		<description><![CDATA[People who drink very hot tea increase their chance of developing cancer of the esophagus, the muscular tube through which food passes from the throat to the stomach.  This is the finding of a new study conducted in one province of northern Iran where people are known to drink large amounts of very hot tea because the water supply is unsafe.  It is not the black tea they are drinking but its <em>temperature </em>that accounts for their high incidence of esophageal cancer. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=2116&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three weight loss diets were compared over the course of two years in a newly published clinical trial conducted in Israel. The “winners” are the Mediterranean and the Atkins diet. People on one of these two diets lost more weight than the people on the low-fat diet long recommended by the American Heart Association and many physicians.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1156&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For cardiovascular and other health benefits like increased longevity, you need only exercise moderately for 30 minutes at least five days a week. That has been the recommendation for nearly 15 years, and it has decades of high-quality research to back it up. In an attempt to refine things further, a team of researchers asked the questions: Can this exercise recommendation be cut back further and still produce health benefits? Will 45 minutes five days of the week provide even more?<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1133&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sinusitis sends millions of adults and children to the doctor each year. And many receive inappropriate treatment. Though studies show that viruses are by far the most frequent cause of a sinus infection, U.S. physicians reported that they prescribed antibiotics in 82% of visits nationwide for this condition. Despite contradictory results from studies exploring the efficacy of inhaled nasal corticosteroids, these drugs are also prescribed frequently.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1120&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
