Health and Food / Re: Dirty Facts About Bottled Water
January 20, 2012, 09:24:07 PM
by Cary McNeal

According to government and industry estimates, almost 40 percent of bottled water is ordinary tap water, often with no additional treatment. “Additional treatment” = changing out the lawn hose before filling a new batch. “FDA Should Adopt EPA Tap Water Health Goals for Bottled Water,” news release, Environmental Working Group, November 19, 2008, www.ewg.org.

Health and Food / Dirty Facts About Bottled Water
January 20, 2012, 09:22:29 PM
by Cary McNeal

While the results of tap water contamination tests are made public, manufacturers of bottled water do not divulge their test results. Chalk it up to the protection of trade secrets. Every brand of bottled water has its own proprietary blend of pathogens, contaminants, and waste that give the product its uniquely refreshing taste.

Bottled drinking water has been marketed as being cleaner and more pure than ordinary tap water, but, in a recent study, a third of bottled water showed significant chemical or bacterial contamination, including arsenic, nitrates, carcinogenic compounds, and coliform bacteria. Probably the bottom third; that kind of stuff tends to sink. “Bottled Water: Pure Drink or Pure Hype?” National Resources Defense Council, www.nrdc.org.

Philippine Business News / Overspeeding Bus in Bohol
January 20, 2012, 07:12:48 PM
by Rey Anthony H. Chiu

The Land Transportation Office in Bohol said bus companies may face sanctions such as cancellation of their franchise if they continue to ignore the law against overspeeding.

A concerned citizen has recently filed a complaint against overspeeding drivers to the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC)

PPOC member and Land Transportation Officer Joel Maloloy-on said that the complaints have sufficient basis based on the investigation that the agency has conducted. Bus units found to be overspeeding have been tagged, he said.

Among the bus companies that have been warned by the LTO were the City Transport and Super Five plying the Tagbilaran City-Tubigon-Tagbilaran City route. Its bus units have been found to be overspeeding along narrow highways, thus putting the lives of their passengers in peril.

At the PPOC meeting during the HEAT Caravan in Antequera the LTO said that it has already warned operators and threatened to suspend their franchises if they are found to have violated the speed limits.

LTO added that they have also issued similar warnings to Clynn and St. Jude Trans operators whose franchise areas are in other parts of Bohol.

Although it is the Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) that has direct authority to suspend or cancel land transportation franchises, the LTO has the recommending power that compels the LTFRB to act, sources said. (mbcn/rahc/PIA-Bohol)

Philippine Daily News / Fake Doctor Arrested
January 20, 2012, 02:11:24 PM

A faith healer is under investigation by the police and city health office (CHO) here due to complaints of malpractice of medicine lodged by his supposed patients.

Under investigation was a certain Angel Aquino, 43, of Barangay Wawa, Lingayen who was complained by his supposed patients of collecting large amount of money from them.

Upon receiving the complaint, personnel of the CHO headed by Dr. Isaias De Los Santos, along with the police, raided the house where the faith healer was allegedly treating his patients on January 18 and promptly arrested him.

The team was able to recover several syringes containing still undetermined substance which were allegedly being injected by the faith healer to women who allegedly wanted to become pregnant.

All these are set to be subjected to laboratory examination by the PNP Crime Laboratory.

Also recovered were two notebooks where the faith healer recorded the payments he received from his patients.

His supposed patients, namely Glenda Fernandez, 35, of Barangay Bulawen, Virginia Octit, 38, of Barangay Navato and Arlene Tandoc, 38, of Barangay Hacienda, all from the municipality of Bugallon, Pangasinan, were brought to the CHO for medical examination.

Struggling camera maker Kodak said on Wednesday night that it has filed for Chapter 11 reorganization.

The move, which had been expected, follows years of struggle by the film giant to transition to a digital imaging company. In recent months, the company has sought to capitalize on its patents and, in recent days, has sued Apple, HTC and Samsung.

On Jan. 12, Thai authorities arrested a man they say was a member of the Lebanon-based Shiite militant group Hezbollah who was plotting an attack in Bangkok. In uncovering the plot, Thai police cite cooperation with the United States and Israel going back to December 2011. Bangkok is indeed a target-rich environment with a history of terrorist attacks, but today Hezbollah and other militant and criminal groups rely on the city as more of a business hub than anything else. If Hezbollah or some other transnational militant group were to carry out an attack in the city, it would have to be for a compelling reason that outweighed the costs.

The suspect was identified as Atris Hussein, who was born in Lebanon but acquired Swedish citizenship and a passport after marrying a Swedish woman in 1996. Hussein was arrested on immigration charges as he was trying to board a plane at Suvarnabhumi airport, Bangkok's main international airport. Police said another suspect is still at large and possibly already out of the country. Hussein's arrest on Jan. 12 was followed by a statement the next day from the U.S. Embassy warning U.S. citizens in Bangkok of the potential foreign terrorist threat in the country and encouraging them to avoid tourist areas. Other countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and Israel, issued similar warnings. Thai police have responded by increasing security in tourist areas like Bangkok's Khao San Road and the island of Phuket.

Certified true copies of the Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net worth (SALNs) of Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice Renato Corona were presented on Wednesday to the Senate Impeachment Court by Malacanang Records Office Head Director Marianito Dimaandal, the prosecution's second witness.

Dimaandal confirmed the existence of the SALNs of Corona from 1992 up to 2010.

As custodial of the documents, Dimaandal said, the certified true copies of Corona's SALNs are the faithful reproduction of the file copies in the office.

When cross-examined by defense lead counsel retired SC Associate Justice Serafin Cuevas, Dimaandal told the Court that as to the accuracy and correctness of the entries in Corona's SALNs, he is not in a position to certify it.

He said that he came to the Court to produce the SALNs of Chief Justice Corona.

Dimaandal said that he has the duplicate-original copy of Corona's SALNs duly signed by him.

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, the Presiding Officer of the Impeachment Court, ordered the remaining witnesses of the prosecution to be present at 10 a.m. tomorrow (Thursday) for the markings of the pieces of evidence.  - PNA

Health and Food / Taking Thyroid Cancer Seriously

Taking thyroid cancer seriously

With the increasing incidence rate of thyroid cancer in Metro Cebu, the Eduardo J. Aboitiz Cancer Center (EJACC) of the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) urged the public to undergo early screening and prevention measures to fight the disease.

“Thyroid cancer is high on prognosis. It is preventable through various screening methods, such as physical examination and ultrasound of the neck, as well as some prevention measures, including regular exercise and maintenance of a well-balanced diet,” Ronald delos Reyes, EJACC program coordinator, said.

Based on EJACC’s Metro Cebu Population-based Cancer Registry, the incidence rate of thyroid cancer in 2003 to 2007 is high but the mortality rate is comparatively lower.

Within this period, about 573 cases of thyroid cancer were reported and 116 were recorded to have died of the disease. The figures also show that 97 cases have been attributed to persons in between the ages 15-30 while 350 cases are persons with ages 30-60. More women than men have been affected by this disease; in fact, 134 cases are male while 439 cases are female.

As a common type of cancer diagnosed in men and women, thyroid cancer ranked sixth in most common cancer cases in Metro Cebu.

According to the 2010 journal of the Philippine Cancer Facts and Estimates of the Philippine Cancer Society, the incidence rate had increased from 1980 to 2002, with an annual change of 0.4% in males and 1.6% among females.

Thyroid cancer is the most common cancer of women at ages 15-24 years. Among women, the incidence rate rises at age 30 and continues to rise with increasing age. Among men, the incidence rate begins to increase much later, starting at 60 years old.

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck just below the Adam’s apple. It works like a tiny factory that uses iodine, mostly from the diet in foods like seafood and salt, to produce thyroid hormones that, in turn, help regulate the body’s growth and metabolism and other functions of the body.

The most common signs and symptoms of thyroid cancer include a lump or thyroid nodule, that can be felt in the neck; trouble in swallowing; throat or neck pain; swollen lymph nodes in the neck; cough; and vocal changes.

People exposed to high levels of radiation are much more likely than others to develop papillary or follicular thyroid cancer. Treatment with x-rays is one significant source of radiation exposure. Between the 1920s and the 1950s, doctors used high-dose x-rays to treat children who had enlarged tonsils, acne, and other problems affecting the head and neck. Later, scientists found that some people who had received this kind of treatment developed thyroid cancer.

People who are diagnosed with this kind of cancer may undergo surgery. Common surgeries include thyroidectory, lobectomy, and tracheostomy. Sometimes, even the removal of the thyroid itself is needed.

“Like many other cancers, thyroid cancer may be more easily cured with early detection. Earlier diagnosis removes thyroid cancer at a time when they are not likely to have spread beyond the thyroid gland,” delos Reyes said.
