Popular Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin Supports Study that Frying Foods in Certain Oils has No Negative Health Effects

The Doctors Health Press, a publisher of various natural health newsletters books and reports, including the popular online Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, is lending its support to a study showing that fried foods may not be bad for the heart, depending on which type of oil is used.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) February 05, 2012

As reported in the Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin on Monday, January 30, 2012 (http://www.doctorshealthpress.com/food-and-nutrition-articles/is-there-such-a-thing-as-healthy-fried-foods), Spanish researchers have determined that cooking in olive or sunflower oil is not linked to heart disease or premature death.

Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin reports that, for their study, the researchers examined the cooking habits and health of nearly 41,000 adults, aged 29 to 69. None of the participants had heart disease at the start of the study, which lasted 11 years. The participants were divided into four groups depending on how much fried food they consumed.

The researchers found that there were 606 heart-disease-related events and 1,134 deaths during the study follow-up period, Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin. They found no association between the large amounts of fried foods eaten and the risk of heart disease or death.

According to Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, in Spain, olive and sunflower oil are used for cooking, so the researchers’ results are based on these preferences. They caution that results taken in other countries may differ if the same types of oil are not used. Food fried in a solid oil like butter and/or re-used oils such as those commonly found in fast food restaurants have a different effect on the nutritional value of a particular food. This is because the food will absorb more oil and increase the calories of the food. It is also true that frying in saturated fat is less healthy than using monounsaturated fats like olive oil.

Doctors Health Press Supports Study Showing That Diabetes Could Boost the Risk of Hearing Loss

The Doctors Health Press, a publisher of various natural health newsletters, books and reports, including the popular online Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, is lending its support to a new study showing that diabetes, if not controlled well, boosts the risk of hearing loss.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) February 04, 2012

As reported in the Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin on Wednesday, February 1, 2012 (http://www.doctorshealthpress.com/diabetes-articles/how-diabetes-could-rob-you-of-your-hearing), when examining women between 60 and 75 years of age, researchers found that those with well-controlled diabetes had better hearing than women with poorly controlled diabetes. They also found far worse hearing in women younger than 60 who have diabetes.

The Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin article reports that this study wanted to see about hearing differences among patients with well-controlled diabetes and poorly controlled diabetes, and those who do not have diabetes. They looked at records for 990 patients between 2000 and 2008. Patients were categorized by gender, age, and whether they had diabetes. For what may be the first time, they studied blood glucose levels and compared them to levels of hearing loss.

Women between 60 and 75 with poorly controlled diabetes had significantly worse hearing than those whose diabetes was well-controlled and the control group. Women under 60 with diabetes, reports Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, had worse hearing than healthy controls regardless of how well their condition was controlled.

According to Doctors Health Press e-Bulletin, about 26 million Americans have diabetes. Another 34.5 million have some degree of hearing loss. Signs of hearing loss include difficulty hearing background noises or hearing conversations in large groups, as well as regularly needing to turn up the volume on a radio or TV.
