A groundbreaking study spanning two decades suggests that cannabis users may experience improved heart attack outcomes compared to non-users, contradicting the long-held belief that cannabis worsens heart health. The research, published in the Archives of Medical Science Atherosclerosis Diseases, highlights a potential ‘cannabis paradox’ and underscores the need for further investigation into the complex relationship between cannabis and cardiovascular health.
New research suggests a significant link between endometriosis and ovarian cancer risk, particularly for women with severe endometriosis. However, experts emphasize that the overall risk remains relatively low and women shouldn’t be unduly concerned. The study, published in JAMA, analyzed data from nearly 78,900 women and found a 4.2-times-higher lifetime risk of ovarian cancer for women with any type of endometriosis. Despite this increase, the risk for women with endometriosis remains lower than the general population’s risk for other cancers like breast, lung, or bowel cancer.
