A major 15-year study published in *JAMA Internal Medicine* has revealed that added sugar may pose a greater risk to heart health than cholesterol itself—more than doubling the chance of dying from heart disease, even in people who are not overweight.

Researchers found that individuals who consumed 25% or more of their daily calories from added sugar were over twice as likely to die from heart disease compared to those who consumed less than 10%. This risk held true regardless of age, weight, activity levels, or cholesterol numbers, making sugar intake a universal concern.

The biggest culprits include sugary drinks, desserts, candy, sweetened cereals, and fruit drinks. Excess sugar can raise blood pressure and trigger the liver to release harmful fats into the bloodstream. The American Heart Association recommends keeping daily sugar intake under 6 teaspoons for women and 9 teaspoons for men, but just one soda can exceed these limits. Small swaps, like fruit-infused seltzer or naturally sweetened snacks, can make a big difference in protecting your heart.

In a breakthrough that could reshape cancer treatment, scientists have discovered that honeybee venom can destroy 100% of aggressive breast cancer cells in less than 60 minutes. The key lies in a powerful compound called melittin, found in honeybee venom but not in bumblebee venom.

Researchers tested the venom on various breast cancer cell types in lab dishes and found that melittin acts like a precision-guided weapon. It punches holes in cancer cell membranes, causing the cells to die quickly. What’s even more promising is that melittin leaves healthy cells largely untouched, suggesting it could be used for treatments with fewer side effects than chemotherapy or radiation.

Melittin proved especially effective against triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-enriched breast cancer, two of the most difficult types to treat. This discovery opens new doors to developing safer, more targeted cancer therapies using natural compounds.

Scientists are now working to harness melittin’s cancer-fighting power in a controlled way, possibly through nanoparticles or synthetic versions that could be used in future medications. While more research is needed, this natural molecule from bees offers a powerful new weapon in the fight against cancer.

Did you know there is an imaging technique that allows you to "see" the inflammation in your body? Thermography is safe, comfortable body imaging without the harmful effects of radiation, the uncomfortable consequences of pain or the effects of anxiety triggered by other imaging devices.

We use digital infrared thermal imaging to map, measure and monitor breast and body disease-causing inflammation followed by doctor recommended next steps. Thermography can detect conditions including unexplained pain, digestive disorders, hormone imbalances, back injuries, headaches, breast health, skin abnormalities, neuropathy, arthritis and so much more. And the best part? NO radiation or compression.

I have been having yearly thermography scans done since I turned 40, primarily to monitor my breast health. But thermography has a much wider application for monitoring our whole body health and wellness! I completed my certification last fall and have been working hard to bring this valued service to more people. Not enough people know this is an option!

I would love the opportunity to share more information with you!
