Pro's of Circumcision

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:24:25 GMT

Uncircumcised dicks are high maintenance. They must be cleaned regularly to prevent dick-cheese build-up, infection and possibly cancer. Normally this isn't a problem. Roll it back in the shower, soap it up, rinse it out and you're good to go.

Secondly, uncircumcised dicks tend to harbor communicable venereal diseases more than their snipped counterparts. HIV infects and is transmitted at twice the rate in uncircumcised men. Ditto for human papillomavirus (HPV) which can cause cervical cancer.

The third argument for circumcision is cultural.

In the American mid-west the infant circumcision rate is 80 percent. The number one reason cited: "Wanting son to look like dad," followed closely by "Don't want son to feel different from peers."

women express a strong preference for the penises they're used to. French women may prefer their foreskins intact, but in the American mid-west women want their penises like their men: clean-cut.

BROCCOLI better than CERVICAL CANCER VACCINE

The Cervical Cancer Vaccine may Not Work, but Broccoli Does

Cervical cancer is very slow growing and is generally treatable with minor interventions when caught early; hence, pap smears have been recommended as a routine part of an annual physical exam for decades. But a paradigm shift in cervical cancer thought occurred in 1984 when it was discovered that the Human Papilloma Virus causes cervical cancer. Drug researchers immediately went to work on a vaccine and their dream came true when Gardasil, the first cervical cancer vaccine, was released in 2006. A disease mostly controlled with routine screenings became the new public health threat that immediately required mandatory vaccinations for every young woman in the US, whether at risk or not.

Soy estrogens and breast cancer: Researcher offers overview

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Are soy products healthy additions to a person’s diet, safe alternatives to hormone-replacement therapy or cancer-causing agents? The answer, according to University of Illinois food science and human nutrition professor William Helferich, is, “It depends.”

“The resolution of this paradox may lie in the timing of estrogen administration,” Helferich said. Exposure to genistein, an estrogen, before puberty causes mammary gland differentiation. “A differentiated cell undergoes less proliferation and therefore is less likely to progress through the cancer process,” he said. “However, if the estrogen is administered to an animal after the development of an estrogen-responsive tumor, the growth of this tumor will be stimulated,” he said.

Lipstick; linked to Cancer

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:30:00 GMT

clipped by: xpersianx

Clip Source: decideforyourself.wordpress.com

Lipstick contains lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer. The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer.

Lead is a potent neurotoxin linked to a variety of health and reproductive problems, including learning language and behavioral problems. Lead is also linked to infertility and miscarriage.

Pregnant women and young children are particularly vulnerable to exposure because lead easily crosses the placenta and enters the fetal brain, where it interferes with normal development.

Lead has been eliminated from paint, gasoline and many other products for good reason and now we must demad lead-free cosmetics.

Lipstick brands that contain lead are:

Christian Dior

Lancome

Clinique

Y.S.L.

Estee Lauder

Shiseido

Red Earth (lip gloss)

Chanel (lip conditioner)

After doing a test on lipsticks it was found that the Y.S.L lipstick contained the most amount of lead.

Watchout for the lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer it is

Healthy Monday: Canada Joins Meatless Monday Movement

clipper's remarks: Could this happen here in the biggest meat consuming countries in the world? Don’t we care enough about our health to cut meat out of our diets at least one day a week? Most of our health costs stem from eating red meat. Most of our food costs stem from feeding cattle. Doesn’t it make economic as well as heatlh sense to cut down on our red meat consumption?

The global Meatless Monday movement continues to gain momentum. Britain, Brazil, Holland, Finland and Taiwan have already launched their programs. Now, we’d like to welcome the wonderful people of Canada and congratulate them as they begin their own Meatless Monday!

The Canadian Meatless Monday launched at this year’s Taste of Health convention in Vancouver, Canada. Taste of Health is an opportunity for those concerned with healthy, environmentally friendly food to come together. The convention’s 6,000 attendees welcomed Meatless Monday with open arms.

Unlike many of the solutions to global warming that require government action, Meatless Monday is a tangible personal action that every Canadian can easily embrace. More greenhouse gasses can be prevented by going meatless one day a week than by eating locally seven days a week.

The Mediterranean Diet, a healthy lifestyle

admin | Valencia | 11 11th, 2009| Edit| No Comments »

Atkins, weight watchers, detox, macrobiotic…our society is obsessed with healthy food and dieting. But a lot of times these diets are too demanding for our body, or even unhealthy. But what if we tell you that there is diet, a lifestyle even, with nothing but positive effects? Welcome to southern Europe, embrace the Mediterranean way of life!

Experts, nutritionists and scientists all agree: the Mediterranean diet, the typical food of Spain and Greece, is one of the healthiest in the world. Are we ready to talk numbers? You are 30% less likely to develop depression and the risk of cancer is reduced by 22%. It protects you from diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, helps to slow Alzheimer’s, and has a positive effect on children who suffer from asthma and allergies. So what is it exactly that these people eat?

clipper's remarks: Thyroid cancer is cancer of the thyroid gland. This gland makes thyroid hormone and is located in the front of the neck. Tumors of the thyroid gland often appear as bumps in the neck, called nodules. In most cases, thyroid nodules are not cancerous. Those that are cancerous have the potential to spread throughout the body.

Men are more likely to divorce a spouse diagnosed with cancer than are women, according to a study of partner abandonment co-authored by a Seattle cancer specialist.

Researchers were surprised that when a woman was the cancer patient, she was likely to be abandoned by her spouse 20.8 percent of the time. When the man was the patient, the study said, he was likely to be abandoned less than 3 percent of the time. Overall the divorce rate, confirmed as in other studies, was 11.6 percent.

A 15-YEAR-old Brisbane schoolgirl was suspended for shaving her head to raise money for vital cancer research

her father is battling leukemia.

He underwent a bone marrow transplant a few weeks ago but has been given only a few months to live.

Ms Pridham decided to shave her head as part of a fundraiser for cancer research.

"Basically my way of coping is to try and help other people going through the same thing," she said.

Ms Pridham said she has been banned from Mount Alvernia College until her hair grows back.

Barbara Pridham said she supports her daughter's fundraising decision.

"I am just appalled that she could be suspended by a Catholic school that promotes joy, respect and community spirit," she said.

Mount Alvernia College released a statement to Channel Nine News that said Ms Pridham had breached the college's uniform guidelines and had been suspended because of "ongoing issues".
