USING CELLPHONES DOESN’T INCREASE BRAIN CANCER RISK A study of more than 250,000 cellphone users found that heavy, long- term use of the mobile devices does not increase the risk for brain tumors. The study, published in Environmental International, aimed to determine if the radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation emitted by cellphones increased cancer risk. Participants
the liver, particularly in cases where mice lack the GDH enzyme, which detoxifies ammonium before it can cause damage. Excess ammonium can also cause neurological disorders and even lead to coma. A blood test can assess GDH levels.
CELLPHONE STATISTICS:
from five countries answered a questionnaire that detailed their cellphone use. Those who started using a mobile phone more than 15 years before answering the questionnaire did not have a higher risk of developing brain tumors than those who had used a mobile phone for a shorter length of time.
PALEOLITHIC DIETS HAVE DRAWBACKS High-protein Paleolithic diets, also known as a Paleo or caveman diet based on what humans would have eaten during the Paleolithic era, are effective in regulating weight and stabilizing diabetes. However, researchers at the
University of Geneva found the diet is not without risks. Using mouse models, they found that excess protein greatly increases the production of ammonium. The additional ammonium can overwhelm

ASPIRIN LOWERS COLORECTAL CANCER IN THOSE MOST AT RISK A 30-year study led by Mass General Brigham of 107,655 men and women compared the colorectal cancer rates of those who took aspirin regularly with those who did not. Regular aspirin use was defined as two or more standard dose (325 mg) tablets per week or daily low-dose (81 mg) aspirin. Those with the unhealthiest
lifestyles (including smoking, obesity, and low physical activity) had a 3.4% chance of being diagnosed with colorectal cancer if they did not take regular aspirin and a 2.12% chance of getting colorectal cancer if they took aspirin regularly. The rates of colorectal cancer were similar for those with the healthiest lifestyles whether they took aspirin or not.
‘WEEKEND WARRIORS’ MAY GAIN PROTECTION AGAINST 264 DISEASES A study from Massachusetts General Hospital found that people who exercised mostly on the weekends — “weekend warriors” — reduced their

risk for developing 264 diseases. For the study, 89,573 people wore wrist accelerometers that recorded their physical activity. Weekend exercise was as effective at reducing health risks as the same amount of activity distributed throughout the week. Associations were strongest for cardiometabolic conditions such as hypertension (23% and 28% lower risks over six years with weekend warrior and regular exercise, respectively) and diabetes (43% and 46% lower risks, respectively). “There is no medical
therapy more effective for the most common medical illnesses, including heart disease, than exercise,” said David Brownstein, M.D., author of the newsletter Dr. David Brownstein’s Natural Way to Health. “This study proves that even if you can’t exercise daily, making time on the weekends
will provide marked health benefits.”
COVID-19 VACCINES LOWER ODDS OF HEART ATTACKS AND STROKES A study published in Nature Communications, involving nearly the entire adult population of England, found that the incidence of heart attacks and strokes was lower after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine than before vaccination or no vaccination. The incidence of arterial thrombosis, such as heart attacks and strokes, was up to 10% lower in the 13 to 24 weeks after the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
People who exercised mostly on the weekends reduced their risk for developing 264 diseases.
