Like many women, I’ve felt guilty about my slipshod breast exams for years. Sure, I’ll give the girls a good once-over in the shower now and then, but I’ve never diligently gone through all the motions (circular and otherwise), month in and month out.
So it was with a certain amount of relief that I read a new analysis confirming that the breast self-exam (or BSE) truly doesn’t make much of a difference after all. Read More
Dairy products from cows treated with Monsanto's genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rBGH or rBST) could sharply increase the risk of cancer and other diseases, especially in children.
The chemicals are already banned in most industrialized nations, and it was approved in the United States on the backs of fired whistleblowers, manipulated research, and a corporate takeover at the FDA. This film (split into two parts above) includes footage prepared for a Fox TV segment that was canceled after a letter from Monsanto's attorney threatened "dire consequences."

Scientists are beginning to detect antibiotic-resistant bacteria in pork, pigs and some veterinarians, raising the issue of whether these so-called superbugs might find a new route to infect farmworkers or even people who eat pork.

I sit in the glass-walled nurses' station, waiting for my day to begin. A steady stream of people — all living with obsessive-compulsive disorder, or OCD — approach the half door and utter some variation of "I have to go to the bathroom." The attractive young woman on duty smiles and hands over a small quantity of toilet paper, a squirt of soap in a specimen cup, and a paper towel with a cheery "Here you are!" This is what grade school must have seemed like to George Orwell. Read More

Phil Cole, APDo you think slathering on a high-SPF sunscreen is enough to ward off harmful sunrays? Think again, says a consumer advocacy group that found four out of five brand-name sunscreens inadequately protect users or contain ingredients that may be unsafe.
A group of Pennsylvania researchers have found that fish oil and red yeast rice reduce cholesterol better than statin drugs. The medical profession pushes statin drugs believing they can help prevent cardiovascular disease, and are now considering prescribing them to children as young as eight. But many patients refuse to take them, either because they don’t believe they are safe or because of their high cost. As many as 40 percent of patients who receive prescriptions for statin drugs take them for less than a year.Read More

These are the surprising facts. Don't shoot me, I am just reporting what our government (The CIA) and the United Nations (WHO) statistics show! I am sorry that the facts don't support the what the government and leading scientist tell us (you know like Global Warming is REAL when the facts don't support the claim?) about the physical cost of smoking. Heck, I don't even smoke! I could not find a more recent report, but that would be meaningless, in that it is during these years that smoking was blamed for many of the deaths in the USA.

figures for Japan(!), Israel, Greece, Cuba and Spain very interesting. How could three countries with smoking prevalence's of 45-59% show up in the Top 15 at all?
The percentage of Japanese smokers is 2.7 times higher than that of the Swedes, but an average Japanese still lives one year longer!
In a study that followed nearly 1,000 older Finnish men for five years, researchers found that those who were regularly having sex at the start of the study were at lower risk of developing erectile dysfunction (ED) by the study's end.
In fact, the more often the men had sex, the lower their ED risk. MORE

MICE STUDY YIELDS CLUES ON LONGEVITY
By Sandy Kleffman
It's not exactly a fountain of youth, but a substance found in red wine, grapes and nuts can prevent many age-related problems in mice, an intriguing new study reveals.
The substance, resveratrol, led to healthier hearts, better bone density, fewer cataracts and greater motor coordination in the animals.MORE
ALSO:
A compound in red wine may ward off a variety of medical conditions related to aging, providing heart benefits, stronger bones and preventing eye cataracts, researchers said on Thursday.
The study, involving mice fed a diet supplemented with resveratrol starting in their equivalent of middle age, is the latest to raise hope that the compound or drugs based on it may improve the health of people.
Most of mice given resveratrol did not live longer than other mice but were far more healthy in several important measures, according to the study published in the journal Cell Metabolism.MORE
Frequent ejaculations have been associated with a lower risk for prostate cancer. Some experts speculate that certain carcinogens may be concentrated in prostate fluid, so that frequent ejaculation helps eliminate them....A recent study, however, suggested a linear trend between red wine consumption and reduced risk of prostate cancer. In a study of over 1,400 newly diagnosed middle-aged patients with prostate cancer, researchers found that each additional glass of red wine consumed per week reduced the relative risk of prostate cancer by 6%....Research indicates that docosahexanoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaneoic acid (EPA), the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, may be protective against prostate cancer. Some studies have reported a lower risk for prostate cancer in men who ate fish frequently (two or more times a week). ...

After years of quiet discussion among scientists, hints that cigarettes can protect against some diseases or improve the outcome of others have led to growing interest in finding out why. This has focused attention on nicotine, tobacco's most active ingredient, as a potential treatment for several major health problems, including Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases. MORE
Eicosapentaenoic acid, or EPA -- the essential omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid abundant in oily fish -- may help protect stroke patients from suffering a second stroke, a Japanese study shows.
In a study of people with high cholesterol who were taking a low dose of a cholesterol-lowering "statin," researchers found that adding EPA did not reduce the occurrence of a first stroke but did lower recurrence rates in those with a history of stroke. MORE
Plans to ban dozens of pesticides will lead to more food shortages and send prices rising further, it was claimed yesterday.
A directive being proposed by the European Commission is designed to reduce the level of toxic chemicals in food.
It would lead to a ban on 15 per cent of pesticides, it has been estimated.
European plans to ban potentially dangerous pesticides will lead to more food shortages and send prices soaring even further, scientists have warned
Dr Ian Denholm, of Rothamsted Research Institute in Hertfordshire, said the ban was politically motivated and would have ' genuinely alarming' consequences, including pushing up food prices.
But anti-pesticide campaigners accused the scientists of scare mongering, and said the new rules were a sensible "precautionary move" that would protect people's health. More
Gran ... gives birth to twins
Barcroft India / Barcroft Media
PENSIONER who became world’s oldest mother at 66 has been diagnosed with cancer
A 70-YEAR-OLD Indian woman has become the world’s oldest mum after giving birth to twins.
Omkari Panwar, the wife of a retired farmer, delivered a boy and girl by caesarean section on Friday.
The frail pensioner, who has two adult daughters and five grandchildren, underwent IVF treatment to produce a male heir to the family’s smallholdings.
Mum ... Omkari Panwar, 70
Her husband, Charan Singh Panwar, 77, mortgaged his land, sold his buffalos, spent his life savings and took out a credit card loan to finance the treatment.
“At last we have a son and heir,” he said. “We prayed to God, went to saints and visited religious places to pray for an heir.
“We kept no stone unturned and God has rewarded us. The treatment cost me a fortune but the birth of a son makes it all worthwhile. I can die a happy man and a proud father.” More....
