Health Notes
Women, here are symptoms of ovarian cysts.

Men, here are some symptoms of low testosterone.

Um, this is kind of important: at least one treatment for prostate cancer might cause a man’s penis to get shorter. No joke, really.

Women, eating trans fats might lead to infertility.

And nursing mothers should probably try to get enough calcium in their diet to avoid bone loss around their teeth.

Here is an article about too much body fat and inflammation. Bottom line: neither is good for you, regardless of your weight.

Apparently older obese adults can benefit from changing their lifestyle, i.e. exercise and cut calories.

There are some people in North America who really have to worry about mercury pollution. You know, somehow I don’t think that’s in the spirit of the American Dream.

Apparently women are more likely to survive lung cancer than men are.
