Health: Is depression an infectious disease?

New research is revealing that many cases of depression are caused by an allergic reaction to inflammation. Tim de Chant of NOVA writes:

“Inflammation is our immune system’s natural response to injuries, infections, or foreign compounds. When triggered, the body pumps various cells and proteins to the site through the blood stream, including cytokines, a class of proteins that facilitate intercellular communication. It also happens that people suffering from depression are loaded with cytokines.”

Inflammation is caused by obesity, high sugar diets, high quantities of trans fats, unhealthy diets in general, and other causes. By treating the inflammatory symptoms of depression — rather than the neurological ones — researchers and doctors are opening up an exciting new dimension in the fight against what has become a global epidemic.

Health: Dental Cavities

There are several kinds of cavities. But the kind of cavity I'm writing about is the tooth kind, aka tooth decay. A cavity happens when bacteria infect one of your teeth. And the more time they have to grow the worse it gets. After a while of not treating the cavity, it will develop into a tooth ache. And then after that it will get so bad the dentist would have to pull the entire tooth out.

I found out I had a cavity last night. I knew because it had already developed into a tooth ache. To keep your teeth healthy you should have a check-up at your local dentist at least once a year. So the dentist can fix cavities before you even see them.
