A creamy non-fat yogurt drink is now making name in the industry with the promising benefit of loaded protein.

Some years ago, Greek yogurt is an uncommon product in the market.

Susan Bowerman, assistant director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition said that Greek yogurt that is now super thick and creamy is now becoming highly popular because of added flavor and high protein content with lesser fats and no calories.

It is common with people in their teen years to have moderate pimples.  However, one in five of these tens have the tendency to have moderate to severe acne.

Dr. Jerry Tan, M.D., a dermatologist at the University of Western Ontario, in Canada stated that it is psychologically devastating for a teenager to experience bad acne in the times where self-image and confidence should be established.

Researchers are not sure however if acne medication, Isotretinoin and other drug medication may have taken role in the development of mental disturbances.

The lead author of the study, Dr. Jon A. Halvorsen, M.D., of the University of Oslo, in Norway said that Isotretinoin has been under controversies in the US before but the study focuses on the relationship between the occurrences of Acne and its mental burden rather than the side effect of Isotretinoin.

The study was funded by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health.

In this study, researcher surveyed 4000 teens aged 18 or 19 where 14% were reported to have moderate to severe acne.

Results revealed that 25 percent of those that have severe acne claimed to have suicidal thinking.

Results do not exclude Isotretinoin in the possible cause of depression but does associate severe acne with suicidal thoughts.

Suicide is the second leading cause of deaths among adolescents in the urban areas according to the background study of the research.

Men who have a certain genetic predisposition that may lead them to be at higher risk in having prostate cancer may benefit from a regular screening of the disease, according to the study on Thursday conducted by British scientists.

Moreover, the study stats that by trimming down the scope of screening prostate cancer to those men whose genes put them in a greater risk, doctors could detect if there is any signs of cancer, as well as cutting the potential expenses and harmful over diagnosis of the disease.

Ros Eeles, who spearheaded a team of researchers from Britain’s Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) and Royal Marsden hospital, stated that even though these are early outcome, it seems that the screening of the prostate cancer is logically precise at anticipating potentially destructive prostate cancer among men who are at higher risk of the disease because of a genetic variation.

The examination signified that the prognostic significance of having these men to be screened was 48 percent, way further than the 24 percent attained in screening a certain population. The study was stated as the number of cancers identified in relation to the number of tissue samples that were taken.

Moreover, this matter can lead to the too much diagnosis of the disease.

Furthermore, a study conducted in the United States last year discovered that standard screening of prostate cancer among men had resulted in over a million being identified with tumors that could otherwise have experienced on negative effects on them.
