((Children with a family history of diabetes, drinking lots of milk may cause them to develop the disease. Researchers in the Journal of Diabetes say if a youngster has a brother or sister with Type 1 diabetes, that's the kind that requires insulin shots, he or she may be more genetically prone to develop diabetes and drinking milk may be the trigger. They found children who drank 3 or more glasses of milk every day were 5 times more likely to develop diabetes than kids who drank less milk.
A new study from Duke University shows people who need heart by-pass do much better when surgeons use a newer technique, one where they operate on the heart when it's still beating. It's really a tough surgery trying to sew new blood vessels onto a beating heart. The way we usually do it is to stop the heart and put the patient on what's called an artificial heart/lung machine, then do the sewing. But the study finds recovery using this newer technique is a lot easier on the patient who usually recovers up to 5 times more quickly than with the conventional technique and there's also fewer complications.
Finally, if you have high blood pressure and you're under a lot of stress, go easy on the coffee. A study in the Journal of Hyper Tension says stress alone can cause a jump in the numbers, but add caffeine to that mix and that jump can be 15 to 20 points.
