Another consequence of global warming – ocean dead zones There are special areas in the oceans called coastal upwelling ecosystems. In recent years there have been significant deviations from the norm of upwelling in these areas. Massive phytoplankton blooms are being observed. The consequence of the blooms combined with changes in wind patterns results in a zone of low oxygen. The water oxygen level gets so low it is insufficient oxygen for most animals and they suffocate and die.

NSAIDs (Advil, Aleve, Vioxx...) increases risk of first heart attack The authors found "a clear but moderate association (less than two-fold) between first MI and current use of NSAIDs." The association between first heart attack and NSAID existed in conventional, semi-selective, and COX-2 NSAIDs. The risk of first heart attack varied widely with celecoxib (Celebrex ®) having the lowest at an increased risk of 6% and etoricoxib (Arcoxia®) having a huge increased risk of 121%.

More Inconvenient Truths While a new medication, vaccine, or surgical treatment will almost always get a large amount of generally favorable press, a study that shows leafy green vegetables greatly decreases the risk of skin cancer, meat and dairy greatly increase the risk of cancer, or coffee increases spontaneous abortion hardly gets any mention.
