Warning about taking multivitamins for women. The study included 39,000 women the ages 55-69 and these women were followed for 19 years. Study concluded that 40% of the women being followed died. Researchers found those who took multivitamins had a higher risk of death than those who took no supplements. The study also found other supplements that increased death are: iron, B6, folic acid, magnesium, zinc and cooper. Out of all the supplements only one prove to be beneficial and that is calcium. The reason for the deaths are not clear.

A scientist stranded at the South pole. Renee Douceur is the winter manager at Amundsen-Scott Research Station at the South Pole. She suffered a stroke on August 27th while she was sitting at her desk. She has partial loss of vision in both eyes. She was put on medical leave and spends half of her day on oxygen due to the altitude. Sending a rescue plane would be dangerous due to the fuel of the plane becoming jelly from the fridgid weather temps (70 degrees below 0). The temperatures must be -50 degrees for planes to land. Her rescue is scheduled on October 17 only if weather permits. She will be flown to New Zealand for medical care. Here's a link to save Ranee http://saverenee.org/ sign the petition because they are not treating her stroke as an emergency and she needs immediate medical attention.
