EVERYDAY HEROES: Posted by Sarah Hull – “I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer that was cutting off my airway at 20 weeks of pregnancy. I will never forget when the first doctor, an oncologist, mentioned abortion. We had gone thru years of infertility to get pregnant. I knew I would rather die and give birth.
“Then I met with another doctor who listed all of the problems the baby would have if I did not terminate. I stood my ground and refused. He said, ‘That is ok. The baby will probably spontaneously abort anyway.’
“I searched and found good doctors that supported me, and I gave birth to a healthy baby at 34 weeks.
I will be celebrating 10 years cancer free in May. I have a healthy, beautiful, bright, precious 10 year old daughter who is a living reminder that doctors do not know everything”
GREAT MINDS: Mama Buzz included this in a set of photos from their trip to D.C. When I asked what it was about, she replied, “Lol! That was my parking spot. I forgot to delete the picture. I’ve gotten in the habit of doing that in parking garages or other unfamiliar parking places.” What a great idea!!

SCIENCE: A study entitled “High- and Low-Fat Dairy Consumption and Long-Term Risk of Dementia Evidence From a 25-Year Prospective Cohort Study” has been published in this month’s edition of Neurology. It reports that those of the 27,670 participants who regularly consumed 50 grams per day or more of high-fat cheese daily – roughly a third of a cup – or cream per day had a lower risk of developing dementia.
However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to Alzheimer’s prevention. The study also showed that the 15-20% of people who carry at least one copy of a genetic variant known as APOE ε4 genetic variant, got no benefit from high fat dairy intake.
