Corrupted doctors

clipper's remarks: When you lied once at least, who will trust you further?

Striking example of our totally corrupted medicine and health care. Corrupted by whom? Who corrupt society and its institutions? How we calling those who perform the corruption and their accomplices? If these organized individuals do corrupt our society, how can we expect any benefits for our health and well being from them, their actions?

Lie cannot last forever and in the end the truth will find its way out. Who will resist to make it happen?

CHICAGO – Advice about soft drinks and health from one of the nation's largest doctors groups will soon be brought to you by Coke.

The American Academy of Family Physicians has prompted outcry and lost members over its new six-figure alliance with the Coca-Cola Co. The deal will fund educational materials about soft drinks for the academy's consumer health and wellness Web site, http://www.FamilyDoctor.org.

"Coca-Cola, like other sodas, causes enormous suffering and premature death by increasing the risks of obesity, diabetes, heart attacks, gout, and cavities," Harvard University nutrition expert Dr. Walter Willett said in an e-mail.

Walker has been a member of the academy for 25 years but quit last week. He said 20 other doctors who work with his local medical practice also quit because of the Coke deal.

n an effort to combat childhood obesity, there is rumor that Sesame Street's Cookie Monster is turning into a health-crazed Veggie Monster.

Dr. Rosemarie T. Truglio vice president of research and education. said the show changes every year, focusing not just on teaching numbers and letters but also emotional and physical health. With the rise in childhood obesity, Truglio said “Sesame Street” is concentrating on the need to teach children about healthy foods and physical activity.

Truglio said “Sesame Street” also will introduce new characters, such as talking eggplants and carrots, and offer parodies, such as “American Fruit Stand.”

The big question is: Will this stuff work?

Interesting facts about Pasta

One of the staple foods that finds place in many homes on a daily basis is none other than Pasta. Not only is pasta a very versatile and nutritious food, it is also relatively inexpensive.

An interesting aspect of Pasta is that it is a “mood food”, or, in other words, consumption of pasta will make you feel good, about 30 minutes from the time you consume the food and depending upon the ingredients in pasta, the good mood might last for a longer period of time.

What causes this good feeling? It has been found that consumption of pasta will increase the level of a chemical called serotonin in the body. This serotonin is used by the brain to trigger the good feeling.

Of late, thanks to the advancement in nutrition study and the growing concern about obesity, some nutrients prescribe reducing the intake of pasta.

Sex, alcohol, fat among world's big killers: WHO

Tackling just five health factors could prevent millions of premature deaths and increase global life expectancy by almost 5 years, the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) said Tuesday.

Poor childhood nutrition, unsafe sex, alcohol, bad sanitation and hygiene, and high blood pressure are to blame for around a quarter of the 60 million premature deaths around the world each year, the WHO said in a report.

But while not having enough nutritious food is a big health risk for those in poorer countries, obesity and being overweight pose yet bigger risks in richer nations -- leading to a situation in which obesity and being overweight causes more deaths worldwide than being underweight.

These factors raised the risk of chronic diseases and some of the biggest killers such as heart disease, diabetes and cancers, and affected "countries across all income groups -- high, middle and low," it said.

Too fat to kill? Fla. man uses weight as a defense

(10-29) 06:18 PDT Hackensack, N.J. (AP) --

A man accused of running up and down a flight of stairs to kill a former son-in-law is offering a novel defense: At 5 feet 8 and 285 pounds, he was just too fat to have pulled it off.

An attorney for Edward Ates is making the case that his client wouldn't have had the energy needed to fatally shoot Paul Duncsak, a 40-year-old pharmaceutical executive, from a perch on the staircase.

Lawyer Walter Lesnevich claims that Ates, 62 at the time of the 2006 killing, was in such bad physical shape that he couldn't have pulled off the shooting or the fast getaway the killer made.

Lesnevich said his client's weight has led to asthma, sleep apnea and other obesity-related ailments.

"You look at Ed and you don't need to hear it from a doctor," Lesnevich said.
