The Geography Of Unintended Pregnancy (INFOGRAPHIC)

each year are unplanned, according to a new state-level analysis by the Guttmacher Institute. The unintended pregnancy rate is a standout in the industrialized world , and has remained nearly flat since the 1980s despite advances in birth control technology and availability. Women with incomes at or below the federal poverty line are five times more likely than those at the highest income levels to become pregnant by accident and unintended pregnancies have become increasingly clustered among the poor in recent years. Most of the births resulting from unplanned pregnancies are publicly funded , and they aren’t cheap .

Study Sees No Link Between Drinking During Early Pregnancy and Birth Woes

One quarter said they had engaged in low alcohol consumption, meaning three to seven units a week, while just over 10 percent said they had engaged in moderate consumption — eight to 14 units a week. Five percent reported drinking heavily — more than 14 units a week. At the extreme end, more than one-third of the women said they had consumed six or more units of alcohol in one session in the three months before becoming pregnant — a practice defined as binge drinking. And nearly a quarter of those women said they’d binged during the first 15 weeks of their pregnancy. After comparing the mothers’ drinking histories with the status of their babies at birth, the study authors concluded that drinking both pre-pregnancy and during the first 15 weeks of pregnancy did not seem to increase the risk that a baby would be born prematurely, low in birth weight or small for gestational age — regardless of the amount of alcohol consumed.

10 common nutrition myths debunked

Navigating your way to good nutrition can be daunting. And along the way, it is common to stumble upon nutrition myths that are believable and much more exciting than the truth. According toAnn Whitaker, manager of nutrition and clinical patient education for Kaiser Permanente of Georgia, The best approach to nutrition and health is a balanced diet, ample sleep and regular exercise. This is truly the best course to follow. Whitaker, one of the instructors for the total health nutrition series offered to participants of the Kaiser Permanente Corporate Run/Walk & Fitness Program, says her list of common nutrition myths was pulled from real-life conversations over the years that she and her Kaiser Permanente colleagues in nutrition had with Kaiser Permanente members. #1 Carbs make you fat Myth debunked: Lower carb eaters tend to lose weight faster but they are the first to regain the weight that was lost. #2 Eating extra protein builds muscle Myth debunked: Adding too much protein to your diet adds stress on your kidneys and too many calories from any source can lead to weight gain and not necessarily muscle gain.

Hormone Therapy Linked to Higher Breast Cancer Death Risk

VIDEO: Breastfeeding May Prevent Breast Cancer

Rowan Chlebowski, professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and lead author of the study. Women in the study who used estrogen and progestin for five-and-a-half years — which is considered long-term use of the therapy — were at higher risk of getting breast cancer, said Chlebowksi. Earlier results of this trial indicated a connection between synthetic hormone therapy — commonly marketed as as the drug Prempro — and less aggressive forms of breast cancer . But results now suggest that women who took hormones may be at risk of any, including more aggressive and late-stage, forms of breast cancer. null “For women currently on HRT, I think it warrants a significant talk with their physician as to whether they warrant the therapy,” said Dr.
