Side Effects of Eating a Medium Chain Triglyceride Diet

April 25th, 2009 by admin

Most studies that have been conducted on both animals and human beings show that MCT’s are relatively safe when a total dietary fat content level of 50% is consumed. Some of the side effects reported when medium chain triglycerides were given on an empty stomach were mild stomach cramps and occasional bloating. The advice given from researchers was to take your triglyceride supplements with food. Study findings are not conclusive on the safeness for women who are pregnant, mothers who are currently nursing as well as children and people with serious kidney or liver problems who choose to partake in a medium chain triglyceride diet.

3 Different Types of Bone Cancer

April 24th, 2009 by admin

Bone cancer comes in three primary forms. Primary cancer means that the cancer itself originated in the bone versus secondary cancer in which a cancer from another part of the body has spread to the bone. The three primary types of bone cancer are Osteosarcoma, Ewing’s Sarcoma and Chondrosarcoma. Bone cancer of any type is frequently found in Caucasian males. Females and those of Asian or African-American ethnicity are in the minority with a bone cancer diagnosis. Osteosarcoma is a cancer that begins inside the tissue of a maturing bone. Ewing’s Sarcoma is another form of bone cancer that affects children and young adults. This is a highly malignant tumor that originates inside of bone marrow. Chondrosarcoma is the only type of bone cancer that does not generally affect a younger generation, but rather those who are over the age of fifty years old. This cancer develops in the cartilage of a bone.

When Do You Know?

April 15th, 2009 by admin

I always thought that having a few drinks after work was fine!  However, now that I have worked in my own business, for almost ten years now, I realize that I have an Alcohol Addiction!  Not sure where to turn, I decided to surf the Internet for services in my area that could help.  I am sure glad that I did!  They made me see that I was headed down the wrong path, not even knowing it!  My sales were down, and so was my energy.  I wasn’t even aware of it until my first or second session.  I learned that most of the time you don’t know without help!

What is the Point of VAP Cholesterol Testing?

April 12th, 2009 by admin

Regular testing of your cholesterol levels should begin around the age of 20 years old. There are many reasons why a person would wish to have their cholesterol checked. Going a step further than a regular cholesterol blood test and requesting the VAP cholesterol testing will enable your doctor to test for any emerging risk factors that are not normally detected in regular cholesterol screenings. The Vertical auto profile test is fairly comparable, price wise, to standard cholesterol tests (just slightly more expensive) and is generally reimbursable through your insurance company. If you feel that you may be at risk for heart disease, do not wait any longer. Visit your physician and request a VAP screening to ease your mind.
