"Elite Cyclists" Risk Infertility

Researchers found that sperm quality drops dramatically with rigorous training in professional cyclists. The Spanish study of top triathletes found those who cover more than 186 miles (300km) a week on their bikes have less than 4% normal looking sperm. Heat from wearing tight clothing, friction of the testes against the saddle, pressure on the prostate gland and stresses on the body from the sheer amounts of energy needed to do such rigorous exercise, all contribute to poor sperm quality. Antioxidants to counter these effects was suggested and modifying training regimes to aid recovery. To read more, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/8124458.stm

Could your iPhone be the most dangerous mobile phone yet?

Brain cancer recently surpassed leukemia as the number 1 cancer killer in children. Dr Charlie Tia, preeminent Australian neurosurgeon, believes a significant contributing factor in the exponential increase in pediatric brain tumors is excessive exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) and electromagnetic radiation (EMR) from mobile phones and other electrical and electronic equipment and appliances. iPhones seem to be the worst offenders because even when you’re not using your iPhone but have it on, it still operates as a base station, transmitting radiation to; you tend to use your iPhone more than other mobiles due to their amazing plethora of applications; data waves from iPhones affect your biology, altering intercellular communication.

Where does your Fish oil come from?

Most Australian Omega 3 oils come from farmed fish which is quite low in the active constituents EPA and DHA. In the Australian newspaper on 26th May 2009, it was reported that toxic agricultural chemicals have been detected in a Queensland hatchery that "has been plagued by dead and deformed fish". The chemical sprays come from the local macadamia farm. This is why it is essential to take only wild caught, molecularly distilled, sardine and anchovy Omega 3 oil that I prescribe, not commercial/retail fish oil.
