MORE than 100 Victorian patients have had their dreams of parenthood destroyed by IVF blunders.
The mistakes include destruction of embryos during a blackout, others lost when a clinic was flooded, fertilised embryos dropped on a floor and a woman giving birth to a boy after requesting only female embryos because of a genetic condition.

In the last 3 years, an increasing amount of research suggests that
some of the damage done by Vitamin D deficiency is done in-utero, while
the fetus is developing. Much of that damage may be permanent, that is,
it can not be fully reversed by taking Vitamin D after birth. This
research indicates Vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy endangers the
mother's life and health, and is the origin for a host of future perils
for the child, especially for the child's brain and immune system. Some
of the damage done by maternal Vitamin D deficiency may not show up for
30 years. Let's start with the mother.

ScienceDaily (May 26, 2009) — Restricting carbohydrates, regardless of weight loss, appears to slow the growth of prostate tumors, according to an animal study being published this week by researchers in the Duke Prostate Center.
"Previous work here and elsewhere has shown that a diet light in carbohydrates could slow tumor growth, but the animals in those studies also lost weight, and because we know that weight loss can restrict the amount of energy feeding tumors, we weren't able to tell just how big an impact the pure carbohydrate restriction was having, until now," said Stephen Freedland, M.D., a urologist in the Duke Prostate Center and lead investigator on this study.
