Girls who eat more peanut butter could improve their breast health later in life. That's according to a study from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Harvard Medical School. The research shows that girls ages 9 to 15 who regularly ate peanut butter or nuts were 39 percent less likely to develop benign breast disease by age 30. 
Benign breast disease, although noncancerous, increases risk of breast cancer later in life. "These findings suggest that peanut butter could help reduce the risk of breast cancer in women," said senior author Graham Colditz, MD, DrPH, associate director for cancer prevention and control at Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine.

AYUSH
With the proposed Central Drug Authority (CDA) excluding the affairs of Ayush sector from its purview, the Centre is planning to bring in a new bill to govern the manufacturing, marketing and other activities of Indian streams of medicines. “There was a plan to include Ayush also under the CDA. But it did not happen. Now we are planning to draft a bill to govern the Ayush sector. 
But it will take time as many things are involved,” secretary of Ayush Department Nilanjan Sanyal confirmed to Pharmabiz. Based on the recommendations of the Mashelkar Committee, the central government introduced the Drugs and Cosmetics (Amendment) Bill, 2007 in the Rajya Sabha in August, 2007. This original bill, among other things, had sought to bring Ayush also under the CDA. This Bill was referred to the Department-related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Health and Family Welfare for examination. The committee made several recommendations including for creation of a separate chapter for regulating medical devices. Accordingly, Drugs and Cosmetics (Amendment) Bill 2013 was drafted and was tabled in Rajya Sabha last week.
