A study found that sitting for more than 10 hours and 30 minutes a day increases the risk of death from cardiovascular disease.

This is the result of follow-up by Dr. Kurshid's team at Massachusetts General Hospital in the United States.

The group sitting for more than 10 hours and 30 minutes a day had a 45% higher risk of heart failure and 62% higher risk of cardiovascular death compared to the group sitting for 8 to 9 hours.

"Avoid sitting for more than 10 and a half hours a day could be a realistic minimum goal for improving heart health," Dr. Khurshid said.

A company and a group who mixed a small amount of goat oil with milk and sold it as if it were a 100% goat oil product were caught.

They are accused of having Indian manufacturers mix 1.5% of goat oil from April to August last year and falsely reporting it as a 100% goat oil product and bringing it into the country.

The raw material importers in question were found to have issued false test reports to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and stored normal-based wild-oil products at their business sites in preparation for the government's collection inspection.

As the number of patients with whooping cough and Mycoplasma pneumonia has soared, the government has responded to respiratory infections in winter.

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention formed and operated a joint task force of respiratory infectious disease-related ministries involving the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Ministry of Education, and the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

Ji Young-mi, head of the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, emphasized special attention to high-risk groups for whooping cough and vaccination of pregnant women and infant caregivers.

In addition, Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is also prevalent, issuing epidemic warnings and applying salaries to rapid antigen tests to induce tests.

From January next year, a six-valent mixed vaccine will be introduced to prevent six infectious diseases at the same time in national vaccinations for children.

The hexavalent mixed vaccine is a new vaccine that can prevent hepatitis B in addition to the five infectious diseases that can be prevented with the existing pentavalent mixed vaccine: diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, and type b hemophilus influenza.

If a 6-valent mixed vaccine is introduced, the six infectious disease vaccinations required six times when the existing 5-valent mixed vaccine is reduced to four times.

While deaths occurred after eating carrots contaminated with E. coli in the United States, it was found that the carrot in question did not enter Korea.

The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety said that American carrots have not been imported into Korea in the last two years.

He also explained that imported frozen vegetables on the market sometimes contain some American carrots, but carrots that caused E. coli problems did not come in, and all bacterial tests were completed during import customs clearance.
