Jillian Michaels Criticized for Anti-Pregnancy Comments

Jillian at a recent event.
Craig Barritt/WireImage.com"The Biggest Loser" trainer Jillian Michaels is getting some interesting feedback for comments she made in Women's Health magazine about the reasons she plans to adopt, rather than give birth to, children. "I'm going to adopt. I can't handle doing that to my body," Michaels told the magazine. "Also, when you rescue something, it's like rescuing a part of yourself."



While the trainer, who famously overcame childhood obesity to become one of the most successful fitness gurus of all time, isn't known for her tact -- she has occasionally resorted to name-calling in her attempts to motivate contestants on "The Biggest Loser" -- her comments about pregnancy have led to concern about how they might influence other women.



It's unlikely that Michaels' comments will lead to any major spike in adoption or a drop in pregnancy rates, but some experts are wondering how the comments of a high-profile fitness expert might be received.



FOX News consulted a few experts who have not worked with Michaels, including Dr. Leslie Seppinni, a Los Angeles-based family therapist and clinical psychologist. "She is teaching people about body image and self-esteem," she said. "Women have children all the time and get right back in shape, particularly if they exercise. If this is how she truly feels, she should seek counsel before coaching others on issues of body image."

However, another expert points out that, unlike most women, Michaels depends on being in extraordinary physical shape for her career. Beverly Hills psychologist Dr. Haleh Stahl told Fox News: "I think it's different for a person who doesn't rely on the shape of their body for their livelihood. This is what she's known for, and she's in the business of inspiring others to get in shape."



This isn't the first time Michaels has spurred controversy. Last October, she angered some fans of Oprah Winfrey when, in an interview with Health Magazine, she called the queen of daytime talk "someone [who] I think is utterly misguided...She says she had a thyroid problem and ate soy, and I'm like, how? Where is Dr. Oz? She's just so misinformed, it is shocking to me on a daily basis. Soy is terrible for you [if you have thyroid issues]."



Coincidentally, it's Oprah herself whom Michaels wants to replace, and she's hoping to have her own daytime talk show by 2011, telling Women's Health: "That's exactly when Oprah goes off the air. [I've] been waiting for that moment. And now that moment is happening."

The Double Down sandwich: Delicious or disgusting?

Delicious! Looks like junk food heaven.
Disgusting! I wouldn't touch this thing.
I'm not really sure.

The fried chicken franchise is rolling out a new "sandwich" with no bread - and extra meat.

The "Double Down" is two fried filets that cradle two pieces of bacon, two slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and a squish of Colonel's Sauce.

Feeling healthy? Go for the grilled chicken version instead. KFC initially tested the Double Down in Nebraska and Rhode Island and will fatten up menus nationwide with its new addition on April 12.

The chain is literally counting down the seconds until the supersandwich goes on sale on its Web site.

The Double Down isn't the unhealthiest fast food out there, but it's probably got enough sodium to draw salty tears from sodium-battling Mayor Bloomberg.

The "original recipe" Double Down has 540 calories, 32 grams of fat and 1,380 milligrams of sodium. The grilled version has 460 calories, 23 grams of fat and a whopping 1,430 milligrams of sodium. Most health groups recommend a maximum intake of 1,500 to 2,400 milligrams a day.

New Yorkers weren't all ready to gobble down a Double Down. "Sounds disgusting," said Danielle Mitchell, 31, a student from midtown. "I don't see how that's healthy. I mean, the bread is probably not healthy, but that's a lot of meat with the chicken and the bacon. I don't think it's good."

Giada Ferrone, 35, a dance teacher from the upper West Side agreed. "I'm a vegetarian. It's pretty gross if you ask me. Even if I did eat meat, I wouldn't eat that."

Cari Gervino of Essex County, N.J., counts herself a taker. "Sounds delicious, and I actually don't eat bread," said the 24-year-old teacher and distance runner. "If I was really in the mood for something unhealthy, I would definitely buy it."

Tom Everard, 24, a tourist from Manchester, England, was just plain perplexed. "I'm so confused by it. It's not a sandwich without bread. What's next? It's a slippery slope."

The quick Cure for plantar fasciitis!!

I'm not a doctor- But had plantar fascitis so bad 3 years ago, It took me 30 mintues or more to get out of bed, it was so hurtful. I went to a foot doctor, OK some foot doctor's might be good this one sucked. His first option was Corticosteroid injections which deliver medicine into the injured fascia to reduce pain. The first time this happen I was better in 24 hours, I loved this doctor. I had to have two more in each foot. Pain never got better and his next option was surgry. I was working retail and being off my foot that long wasn't an option. SO I started to do reseachr. I found out the shots were considered a last resuort and this treatment may weaken the plantar fascia and result in further damage and some doctor willn't even do it. I found a pill you can by at Wal-Mart Its called CoQ10. Its was a whole list of things it can help you for, But it has given me a healthy Plantar Fasciitis, only problem you will take it for ever- I stopped it last week to save a few $1 and I can hardly walk again. Wow. If your a walker or Runner and you get this hated word Please try it out.

According to the Mayo Clinic[35] "CoQ10 has been used, recommended, or studied for numerous conditions, but remains controversial as a treatment in many areas." Further clinical results are needed to determine whether supplementation with coenzyme Q10 is beneficial for healthy people.

[edit] Mitochondrial disorders
Supplementation of coenzyme Q10 is a treatment for some of the very rare and serious mitochondrial disorders and other metabolic disorders, where patients are not capable of producing enough coenzyme Q10 because of their disorder.[36] Coenzyme Q10 is then prescribed by a physician.[37]

[edit] Heart failure
There is some clinical evidence[38] that supplementation with coenzyme Q10 is beneficial in treatment of patients with congestive heart failure. However, The American College of Cardiology published in 2005 an expert consensus document concluding that the value of coenzyme Q10 in cardiovascular disease has not been clearly established.[39] The Mayo clinic says that there is not enough scientific evidence to recommend for or against the use of CoQ10 in patients with coronary heart disease.[35]

[edit] Migraine headaches
Supplementation of coenzyme Q10 has been found to have a beneficial effect on the condition of some sufferers of migraine headaches. So far, three studies have been done, of which two were small, did not have a placebo group, were not randomized, and were open-label,[40] and one was a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, which found statistically significant results despite its small sample size of 42 patients.[41] Dosages were 150 to 300 mg/day.

[edit] Cancer
CoQ10 is also being investigated as a treatment for cancer, and as relief from cancer treatment side-effects.[42]

[edit] Cardiac arrest
Another recent study shows a survival benefit after cardiac arrest if coenzyme Q10 is administered in addition to commencing active cooling of the body to 90–93 degrees Fahrenheit (32–34 degrees Celsius).[43]

[edit] Blood pressure
There are several reports concerning the effect of CoQ10 on blood pressure in human studies.[44] In a recent (2007) meta-analysis of the clinical trials of CoQ10 for hypertension, a research group led by Professor Frank Rosenfeldt (Director, Cardiac Surgical Research Unit, Alfred Hospital, Melbourne, Australia) reviewed all published trials of coenzyme Q10 for hypertension, and assessed overall efficacy, consistency of therapeutic action, and side-effect incidence. Meta-analysis was performed in 12 clinical trials (362 patients) comprising three randomized controlled trials, one crossover study, and eight open-label studies. The research group concluded that coenzyme Q10 has the potential in hypertensive patients to lower systolic blood pressure by up to 17 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by up to 10 mm Hg without significant side-effects.[45]

[edit] Lifespan
One study demonstrated that low dosages of coenzyme Q10 reduce oxidation and DNA double-strand breaks, and a combination of a diet rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids and coenzyme Q10 supplementation leads to a longer lifespan in rats.[46] Coles and Harris demonstrated an extension in the lifespan of rats when they were given coenzyme Q10 supplementation.[47] Another study demonstrated that coenzyme Q10 extends the lifespan of C. elegans (nematode).[48]

[edit] Radiation injury
A 2002 study reported that, in rat experiments, coenzyme Q10 taken as dietary supplement reduced radiation damage to the animals' blood.[49]
