** ALCOHOL / ADDICTION / ILLEGAL DRUGS News **
Alcohol Doesn't Increase Risk Of Breast Cancer
http://mnt.to/a/4cVf
A new study has revealed that alcohol consumption doesn't increase a woman's risk of breast cancer, and that moderate alcohol consumption may actually modestly lower the risk of early death among breast cancer survivors at risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Incurable Neurological Disorder HDLS Often Incorrectly Diagnosed As Alzheimer's Disease, MS Or Parkinson's Disease
http://mnt.to/a/4cRK
The very serious hereditary disease HDLS was discovered in 1984 in Sweden. Many HDLS patients are still incorrectly diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, MS or Parkinson's disease, but researchers at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden, have now developed a more certain diagnosis method - and are seeking to find a treatment for the "unknown" neurological disorder.
