Are Preemies more likely to Develop Autism

Researchers have long seen signs of autism in children born prematurely, and some studies have suggested that such signs can develop into full-blown autism in childhood. A study now suggests that complications during pregnancy and early life may be responsible for this risk. The study, by researchers from the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, published in Pediatrics, found that children born at 31 weeks of pregnancy or earlier were about 1.5 times as likely to develop autism. Those born at 32 to 36 weeks carried 1.3 times the risk.

Breast feeding may not Alter older Kids’ Health

Exclusive breast feeding for up to 6 months , though beneficial for an infants’ immunity and mothers’ weight, may not alter children’s health risks over the long term. A research from the Montreal children’s hospital in Quebec published in the American Journal of clinical Nutrition hint that long term advantages for children exclusively breast fed for 6 instead of 3 months” do not include lower risks of obesity, asthma, allergy, or dental caries”.

Avoid Red Meat

It has been well documented that women show eat a great deal of well done red meat are far more prone to breast cancer. This happens because high temperature cooking produces chemicals called heterocyclic amines (HCA) that induce carcinogens. High temperature cooking occurs when the meat is fried, grilled for broiled. It will be better to choose between stewing, boiling, roasting and baking. And it is best to simply avoid reed meat for reduce intake to not over thrice a week. Other measures like trimming excess fat will also reduce HCA formation. Remember to trim the burnt parts when the meat is cooked tandoori style., as it has been exposed to high temperatures Micro waving for marinating the meat as the initial step of cooking can help reduce the need for high temperature cooking. Cutting the into smaller pieces and flipping often while grilling will also reduce the risk of carcinogen formation.

Want to quit? Don’t go for light Cigarettes

Smokers who switch to a low tar light or mild brand of cigarette will no t find it easier to quit and in fact may find it harder. in fact, those who traded to light cigarettes were 50% less likely to kick the habit, reported the researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in the journal Tobacco Control, Other research has shown that so called low tar cigarettes have just as much tar, nicotine and other compounds as regular cigarettes.

Red, processed Meats linked to Prostate Cancer

Men who eat a lot of red meat and processed meats may have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer, found researchers at the US National Cancer Institute. The findings, reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology, suggest that processed red meats and high heat cooking methods grilling and barbecuing may be particularly connected t prostate cancer risk.

Avoid Alcohol

There is a great deal of scientific evidence that provides a clear link between alcohol intake and breast cancer. Data establishes that the risk of breast cancer goes up by 25 per cent in women who consume more than one drink per day. This finding is supported by the Harvard Nurses’ Health Study and dozens of other studies which have looked at large population groups over several years. Particularly susceptible are women genetically predisposed to cancer. Binge drinking is definitely harmful a high levels of alcohol seem to help cancer cells to proliferate. It is worth noting that even a single episode of intoxication and bringing is harmful.
