Consumer Updates > You Can Help Cut Acrylamide in Your Diet:

Avoid Summer Sunburn

I'm on my way out the door for a weekend of fun in the wine country. Some food, wine, and lots of sun. 

I never used to use much suntan lotion or sunblock, and my nose and cheeks are starting to show it. I just went shopping for some products and picked up some SPF 70. OMG. They even make an SPF 100 now! 

Anyhow, here's something that caught my eye last season, for those of you at risk of a worse sunburn: It is Summer - These things will make your sunburn worse! Have fun this weekend!

Mayo Clinic study suggests those who have chronic pain may need to assess vitamin D status

- - -  original blog post follows below  - - -

Mayo Clinic research shows a correlation between inadequate vitamin D levels and the amount of narcotic medication taken by patients who have chronic pain. This study found that patients who required narcotic pain medication, and who also had inadequate levels of vitamin D, were taking much higher doses of pain medication -- nearly twice as much -- as those who had adequate levels. Similarly, these patients self-reported worse physical functioning and worse overall health perception. "This is an important finding as we continue to investigate the causes of chronic pain," says Michael Turner, M.D., a physical medicine and rehabilitation physician at Mayo Clinic and lead author of the study.

Watch this short video of Dr. Turner as he describes his findings about vitamin D and chronic pain. Tip: you might need to scroll down the page to the video.

Court Says MMR Vaccine Not A Cause of Autism (video)

A special court's recent ruling that no proven link exists between autism and certain early childhood vaccines seems to have done little to change the sometimes-passionate opinion fueling the debate. The panel of "special masters" ruled that these petitioners had not presented sufficient evidence to prove that the childhood vaccines (specifically the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine containing thimerosal, a mercury-based preservative) caused autism in their children. Learn more about this court ruling in this ABC News Video report, WATCH: Ruling on Autism and Vaccines.
