OVIDEO, FL, October 29, 2012 (Press-News.org) Established science that is founded on decades of study, trials and testing by the CDC, FDA and other health officials around the world clearly states that inhaling combusted organic material deep into the lungs is the root cause of most smoking related illness and disease. This fact does not set well with special interest groups that are heavily funded by major pharmaceutical companies.
Anti-Smoking groups like Live Tobacco Free Austin oppose electronic cigarettes based on the use of the ingredients in them, stating that they do not know what is contained in them while using the same ingredients in the e cig to make anti-smoking commercials.
"They want to ignore science so that they can forward their agendas and play the part of hypocrites by using the same ingredients they openly oppose," states Tiffany Ellis of Firelight Fusion. "Electronic cigarettes are an alternative to tobacco just as Amberen is an alternative to other menopause products on the market, giving consumers choices on how they want to live and self-evaluate risks outside of heavily lobbied industries."
While some choices may be more clearly seen that others on the market, science has made an astounding mark in the pro e cigarette market with decades of peer reviews science while anti-smoking groups attempt to spin modern science to fit their goals and ideology.

Gladstone, Stanford scientists block toxic protein that plays key role in Lou Gehrig's disease
2012-10-28
SAN FRANCISCO, CA—October 28, 2012— Scientists at the Gladstone Institutes and the Stanford University School of Medicine have discovered how modifying a gene halts the toxic buildup of a protein found in nerve cells. These findings point to a potential new tactic for treating a variety of neurodegenerative conditions, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig's disease)—a fatal disease for which there is no cure.
The Gladstone and Stanford scientists began their experiments independently before realizing that combining their efforts could strengthen ...
Multifocal/multicentric breast cancer connected to a patient's risk of local recurrence
2012-10-28
BOSTON, MA (October 28, 2012)—Not all women diagnosed with operable breast cancer present with a single tumor; some have multifocal disease appear in the breast, which means multiple tumors found in the same breast quadrant, while others have multicentric disease, where multiple tumors are found in separate breast quadrants. Multifocal or multicentric disease is not a standard indication to receive radiation after mastectomy. For patients who undergo lumpectomy, radiation dose and extent is not altered based on multifocal or multicentric disease compared to patients presenting ...
Drop in testosterone tied to prostate cancer recurrence
2012-10-28
BOSTON, MA (October 28, 2012)—Men whose testosterone drops following radiation therapy for prostate cancer are more likely to experience a change in PSA levels that signals their cancer has returned, according to new research from Fox Chase Cancer Center. The findings will be presented on October 29 at the American Society for Radiation Oncology's 54th Annual Meeting.
Specifically, men whose testosterone fell following various forms of radiation therapy were more likely to experience an increase in prostate-specific antigen (PSA)—often the first indication the cancer ...
Age tied to spread of rectal cancer to lymph nodes
2012-10-28
BOSTON, MA (October 28, 2012)—Rectal cancer is more likely to spread to the lymph nodes in younger patients, according to new findings that Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers will be presenting on October 29 at the American Society for Radiation Oncology's 54th Annual Meeting. The results—which are the first of their kind—suggest that doctors should search for spreading more aggressively in these patients.
Once rectal cancer has spread to the lymph nodes, it is more likely to return to the pelvis following surgery. Administering chemotherapy and radiation before surgery ...
Routine electrocardiograms predict health risks for patients with atrial fibrillation
2012-10-28
Canadian scientists have determined that routine electrocardiogram (ECG) results for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) — the most common form of irregular heart beat — can help doctors identify those at higher risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes, including death. This knowledge will help doctors improve the treatment and prognosis of atrial fibrillation.
Through a retrospective analysis of thousands of patient files, researchers at the Montreal Heart Institute and the University of Calgary learned that a routine 12-lead surface ECG — in which 12 different electrical ...
Canadian scientists discover cause of high cholesterol
2012-10-28
Canadian scientists have discovered that a protein called resistin, secreted by fat tissue, causes high levels of "bad" cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL), increasing the risk of heart disease.
The research, presented today at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress, proves that resistin increases the production of LDL in human liver cells and also degrades LDL receptors in the liver. As a result, the liver is less able to clear "bad" cholesterol from the body. Resistin accelerates the accumulation of LDL in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.
The ...
Influenza vaccine may reduce risk of heart disease and death

Dr. Jacob Udell, a cardiologist at Women's College Hospital and the University of Toronto, and his team from the TIMI Study Group and Network for Innovation in Clinical Research looked at published clinical ...
