Heart Attack in Women and Modifiable Risk Factors

Is your drinking water safe?



Testing your private well's water quality on a regular basis is important for healthy living. The test results will help you decide the next course of action required to safe guard your health.
The quality of a water source may change over time, even suddenly. Changes can go unnoticed as the water may look, smell, and taste the same. Climatic changes, neighboring industries, nearby harmful waste dumping sites etc. may affect ground water quality

The main concern is the damage that is caused, not immediately, but over a long period, like fluoride in water may not be harmful immediate but cause irreparable damage in the long run.  
Also, certain chemical contaminants in a water source can cause long term health problems that take years to develop.
Frequent water testing will identify unsafe water and ensure that the treatment system is treating the water to a satisfactory level.

Useful tests kits are available to help determine the health and safety of your water source. Private well water should be tested at frequent intervals. Drinking water supplies obtained from shallow wells and surface water sources should be tested more frequently (i.e. seasonally), as they are more susceptible to contamination.

 In case of abnormal results it is safe to get it tested at a certified laboratory.
Your local health department can assist in selecting tests important for assessing your drinking water.

DIY method of Insulin Production in the Future

After a century, insulin is still expensive – could DIYers change that? Miniature biomanufacturing kits like this prototype could revolutionize the pharmaceutical industry. Amino Labs , CC BY-ND Jenna E. Gallegos , Colorado State University and Jean Peccoud , Colorado State University Soon after Federick Banting discovered that insulin could be used to treat diabetes in 1921, he sold the patent to the University of Toronto for about a dollar. Banting received the Nobel prize because his discovery meant a life-saving drug could become widely available. Nearly a century later, an American with diabetes can pay as much as US$400 per month for insulin, driving some uninsured patients to desperate and dangerous measures. Clearly, something went wrong.
