The Canadian government’s low-risk drinking guidelines state that women should consume no more than about 10 drinks per week and men no more than 15. (A “drink” is 12 oz. or 355 cc of beer, 5 oz. or 148 cc of wine, or 1.5 oz. or 44 cc of liquor.) These limits are slightl...
A focus on low desire in women partnered with men is problematic not least because it could be a malappropriation of heteronormativity. Why focus on women, where the problem has been “located” for so long? Why not focus on the ways that heteronormativity could be a valuable lens for under...
Heavy drinking was defined as the percentage of participants drinking above the limits of low-risk drinking and assessed at baseline and one and six months follow-up [2]. This means drinking more than 7 (girls aged 15–16 years), 12 (boys aged 15–16 years), 14 (females aged 17–20 ...

The Environmental Protection Agency is warning that two nonstick and stain-resistant compounds in drinking water pose health risks at levels so low they cannot currently be detected.
Cadmium enters the human body through occupational exposure, diet, drinking water, breathing, and smoking. Cadmium accumulation in the human body is associated with increased risk of developing obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome (MetS). Cadmium uptake is enhanced during ...
The limits of agreement between two equations were broad (Males: -4.27 to 45.95 ml/min/1.73 m2, Females: -11.88 to 28.82 ml/min/1.73 m2). The thin dotted line represents a linear fit of data point. There was an increase in variance of MDRD eGFR estimates across eGFR range. eGFR, ...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a globally rising health issue characterized by a high burden of comorbidities and mortality. Poor diet can increase the incidence and progression of CKD directly, e.g., through the path of obesity, or indirectly through its effects on contributing CKD risk factor...
