Stephanie Stricklen: May 2007 ArchivesAt least that's what the researcher is suggesting. Okay, you saw the story.. you know this was work done in the lab. And you know that he's not exactly saying the preservative is dangerous.. just not safe (that distinction really is sublte but important). Here is everything you ever wanted to know. Or at least everything I could dig up given my time constraints. Original article that has been picked up all over the ... No, no.. don't drink the goopy white stuff. We're talking about tea.. green, black and otherwise. It seems these teas may offer some protective benefits against two common skin cancers. But, as you saw in the story there are a bunch of reasons why you shouldn't just give up on sunscreen and smart sun-exposure. Here is the study abstract!! http://www.eblue.or... Little Robert Palmer reference there... I've had a song theme thing working for me all week!! I hope you liked tonite's story (5pm Friday) on Dr. Starr and Randy Jelen.
Randy had too many wonderful people to thank in one short TV news story.. like the doctors who diagnosed him way back when h... This China tainted toothpaste scare goes to show how much of a global market economy we really live in. I promised you more articles to check out and here they are: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/24/business/24toothpaste.html?ref=health Sort of a new take on that Village People song... :-) Okay... this is what that bag o' chips looks like:
I sort of describe them as a little Willy Wonka-esque. You pop one in your mouth and you taste kind of this beefy, pickly, mustardy burger taste. Folks here in the newsroom often went for a McDonald'... So, this will be the world's shortest blog entry.. because I'm off to BREAKING NEWS! Yes, every so often these things happen.. so I'm off like a rocket (but not before giving you the link to the Oregon Burn Center, as promised). http://www.legacyhealth.org/body.cfm?id=763&oTopID=763&PLinkID=46 Have a fantastic rest of your day.. and you can check o... Okay. So what did you think of the ornamental noxious weed story (runs Friday at 5pm)??? The way those beautiful flowers can totally go nuts in someone's yard is amazing. I did a story about 6 years ago on invasive English Ivy which really developed my first appreciation for all things 'noxious'. If you want more information on English Ivy check this here: Dr. Matt Bradley is amazing. I mean, did you see the story (airs Thursday 5pm.. and will be available on-line after that in our video section)??? I'm super impressed. He also has a pretty cool robotic prosthetic leg with a little computer in it that helps him stay on his feet for his 100 hour work weeks!! And, I should probably say HI to his wife who totally watches channel 8. Dr. Bradley and I joked... Hepatitis C. I sort of knew about it. I mean, I'd heard about Pam Anderson when she announced she had it, and sort of had this vague recollection that it was a disease common among IV drug users. But boy is that just scratching the tip of the iceburg!! For the free, confidential screenings and to learn more, check out the Hep C Caring Ambassadors program here: http://w... I've been at this medical reporting thing for a long time and this was the first I'd heard about normal weight obesity. I love my job.. I learn every day!! Dr. Mays says this condition can be especially problematic in Asians who can look quite "thin' on the outside but yet have a lot of this internal fat on the inside. She says this internal fat is processed differently than the under-the-skin fat, and that it can cause your triglyce... That's my best written chicken impression. This chicken story is the one I've been going on about all week. Okay, I have tips for those of you who are all about the chickens!! For those interested in learning more: http://www.growing-gardens.org/portland-gardening-resources/chickens.php >> Continue reading: There are just so many things new moms and dads have to think about that you never know what will raise a red flag. That said it doesn't surprise me that parents are reacting to the BPA leaching possibility in baby bottles, regardless of what the FDA and industry groups say. I want to give you multiple links to look at so you can read through it and come to your own conclusions. Here is a link to the Environment California report, an... That's the title of the 5pm special report I did tonite (Monday). It's a bit over the top, but hey, I guess it gets your attention. I do really like the content of the story. The two doctors we talked to had such great suggestions and personal stories. Here are the additional links: The OHSU Prostate Cancer Exercise Study: call the project director Jessica at 503.494.4427 to see if you qualify. And a link to the Pro... Huff, huff. That's the sound of me breathing heavily as I race through the day. I (mistakenly) thought today would be slower than yesterday which was Body Worlds 3 day, but little did I know. I've been making calls, purging the email, writing the online version of Body Worlds, doing this blog, have to write Monday's sweeps story and go shoot next Wednesday's story at 1. Huff, huff. Oh yeah, "sweeps" is the same... If you are looking for the Medical Tourism blog.. it is the previous posting!! I have two stories running today but only one blog so the stories have to share. :-) OMSI Body Worlds 3 info/tickets/background: http://www.omsi.edu/visit/featured/bodyworlds/ I wrote this yesterday on the plane... I'm writing the bulk of this on the flight home because I... Hello!!!! Okay, the Body Worlds story runs tonite at 11pm.
If you heard me on the radio this morning you know it's pretty wild stuff. I hope you can check it out and share your opinions. That blog is coming, but first I need to post my blog on tonite's 5pm story: Medical Touri... I've been out of the state shooting this top secret story that airs tomorrow night at 11pm.. I'm bracing myself for angry emails and phone calls after it airs. Keep in mind, my job is to present both sides so you can make up your own mind!! You'll have to tell me what you think. In the meantime: look at these photos... any guesses where I am??
