A high-quality diet reduces risk of pancreatic cancer

People who reported dietary intake that was most consistent with the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans had lower risk of pancreatic cancer, according to a new study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Previous studies investigating the relationship between food and nutrient intake and pancreatic cancer have yielded inconsistent results. The U.S. Government issues evidence-based dietary guidelines that provide the basis for federal nutrition policy and education activities to promote overall health for Americans. The authors evaluated how closely study participants' diets matched the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, as measured by the Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2005), and then compared their risk of pancreatic cancer.
Hannah Arem, Ph.D.,, from the Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD, and colleagues calculated HEI-2005 scores for 537,218 participants in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study (ages 50-71 years), based on responses to food frequency questionnaires. Pancreatic cancer risk was then compared between those with high and low HEI-2005 scores, accounting for the influence of other known pancreatic cancer risk factors.
Among the study participants there were 2,383 new cases of pancreatic cancer. Overall, the investigators observed a 15% lower risk of pancreatic cancer among participants with the highest HEI-2005 score compared to those with the lowest HEI-2005 score. This association was stronger among overweight or obese men compared to men of normal weight, but there was no difference for normal vs. overweight or obese women. While the authors adjusted for known risk factors such as smoking and diabetes status, they caution that other health factors not collected in the questionnaires may be associated with a more healthful diet and might explain some of the observed reduced risk. They also noted that diet is difficult to measure and the HEI-2005 was not designed specifically for the purpose of overall cancer prevention.
According to Arem and colleagues "the Dietary Guidelines for Americans are issued to promote overall health, including the maintenance of a healthy weight and disease prevention. Our findings support the hypothesis that a high-quality diet may also play a role in reducing pancreatic cancer risk." Future studies are needed to confirm these findings.
In an accompanying editorial, Rachel Ballard-Barbash, M.D., and Susan M. Krebs-Smith, Ph.D., from the Applied Research Program at the National Cancer Institute (Bethesda, MD), and Marian L. Neuhouser, Ph.D., from the Cancer Prevention Program in the Division of Public Health Sciences at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (Seattle, WA) discuss that progress has been made in understanding associations between diet and cancer risk, but they have not resulted in noticeable changes in cancer incidence in the US. They conclude, "Practical and actionable dietary recommendations that are based on sound research should ultimately reduce patient suffering and treatment-related expenditures from preventable cancers."

Spanish public Debt continued to climb in June with 6.368 billion more added to the books, the Bank of Spain revealed Friday. The increase puts the total amount owed by Spain's public administrations at 943.702 billion, an amount equivalent to 90.3 percent of gross domestic product, according to the central bank, which put GDP last year at 1.045 trillion euros. Spain has gone from having one of the lowest levels of public Debt in the European Union - 36.3 percent of GDP - to an above average rate since the start of the crisis. The main explanation is to be found in its huge budget discrepancies, which reached their height in 2009 under the Socialists, with a deficit above 11 percent that led to a notable spike in Debt that year. Despite a drop in the budget deficit, a similar rise was recorded in the ruling Popular Party's first year in power (2012) because of the financing of different operations to provide liquidity to regional and local governments and the taking on of a 40-billion European bailout for the banking sector. And the Debt has only gone on rising this year - by around 50 billion - as a result of more measures to help the public administrations, but also because the Treasury has brought forward its placements of Debt in the market to take advantage of a recent fall in Spain's risk premium. * More... ...

Remember the last time you saw the infamous Twitter fail whale? With any luck, it's been a while -- the microblogging outfit is boasting that it withstood a one-second peak of 143,199 Tweets earlier this month. This volley of updates stands not only as a new record for tweets per second (the previous record topped out at 33,338), but as a sign for the social network's stability. Twitter's Raffi Krikorian took to the company's engineering blog to elaborate.
Three years ago, the World Cup brought Twitter to its knees -- crashing the service with nearly every play. Krikorian says the experience gave the company pause, prompting them reevaluate its approach to managing traffic. "We learned a lot. We changed our engineering organization." Krikorian goes on to detail the transformation, explaining how the firm tweaked its programming models, architecture, services, applications and storage databases to eliminate bottlenecks and increase stability. "We're now able to withstand events like Castle in the Sky viewings, the Super Bowl, and the global New Year's Eve celebration." All of the above topics are addressed at length, but Twitter promises future blog updates diving into each subject at even greater length. So, curious as to why exactly you haven't missed out on any of @GeorgeTakei's quirky banter? Check out the attached source link and find out.

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Lauren Graham is back in business with The CW - and she's bringing Ellen DeGeneres along with her.
The former "Gilmore Girls" star has landed a script deal to adapt her novel "Someday, Someday, Maybe" as a one-hour drama.
Graham will write the project as well as executive produce. DeGeneres is also executive producing with Jeff Kleeman through their A Very Good Production company.
The drama will center around a young woman with six months left on her three-year plan to make a career as an actress in New York City.
The novel, Graham's first, was released this year and is based on Graham's experience on the 1990s New York acting scene. The book entered the New York Times best-seller list.
A Very Good Production is producing in association with Warner Bros. Television.
