiological safety of the beef trim that Oceans was purchasing from slaughterhouses to produce its fresh ground beef. He was especially concerned about E. coli O157:H7. But his budget was limited. He couldn't afford to use the elaborate conventional test methods that were available at the time.When Dr. Bob learned about a newly approved, inexpensive m... eFoodAlert.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2992869 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 14:20:00 +0100 2992869 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2989432&cid=t_104254_167_f&fid=36991&url=http%3A%2F%2Fefoodalert.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F11%2Frecall-roundup-november-12-2009.html Here is today's list of food safety recalls, product withdrawals and allergy alerts.
