cancer, but in reality, heart disease is the top killer of American women, claiming 300,000 lives a year — 7.5 times the number that die of breast cancer, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although heart disease is more often perceived as a men’s issue, since 1984 more women have died of heart disease than men. Part of the reason may be that women’s heart attacks can differ from men’s and the American Heart Association (AHA) warns that women often fail to recognize the symptoms, ranging from torso aches and pains and nausea to anxiety, shortness of breath, dizziness and extreme fatigue. They may experience subtle symptoms for months and write them off as byproducts of menopause, heartburn or effects of aging. The National Institutes of Health states that 43 percent of women that have heart attacks experience no chest pain. The difference between the more subtle signs of a heart

attack in women and the more dramatic signs in men may help explain why 75 percent of men, prompted to act quickly, survive a fi rst heart attack, while only 62 percent of women do, according to the AHA. “Research shows that women may not be diagnosed or treated as aggressively as men,” notes the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, part of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services.
Zinc Orchestrates Immune Response M
any have heard that zinc can stop a cold in its tracks, and new research from
Ohio State University tells us why; it turns out that zinc gently taps the brakes on immune responses, slowing them down and preventing infl ammation from spiraling out of control. The researchers’ work with human cells and animals found that zinc serves to balance the immune response within the cells so that the consequences of insuffi cient zinc at the time of an infection include excessive infl ammation. Of all the zinc contained in our bodies, only about 10 percent of it is readily accessible to help fi ght off an infection, notes Daren Knoell, professor of pharmacy and internal medicine and lead author of the study, published in Cell Reports. The research team suggests that proper zinc balance is especially important in battling serious and potentially deadly infections. Zinc defi ciency affects about 2 billion people worldwide, including an estimated 40 percent of the U.S. elderly.
