Bone Density And Dieting: Consumers
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Slick weight loss advertisements have people believing that a quick fix is better than a slow and steady success; far too few encourage regular exercise with speedy caloric reduction, which ultimately places the dieter at great risk for the loss of bone density. According to a study done in 2005 and published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, people who seek weight loss by calorie reduction alone have been found to lose bone density as compared with those who ate a balanced diet and exercised away the weight. What this clearly illustrates is how the properties of calories go much further than creating energy and putting on the pounds; rather, they are instrumental in maintaining bone stability that helps to ward of osteoarthritis.

Breast Cancer and Hormone Replacement Therapy
[ send me this paper ]
This 20 page
report discusses the fact that postmenopausal estrogen
replacement therapy (ERT) has been repeatedly linked with breast
cancer. Some studies show no increased risk for breast cancer.
Others suggest there may be a slight increased risk, while still
others say that there is an increased risk, but that it is
minimal and occurs only after ten or more years of use. Numerous
research efforts that have shown that estrogen use is clearly
connected to an increased risk of uterine, endometrial, and
breast cancers. However, such factors must be weighed against
the fact that estrogen significantly reduces a woman's chances of
developing osteoporosis and can act as a defender against
cardiovascular disease. Bibliography lists 16 sources.
