Smoking tied to one type of skin cancer
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Smoking may not only cause wrinkles and sagging skin, it might also increase your risk of one type of skin cancer, researchers suggest in a new report.
While squamous and basal cell carcinomas are the most common skin cancer, melanoma is the deadliest, accounting for nearly 9,000 of the 12,000 or so skin cancer deaths each year in the U.S., according to the American Cancer Society.

Hepatitis B vaccine protects for 25 years: study
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Vaccination against hepatitis B seems to protect against the virus for 25 years, suggesting booster shots are unnecessary, according to a new study from Taiwan.
Under the Taiwanese program, infants born to infected mothers also get a shot of a protein to fight against the virus known as an antibody within 24 hours of birth, but this did not completely eliminate the spread of the virus from mother to child.

Eating disorders are common in older women, study shows.
Having a higher BMI, body mass index, was associated with more disordered eating, increased body dissatisfaction, dieting behaviors, preoccupation with food and a drive for thinness, the authors write.
"They're not concerned about how they look in the mirror and they get past that number on the scale,'' she says. "They are concerned with healthy eating, getting enough exercise and being happy. We need to get more women headed in that direction."

Girl, 9, drinks double cream and pours olive oil over all her meals as part of the high-fat diet she needs to stay alive
Amy Paterson, nine, from Falkirk, has a rare, incurable genetic condition, which means her brain can't receive enough nourishment from a normal diet. As a result she must consume three times as much fat as her friends and drink as much olive oil in one meal as an adult would consume in a day.
We kept saying something wasn’t right. Amy suffered her first seizure when she was eight weeks old and then when she was three months old I was feeding her baby food and she had another one, so we knew it had to be something relating to food
Amy was finally diagnosed at the age of seven following a lumbar puncture at Yorkhill Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow. The condition, which is caused by a faulty gene passed down from one of her parents, means Amy can’t transport glucose into her brain efficiently, leaving her starved of energy. Since her diagnosis and high-fat diet Amy has not suffered a single seizure.
Amy Paterson has a diet rich in double cream and fat and is pictured with some of her usual daily fare
