A can of Coke could soon look like a pack of Marlboros, if one Bronx lawmaker has his way.
Assemblyman Jeff Dinowitz has introduced the “Sugar-Sweetened Beverages Safety Warning Act” — which would require tobacco-style health- warning labels on all sugary drinks, such a cola, iced tea and energy drinks.
The labels would read: “SAFETY WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar contributes to obesity, diabetes and tooth decay.”

I ran while carrying scissors.
My youngest sister has Ichen Planus, 3 types of skin lesions, oral and vaginal. NO cure. And Predisone not very helpful. She is going total organic in an effort to control it. As some of the lesions can turn to cancer.
Main causes are Hep B and Flu shot or dirty needles and unprotected sex. She has been married a couple of decades so that is not the cause, she does not do drugs, SO the most likely suspect is the Flu shot as they are mandatory for her in her profession.
My granddaughter’s Gardasil gave her RA and you can see the swelling in her joints. She is 16, by 20 will be in a wheelchair.
I face the fact I will need a OP drug as the Vit/Min route only allowed it to get worse. I REFUSE any but a daily I can pitch. When researching them Evista has HRT issues...Already been through all those side effect riddled drugs. Foreto can interfere with you Synthroid uptake.
And EVERY one hits another health issue their DA*N pills caused. Every one has GI side effects. I’m trying to ween off the PPI’s as the are a bone density causing drug. Been on them 30 yrs thanks to HRT and Estrogen’s plus other meds that cause GERD. I’m in a no win situation. My risk of hip fracture is 60% with the same rate of dying If I do break a hip. With Medicare mandating that bone density test be done every 2 yrs, it ties the doctors hands in the way they treat for OP.
I’ve been reacting to drugs since my 30’s. They just get worse and more frequent and they all cause a new life time health issue.

I’m on Medicare and was unaware of this mandate.Is this something new?

...not more govt is what is needed...
I had no health problems and was doing really well for a 41 year old until this fall. My blood pressure was normal, blood tests for cholesterol were great, all things were good. I got a flu shot-was expecting and my OB convinced me of the need. Found out 10 minutes later that our baby had already died in the womb. I don’t know if it was the stress of losing another baby (it was about half way through the pregnancy), the D&C that followed, or the flu shot but my blood pressure has been really high from that point forward. My heart is often racing and pounding. I went from no problems exercising on the elliptical to having my heart feel like it is pounding out of my chest. After 5 minutes at a slow pace my heart rate is 179 beats per minute. I have other issues that are new to me as well.
I have a physical scheduled in a few weeks as I am very concerned about the recent and fairly dramatic changes that started less than 4 months ago. I know there will be no answers regarding the flu shot and heart issues from an MD, but want to make sure about what is really going on.
I'm sitting here on my arse because Obama thought it was a great idea to cleanse out the DoD of anti-terrorism and counterterrorist analyst...I trained and succeeded in achieving everything I need for cyber warfare - but, due to cuts - I'm waiting for my final clearance...and yet, cyber attacks grow and $100's of millions of dollars wasted...and this freak goes out golfing...
govt has one job - protection of the nation - all else through our capitalistic endeavors will sort themselves out in the free market. Unions and corrupt politicians with their new anchor enablers have ruined what was a great nation... I've seen enough waste in Iraq in my years there - makes me sick...and now, trying to protect and adhere to an oath I gave over a decade ago is hard...
I hope the US citizen has learned a hard lesson on who to vote for from this point on - and takes the initiative to teach their children the history of the US - the up's and downs - no matter how embarrassing - and what other nations have gone through...this Tweeting and Facebook crap is waste of time and energy...and while the world slips by...evil rises...not me - not my family...
ok - I'm done with my rant....but I think most Freepers agree that limited or "not more govt." is what they stand behind...
Do your own research. Do not trust the medical profession to tell you the truth.
Losing a child will effect the body. I’ve lost 2. Not to miscarriage. My second child was born full term minus 2 weeks. He was born with Cytomagalic disease. A viral infection. He lived 33 days. I lost my second son to a sociopath killer at 16 who just wanted to feel what it was like to kill and chose my child to ambush and beat to death.
My baby sister developed Lichen Planus after a flu shot.
The last one I had was the first Super Flu shot. I was sick for 2 weeks, lost 10 lbs and had to go to the ER for a IV I was so dehydrated. I refuse them now.
Flu shots carry dangers.
Have you had your thyroid checked by an ENDO? Fast heart rates go with your thyroid being off. And pregnancy often triggers Thyroid issues that go unrecognized by GYN or PCP. Do NOT USE a PCP, use an ENDO as they have 3 additional years training in ENDO diseases. After they become Internist.
2013 was when the Bone density testing, PSA’s went to every 2 yrs. Last year nerve blocks were reduced to 3 per year. Their excuse the steroids cause bone density issues.
More changes are coming this year to Medicare. And to Tricare. Look at the book Medicare sends you for the changes.
They best be more aware that all those PPI’s Nexium etc they just dumped OTC cause the same issue Bone Density.
I’ve been on them 30 yrs and NOT 1 warning they cause bone density. No attempt to ween me off them. Now I have OP at -4 and can’t take even 1 of their da*n side effect riddled FDA warning drugs. 2 of them Reclast and Boniva are in your system for LIFE. And can and do cause death and other pain horror stories. All come with GI issues.
So I am looking at a double hip replacement before I fracture 1 or both hips from falls. I have Meneire’s and falls are a routine thing in my life.
I am so sorry for your losses. Thanks for the advice regarding thyroid issues.
Be sure if you are hypothyroid you do NOT EAT SOY of any kind. They forget to tell you that, and that you have to watch your iodine intake.
