WIC hits record high
More people are working at jobs that are paying less and local health department officials say that is one reason why enrollment in the Women Infants and Children (WIC) program has hit an all-time high.
Auglaize County enrollment in WIC this year is higher than ever before, with approximately 900 people enrolled in the program. The federal nutrition education program provides nutritious supplemental foods to pregnant and postpartum women, breast feeding mothers, infants and children under 5. Each year, enrollment seems to steadily increase, Auglaize County Health Department Director Charlotte Parsons said.
In May, there were 826 WIC enrollees, including 392 children, 245 infants and 120 pregnant women, but enrollment is already higher this month, with more than a week left in June.
Sensitive skin needs to be clothed in daily care
Sensitive skin knows no age or skin type, and skin can be sensitive either all of the time or just on occasion. You may get red, irritated, dry or itchy, and this can be caused by a skin-care product, the environment or stress, as well as genetics. If you have sensitive skin, look for products that are fragrance-free and dermatologist-tested. And if you're not sure if your skin is sensitive, ask yourself these questions: .
B Vitamins and Folate Don't Sharpen Older Minds
DUNEDIN, New Zealand, June 28 — A combination of folate and B vitamins failed to improve cognition in older people at increased risk for dementia, according to a study here. After two years of taking the vitamins, participants performed no better on a range of cognitive tests than a placebo group, said C. Murray Skeaff, Ph.D., of the University of Otago here, in the June 29 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. The participants all had elevated levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that has been linked to risk for heart disease, dementia, and poor cognitive performance. Previous research suggested that individuals with homocysteine concentrations of 14 µmol/L or greater have twice the risk for dementia, the investigators noted. Participants in the current study averaged about 16 µmol/L, but were otherwise healthy and did not have dementia or cognitive impairment.
Crackdown Wanted On Lasers Used To Quit Smoking
Smokers who pay hundreds of dollars to be zapped by lasers purported to help them quit are victims of fraud, a watchdog group alleged Thursday in seeking a federal crackdown.Public Citizen petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to halt five companies from promoting low-power laser therapy for smoking cessation. The companies do not have FDA clearance to market the lasers for that purpose, nor is there any scientific evidence they are safe or effective, said Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group."There is a prohibition on any kind of marketing or advertising for any unapproved uses of an FDA-regulated product," Wolfe said. "It's just a massive fraud."The FDA will evaluate the petition, spokeswoman Susan Cruzan said. The FDA has cleared the so-called biostimulation lasers or laser acupuncture devices to be marketed only to help provide temporary pain relief, according to its Web site.Freedom Laser Therapy Inc., singled out in the petition as the most prominent of the five companies, charges smokers as much as $349 for a 30-minute laser "acupuncture" session and kit with vitamins, booklet and video.FDA regulations do allow the therapy to be used in investigational clinical trials or studies -- exactly what Freedom Laser Therapy said it is carrying out at its two locations, in Santa Monica, Calif.
