Weight Gain In Females Linked To Heartburn
Food Consumer, IL -
As an example researchers said that a 5-foot 2-inch woman weighing 123 to 136 pounds had a 38 percent greater chance of reflux than a woman weighing 110 to 122 lb. "We see an extremely linear trend that shows that the higher up you go on the BMI scale, the higher risk you have," Jacobson said. A BMI of more than 25 is considered to be overweight.

Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. Announces May 2006 Sales
Market Wire (press release) -
Pet Ecology Brands, Inc. has developed a revolutionary patented cat litter that destroys urine odor, clumps, and is earth-friendly. Scientific Professional™ Cat Litter is ultra-lightweight and convenient to use (3 lbs works like 21 lbs of clay/sand-based products); it is 100% flushable and safe for sewer and septic tank systems. It is completely safe for cats and our environment, and does not contain any sodium bentonite, as used in competing brands. The design helps to protect the landfills, and yet does everything that clay litters do... and more. It has the ability to help indicate certain diseases commonly occurring in cats. The technique used is similar to that found in Merck's Veterinarian Manual. However, this litter not only warns of possible illness, but may also help indicate how far along the illness may be by the color the litter changes to, thereby providing the pet owner significant additional benefits and an early warning system concerning the cat's health. Scoop-Lite® provides the same benefits as Scientific Professional Cat Litter without the sickness indicator.
