3 Sugar Craving Killers You Need to Know
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” ― Hippocrates
Jenna, a mother of four, has struggled with a sweet tooth her whole life.
“When I was a kid, I’d have a bowl of cereal in the morning. It came in an attractive box with the cartoon character on front, and I’d eat it without a second thought.”
She had Oreos and Twinkies at school, but the apple and sandwich her mom made for her would go uneaten in her lunch box. Dinner of course, wouldn’t be complete without dessert, like a big helping of chocolate cake or apple pie.
“This went on for years and years. Although my parents always encouraged me to eat healthy, I’d always look for some form of sweets every time we ate.”
It wasn’t until Jenna had kids of her own when she finally realized how damaging sugar addiction is.
She went on: “I’d try to kick my dependence on it and fail every time, so I kind of gave up at some point in my adult life. But what really woke me up was seeing my own children go through the same problems I had at their age. They were gaining weight, had a hard time focusing on their school work, and they’d get lethargic after their sugar rush. Plus, it was wreaking havoc on their teeth too.”
So Jenna knew she needed an intervention not just for herself, but also for her family.
With the support of her husband and health professionals, Jenna managed to overcome her addiction to sugar. Not only that, she also spared her kids from growing up with an out-of-control sweet tooth.
“Our family doctor referred us to a nutritionist and a fitness coach. It’s only been a couple of months now, but I think that we’re on the right track,” she shared.

Fun Functional Gallbladder Disorders: Update on Hypo and Hyperkinetic Gallbla...Patricia Raymond
Functional gallbladder disorder is biliary pain from motility disturbance in the absence of gallstones, sludge, or microcrystal disease. In patients with biliary-type pain and a normal US, the prevalence is 8% men and 21% women. We will review the clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management of patients with suspected functional gallbladder disorder, and also address current evaluation and management of sphincter of Oddi dysfunction.
Cyst Assist: Pancreatic Cyst Evaluation & ManagementPatricia Raymond
This document provides an overview of pancreatic cyst evaluation and management. It discusses the prevalence of incidentally detected pancreatic cysts on imaging and categorizes cysts as benign, pseudocysts, or one of four subtypes of pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCNs): serous cystic tumors, mucinous cystic neoplasms, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms, and solid pseudopapillary neoplasms. For each PCN subtype, it describes characteristics such as patient demographics, location, risk of malignancy, and management guidelines. It also reviews guidelines for managing pseudocysts and outlines the endoscopic, percutaneous, and surgical drainage options with expected outcomes. In summary,
Kudos To You: Learning your Kudo Pit Patterns and Paris Polyp ClassificationsPatricia Raymond
We've told patients that we won't know about their polyps until after the pathology report is back; turns out that's not precisely true. Today's excellence in optics provides an accurate instantaneous assessment of the histology of colon polyps which may help in decision making during colonoscopy.

The document discusses the visual examination of the belly and navel from anatomical, historical, social, and medical perspectives. Anatomically, the navel is located at the midpoint of the body and develops from the umbilical cord that nourishes the fetus. Historically, many religions and cultures have ascribed spiritual or theological significance to the navel. Medically, examination of the navel can provide clues to intra-abdominal diseases and conditions. Variations in navel appearance like outies can occur normally or indicate issues like hernias.
Do You Believe in Reflux: Idiopathic Pulmonary FibrosisPatricia Raymond
Recent studies suggest that if you have IPF (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), that you may not perceive the GERD (reflux) that you have, and that this acid reflux may cause the fibrosis to progress. Ask for proper testing and treatment to see if you are one of the almost 80% of IPF patients who have reflux, often silent reflux.
This document summarizes key points from a presentation on restoring hospitality to hospital care. It emphasizes treating the whole person, not just the disease, and using a patient-centered approach. This involves greeting patients with courtesy, making them feel comfortable, clearly explaining their treatment plan, and finding ways to bring joy to difficult situations. The goal is to win by treating the person, not just curing the disease.
Hospitals have become unfriendly places for patients to be in…rushed, harried staff simply doesn’t have the time to provide the personal touch anymore…or can we? Delighted patients refer their friends and return for repeat procedures.
The ‘Spa Hospital’ addresses our patients’ needs with low or no cost techniques adapted from those used at spas. Attention will also be given to reception and departure from unit, patient privacy concerns, and their lasting impression with reviews of medical literature supporting these techniques.
Diverticulitis: Popular Misconceptions and New ManagementPatricia Raymond
Of course, it's not about just avoiding nuts and seeds. However, do you know how many attacks you can endure before suggesting a resection? How to manage young or immunosuppressed patients with diverticulitis? How Eastern (asian)diverticulitis differs? The role of mesalamine in treatment?

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Olive oil's health benefits The greatest exponent of monounsaturated fat is olive oil, and it is a prime component of the Mediterranean Diet. Olive oil is a natural juice which preserves the taste, aroma, vitamins and properties of the olive fruit. Olive oil is the only vegetable oil that can be consumed as it is - freshly pressed from the fruit. The beneficial health effects of olive oil are due to both its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and its high content of antioxidative substances. Studies have shown that olive oil offers protection against heart disease by controlling LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels while raising HDL (the "good" cholesterol) levels. (1-3) No other naturally produced oil has as large an amount of monounsaturated as olive oil -mainly oleic acid. Olive oil is very well tolerated by the stomach. In fact, olive oil's protective function has a beneficial effect on ulcers and gastritis. Olive oil activates the secretion of bile and pancreatic hormones much more naturally than prescribed drugs . Consequently, it lowers the incidence of gallstone formation . Olive oil and heart disease Studies have shown that people who consumed 25 milliliters (mL) - about 2 tablespoons - of virgin olive oil daily for 1 week showed less oxidation of LDL cholesterol and higher levels of antioxidant compounds, particularly phenols, in the blood.(4) But while all types of olive oil are sources of monounsaturated fat, EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil, from the first pressing of the olives, contains higher levels of antioxidants, particularly vitamin E and phenols, because it is less processed. Olive oil is clearly one of the good oils, one of the healing fats . Most people do quite well with it since it does not upset the critical omega 6 to omega 3 ratio and most of the fatty acids in olive oil are actually an omega-9 oil which is monounsaturated. Olive oil and colon cancer Spanish researchers suggest that including olive oil in your diet may also offer benefits in terms of colon cancer prevention (5). Their study results showed that rats fed diet supplemented with olive oil had a lower risk of colon cancer than those fed safflower oil-supplemented diets. In fact, the rats that received olive oil had colon cancer rates almost as low as those fed fish oil , which several studies have already linked to a reduction in colon cancer risk. Types of olive oil Generally, olive oil is extracted by pressing or crushing olives. Olive oil comes in different varieties, depending on the amount of processing involved. Varieties include: Extra virgin - considered the best, least processed, comprising the oil from the first pressing of the olives. Virgin - from the second pressing. Pure - undergoes some processing, such as filtering and refining. Extra light - undergoes considerable processing and only retains a very mild olive flavour. When buying olive oil you will want to obtain a high quality EXTRA VIRGIN oil. The oil that comes from the first "pressing" of the olive, is extracted without using heat (a cold press) or chemicals, and has no "off" flavors is awarded "extra virgin" status. The less the olive oil is handled, the closer to its natural state, the better the oil. If the olive oil meets all the criteria, it can be designated as "extra virgin". What is pure and light olive oil? "Pure" olive oil is made by adding a little extra virgin olive oil to refined olive oil. It is a lesser grade oil that is also labeled as just "olive oil" in the U.S. "Light" olive oil is a marketing concept and not a classification of olive oil grades. It is completely unregulated by any certification organizations and therefore has no real precedent to what its content should be. Sometimes, the olive oil is cut with other vegetable oils. How to care for your olive oil Resist the temptation to place your beautiful bottle of olive oil on the windowsill. Light and heat are the #1 enemy of oil. Keep olive oil in a cool and dark place, tightly sealed. Oxygen promotes rancidity. Olive oil is like other oils and can easily go rancid when exposed to air, light or high temperatures. There is a device called the PumpNseal which allows you to vacuum seal your olive oil in any jar, removing all the air. This makes it possible to store the olive oil without having its quality affected from air. You can find out more about the PumpNseal at http://www.vacusealit.com . You can of course buy extra virgin olive oil in any grocery store. One of my favorite sources on the internet for extra virgin olive oil and other more exotic foods is here . Olive oil versus canola oil Do not fall into the hype which is put out by traditional medicine regarding the promotion of canola oil (rapeseed) as superior due to its concentration of monounsaturated fatty acids. Olive oil is far superior and has been around for thousands of years. Canola oil is a relatively recent development and the original crops were unfit for human consumption due to their high content of a dangerous fatty acid called euric acid. If the taste of olive oil is a problem, or if you are frying or sautéing food, then you should consider coconut oil . Many nutritionally misinformed people would consider this unwise due to coconut oil's nearly exclusive content of saturated fat. However, this is just not the case. Because it has mostly saturated fat, it is much less dangerous to heat. The heat will not tend to cause the oil to transition into dangerous trans fatty acids . Antioxidants start to deteriorate right after bottleing. Store away from light, use w/in 2 months
Plato may have been wiser than he knew when he said, "Nothing more excellent or valuable than wine was ever granted by the Gods to man." Those of us who have come to enjoy the variety and tastes that wine have to offer can now look to red wines for greater health benefits. Recent studies show that drinking one glass of red wine every day may have certain health benefits. Research indicates that moderate red wine consumption may help protect against certain cancers and heart disease, and can have a positive effect on cholesterol levels and blood pressure . The French Paradox The French seem to know something about the health benefits of red wine. In a study that compared French and German red wines, the French red wines delivered a greater health benefit due to their higher level of antioxidants. This may partially account for the "French paradox," where studies show that in areas of France where the diet is high in fat those who drink red wine with meals have a lower incidence of heart attack than other parts of the world. Due to vast differences in diets, the evidence is inconclusive, but experts believe that red wine contains certain compounds that help protect the heart. This has opened the door for other researchers to study the components in red wine that may be responsible for its health benefits. What is Moderation? In the US, drinking in moderation means one glass for women, and one to two glasses for men. The definition of moderation is different in the United Kingdom and European Union, however. The "sensible limits" in the UK and EU are two to three glasses of red wine per day for women and three to four glasses for men. Moderation is Key The key to reaping the health benefits of red wine seems to be moderate consumption. Drinking one glass a day for women and up to two glasses a day for men may decrease the risk of heart disease, cancer and stroke. Excessive or binge drinking, however, doesn't produce the same benefits. In other words, when it comes to red wine: more is not better. Healing Powers of Antioxidants The compounds found in red wine that are responsible for its healing powers are antioxidants. Red wines contain several antioxidants beneficial to good health. Different antioxidants have different functions, but the key feature of all these antioxidants appears to be one of protection and prevention of disease.

EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate), an antioxidant component of green tea, can inhibit the build-up of plaque in the arteries. Unlike past studies, this study shows the impact not only in mice, but also the reason why past studies have failed to show the same benefits in humans. It turns out that, as with so many things in life, timing is everything, says cardiologist Kuang-Yuh Chyu, MD, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at UCLA School of Medicine and lead author of the study. He says that prior to this, animal studies that evaluated the effects of antioxidants on artery health generally started with young animals. Clinical trials with human beings, on the other hand, almost always enroll adult patients who already have arterial plaque disease. The purpose of this study, Dr. Chyu told me, was to find out what impact the antioxidant might have on newly forming plaque in the mice versus how it would affect plaque that already existed. (Study team members were able to make this distinction by manipulating how, when and where they induced plaque deposits in the mice.) The results were startling: The antioxidant inhibited the development of newly forming plaque deposits by up to 73%... however, when it came to the mature plaque, it had no effect at all.

More Study Needed on Salt's Health Risks A new analysis says more research is needed to demonstrate the toll a high sodium diet takes on the body over a lifetime. "A lifelong high-salt diet may expedite the stiffening of the arteries," argues Dr. Geza Simon of the Hypertension Clinic at the VA Medical Center in Minneapolis. Salt increases average levels of blood pressure, although some people have greater blood pressure responses to salt than others, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute says. Most Americans consume too much salt, according to the institute. It says people should take in less than 2.4 grams of sodium a day, or roughly 1 teaspoon of table salt a day.

According to research at Louisiana State University, published in the April issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition , the increased use of HFCS in the US mirrors the rapid increase in obesity. Where's the connection between HFCS and obesity? HFCS "hides" on product labels because it does not have to be identified as sugar. And with the low-carb craze rushing ahead at full throttle, the use of HFCS is only likely to increase. WHAT YOU CAN DO
