Rheumatoid Arthritis – A Double Edged Sword
December 9, 2015
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes progressive pain, inflammation and eventual destruction of the joints.
The hallmark feature of this condition is long term inflammation of joints that is mirrored on the opposite joint. It affects the hands, wrists  and feet, though any joint lined by a synovial membrane may be involved.
Early diagnosis is key and by implementing supplementation, changes in lifestyle and the environment, RA’s impact can be lessened.

Is Milk Linked to Fractures and Mortality?
November 11, 2014
The British Medical Journal has released a study that examined whether high cows milk consumption is associated with mortality and fractures in both women and men
Researchers contended that because of the high content of d- galactose and lactose in cows milk, that high consumption of milk may increase oxidative stress and inflammation, which in turn affects the risk of mortality and fracture.
However intake of fermented milk products such as yoghurt, soured milk and cheese were associated with lower rates of fracture and mortality.
