One in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. A man is 33% more likely to get prostate cancer than a woman is to get breast cancer. Prostate cancer is a scourge—it attacks millions of men as they age. Last year, 232,000 men received a prostate cancer diagnosis, and the disease took the lives of some 30,000 men, including the famous—Law & Order’s Jerry Orbach, Citigroup’s Walter Wriston, legendary guitarist Johnny Ramone—as well as everyday loved ones—someone’s father, son, brother, friend. The prostate is no bigger than a walnut, yet it plays a key role in the male reproductive system. Located in a hard-to-reach place between the penis and the bladder, it is unusually susceptible to cancer.

Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods.

  • The Truth About Fat: the Latest Update February 24Th 2016 Cathy Mazanec, MPH, RDN, CSSD, LDN
    The Truth about Fat: The Latest Update February 24th 2016 Cathy Mazanec, MPH, RDN, CSSD, LDN I recently attended a Fat Summit hosted by Integrative and Functional Medicine physician, Mark Hyman, MD, Director of the Center for Functional Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Hyman invited some of the most prestigious U.S. researchers to join this online Summit to share their individual research data. This academic bench of researchers and thought leaders was deep, some of whom included: Ronald Krause, MD; Daniel Amen, MD; Jeffrey Bland, PhD; Michael Roizen, MD; Chris Kresser, MS, LAc; Walter Willett, MD; David Perlmutter, MD; Dean Ornish, MD. I was so excited to finally hear the latest update about dietary fats and end the great fat debate once and for all. What a long awaited relief this would be…… This could not have been further from the truth!! Consistent with the pattern I’ve seen over my 37 year career, nutrition research from highly respected scholars often conflicts. The reason for this is each researcher is looking at a different piece of the same puzzle. In this case, the effect of a certain dietary fat on one piece of the puzzle may be very different from the effect that fat has on another piece of the puzzle. Hence, each researcher may have a different viewpoint and recommendation about the dietary fat being studied. So a lot of questions still remain unanswered but some information is very clear. Here's a snippet of the latest research regarding dietary fat and what we need to know ……….

  • The FTC Vs. POM Wonderful
    Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative University of New Mexico http://danielsethics.mgt.unm.edu Debate The FTC vs. POM Wonderful ISSUE: Does the Federal Trade Commission’s verdict on POM Wonderful’s advertising protect consumers or limit the company’s First Amendment rights? POM Wonderful, owned by philanthropists Lynda and Stewart Resnick, sells products made from pomegranate juice. Their product lines include juice, juice blends, teas, concentrates and extracts. Its most popular product is its POM 100% Juice. The company has marketed pomegranate juice for its high antioxidants, vitamin K, and potassium. Pomegranate juice has become popular among consumers who desire to improve their health. However, in 2010 the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruled that POM Wonderful used deceptive advertising. Among its marketing claims, POM Wonderful maintained that pomegranate juice lowers the risks of heart disease, erectile dysfunction, and prostate cancer. POM advertisements with claims such as “Amaze Your Cardiologist” and “Drink to Prostate Health” were placed in Parade, Fitness, and Fitness magazines; The New York Times; on price tags; and on the websites pomwonderful.com, pompills.com, and pomegranatetruth.com. The problem, according to the FTC, was that these claims were not substantiated. The FTC maintains that POM Wonderful based its claims on faulty evidence the company distorted and that was eventually refuted. POM Wonderful was found guilty of violating the Federal Trade Commission Act by making deceptive claims in 36 advertisements and promotions. The FTC accused POM of making unsubstantiated efficacy claims—or suggesting that the product works as advertised—as well as establishment claims—claims that a product’s benefits and superiority have been scientifically established.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 7, 2019 CONTACT: DeAnn Lubell-Ames – (760) 831-3090 Note: Photos available at http://mccallumtheatre.com/index.php/media Marilyn McCoo And Billy Davis Jr.: Up, Up And Away McCallum Theatre Saturday – January 11 – 8:00pm Palm Desert, CA – The McCallum Theatre welcomes pop-soul greats Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr., who will be performing their Up, Up and Away show on Saturday, January 11, at 8:00pm. McCoo and Davis—who celebrated 50 years of marriage earlier this year—are the original lead singers of the legendary pop/R&B vocal group The 5th Dimension, producing iconic songs such as “Up, Up and Away,” “Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In,” “Worst That Could Happen,” “Stoned Soul Picnic,” “Sweet Blindness,” “Wedding Bell Blues” and “One Less Bell to Answer.” They left The 5th Dimension to strike out on their own—and they found instant success. In 1976, their album I Hope We Get to Love in Time topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and single “You Don’t Have to be a Star (to Be in My Show)” went to No. 1 and was honored with the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance. In 1977, they hosted their own TV series on CBS. Marilyn McCoo later hosted the 1980s music countdown series Solid Gold. She’s also acted in numerous TV series and films. She made her mark on Broadway, most notably playing Julie in the revival of Showboat. Billy Davis went on to a successful gospel music career. He has also been featured on TV and film; McCoo and Davis had recurring roles together as parents on The Jamie Foxx Show.
