What is Lactose Intolerance?

1/25/2023

Lactose intolerance is when your body cannot break down or digest lactose, some sugar in milk, and milk products. It occurs when the small intestine does not produce enough of a digestive enzyme, called lactase, that breaks down the lactose in food so that the body may absorb it. People who are lactose intolerant can have unpleasant symptoms after consuming milk or milk products. These symptoms can include bloating, diarrhea, and gas.

Harmful Chemical In Soda
By Pierre Mouchette | Bits-n-Pieces

Most people understand that soda contains sweeteners and carbonation. However, they may not be aware of some soft drink ingredients that can harm the body's nervous system, such as brominated vegetable oil (BVO), a food additive (banned in Europe but allowed in the U.S.). BVO is one of several harmful food additives not adequately regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

FYI: Drinks with citrus flavoring are more likely to contain BVO. In adding weight to the flavoring mixture, BVO, made by bonding vegetable oil to bromine, allows it to combine with the sweetened water to keep the flavors from separating.

Children’s Sweets Contain Additives That Are Unsafe For Consumption
By Pierre Mouchette | Bits-n-Pieces

There are thousands of sweet treats marketed to children containing titanium dioxide, an additive European food safety regulators say is unsafe for human consumption. However, the U.S. has not reassessed the potential threat of titanium dioxide in more than 50 years. Titanium dioxide is used in many popular candies and other processed foods to give a smooth texture or to work as a white colorant. The pigment can brighten colors, making the food more vibrant and appealing, but the additive has no nutritional benefit.

Is There A Cancer-Causing Chemical In Your Bread?
By Pierre Mouchette | Bits-n-Pieces

Many packaged baked goods have flour that may contain potassium bromate, an additive linked to cancer. The chemical is added to flour to strengthen the dough and allow it to rise higher, benefits that have led many U.S. companies to embrace it. This additive is widespread and legal in the U.S., even though other countries have banned it due to health concerns.

The U.S. food industry has long argued that potassium bromate is not a concern in baked products. In theory, baking fully converts it into potassium bromide, a similar yet non-carcinogenic chemical.

In lab tests, animals exposed to it had increased incidences of benign and malignant tumors in the thyroid and peritoneum, the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity. The latest research finds that ingesting potassium bromate significantly increases cancer of the animals’ thyroid, kidneys, and other organs.

DO YOU HAVE A MEDICATION LIST?

People of all ages depend on their doctors to prescribe medications to keep them as healthy and active as possible. However, responsible medication use goes beyond just filling a prescription and taking it as instructed.

Maintaining a list of doctors' prescribed medications is challenging for most people. There are many reasons for this, including a lack of integration of patient health records, physician and nurse workflows, and a lack of knowledge about the medications. Other causes include patients’ changing their medications frequently, using undocumented over-the-counter medications, and consulting more than one physician.

For Emergencies - In an emergency, the first thing First Responders do is look for your identification. Having this PML information readily available could save your life.

Not Just For Emergencies - Keeping an accurate medication list is not just in case of emergencies. You should bring a copy of your medication list whenever you visit a physician. It is especially essential when you see a physician for the first time, as it will be most helpful in clearing up any possible confusion, especially for older patients with cognitive decline.

Note: Many people overlook some medications prescribed by their physicians when creating the list. The drugs commonly overlooked include herbal medicines, patches, eye drops, inhalers, and birth control pills. It is crucial that you have these medications in your medication record. Moreover, it would be best to list each drug's brand name, generic name, frequency of use, and strength.
