In an article written for Yahoo! Health, we learn that Breast Cancer is on the rise. Breast cancer is already the most common form of cancer. We’ll see 234,000 new cases of the disease diagnosed this year alone — but according to new data presented at the American Association for Cancer Research’s 2015 Annual Meeting, that number is only set to rise substantially in the years ahead. According to the research, breast cancer rates will increase by 50 percent by the year 2030, compared to stats analyzed from the year 2011 — a risk that’s especially potent in women over 70. Around 40 million women in the U.S., born between 1946 and 1964, will experience high absolute risks for postmenopausal breast cancer — or two to four percent risk over a decade-long span. Another 56 million women in their 20s and 30s will see a substantial risk of premenopausal cancer, around 0.4 Read the full article →
In an article written for The Wall Street Journal, we learn that American Women are having less Children. The percentage of U.S. women in their 30s and 40s who are childless is rising, new data from the U.S. Census Bureau show. Some 15.3 percent of U.S. women aged 40 to 44 were childless in June 2014, up from 15.1 percent in 2012. Changes in Census’s data processing likely affected its estimates for 2010 and 2012. But even before that, the trend was up: 9.6 percent of women in this age group were childless in 2010, up from 9.2 percent in 2008. For women in their late 30s, the rise in childlessness is sharper. Around 18.5 percent of women 35 to 39 were childless last June, up from 17.2 percent in 2012. All told, 47.6 percent of U.S. women aged 15 to 44 were without children last year, up from 46.5 Read the full article →
In an article written for Yahoo! Health by Maggie Puniewska, we learn what our mucus might be telling us. When it comes to smell, it’s no doubt that the nose knows—the fact that we’re able to identify more than 10,000 scents is quite an impressive feat. But your schnoz is more that just a scent powerhouse; it can also give you a glimpse at what’s happening in your body. Curious? Just take a peak into your tissue. The color and texture of your mucus can reveal if you’re on the brink of a cold or need to visit your doc for something a bit more serious, like fungal sinus infection. Ahead, the palette of your mucus, decoded. Clear Thin, see-through mucus means you’re healthy.

In an article written for the Associated Press, we learn that perhaps the 1800s proverb should have stayed in the 1800s. CHICAGO (AP) — An apple a day doesn’t necessarily keep the doctor away. That’s according to proverb-busting research that found daily apple eaters had just as many doctor visits as those who ate fewer or no apples. The findings don’t mean apples aren’t good for you but they do underscore that it takes more than just one kind of food to make a healthy diet and avoid illness. About one-third of the adults studied said they had no more than one doctor visit in the previous year; the remainder reported at least two visits. A preliminary analysis found apple eaters had slightly fewer visits than apple avoiders — those who ate less than one daily or no apples. But that difference disappeared when the researchers considered weight, race, education, Read the full article →
