All Types of Alcohol Linked to Breast Cancer Risk
A recent study by Kaiser Permanente Researchers has found that the effects of alcohol on breast cancer are the same, regardless of whether a woman drinks wine, beer, or liquor. The ethyl alcohol found in those drinks and the quantity consumed are the factors that weigh heavily on breast cancer risk. Researchers believe the increased risk from three or more drinks a day is similar to the increased breast cancer risk from smoking a pack of cigarettes a day or more. They claim that "Population studies have consistently linked drinking alcohol to an increased risk of female breast cancer, but until now there has been little data, most of it conflicting, about an independant role played by the choice of beverage type."

Health Wrap for December 2006 | Cardiology, Cancer, Asthma, Trans-fat
There is a new warning for people with pacemakers and implantable cardioverter defibrillators: Magnets may pose a serious health risk!
While common magnets for home and office use with low magnetic strength posed little risk, stronger magnets made from neodymium-iron-boron may cause interference with cardiac devices and pose potential hazards to patients.
These magnets are increasingly being used in homes and office products, toys, jewelry and even clothing.
The authors say physicians should caution patients about the risks associated with these magnets and they also recommend that the product packaging include information on the potential risks that may be associated with these types of magnets.

Over time, the stresses of our lives and the constant wear of the sun and gravity go to work on the skin of our whole bodies but perhaps most notably in the face. Fine lines and wrinkles as well as folds near the corners of the mouth and nose start to show up, and it makes the skin look older and less supple. A facelift, or rhytidectomy, is a surgery that can help restore that look of youthful tightness and vivacity. At Premier Plastic Surgery Group in Houston, Texas, your face lift procedure will be performed by an expert facial surgeon like Dr. Reginald Buford or Dr. Garry Killyon.
