Vulnerable Children At Risk Of Being Placed With Unsafe Carers
The extent of the failures in the foster care system has been highlighted in an unpublished report which reveals that vulnerable children in the southeast are at risk of being placed with unsafe carers.
This internal audit conducted by the Health Service Executive follows a number of other critical reports which highlighted major problems in childcare in the Dublin and Cork areas.
This latest report, completed in December of last year, found:
No evidence of formal assessments of foster families or Garda clearance in up to a quarter of cases examined, increasing the risk of unsuitable people working as foster carers. Read more
Leafy Greens May Reduce Risk Of Diabetes
Tucking into more spinach and other green leafy vegetables can reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes, a study published on Friday by the British Medical Journal (BMJ) said.
The research wades into a controversial area, and its authors caution more investigation is needed to confirm the findings.
A team led by Patrice Carter at the University of Leicester, central England, reviewed six studies involving 220 000 people that explored the link between fruit and vegetable consumption and Type 2, or adult-onset, diabetes.
Eating one and a half extra servings of green leafy vegetables cut the risk of diabetes by 14 percent, but eating more fruit and vegetables combined had negligible impact, they found. Read more
Risk To Kids From Toxic Pesticides May Be Underestimated, Study Finds 1
When kids eat conventionally grown fruits and vegetables, what level of pesticide residues are they taking in — and to what effect?
The answers to those questions remain murky, because little research has been done. But evidence is bulding that the way we think about pesticide risk, especially in children, is all wrong. A few years ago, scientists at Emory and the University of Washington showed that when children switched to organic fruits and vegetables, pesticide residue in their bodies (as measured in their urine) dropped significantly within days. But what wasn’t clear at the time was the pesticide load in a typical kid’s diet, since the scientists in the organic study had themselves established the diet given to the kids.
Now, Chensheng Lu, the lead scientist involved with the earlier study, has come out with a new one, along with a team of government and university researchers. This time, he and his team analyzed the pesticide residue on the fresh fruits and vegetables that parents gave their kids. The researchers analyzed the fruit-and-veg consumption of two groups of kids, one from Washington state and one from Georgia. Read more
