POSTED: 3:43 pm EST March 16, 2006

If Your Heel Hurts, See A Heart Doctor?

A symptom of heart disease could be found in your heel.

Researchers say a painful Achilles tendon is one of the symptoms of a genetic disorder that raises your risk for high cholesterol and heart disease, Local 4 reported.

And if your Achilles tendon hurts for no reason, visit your physician and have your cholesterol checked.

The condition causes cholesterol to build up, not only in arteries, but also in certain tendons.

Is Soymilk Really Good For Your Baby?

Ten to 20 percent of babies in the U.S. are fed soy formula because of concerns about allergies or upset stomachs, but is it safe?

Government officials are asking a panel of experts to research soymilk and if it benefits babies. Previous studies suggest that plant-based hormones found in soy baby formula may be linked to fertility problems later in life, Local 4 reported.

Pop May Be Blamed For Obesity

Pop isn't good for you, but two researchers say it could be to blame for our nation's obesity problem.
