    WEDNESDAY, Nov. 19 (HealthDay News) —

    Bickering parents and poor caregiver relationships each increase levels of cortisol (the stress hormone) in children, new studies say.

    • Long-term or frequent rises in cortisol can have negative health consequences. 
    • The first study, which looked at 191 full-time day-care children, found that many preschoolers experience increasing levels of cortisol throughout the day, the opposite of how the hormone is produced in most humans.
    • In the second study, higher cortisol levels were found in children distressed by their parents’ fighting.
      • Children who become very upset when their parents fight are more likely to develop psychological problems and have higher cortisol levels.
      • Study leader Patrick T. Davies, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, said in a news release from the journal’s publisher, “Because higher levels of cortisol have been linked to a wide range of mental and physical health difficulties, high levels of cortisol may help explain why children who experience high levels of distress when their parents argue are more likely to experience later health problems.”

    • Sugar Can Be Addictive: Animal Studies Show Sugar Dependence 

      • (December 11, 2008) — Scientists have demonstrated that sugar can be an addictive substance, wielding its power over the brains of lab animals in a manner similar to many drugs of abuse. Researchers found profound behavioral changes in rats that, through experimental conditions, have been trained to become dependent on high doses of sugar. Lab animals that were denied sugar for a prolonged period after learning to binge worked harder to get it when it was reintroduced to them. They consumed more sugar than they ever had before, suggesting craving and relapse behavior. … > full story

The drugs helpfully accelerate loss of fluids, but also deplete important chemicals, including potassium, so that those who take them are generally advised to eat bananas and other potassium-rich foods to counteract the effect. … > full story
