Did you know that the consumption of meat has been linked to osteoporosis?

Did you know that the consumption of meat has been linked to osteoporosis?
It seems animal proteins are digested in our bodies in a way that is not copacetic for bone health. But, what is the scientific evidence out there: Does eating meat directly cause osteoporosis? And what can meat-eaters do to reduce these risks? One in two women and one in eight men will have an osteoporosis-related injury in their lifetime—will it be you? Read on to find out.
Proteins, Acids and Calcium
Animal proteins—beef, lamb, pork, chicken—contain sulfur that creates acid in our bodies when we digest them. A slightly acidic condition called acidosis occurs, which changes the pH of our bloodstream. One of the body’s common ways to reduce this acidity is by using calcium phosphate (which comes from our bones) to buffer the pH back to a normal range. This process of calcium coming from the bones to balance acidity caused from animal proteins is thought to cause—or contribute to—osteoporosis.
Research Supporting the Meat-Osteoporosis Connection

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) recently set out to test the effects of meat consumption on bone health. Measures they studied included acid excretion and urinary calcium—two factors that show the acidity caused by animal protein and the leaching of calcium from the body to buffer it on the way out. Researchers found, as expected, that those eating meat had more calcium leaving their bodies than the vegans in the study. The NIH concluded that this model of meat consumption could lead to a lower amount of bone formation in the meat-eaters, as well as a long-term decrease in bone density.

The Harvard School of Public Health cites a popular Nurses’ Health Study as a reference for the meat-osteoporosis connection. In this study, a large pool of participants following a high-protein (animal-based) diet was found to have weaker bones over the long-term. The school is quick to point out, however, that the studies are merely suggestive at this point, and further research needs to be done to see exactly how meat affects bone health.
Additional studies have also shown a correlation between meat consumption and compromised bone health, ranging from increased risk of hip fractures, arm fractures and increased loss of bone density. The correlation, interesting to note, is not just high protein and calcium leaching, but that of animal protein in particular. In certain studies, the bones appear to benefit by replacing some of the animal proteins with plant proteins.

What You Can Do to Protect Your Bones
As researchers have pointed out in the Journal of Nutrition, the consumption of vegetables and plant proteins safeguards against the effects of urinary calcium because of the incredible doses of nutrients they provide—antioxidants, vitamins and isoflavones, to name just a few. It appears to the researchers that the problem with animal proteins is that they tend to lack such a powerful constitution of such vital nutrients. The solution? Eat more plants.

Experts at Harvard recommend simply eating more fresh fruits and vegetables each day in order to pack in the nutrients that protect against bone loss (magnesium and potassium especially appear to be protective). And, of course, they recommend we eat fewer processed foods, if for no other reason, to get away from all of the extra sodium in them. Excess sodium intake has been linked to an increase in urinary calcium loss, so steer for fresh ingredients with few additives when dining out and shopping.

Pasteurized milk 150 times more contaminated with blood, pus and feces than fresh milk - videos the CDC won't show you

Pasteurized milk 150 times more contaminated with blood, pus and feces than fresh milk - videos the CDC won't show you
Feb 22, 2012

by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

http://www.naturalnews.com/035039_raw_milk_pasteurized_CDC.html#ixzz1n9cmSsvp
NaturalNews) The vaccine-pushing, disease scare-mongering agency known as the CDC has put out a stunning piece of propaganda attacking fresh milk (raw dairy), claiming it is "150 times more dangerous" than pasteurized milk. This is all part of their anti-American agenda to crush food freedom and criminalize fundamental farming practices upon which this very nation was founded. (Yes, George Washington and the founding fathers drank raw milk, grew hemp and even smoked a little weed as medicine.)

But what the CDC won't dare reveal to the public is the far more horrifying truth: Pasteurized dairy is produced in the dirtiest milk factories imaginable, where blood, pus, e.coli and other truly dangerous pathogens are routinely bottled into milk containers and fed to consumers.

That's the whole point of pasteurization, you see: To kill everything that might be alive in their ultra-dirty milk. The real purpose of pasteurization is not to simply "make milk safe" as is claimed by the CDC, but rather to allow the dairy industry to operate DIRTY. It's so much easier to just cook the crap out of the milk (yes, there's fecal matter in it) than to clean up their operations, get it?

Thanks to pasteurization, conventional (non-organic, non-raw) dairy operators have no need to thoroughly wash their milking machines, no need to sterilize any milk containers, no need to wash their hands, and no need to maintain a clean milking environment whatsoever. It's just total filth with festering diseased animals dying on the floor and being physically abused by the corporate dairy operators (see video links, below).
Dairy cows are routinely abused and left to suffer in total filth
Want to know how conventional (pasteurized) dairy cows are really treated? Here's something the CDC won't show you.

Watch this highly disturbing video of dairy cows being kicked, tortured, abused and injured by conventional dairy workers. This was filmed with an undercover spy cam (WARNING: DISTURBING IMAGERY):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUmtSONLhOc

When you buy pasteurized milk at the grocery store, you are supporting an industry that tortures cows and produces a dirty, filthy product!

Of course, the dairy industry would much rather force everybody to pasteurize their milk and outlaw clean raw dairy than to clean up their own act. That's the whole point of the CDC going after raw dairy: To destroy the raw dairy industry and force everyone to drink dirty, contaminated pasteurized milk that's extracted from tortured cows.

Here are some other short videos you may want to view (WARNING):

Dairy cows with injuries and infections:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrMj0oBdyWs

ABC Nightline - Dairy farm abuse:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIRshcfNLDk

So get it through your heads, folks: If you buy pasteurized, homogenized milk, you are supporting an industry of filth, torture, infected animals and dirty, dirty milk.
Blood, pus, bacteria and fecal matter - drink up, kiddies!
The reason all that milk has to be pasteurized is because it's strongly contaminated with:

• blood
• pus
• bacteria
• fecal matter

In addition, conventional dairy cows are:

• Pumped full of bovine growth hormones
• Fed masses of antibiotics
• Fed tons of GMOs such as corn and soy
• Heavily contaminated with chemical pesticides

That's what you get when you buy "Pasteurized" milk. Plus the feces in the milk, of course.

So the next time somebody gets mad at you in bumper-to-bumper traffic and they scream out the window: "EAT SH*T!" just hand them a glass of pasteurized milk. Let them drink it, huh?
The cleanest milk in the world? RAW, fresh milk!
You want to see a super clean dairy operation? Go to a raw dairy farm and check out their operation. It's the cleanest, most pristine dairy operation you'll ever find. And why? Because it has to be. If you want to produce clean, fresh dairy without pasteurization, you have to run a super clean facility with healthy cows, stringent cleanliness practices and a commitment to producing wholesome food.

Only raw milk dairies have this kind of commitment to cleanliness.

View this powerful comparison between pasteurized milk and raw milk:
http://organicpastures.com/whyraw.html

In fact, if you took a gallon of unpasteurized milk from a conventional dairy and you compared it to a gallon of unpasteurized milk from a quality-certified raw milk dairy, I have no doubt you would find that the conventional dairy has at least 150 times the level of blood, pus, feces and dangerous bacteria (if not more).

In contrast, raw milk from a reputable dairy operation such as Organic Pastures (www.OrganicPastures.com) is the cleanest milk on the planet, bar none. Sure, it has friendly bacteria in it, but that bacteria is good for you -- it's probiotics. The CDC, of course, is so clueless about infectious disease that they hate ALL bacteria and want to destroy them all with chemicals or heat.

The CDC won't dare discuss any of this, however. Instead, the CDC has resorted to what can only be called a raw milk fear mongering campaign using the exact same tactic they used to promote vaccine sales by pushing false swine flu fear.

NO alternative treatment for cancer will be acknowledged by mainstream medical TOO revenue destroying

Will Cancer ever be cured ? The ACTUAL REALITY is -"NO"

"NO alternative treatment for cancer" is going to ever be acknowledged by mainstream medical authorities or related. And this is especially true for any cancer treatment that would be cheap, safe, freely available or easy to administer.

There are literally billions of dollars (est. $200 billion) being made off of the cancer industry, along with MANY jobs.

Any change in the cancer paradigm would mean the loss of this profit stream. Thousands, if not millions of people would lose their jobs. Large, billion dollar multinational Health, Big Pharma cos. would incur massive losses, common stocks would crash along with many other assets. Media outlets would then lose the advertising cash stream from pharmaceutical/drug cos., and that means billions of dollars in advertising revenues lost. USA's medical system DOES NOT & WILL NO allow healing & curing as medical revenues would collapse !

ALL cancer entities supposedly seeking a cure would be forced to "CLOSE UP" lost salaries, advertising, retirement benefits, expense accounts, status, & MORE ! Keeping it simple or short, there are just too many people making money from the medical status quo for anyone involved to complain about the horrendous health mess or allow any intrusion to the long standing money spigot .
I Beat Stage IV Metastasized Cancer, spent 10,000 hours researching ALL illnesses, hooked up with many experts worldwide such as Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn ,Jr & his Plant Based Diet that former Pres. Bill Clinton is on and feeling better than he has in decades & @ his HIGH SCHOOL weight. Don Porter, see: donportercancer- Google search

The theory about sodium bicarbonate does make sense. Researchers all over the world have found that cancer cells do tend to favor/require an acidic pH environment. In fact, cancer cells cannot function in an alkaline environment. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) is known to be a powerful buffering agent, and also works to alkalize the body, thereby getting rid of acidic conditions in the body. In fact, when the sodium bicarbonate hits the cancer cells, the alkalinity also brings a burst of oxygen into them. From previous information, we know that tumor cells do not like oxygen, and that they function off of anaerobic respiration. Cancer cells die in the presence of high oxygen levels. The medical establishment does not like substances like sodium bicarbonate because it is safe, cheap, widely available and highly effective against cancer.
Even if sodium bicarbonate is only slightly effective against cancer, it is not dangerous or poisonous like chemotherapy drugs, radiation therapy or surgery. In a worst case scenario, no harm would be done by the use of baking soda as a cancer treatment. Baking soda (pH of 9+) does not require a prescription, is available from your local grocery store or drug store, and is many times safer than chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The only thing to be careful of with sodium bicarbonate is that it should not be taken when you recently eaten (2 hours from food), as it can & does produce gas & alter the pH of your stomach etal for ideal digestion, which can damage the stomach. You really owe it to yourself and to your loved ones to learn more about sodium bicarbonate, as it is a wonderful substance that is really a natural part of the body.
What does it mean for a solution to be acidic or basic (alkaline)?
It all has to do with hydrogen ions (abbreviated with the chemical symbol H+). In water (H2O), a small number of the molecules dissociate (split up). Some of the water molecules lose a hydrogen and become hydroxyl ions (OH−). The "lost" hydrogen ions join up with water molecules to form hydronium ions (H3O+). For simplicity, hydronium ions are referred to as hydrogen ions H+. In pure water, there are an equal number of hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions. The solution is neither acidic or basic.
An acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions. Because of this, when an acid is dissolved in water, the balance between hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions is shifted. Now there are more hydrogen ions than hydroxyl ions in the solution. This kind of solution is acidic.
A base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions. When a base is dissolved in water, the balance between hydrogen ions and hydroxyl ions shifts the opposite way. Because the base "soaks up" hydrogen ions, the result is a solution with more hydroxyl ions than hydrogen ions. This kind of solution is alkaline.
Acidity and alkalinity are measured with a logarithmic scale called pH. Here's why: a strongly acidic solution can have one hundred million million (100,000,000,000,000) times more hydrogen ions than a strongly basic solution! The flip side, of course, is that a strongly basic solution can have 100,000,000,000,000 times more hydroxide ions than a strongly acidic solution. Moreover, the hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion concentrations in everyday solutions can vary over that entire range.
In order to deal with these large numbers more easily, scientists use a logarithmic scale, the pH scale. Each one-unit change in the pH scale corresponds to a ten-fold change in hydrogen ion concentration. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. It's a lot easier to use a logarithmic scale instead of always having to write down all those zeros! By the way, notice how one hundred million million is a one with fourteen zeros after it? It's not coincidence, it's logarithms! To be more precise, pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration: pH = log 1/[H+ = −log [H+]] .

The statistics show that no more people are surviving now than 25 years ago. Both chemotherapy and radiation injure the immune system which is vital for surviving cancer.

The cancer cartel has no interest in curing cancer because chemotherapy drugs are an enormously profitable product for the pharmaceutical industry. An important clue proving that there is no sincere interest in curing cancer is provided by the fact that only .5% (one half of one percent) of the dollars spent on cancer research is spent on research directed at stopping the spread[2] of cancer (metastases). When a cancer fails to spread the patient can live many comfortable years in an uneventful manner.

Studies show junk foods change brain chemistry and are addictive like cocaine

Studies show junk foods change brain chemistry and are addictive like cocaine

Mon., Dec. 26, 2011 by: Donald J. Porter, a MAN that Beat Stage IV Cancer -(NO Chemo or Radiation), did a PLANT BASE DIET similar to Bill Clinton's Dr. Esselstyn diet. Much data from Bloomberg Business Week, Natural News, Robert Langreth, Duane D. Stanford
A growing body of medical research at leading universities and government laboratories suggests that processed foods and sugary drinks made by the likes of PepsiCo Inc. and Kraft Foods Inc. aren’t simply unhealthy. They can hijack the brain in ways that resemble addictions to cocaine, nicotine and other drugs.
“Available compelling data is so overwhelming the violators, politicians & even regulators have to accept it,” said Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. “We are finding tremendous overlap between drugs in the brain and food in the brain.”

Is gorging on a bag of nacho cheese-flavored corn chips, or a Hostess Chocolate Pudding Pie, 1 pie 520 calories, 45 g sugars, 24 g fat (14 g saturated, 1.5 g trans) for instance, the same as snorting a line of cocaine? A number of scientific studies, many of which were conducted within the past year, have found that junk food addiction is essentially the same as cocaine addiction, at least as far as the brain is concerned.

Bloomberg Businessweek reports on a plethora of recent data that identifies junk food addiction as being just as serious as drug addiction. High-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), monosodium glutamate (MSG), hydrogenated oils, refined salt, and various other chemical preservatives found in processed junk food does the same thing to a person's brain as cocaine does.

A 2010 study conducted by scientists at Scripps Research Institute (SRI) in Florida found that rats given free access to Hormel Foods Corp. bacon, Sara Lee Corp. pound cake, The Cheesecake Factory Inc. cheesecake, and Pillsbury Co. Creamy Supreme cake frosting, experienced significant changes in brain activity and function -- and these changes mirrored those that occur in the brains of drug addicts.

Another study conducted by researchers at both the University of Texas in Austin (UT) and the Oregon Research Inst. found that prolonged consumption of junk foods results in reduced activity in the striatum, a section of the forebrain that registers reward. In other words, just like with illicit drugs, those addicted to junk food require ever-increasing amounts of it to get the same "high."

"The data is so overwhelming the field has to accept it," said Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) concerning the findings. "We are finding tremendous overlap between drugs in the brain and food in the brain." In a correlative study, researchers identified a similarity in dopamine production levels between drug addicts and junk food addicts. Addiction to either one essentially causes the brain receptors that receive dopamine signals to lose their responsiveness. As a result, addicts require increasing amounts of the addictive substance to receive the same level of satisfaction.

Since processed foods, along with many "Fast Foods & Fried Foods" are loaded with synthetic chemical additives, they are technically drugs themselves. So it is no wonder that millions of people around the world are addicted to them.

The idea that food may be addictive was barely on scientists’ radar a decade ago. Now the field is heating up. Lab studies have found sugary drinks and fatty foods can produce addictive behavior in animals. Brain scans of obese people and compulsive eaters, meanwhile, reveal disturbances in brain reward circuits similar to those experienced by drug abusers.
28 scientific studies and papers on food addiction have been in 2011, according to a National Library of Medicine database. As the evidence expands, the science of addiction could become a game changer for the $1 trillion food and beverage industries. I am in favor or legal actions ie: similar to the Tobacco law suits. If fatty foods and snacks and drinks sweetened with sugar and high fructose corn syrup are proven to be addictive, food cos. may face the most drawn-out consumer safety battle since the anti-smoking movement took on the tobacco industry a generation ago.
“This could change the legal landscape,” said Kelly Brownell, director of Yale Univ. Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity and a proponent of anti-obesity regulation. “People knew for a long time cigarettes were killing people, but it was only later they learned about nicotine and the intentional manipulation of it.” Food is made to look-smell-taste good, be addictive & Last a Long time, all with Chemicals to maximize revenues & profits! Do Food cos. intentional manipulate chemicals for profit ?
FUN FOR YOU -- Revenue/Profit driven (also stock options, bonuses) a Must for Food co. execs and lobbyists are quick to counter that nothing has been proven, that nothing is wrong with what PepsiCo, CEO Indra Nooyi calls “fun-for- you” foods, if eaten in moderation. In fact, the cos. say they’re making big strides toward offering consumers a wide range of healthier snacking options. Nooyi, for one, is as well known for calling attention to PepsiCo’s progress offering healthier fare as she is for driving sales.

Coca-Cola Co., PepsiCo, Northfield, Illinois-based Kraft and Kellogg Co. of Battle Creek, Michigan, declined to grant interviews with their scientists.
No one disputes that obesity is a fast growing global problem. In the U.S., 1/3 of adults and 17% of teens and children are obese, and those numbers are increasing. Across the globe, from Latin America, to Europe to Pacific Island nations, obesity rates are also climbing. Stay away from Fried Foods also !
Heart problems & Cancer are a National Disaster ! Chemicalized foods in our diets are the MAIN CAUSE, along with too many FRIED Foods !
Bill Clinton has made the required change to a Plant Based Diet by Dr. Esselstyn
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqvjCIKoo8M --- Wolf Blitzer & Bill Clinton
http://sanjayguptamd.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/29/sanjay-gupta-reports-the-last-heart-attack/
Cost to Society - The cost to society is enormous. A 2009 study of 900,000 people, published in The Lancet, found that moderate obesity reduces life expectancy by 2-4 years, while severe obesity shortens life expectancy by as much as 10 years. Obesity has been shown to boost the risk of heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and stroke, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The costs of treating illness associated with obesity were estimated at $147 billion in 2008, according to a 2009 study in Health Affairs.
Sugars and fats, of course, have always been present in the human diet and our bodies are programmed to crave them. What has changed is modern processing that creates food with concentrated levels of sugars, unhealthy fats and refined flour, without redeeming levels of fiber or nutrients, obesity experts said. Consumption of large quantities of those processed foods may be changing the way the brain is wired.
Will Food cos. execs. do ANYTHING with chemicals to make their foods look-smell-taste good & las a VERY long time ?
A Lot Like Addiction - Those changes look a lot like addiction to some experts. Addiction “is a loaded term, but there are aspects of the modern diet that can elicit behavior that resembles addiction,” said David Ludwig, a Harvard researcher and director of the New Balance Foundation Obesity Prevention Center at Children’s Hospital Boston. Highly processed foods may cause rapid spikes and declines in blood sugar, increasing cravings,
his research has found.

Education, diets and drugs to treat obesity have proven largely ineffective and the new science of obesity may explain why, proponents say. Constant stimulation with tasty, calorie-laden foods may desensitize the brain’s circuitry, leading people to consume greater quantities of junk food to maintain a constant state of pleasure.

About 80% of Purchase, NY-based PepsiCo’s marketing budget, for instance, is directed toward pushing salty snacks and sodas. Although cos. are quick to point to their healthier offerings, their top execs are constantly called upon to reassure investors those sales of snack foods and sodas are showing steady growth. “We want to see profit growth and revenue growth,” said Tim Hoyle, director of research at Haverford Trust Co. in Radnor, PA, an investor in PepsiCo, the world’s largest snack-food maker. “The health foods are good for headlines but when it gets down to it, the growth drivers are the comfort foods, the Tostitos and the Pepsi-Cola.”
Little wonder that the food ind. is pushing hard on the idea that the best way to get a handle on obesity is through voluntary measures and by offering healthier choices. The same tactic worked for awhile, decades ago, for the tobacco industry, which deflected attention from the health risks and addictive nature of cigarettes with “low tar and nicotine” marketing.

• DO NOT accept the Primary Western medical treatments -Surgery, Chemo, Radiation & Drugs until you carefully consider these books & my experiences, the cause of diseases etc. is critical. (Chemo kills cells Indiscriminately)

Consider the following:
• There are known things that we know .
• There are things that we know that we don’t know.
• PROBLEM -There are things that we don’t “EVEN” know that we don’t know

Must utilize our underappreciated, Immune System that, basically, is the same as everyone else’s - Therefore, what I accomplished - so can ANYONE !
I determined that we all enjoy a body that is a miraculous machine that must be "aligned properly" with a quality diet, exercise, quality liquids, deep breathing, organic foods, & minimum stress, in a FAST paced society, along with some occasional “TLC”.
• If we don’t align car’s front end – tires wear until we correct the CAUSE of tire wear. Must align our bodies with Organic Plant Based Diets.!
• If we put gasoline in a diesel car or diesel in a gasoline car – They won’t run
• No oil/grease in car – what happens? - Problems?

Common Food Items Could Contain 180 Times More Fluoride Than Tap Water

Common Food Items Could Contain 180 Times More Fluoride Than Tap Water
Feb 7, 2012

Fluoridated tap water and toothpaste are oftentimes considered the main sources of fluoride exposure, but it turns out that common food items could actually be largely contributing to your fluoride intake. According to fluoride expert Jeff Green, who has been actively protesting and studying the effects of fluoride on the body for other 15 years, one common food product contains up to 180 times more fluoride than your fluoridated tap water!

According to Green, the culprit is non-organic food, but not just one kind. If you’re still eating conventionally-farmed food products, you may be unknowingly exposing yourself to extreme levels of fluoride. Green says this is made possible by fluoride going incognito within the food supply in a very concerning way:

• “Cryolite is actually sodium aluminum fluoride… This sodium aluminum fluoride is especially effective at killing bugs,” Green says. “It’s also very sticky, so when they spray it, it’s more likely to stick on your produce, unless you’re… really working at trying to get it off of it.”
• Fluoride-Based Pesticide Contaminating Food Staples
• While Green states that a large number of non-organic produce items can contain shocking levels of this fluoride-based pesticide, iceberg lettuce may be one of the largest offenders. In fact, iceberg lettuce can now be laced with a startling 180 parts per million (ppm) of fluoride – 180 times higher than the ‘recommended’ water fluoridation level. This ‘health’ food could actually be corroding your body with heavy levels of fluoride. But what other seemingly-healthy produce items contain high amounts of fluoride?
• Citrus fruits are actually allowed to contain 95 ppm’s of sodium fluoride.
• Potatoes can have as much as 22 ppm’s on the outside, and 2 ppm inside.
• Raisins are allowed 55 ppm’s.

Fluoride has been linked to decreased IQ in children, and even the United States government is calling for lower levels of fluoride to be added to United States water supplies. Perhaps the next big hurdle in the fight against fluoride will be within the food industry.

High Levels of Deadly Bacteria Revealed in Nation’s Pork Supply

High Levels of Deadly Bacteria Revealed in Nation’s Pork Supply

Feb 1st, 2012 - Jill Ettinger

Deadly strains of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) are present in the nation’s meat supply, according to a new report published in the journal PLoS ONE titled, “MRSA in Conventional and Alternative Retail Pork Products.”
A partnership between the University of Iowa College of Public Health and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy conducted the largest U.S. survey of retail meat. The study looked at nearly 400 samples of various pork products collected throughout supermarkets in Iowa, Minnesota and New Jersey. Nearly 7 percent of the samples contained detectable levels of MRSA. According to lead study author Tara Smith, Ph.D., interim director of the UI Center for Emerging and Infectious Diseases and assistant professor of epidemiology, “This study shows that the meat we buy in our grocery stores has a higher prevalence of staph than we originally thought.”
The study made another surprising discovery: There was no notable difference in the levels of MRSA contamination between conventionally raised pork products and those claiming to be raised without antibiotics or other drugs. “We were surprised to see no significant difference in antibiotic-free and conventionally produced pork,” said Smith.
Some 185,000 cases of food poisoning are caused by MRSA in the U.S. each year, and the bacteria, which are extremely difficult to treat because of resistance to antibiotics, can lead to life-threatening infections.
The study researchers hope that the findings will help lead to recommendations for safer handling methods of all raw meat products, not just for the end consumer, but also in slaughtering and processing the animals, where much of the contamination is believed to occur.

Exercise Proving to be a Weapon Against Cancer

Fighting a serious disease like cancer requires the best from both you and your doctors. In this fight, you will want to have every weapon available in your arsenal. One of those weapons is something you might not normally think of; your fitness level. Science is finding that exercise has a wide array of positive benefits, even for those dealing with an illness. A regular exercise routine tailored to your abilities can increase your energy levels, boost your immune system, and lift your spirits. Let's look at some of the many benefits exercise can give you in your fight.

Increased Energy

Regular exercise increases energy levels by increasing one’s metabolism, even for those with forms of cancer like mesothelioma. This, in turn, can bring your weight under control and can certainly help your self esteem increase as well. Furthermore, if you incorporate resistance training into your routine, you will even burn calories when you are at rest due to the additional muscle you will be adding.

Immune System Boost

Studies have shown that exercise is very helpful in increasing the activity of the immune system. It increases the activity of natural killer cells and even moderate exercise is beneficial for the immune system. These benefits remain, even hours after the exercise is completed. If you are going to beat cancer, ultimately it is your own immune system that must do the "heavy lifting". Exercise is a great way to prime your immune system for battle and compliment whatever treatment your doctor has already prescribed.

Stress Relief

Battling cancer can take a toll mentally, physically, and financially which can in turn cause a great deal stress. However, exercise is great tool for fighting back and relieving one’s worries. For example, when you are stressed, your body produces various chemicals, mainly a chemical called cortisol. Cortisol is best known as the "fight or flight" chemical. It is effective for its given purpose, but elevated and prolonged levels of stress can keep it circulating longer than needed, weakening your immune system.

A study conducted by the Elazig First University Medical Department found a large correlation between levels of cortisol and the exercise intensity. They also found that regular, moderate exercise has significant positive effects on the immune system by increasing the numbers of protective immunoglobulins.

Positive Effects Upon Mood

Depression and anxiety go hand-in-hand with prolonged bouts of illness. Fortunately, exercise can help here also. When you exercise, your body secretes certain brain chemicals such as endorphins, the body's own pain killer.

If you would like to experience the benefits of exercise for yourself, be sure to consult your doctor first to find a routine that is right for you.

Green tea extracts may protect against oral cancer

Green tea extracts may protect against oral cancer: Study
By Stephen Daniells, 06-Nov-2009

Extracts from green tea may prevent the formation of mouth cancers in people with risk signs of the disease, according to a new study from Texas.
Over 50% of participants in the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center study experienced a clinical response to the green tea extracts, according to findings published in Cancer Prevention Research.
“While still very early, and not definitive proof that green tea is an effective preventive agent, these results certainly encourage more study for patients at highest risk for oral cancer,” lead researcher Vassiliki Papadimitrakopoulou, MD.
“The extract's lack of toxicity is attractive - in prevention trials, it's very important to remember that these are otherwise healthy individuals and we need to ensure that agents studied produce no harm,” he added.
The study was funded by Ito En and using the company’s green tea extract.
Green tea contains between 30 and 40 per cent of water-extractable polyphenols, while black tea (green tea that has been oxidized by fermentation) contains between 3 and 10 per cent. Oolong tea is semi-fermented tea and is somewhere between green and black tea.
The four primary polyphenols found in fresh tealeaves are epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epicatechin (EC).

Phase II stats
The study, a phase II dose-finding trial, followed 41 people with oral leukoplakia, a condition is a sign of oral cancer risk. The participants were assigned to receive either placebo or green tea extract at one of three doses, including 500 milligrams per metre squared of body mass (mg/m2), 750 mg/m2, or 1,000 mg/m2 three times a day.
The researchers collected oral tissue biopsies, which they say was “essential in that it allowed us to learn that not only did the green tea extract appear to have benefit for some patients, but we pointed to anti-angiogenic effects as a potential mechanism of action,” explained co-researcher Anne Tsao, MD.

Almost 60 per cent of people taking the two highest doses of the green tea extracts had a clinical response. Just over 36 per cent of people in the lowest extract dose group had a clinical response, compared to 18 per cent in the placebo group, said the researchers.
At an extended follow-up with a mean of 27.5 months, 15 participants had developed oral cancer, with a median time to disease development of 46.4 months.
Commenting on the safety, the researchers noted that side effects such as insomnia and nervousness were mostly only recorded in the high-dose group. None of these produced no significant toxicity, they added.
“While these are encouraging findings, much more research must be done before we can conclude that green tea may prevent oral or any other type of cancer. It's also important to remind people that this trial enrolled very few participants who, at the highest dose levels took the equivalent of eight cups of green tea three times a day,” cautioned Papadimitrakopoulo.
“We need to further understand if green tea offers longer-term prevention effects for patients,” he added.

Next stage of study
Future studies with such high-risk people investigate the effects of longer supplementation periods, said the researchers.
According to the American Cancer Society, more than 35,720 are expected to be diagnosed with oral and/or pharynx cancer and the five year survival rate is less than 50 per cent.
