That point was driven home last month when, in one issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, several studies revealed new-found harms.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1138&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fracture prevention is focussed on bone density, but other factors like bone quality and muscle strength are also important, according to a recent commentary by two Toronto physicians for the Journal of the American Medical Association. They advocate a broader view of osteoporosis prevention but first, here is an historical context for this disease that has become a major health concern for women.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1130&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An increased incidence of hip fracture is associated with long-term use of the top-selling heartburn drugs like Nexium, Prevacid, and Prilosec. People on high doses of these prescription drugs called proton pump inhibitors (PPI) were the most likely to experience a hip fracture if they stayed on them for more than a year. This finding was published at the end of 2006 in the Journal of the American Medical Association.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1056&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Postmenopausal hormones have been promoted to women (and doctors) for nearly four decades with promises of everything from youthful skin to increased longevity. The currently popular indications-prevention of heart attack and hip fracture-are not supported by good research. Two large trials, which randomly assigned women to take hormones or not, have failed to confirm estrogen's heart protective effects. And while many randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have proven estrogen's ability to stop the loss of bone density, none lasted long enough to show that this hormone actually prevents fractures.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=277&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
