Acid Reflux
What have epidemiologic data demonstrated as an important risk factor for the development of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)?
Obesity.
Central Obesity, rather than body mass index (BMI), appears to be more closely associated with complications such as

51.216 pg/g
What are the comparisons between Farmed and Wild Salmons?
Farmed Salmons:
More fats (white lines)
Higher fat content

Color-added to look like salmon
Doctors warn women + children should avoid it
Not good for whales
Wild:
Leaner
Cleaner
Naturally pink
Good for our oceans
Good for whales
What toxins are in found in farmed salmon?
Fact: These toxins accumulate in our bodies and mothers release up to 94% of these toxins through pregnancy and breastfeeding

Advancing age
How many types of Colon Polyps are there?
4 Types of Colon Polyps:
1) Inflammatory - found in ppl with IBD such as Chron’s or Colitis
2) Hyperplasia - abnormal cell growth, low cancer risk
3) Adenomas - most common form of polyps; potentially cancerous
4) Tubulovillous (villous) adenoma - highest risk of cancer
