Will Any Good Come From This?

Pesticides in tap water have been linked to food allergies

. Researchers at the American College of Allergies, Asthma and Immunology discovered people with more dichlorophenols in their urine were much likelier to have food allergies. Dichlorophenols are a type of chlorine put in some pesticides to kill bacteria. It's thought dichlorophenols also kill the good bacteria in the human digestive system, causing food allergies. Unfortunately, drinking bottled water isn't a sure fix. These pesticide chemicals are in fruits, fruit juices and any foods made with cocoa powder. Fighting against dichlorophenols may become the new cause for chocoholics.

There is a link between diabetes and dementia. A Japanese study followed 1,017 men and women for 15 years. All were 60 or over when the study started and all were screened for diabetes and prediabetes. Twenty-seven percent of those with diabetes developed dementia compared to 20% of the participants without diabetes. Also, 25% of those with prediabetes developed dementia. Diabetes could be connected to dementia because it contributes to vascular disease, which disrupts oxygen flow to the brain. Considering 105 million Americans had diabetes or prediabetes in 2012, controlling blood sugar requires serious "sweet talk" with one's doctor.

Stress and depression may be linked to stroke. A study published in the journal Stroke tracked 4,120 people - average age 77 - for 10 years using interviews and hospital records. During the study there were 151 deaths from strokes and 452 hospitalizations from strokes. By using standardized scales of psychosocial distress, researchers determined participants with the most stress, depression, negative outlook and general dissatisfaction were 3 times likelier to die from a stroke and 54% likelier to be hospitalized because of stroke than those with the least distress. Often the difference between stroke death and hospitalization is a "stroke of luck".

A simple sitting test may predict longevity. A study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology followed 2002 adults aged 51-80 for approximately 6.3 years. Initially they were asked to sit on the floor and get up using the least amount of bodily support. A perfect score was 10, but a point was deducted for each body part leaned on getting down or up. Scorers of 0-3 were 6.5 times likelier to die during the study than those scoring 8-10. Scorers of 3.5-5.5 were 3.8 times likelier and scorers of 6-7.4 were 1.8 times likelier. This gives new meaning to "sit in judgment".
