Daily aspirin may reduce ovarian cancer risk: Women who take a daily low-dose aspirin (under 100 mg) may reduce their ovarian cancer risk by 20%, according to new research from the National Institutes of Health. Prior studies on the topic had yielded inconclusive results. The data came from 12 large studies and “included 7,776 women who had ovarian cancer and 11,843 women who did not.” However, researchers said further study was required and said patients should “follow the guidance of their doctor for aspirin use.”
Kraft Singles cut out the artificial preservatives: “Kraft Cheese will no longer use artificial preservatives in its Kraft Singles full-fat American and White American cheese.” Though the FDA says sorbic acid, the artificial preservative in the cheeses, is safe for consumption, consumer demand for more natural foods prompted the company to make the change. A natural preservative called natamycin will replace sorbic acid. “The new cheese will be on grocery shelves within the next few weeks and will have a red circle on its packaging to indicate it is free of artificial preservatives.” In the future, Kraft may make a similar change in its other products.
