In 21 states in the US, people were more likely to meet an early death in 2016 than they were in 1990, according to the most comprehensive study of US health disparities to date.

Scientists discover new organ spanning the ENTIRE human body that acts as a built-in 'shock absorber' Humans have been studying the anatomy of our own bodies for thousands of years – but, to this day, scientists are still uncovering new secrets.
A team of researchers has identified what’s said to be a previously undiscovered organ, and may even be one of the largest in the body.
What was once thought to be dense, connective tissues running all throughout the body has now been found to be a network of fluid-filled compartments that may act as ‘shock absorbers.’
Not only could the finding reshape our understanding of the human body, but scientists say it could help to explain why cancer is more likely to spread when it invades certain areas.
Dubbed the ‘interstitium,’ interconnected compartments act like a ‘highway of moving fluid’ that sits beneath the top layer of the skin (as shown above), lines the digestive tract, lungs and urinary systems, and surrounds the arteries, veins, and the fascia between muscle
The NYU-led team says the newly discovered organ is found all over the body – but somehow, it hasn’t been identified until now.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5551189/Scientists-discover-new-organ-spanning-ENTIRE-human-body-acts-built-shock-absorber.html
Dubbed the ‘interstitium,’ interconnected compartments act like a ‘highway of moving fluid’ that sits beneath the top layer of the skin, lines the digestive tract, lungs and urinary systems, and surrounds the arteries, veins, and the fascia between muscle.
The human body contains huge amounts of fluid.
More than half of this is found within the cells, and another seventh inside the heart, blood vessels, lymph nodes, and lymph vessels. The rest is known as interstitial.
Now, researchers say the network that carries this interstitial fluid is its own distinct organ.
And, it may even be one of the largest organs in the body.

The research is at an early stage, but scientists from Queen’s University Belfast believe their findings could be used to vaccinate young men against getting prostate cancer.
7 Foods That Prevent Prostate Cancer Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men. According to the American Cancer Society, one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime, and the disease kills more than 32,000 Americans each year. Yet, hundreds of studies have shown that certain foods, such as tomatoes and fish, are powerful cancer-fighters.
Improve the odds of avoiding prostate cancer by adding generous helpings of the following foods to your anti-cancer diet:
1. Cruciferous vegetables
A study from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle found that men who ate three servings a week of cruciferous vegetables, which include cabbage and broccoli, lower their odds of developing prostate cancer by 41 percent. These veggies contain two powerful phytochemicals, glucosinolates and isothiocyanates, which are believed to neutralize cancer-causing substances.
Another study reported in the Journal of Biological Chemistry found that a compound in cruciferous vegetables called indole-3-carbinol, is converted by the body into DIM, a substance which blocks male hormones and keeps prostate cancer cells from growing.

More than half of Americans take at least one supplement on a regular basis, but they have no proven benefits for most healthy adults, and some carry serious risks, experts explain.

Both the typically oral and genital forms of herpes are common STDs that cause lesions which can leave people vulnerable to other infections, like HIV. New CDC data reveal that rates of herpes are finally falling

Teeth can already repair small problems on the outer layers of teeth. But two recent Kings College London studies show that treating the stem cells within the tooth pulp can trigger them to fix cavities
Researchers from the Spanish National Research Council in Madrid found antioxidants in wine significantly prevent bacteria that cause plaque and cavities from sticking to gums.

New drug could treat cold sores better than anything else on the market, scientists discover, after trying to cure eye herpes A new treatment could someday quickly clear up even the most aggressive herpes outbreaks, a new study reveals.
Scientists at the University of Illinois at Chicago discovered - quite by accident- a new treatment that effectively stopped infections of herpes 1, the same virus that causes cold sores, in the cornea.
Instead of attacking the virus itself, the medication keeps the virus from producing proteins that are key to the replication of herpes and the drug is advantageous because the virus may not become resistant to it.
The new treatment showed promise for treating herpes 1 in other locations and the researchers are ‘optimistic’ that it may be effective for genital herpes and perhaps even a broad set of viruses.
A new drug could be a revolution in treating not only ocular but oral and genital herpes

New research by Rutgers University has found fiber plays a far more active role than ever recorded in nurturing the gut bacteria that control blood sugars and fats.

The discovery, by scientists at King's College London, could allow doctors to mimic the body's method of regulating blood pressure, such as by stimulating the nerves with enzymes.

Researchers from the Icahn School of Medicine, New York, found that even before cancer is diagnosed breakaway cancer cells head off to infiltrate other bodily organs.
