כמובן שזה לא יצא כמו שצריך, אבל זה מאוד מעניין... שווה להתאמץ! Crohn's disease linked to refrigerator use By ANDRÉ PICARD PUBLIC HEALTH REPORTER Friday, December 12, 2003 - Page A7 A huge increase in the incidence of Crohn's disease, a debilitating condition of the digestive system, is directly related to the availability of refrigerators, new research suggests. The theory, published in today's edition of The Lancet medical journal, is not as strange as it might seem at first glance. The researchers believe that exposure to common food-borne bacteria such a yersinia and listeria overstimulates the immune system and triggers Crohn's in people who are genetically susceptible. These bacteria are found in a wide variety of foods that are refrigerated, including pork, chicken, sausage, hamburger, cheese and lettuce; they can survive at temperatures near the freezing point. Most domestic refrigerators are kept at about 4 C. "We propose a link between Crohn's disease, the cold chain and chronic infestation of the digestive tract by psychotropic bacteria," said Jean-Pierre Hugot, a gastroenterologist at Hôpital Robert Debré in Paris. He said that previous research has already demonstrated, quite clearly, that some people are genetically predisposed to Crohn's and the genetic traits involve the immune response to microbes. Yersinia and listeria microbes are also present in Crohn's lesions. Dr. Hugot and his colleagues also showed that refrigerator sales match increases in Crohn's. The number of people suffering from the condition rose sharply in developed countries beginning in the 1950s.Prior to the Second World War, fewer than half of homes had a refrigerator. According to the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada, more than 100,000 adults and children in this country have inflammatory bowel disease. The condition has two principal forms, Crohn's and ulcerative colitis. Crohn's disease is treated with diet restrictions and medication to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation. In severe cases, damaged portions of the intestines are surgically removed. Canada, and in particular Western Canada, has one of the highest rates of Crohn's in the world. "Environmental factors, probably related to the modern occidental way of life, likely have a role in Crohn's disease," Dr. Hugot said.

סליחה,אני מקבל קריזה מהאנגלית ואשמח אם תתגרמו לי. זה מזכיר לי שכשהייתי ברה"ב דיברתי חופשי רק שזה לקח חודש. יש כל כך הרבה צרות שלא צריך להוסיף אנגלית. חוץ מזה זה מזכיר לי שבגלל שאני חלש באנגלית אין לי ארץ אחרת... הבעיה גם היא שבדרך כלל לא חשוב מה שכתוב,חשוב מה שכתוב בין השורות. אצלי אנגלית זה פסיכוסומטי... בריאות לכולם.
