An excited Oprah Winfrey revealed on Tuesday afternoon that she has lost 26 pounds on Weight Watchers, and is still eating bread every day. The 61-year-old star purchased a 10 percent stake in the company in October for $43.2 million, and agreed to become a spokesperson for the weight loss giant..

After sharing the clip shown below on Twitter, Weight Watchers stock soared by over 20 percent, closing at $13.29 per share. Thirty minutes before the Tweet came out the shares were trading at $11.35. That comes out to roughly $12.5 million per hour.

In the clip Oprah revealed that she is still burning calories, even while eating her beloved bread every day. One of the attractions of the weight loss program is that members can eat anything they want, using Smart Points to track consumption and touting making smart choices.

Weight Watchers members can choose to attend weekly meetings or do the plan on their own by using online tools. Mobile apps promise making tracking easy, particularly with large databases of foods and restaurant meals.

At the time Winfrey made the purchase of Weight Watchers shares she agreed to become a spokesperson for the company. In a statement she made at the time she said, “I believe in the program so much, I decided to invest in the company and partner in its evolution.

The American Hearth Association (AHA) has released a scientific statement announcing that the cardiac disease mortality rate has been greater for women than for men since 1984. In addition to being more deadly for women, heart attacks have different symptoms than in men, some of which can be vague. The AHA’s statement, its first on gender differences in heart attack patients, was published Jan. 26 in the journal Circulation.

Statement chair person Dr. Laxmi Mehta says that over the last 10 years they have learned that men’s and women’s heart attacks are different in “some significant ways.” Although that has helped reduce mortality, there is much more to learn. She says that, since most heart disease research is done on men, how it is categorized is based on men.

The differences in heart attack symptoms between men and women can lead to deadly mistakes. The AHA said in their statement that, although experts have known about differences for years, the message is not getting through to either women or health professionals.

Heart attacks in both men and women are typically caused by blocked arteries. The difference is in how they form. Women tend to have less severe blockages than men, but those blockages still damage the arteries that supply blood to the heart. When that blood flow is reduced a heart attack can happen.

53,000 women die from heart attacks every year. Twenty-six percent of women die within a year of their first heart attack, compared to 19 percent of men. Within 5 years of a first heart attack, 47 percent of women die or have a stroke or heart failure, compared to 36 percent of men.

Mehta says the reason heart attacks are more deadly for women is that doctors often do not correctly diagnose the underlying cause of a heart attack in a woman, so they do not prescribe the right treatment after the attack occurs. The difference in mortality between the sexes is also due to the woman not realizing her symptoms may be that of a heart attack, because women’s heart attack symptoms are different than men.

The most common symptoms in both men and women are chest pain or discomfort. However, women are more likely to have less typical symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, shortness of breath, and jaw or back pain. Shoulder and arm pain, typically thought of as heart attack symptoms, are twice as predictive of a heart attack diagnosis in men as in women.

This means women might wait too long to seek help, not realizing they are in trouble. Men usually report to the emergency room within 15 hours of their symptoms starting, while women wait more than two days on average.

Mehta says it is important that women pay more attention to symptoms. She also stresses that more research is needed, since most heart attack information relates to men. “We don’t yet clearly understand why women have different causes and symptoms of heart attacks. Women are more complex, there are more biological variables such as hormonal fluctuations. That’s why more research is needed.”

Twenty-two month-old Daisy Stovell was only 11 days old when she was diagnosed with cancer, making her one of the youngest cancer patients in Britain. After the infant, who was born with breathing difficulties, underwent a series of tests she was sedated in order to examine her for what they believed was a throat obstruction. While she was sedated the doctors carried out a routine eye check which revealed that she had retinoblastoma, a rare form of eye cancer.

Only 40 to 50 cases of this disease are seen in the UK every year, and many of the children who have it are not diagnosed until the tumor is too large for their sight to be saved. Daisy’s cancer was caught when it was small, and she received her first round of chemotherapy at age 3 and one-half weeks. After two rounds of chemo the tumor had shrunk by over 50 percent. Laser treatment administered over months eradicated the rest of the growth.

Daisy was delivered 5 days late, by Cesarean section, and weighed only 6 pounds. She was thought to have an infection due to swallowing amniotic fluid, so she was placed on antibiotics. Doctors thought she had an issue with her throat when she failed to respond to the medication. It was during the surgery to examine her throat, which ended up being only a”a bit floppy,” that the eye tumor was found.

Daisy’s mom, 38-year-old Sally Stovell, was shocked at the thought of her 3-week-old baby having chemotherapy, but said she trusted the doctors. Daisy received her first round of chemo in the neonatal ward and then, finally, was allowed home with her parents for the first time at 5 weeks old.

The family was devastated when doctors said the tumor had seen a slight regrowth when Daisy was about 6 months old. After continuing with treatment it slowly disappeared, and she has been in remission for 14 months. Trips to Birmingham are necessary every 10 weeks for check-ups.

Daisy, who also wears hearing aids, has gone under general anesthesia about 30 times in order for her eyes to be examined. She also has a chromosonal deletion syndrome that caused her throat problems at birth. This has corrected itself as she has grown, but she still has weak muscle tone that has resulted in her to still being unable to walk at almost 2 years old. This condition may be related to the retinoblastoma gene, and the Stovells have been warned that their child could develop more tumors in the future.

The tot still has to wear an eye patch every morning to help strengthen the muscles in the eye that had the tumor.

The case of the 11-day-old cancer victim has been presented to hospitals all over the UK to show the value of routine eye checks in newborns.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced today that 12 people have been hospitalized and one has died from a listeria outbreak that has been linked to prepackaged salads produced by Dole Food Company in its Springfield, Ohio facility. The outbreak may also been connected to listeria illnesses in five Canadian provinces. The Public Health Agency of Canada said today that it is working with U.S. health and regulatory officials in an investigation of the Dole plant.

On Friday, Dole Fresh Vegetables Inc. said that it is temporarily suspending operations at the Springfield facility. They also announced on Thursday that they are pulling from grocery store shelves all Dole-branded and private label packaged salads produced at that plant.

As well as being sold under the Dole name, the salads appear under private label brands such as Marketside (Walmart), Fresh Selections (Kroger), Simple Truth (natural/organic label for Kroger), Little Salad Bar (Aldi), and President’s Choice, which is sold at Canadian stores Loblaws Cos. Ltd.

The 12 people hospitalized have been from six U.S. states: Indiana, Michigan, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. One person from Michigan has died. The listeria reports began July 5. In Canada, seven people have been hospitalized and they also have recorded a death related to listeria of the same strain as is found in the U.S.

Listeriosis is an infection caused by consuming foods that are contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Those at particular risk for being severely infected include newborns, pregnant mothers, people with weakened immune systems and adults aged 65 and older. Symptoms include muscle aches and gastrointestinal symptoms.

According to the CDC, there is no apparent link to listeria and packaged salads produced at other Dole processing plants. Dole said on Jan. 22 that the products being withdrawn can be identified as having a code in the upper right-hand corner of the package that begins with the letter “A.” They are encouraging anyone who may have the affected products in their home to discard them immediately and thoroughly clean any surfaces they might have touched.

At least one outbreak of listeria has been recorded every year since 2011, and has been linked primarily to prepackaged foods and dairy products. Last spring, Blue Bell Creameries, ranked as the number one brand of ice cream in the country in 2014, recalled all products after a listeria outbreak connected to their product occurred in four states.
