Different types of cabbage (red, green and Savoy) contain different patterns of glucosinolates, which suggests you should try to eat a variety of cabbage for the best health effects. Its variety is another one of cabbage's pluses - it comes in hundreds of different types and is incredibly versatile. Eaten raw, cabbage is a mainstay of cole slaw and other summer salads. It's also one of the most popular base vegetables for creating your own homemade sauerkraut.
Cooked lightly and quickly, cabbage also makes an excellent side dish to virtually any protein source and can be seasoned in a number of different ways depending on the type of cuisine. You may be tempted to rely on your local grocery store for cabbage, but growing your own is so much more rewarding, both in terms of freshness and flavor. What's more, growing cabbage is incredibly easy, and if you time your planting right you can expect to harvest it during the summer as well as the late cold-weather season.

But was he wrong? Not at all, according to social scientists and neuroscientists. There are differences in the brains of men and women that influence their behaviors and career choices. On this episode of the Health and Wellness Show we explored these differences, discuss how this issue sent certain members of society into a frenzy, and try to answer the question as to why stating the obvious is now considered blasphemy.
And stay tuned for Zoya's Pet Health Segment where the topic will be marker training for dogs.

A number of studies have linked high-sugar diets to a higher risk of depression. Most recently, men consuming more than 67 grams of sugar per day were found to be 23 percent more likely to develop anxiety or depression over the course of five years compared to those whose sugar consumption was less than 40 grams per day.1,2,3
This held true even after accounting for other contributing factors, such as socioeconomic status, exercise, alcohol use, smoking, other eating habits, body weight and general physical health. As noted by lead author Anika Knüppel,4 a Ph.D. student at the Institute of Epidemiology and Public Health at University College London: 5
"Sweet food has been found to induce positive feelings in the short-term. People experiencing low mood may eat sugary foods in the hope of alleviating negative feelings. Our study suggests a high intake of sugary foods is more likely to have the opposite effect on mental health in the long-term."

Madison Gulliver was on a family break when she had a henna tattoo
The floral pattern stretched from her fingers on her right hand, all the way up her arm to her elbow.
But less than a few hours after having the tattoo she complained of the design being itchy, and it quickly erupted into painful, bright red blisters.
The youngster was rushed to hospital where she had to have the chemical burns cut away in a specialist unit, leaving her with nasty scars along her arm.

- 24.4 million people have cataracts
- 2.7 million have glaucoma
- 4.2 million suffer impaired vision
- 4.88 million suffer dry eye
The medical term for dry eye is keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Left untreated, the condition may lead to serious damage to your eyes. In the past, dry eye was treated by adding moisture, such as normal saline. Today, there is a better understanding of the complexity of some of the substances in your tears and how they function in your eye.3
Even though the decision to not vaccinate is growing among those who read the vaccine inserts and familiarize themselves with the potential side effects, doctors want all children forcibly injected because they make more money if their patients vaccinate. It's not a secret that the vaccine manufacturers dumped big money into California lawmakers pockets just before mandating all children get all the recommended vaccines. But safety and health come second to a pocket full of money.
"We want everyone vaccinated and caught up with the CDC schedule by age of 2," said Dr. Thomas Connolly, a pediatrician with the Carithers Pediatric Group. Connolly said he strongly encourages all of his patients to get vaccinated. "It's nothing personal against you as a person, I respect your decision that is your decision, but my medical decision and my background and my belief is I want the child vaccinated to maximize their defense," Connolly said. In other words, he wants to make sure you pump your child with known toxins so he can continue to make money.

Researchers at the Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute gathered two groups of rats for the study. One group had an average age of 22 months - which is considered aged in the rat world - and the other had an average age of just four months.
Before beginning the study, they measured the heart function of all the rats, both young and old.
The researchers then injected a type of stem cell known as cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) into some of the older rats.
Other elderly rats received a placebo treatment which consisted of saline injections instead of stem cells.
A month after receiving treatment, the heart functions of the group of older rats which received CDC cells were tested a second time.
A man wearing a respiratory protection mask walks toward an office building during the smog after a red alert was issued for heavy air pollution in Beijing's central business district, China, December 21, 2016.
Dr. Haidong Kan of Fudan University in Shanghai, China, and colleagues looked specifically at the health effects of particulate matter (PM), small particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter, from industrial sources, that can be inhaled and become lodged in the lungs. While PM levels have gone down in North America in recent years, they are on the rise worldwide.
"This research adds new evidence on how exposure to PM could affect our bodies, which may (ultimately) lead to higher cardiovascular risk," Dr. Kan told Reuters Health in an email interview. "Our result may indicate that particulate matter could affect the human body in more ways than we currently know. Thus, it is increasingly necessary for people to understand the importance of reducing their PM exposure."
Comment: Air pollution is contributing to the premature deaths of some 3.3 million people around the world every year. It has been associated with increased risks of cardiovascular diseases, respiratory illnesses, and cancer, among numerous other health issues:
- Study shows how killer nanoparticles in air pollution cause heart disease
- Toxic magnetic nanoparticles from air pollution have been found in human brains
- Air pollution associated with risk of lung cancer, faster death
- Poor sleep and the link to air pollution
- Air pollution may play role in mental health disorders
- Researchers link air pollution to premature births
