White Teeth Award
At the age of 33, performance artist and story teller Eva Grayzel was diagnosed with stage IV oral cancer (squamous cell carcinoma) on the left side of her tongue. Eva ate well, exercised regularly, and had none of the risk factors commonly associated with oral cancer. She was a non-drinker who had never smoked. She was also the mother of two small children, Elena and Jeremy, ages five and seven.
Almost three years passed from the time she initially consulted dental professionals about the sore on her tongue before her condition was accurately diagnosed. Ultimately, she had to endure a partial tongue reconstruction, a modified radical neck dissection, and the maximum dose of radiation therapy. Following her exceptional recovery, she became a motivational speaker, giving presentations on how to find strength from adversity and telling her remarkable story to dental professionals.
Black Tongue Award
Is the FDA a reliable source for health opinions?
Could this qualified health statement by the FDA be any more confusing?
"Green tea may reduce the risk of breast or prostate cancer. FDA does not agree that green tea may reduce the risk because there is very little scientific evidence for the claim."
A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) qualified health claim about green tea and the risk of breast and prostate cancer is so strongly worded that it “effectively negates” the claim it is designed to qualify and violates the first amendment, a judge has ruled.

"Even Frank Sinatra would be hard put to rival Sawicki when it comes to thoughts on lips and all they speak of. What he offers here is a company of quick reflections on lips and smiles and their many moods."-- Kirkus Indie |
Meat Cleaver Therapy
In Chinese culture, almost anything can be held to have a health benefit if used in a certain way — even being struck with a meat cleaver. Tapping the sharp edge of a cleaver on the flesh is said to benefit the skin and muscles and to be relaxing.
Cool Hands Could Improve Exercise Tolerance
Cooling the palms of the hands while working out could help you stick with a physical activity program. In the study, obese women who exercised while using the AvaCore Rapid Thermal Exchange (RTX palm cooling device) improved their exercise tolerance and cardiovascular fitness. Holding a bottle of cold water may also cool palms and help exercisers feel cooler, less sweaty and less fatigued — allowing them to work out longer and make them more likely to stick with their exercise regimen.
Statins -- Good For Arteries, Bad For Exercise
For years, physicians and scientists have been aware that statins, the most widely prescribed drugs in the world, can cause muscle aches and fatigue in some patients. What many people don’t know is that these side effects are especially pronounced in people who exercise. Statin users typically are at high risk for cardiovascular problems, making them the very people who could most benefit from regular exercise. But it may be that as a result of muscle problems, some people taking statins exercise less or not at all.
Teeth Could Be The Cure For Extinction
Conventional wisdom holds that during the Mesozoic Era, mammals were small creatures that held on at life's edges. But at least one mammal group, rodent-like creatures called multituberculates, actually flourished during the last 20 million years of the dinosaurs' reign and survived their extinction 66 million years ago.
New research led by a University of Washington paleontologist suggests that the multituberculates did so well in part because they developed numerous tubercles (bumps, or cusps) on their back teeth that allowed them to feed largely on angiosperms, flowering plants that were just becoming commonplace.
Meditation Makes Your Brain Stronger
Gyrification or cortical folding is the process by which the surface of the brain undergoes changes to create narrow furrows and folds called sulci and gyri. Their formation may promote and enhance neural processing. Presumably then, the more folding that occurs, the better the brain is at processing information, making decisions, forming memories and so forth. Long term meditators have more cortical folding.
Crocodiles Bite Twice As Hard As T. rex
Crocodiles can kill with the strongest bite force measured for any living animal. the largest extinct crocodilians generated bite forces in excess of 23,000 pounds, values two-fold greater than T. rex." The researchers found that bite force was correlated with body size, but showed surprisingly little correlation with tooth form, diet, jaw shape or jaw strength.

The Sharpest Teeth Yet Discovered
Conodont elements are the sharpest dental structures ever measured. This sharpness allowed conodonts to overcome the limitations of their small size: since pressure is simply force applied divided by area, to increase pressure you must either increase the force or shrink the area. Conodont evolution took the latter route, allowing them to apply enough pressure to break up their food.
The work places dental evolution in larger vertebrates, like humans, in perspective: they took the alternative route, developing less efficient but less breakable, blunter teeth, to which greater force can be applied by jaw muscles.
