Using hair color may increase the risk of cancer

Results
Researches found a 19% increased risk of lymphoma among people who color their hair.
The increased risk was 26% among those who used color 12 or more times a year.
Based on the finding, researchers calculate that 10% of lymphomas in women could be due to the use of hair color.

Using hair color may increase the risk of a type of cancer Known as lymphoma, a European study shows. “Our data suggest that personal use of hair color is associated with a small increase in lymphoma risk, particularly among women who started using hair coloring products before 1980,” Dr Silvia de Sanjose of the Catalan Institute of Onchology in Barcelona and colleagues write in the July 1 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology.
Past research has suggested a link between coloring ones hair and lymphoma risk, de Sanjose and her team note. They sought to investigate the association by analyzing results from a large study of lymphoma patients and matched healthy controls, including a total of 4,719 people from six European countries. About three quarters of women reported using hair color, while 7% of men did. The researchers found an overall 19 % increased risk of lymphoma among people who reported coloring their hair. The increase risk was 26% among those who used hair color 12 or more times a year.
People who began coloring their hair before 1980 showed a 37% increased lymphoma risk, while those who had only colored their hair before 1980, but not afterwards, showed a 62% increased risk.
Based on the findings, de Sanjose and her team calculate that roughly 10% of lymphomas in women could be due to the use of hair color.
From 1978 to 1982, the researchers note, the ingredients of certain types of color were changed to eliminate some potentially cancer causing agents. But it is not clear whether the newer colors are risk free. Clearly, more research is needed, they conclude.

Diabetes cause heart to ‘age’ by 15 years

High risk
People with diabetes fell into high risk category for cardiovascular disease (CVD) 15 years earlier than those without the condition.

Be careful
You can reduce your own risk of developing diabetes by maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly and controlling your diet.

A person with diabetes is at risk of developing cardiovascular disease 15 years earlier than those without the condition, the result of the new study indicate.

Adults with diabetes have long been known to be at an increased risk of heart disease. A team of researchers at the Canadian Institute for Clinical Evaluation Sciences set out to examine the age at which people with diabetes develop a high risk of cardiovascular disease.

They identified all adults living in Ontario in 1994 with diabetes (almost 380,000) and all of those without the condition (over nine million). Individuals were than followed up in 2000, to see if they had developed any signs of cardiovascular disease.

The study found that a person with diabetes moves to the high risk category (for heart disease) around 15 years earlier than a person without diabetes.

In fact, men with diabetes were found to move to the high risk heart category at the age of 41, while women are considered high risk at the age of 47. In the general population, this move to the high risk category usually happens around 15 years later.

The study also found that young adults aged 20 to 39; with diabetes have 12 to 40 time’s higher rates of coronary heart disease, compared to young adults who do not have diabetes.

Middle aged and older individuals with diabetes appear, on average, to be at high risk for cardiovascular disease, thus aggressive risk eradication strategies are warranted in this group of patients. However for diabetes patients who are under 40, our data suggests that risk reduction efforts should be individualized to the patients specific needs, based on their risk profile”, said lead researcher, Dr Gillian Booth.

10 Things you should know were ageing you

1. Drinking through a straw: It can cause the same skin damage as repeatedly sucking on a cigarette. Pursing the skin over and over can bring on wrinkles.

2. Skipping your regular optician appointment: Not getting your eyes tested regularly is one of the earliest shortcuts to crow’s feet. You should get your eyes tested every one to two years or sooner if you think your vision has changed.

3. Exercising too much: Excessive exercise (more than 4 hours of stamina training a week) can damage cells, destroy muscle tissue and lead to osteoporosis. Running a marathon every week could give you sagging breasts and the joints of an old woman.

4. Wearing contact lenses: Or not taking care when you put contact lenses in. If you are not sure how to insert or remove contact lenses, ask your optician. Putting them in requires light pressure, but if you are pulling at the skin around your eye daily, it starts to sag.

5. Wearing the wrong foundation: Swapping your foundation can help you ditch the decades. Look for a product that has a transparency and with peachy tones to brighten the skin. Use a primer beforehand and a brush to work foundation into the skin.

6. Not getting enough sleep: Regularly getting less than six or seven hours sleep is very ageing. It increases your risk of heart attack. It weakens your immune system. It causes you to release less serotonin and leaves you craving fatty foods, which may explain why sleep deprived people are likely to be overweight.

7. Getting too much sleep: Getting more than eight hours sleep a night on a regular basis can be equally ageing. A study by scientists at the University of California found people who sleep for more than eight hours every night are more likely to die younger.

8. Always sleeping on the same side: If you always sleep on the same side, one side of your face is constantly subjected to pressure and can become prematurely lined. Sleeping on your back with the head elevated, does wonders to prevent puffy eyes and a wrinkled face.

9. Wearing eyeliner: Pulling at your eyelid to draw a line across it will stretch the skin and can cause wrinkles. Instead, lift the skin gently upwards at the temple as this is far less damaging.

10. Not wearing sun glasses: Not protecting your eyes from the rays of the sun is a recipe for wrinkles. Look for UV400 marked glasses. The big, fashionable sunglasses are great as they protect the eyes and skin.

The claim: Artificial sweeteners cause migraines

The facts: Artificial sweeteners have been linked in anecdotal reports to a variety of health problems for more than 30 years. But one of the more mysterious reported side effects is also among the most commonly mentioned, headaches. Migraine sufferers are often known to steer clear of sweeteners, if only to be on the safe side, and there is no shortage of medical websites spreading the claim. But according to various studies, anecdotal evidence does not exactly hold up. Since the 1980s, about half dozen studies have examined the link, and majorities have discounted it. Most of those studies looked specifically at aspartame, found in diet soda and consumed by millions.

The bottom line: Despite widespread anecdotal reports, most studies have not found an association between artificial sweeteners and headaches.
