Diabetic Diets – Which is best??

Paleo? Low-Carb? High Fiber? Low Glycemic Index? Vegan? Mediterranean? Ketogenic? Like most Americans, we find commitment hard. But, on any given day, for any given meal, we might dabble with any of the choices above.

How much salt to eat

How much salt to eat

Experts argue about how much salt we need, and how much salt we tolerate. Salt intake recommendations haven't been refined enough by the medical profession to give guidance to individual groups: females verses men, young verses old. Perhaps 2300 mg daily is ok, but perhaps we should only be getting 1500 per day, according to Dr. Thomas Farley who heads public health for the city of New York.

Hemlines change, but should medical advice fit flop?

We all expect hemlines to rise and fall, and last year’s fashion foible to be this year’s hip take on the best dressed list. But doctor’s advice: we just don’t expect the 180 degree change of advice from check up to check up! What was once prohibited may now be advised and we just do not expect last year’s good advice to be told the complete opposite that it is now thought of as bad advice. Nor do us gynos feel like we can always trust the advice of the day. Sometimes the new

Correcting this common problem is more likely to prevent uterine cancer

Classically it has been taught that estrogen excess, particularly what has been known as 'unopposed estrogen' (or hormone therapy with estrogen alone) is the cause of uterine cancer. The theory that estrogen causes uterine cancer is being challenged. Inflammation, either in the body or in the uterus itself is now thought to be the more likely cause and a simpler strategy for reducing that cause would be to reduce inflammation.
