Breastfeeding can cut child deaths, save Rs 4k crore per year

https://archive.is/N5jgd

The Lancet study found that cognitive losses associated with "not'' breastfeeding, which impact earning potential, amount to $302 billion worldwide annually. Extensive marketing by formula makers remains a big barrier to increase the number of breastfed children. Low and middle-income countries lose more than $70 billion annually, while high-income countries lose more than $230 billion annually due to low rates of breastfeeding.

The health benefits extend to the mother as well, with reductions in risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Based on all the existing research and according to new estimates created for this report, rise in breastfeeding could prevent extra 20,000 deaths from breast cancer each year globally. For India, considering the 7% protection provided by breastfeeding, it translates to preventing 4,915 deaths annually out of 70,000 deaths that occur now.

India has estimated obesity of 20% and breastfeeding provides 26% protection. Increasing breastfeeding could therefore provide 5.2 % reduction in obesity. This could be a useful addition to the effort towards control of non-communicable diseases.

India has a national law - Infant Milk Substitutes Feeding Bottles, and Infant Foods (Regulation of Production, Supply and Distribution) Act - that has placed restrictions on sales of milk substitutes. However, there has been very little awareness created on the benefits of breastfeeding over the years.

Sex ratio worsens in small families, improves with 3 or more children

This, says Kulkarni, indicates a strengthening of the mentality of son preference that is driving the whole calculus.

Sex-selective abortions, with all the legal fencing, are still prevalent and may be used to determine the first and especially second births. The overall sex ratio is primarily affected by such illegal praPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Expressing concern over the sustainability of small farms, Agriculture minister Radha Mohan Singh on Saturday said 91 per cent of the total farm holding would belong to small and marginal farmers by 2030.

>According to the Agriculture Census, the total number of operational holdings in India numbered 138.35 million with an average size of 1.15 hectares. Of the total holdings, 85 per cent are in marginal and small farm categories of less than 2 hectares, Singh said.

>"These small farms, though operating only on 44 per cent of land under cultivation, are the main providers of food and nutritional security to the nation, but have limited access to technology, inputs, credit, capital and markets," Singh said.

>He was speaking at the national convention on challenges in agriculture and future strategies for sustainability at Jabalpur.

>Though small and marginal farmers have higher productivity compared with large-sized holdings, they have low marketable surplus and profit.

About

“देसीgnated Shitting Streets” is a catchphrase used to mock India’s open defecation issues, which is employed on some online communities like 4chan in order to make fun of Indian users, also being used as गंदगी पोस्टिंग practise. An associated catchphrase, “Poo in the Loo”, has been used in similar way.

Origin

The earliest use of the phrase comes from a 4chan’s international board /int/ thread submitted on July 13th, 2015, where an Indian user complained about the “India smells bad and is dirty” jokes, claiming that people only defecates on “देसीgnated shitting streets” and not everywhere. That statement was consequently mocked in the thread and several compilations of reactions from users were made. The earliest archived use of the phrase can be found on a post from the politicaly incorrect board /pol/ from July 22nd, 2015.[1]

In what could be an alarming fallout of air pollution, top cancer doctors say they have noted a significant rise in lung cancer among non-smokers in recent years. Roughly one in every five persons diagnosed with the disease does not smoke, they said.

"Till about a decade ago, less than 10% of all lung cancer patients were non-smokers. This percentage has now gone up to around 20%, which is significantly high. Rising pollution levels may be playing a role," said Dr P K Julka, professor of oncology at AIIMS, on the eve of World Cancer Day.

Dr Vinod Raina, director of medical oncology at Fortis Memorial, affirmed the trend. "The link between lung cancer and air pollution is a conjecture but it is being seen in studies conducted worldwide. Further research is needed to prove the cause and effect relation between the two," he said.

Dr Randeep Guleria, professor and head of pulmonology division at AIIMS, recounted a case to underline the trend. "A few years ago, I diagnosed a young woman in her late 30s with lung cancer. She was a non-smoker. Throughout her treatment, she kept saying, 'Why me?' Such cases are becoming more common now," he said.

"The role of air pollution in metros such as Delhi as a risk factor cannot be ruled out," Guleria added.

According to figures released by the Delhi Cancer Registry, lung cancer cases have shown the highest spurt among all cancers afflicting men, going up from 14 cases per 1,00,000 population in 2008 to 15.5 per 100,000 population in 2010.

Delhi Cancer Registry data shows lung cancer cases have been increasing among women too — from 4.2 cases per 1,00,000 population in 2008 to 4.6 in 2010. DCR, which compiles data from all big hospitals in Delhi, is yet to release data beyond 2010.

While the data is based on cases in Delhi, doctors said it represents a wider trend because a significant number of cancer patients being treated in city hospitals are from outside.

In 2013, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the specialised cancer agency of the World Health Organisation (WHO), classified outdoor Post too long. Click here to view the full text.
