 Emotional Stress Linked to Premature AgingBy Sheryl Walters, November 18 2008
(NewsTarget) Stress is everywhere. Simply living in the modern world is incredibly stressful. We generally work hard and there is so much pressure to keep going until exhaustion. A significant amount of people are also under incredible emotional stress.
There is a lot of evidence to suggest that emotional stress is perhaps the single greatest aging factor. We have all seen how quickly presidents age after four years (of fighting unnecessary wars, for example). This is because stress damages the...
 Drug to Protect Surgery Patients Causes Strokes By Sherry Baker, November 17 2008
(NewsTarget) Beta-blockers, also called beta-adrenergic blocking agents, comprise a class of drugs used to treat high blood pressure, heart rhythm disorders and migraines. By blocking the effects of the hormone adrenaline in the body, they slow the heart beat and lower blood pressure.

But new research published...

 Cancer Drugs Make Tumors GrowBy Sherry Baker, November 17 2008
(NewsTarget) Drugs like Avastin that are used to treat some cancers are supposed to work by blocking a vessel growth-promoting protein called vascular endothelial growth factor, or VEGF. With VEGF held in check, researchers have assumed tumors wouldn't generate blood vessels and that should keep malignancies from growing. In a sense, the cancerous growths would be "starved". But new research just published in the journal Nature shows this isn't true. Instead of weakening blood vessels so they won't...

 Washington is Powerless to Stop the Coming Economic DepressionBy Barbara L. Minton, November 14 2008
(NewsTarget) The U.S. is in the grip of fear. People are so worried about the collapse of the economy that they've stopped going to the mall, and they're cutting every expense they can think of to save money for the hard times ahead.

Investors have been selling their stocks and converting what's left of their retirement accounts to cash that can be horded in a safe....
