DEEPA MEHTAS HEAVEN ON EARTH

HEAVEN on Earth is partly based, demanded that DEEPA MEHTA be given more prominence in the film's publicity. The filmmaker finally succeeded in telling her that it was not just her story, but that of hundreds of NRI wives.
Amandeep Kaur, a woman from Punjab who became a victim of spousal abuse after getting married to a man settled in Toronto, demanded that she get more visibility just months ahead of the movie's release.
at the turn of events, Mehta knocked off all mention of Amandeep from the film on domestic violence that has Preity Zinta in the lead role. But the two did succeed in making peace after a long chat.
"We decided to sit and talk about our problems. Matters have been sorted out with Amandeep. She's back being a proud part of our project. My problem with Amandeep's claim was that Heaven On Earth is not only her story. It's also the story of another abused wife, Mona Gill," said Mehta.
"Amandeep refused to accept that Heaven On Earth was any other woman's story. She claimed it's entirely her story. That was nonsense. How could she claim the entire plot to be hers when half the film is based on Girish Karnad's play Naag Mandala? Heaven On Earth is also the story of hundreds of migrant wives who step into marriages with NRIs without knowing what's in store," the filmmaker explained.

SOYA REDUCED THE RISK OF CANCER

THE women who ate a lot of soy as children had a 58 percent reduced risk of developing breast cancer, US researchers said on Monday in a finding that suggests soy may have a protective effect.
"Childhood soy intake was significantly associated with reduced breast cancer risk in our study," said Dr. Larissa Korde of the National Cancer Institute, whose study appears in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers and Prevention.
Historically, breast cancer rates among white women in the United States are four to seven times higher than in women in China or Japan, Regina Ziegler of the National Cancer Institute said in a statement.
But when Asian women emigrate to the United States, their risk for breast cancer rises over several generations, suggesting something other than genetics was at play. Korde and colleagues checked to see if diet or other lifestyle factors could explain the differences.

IS YOUR BABY IS HEALTHY

GENETIC disorders IN infants are caused when the body lacks certain necessary chemicals or when it is unable to break down chemicals in the body which then accumulates and turn toxic। “This toxic build up can lead to slow physical development or brain damage and in some cases, even death। Most इन्फंट्स will show no obvious symptoms but the toxic build up can be rapid enough for the condition to become irreversible within a few days of birth,” says Dr Anjali Mathur, neonatologist, Moolchand Medcity।
In India, health care professionals believe that at least 100 out of 1000 infant deaths are caused by genetic disorders, a fifth of which could have been prevented by early detection. “Newborns can look healthy to the untrained eye but may have a number of underlying serious diseases that are genetically passed on by the parents. If left undetected and untreated, these diseases, aggravated by improper diets and reactive medication can lead to slow growth, mental retardation, brain damage and in some cases can prove to be labs.
