Eating Lots of Carbs and Sugar Trigger Breast Cancer

Foods that contain lots of carbohydrates and sugar is bad for health risks are known. In addition to triggering diabetes, such foods have been found to trigger breast cancer in women who have undergone menopause.

A study conducted in Europe found no relationship between the 'glycemic load' high with breast cancer. It means a lot of high glycemic load foods that cause spikes in blood sugar quickly. The culprits are processed foods, white flour, potatoes and sweets.

Sweet fruit also can actually raise blood sugar quickly. But because low-calorie, then the fruit is not much trigger an increase in glycemic load.

Breast cancer associated with glycemic load is a breast cancer estrogen receptor (ER) negative. Amounts to about a quarter of all cases of breast cancer. Though few, these cancers are usually affected worse than cancer with positive RE because it tends to grow faster and do not respond to hormone therapy.

"In general, foods with high glycemic load was not a healthy menu. Foods such as these have been found associated with many negative health conditions," said Christina Clarke, a researcher at the Cancer Prevention Institute of California in Fremont as reported by Reuters on Friday (27/7 / 2012).

Foods with high glycemic load associated with insulin secretion in abundance. Insulin is a hormone that regulates blood sugar. High insulin levels are known to be associated with the emergence of certain types of cancer, presumably because insulin helps the growth of tumors.

Conclusion of the study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition is based on the long-running study in Europe on nutrition and cancer risk factors. Of the nearly 335 000 women in the study, as many as 11 576 of whom had breast cancer for a dozen years.

In the study, postmenopausal women who ate foods with high glycemic load 36 percent higher risk of esophageal cancer compared with women negative RE is eating foods with low glycemic load. However, the difference in risk found in this study are not too large.

"The difference is not large and there are many other factors that may be different in women. However, this study taking into account risk factors such as weight, exercise habits, calorie intake and smoking habits," said Clarke.

Clarke said that no single factor that causes the risk of breast cancer. These findings are at least encouraged the women to be more diligent consumes a balanced diet by limiting your intake of refined carbohydrates and increase healthy foods such as vegetable protein, good fats, fiber-rich foods and whole grains.

Junk Food Ads Destructive Image Good Olympics London

Indonesia, now almost all pairs of eyes in the world leads to the XXX Olympiad which took place in the city of London. Watching sporting events can provide entertainment and motivation to exercise, but you may forget about junk food ads that often appear in the middle of the game.

Junk food companies like Coca-Cola and McDonald's of course delighted to sponsor the Olympics. The amount of public interest to make the Olympic junk food ads in the middle of the game become more effective and targeted.

Michael F. Jacobson, Executive Director, Center for Science in the Public Interest rate, it was really ironic. Given the global event featuring athletes healthy and strong should be inserted shows that food advertising can be harmful to health.

Jacobson wrote a major sponsor to pay about 100 million dollars (nearly $ 1 trillion) to the organizers of the Olympics and is expected to reap profits by 40 per cent of advertising in an Olympic event.

The advent of junk food advertising in the Games make some international organizations to voice their opinions regarding the risk of obesity that could be affected because of the junk food advertisements during watching the Olympics:

A. The London Assembly urged the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to make the criteria more stringent to sponsor so as to preclude junk food companies to participate in the ad.

2. The Academy of Medical Royal Colleges states that sponsor McDonald's and Coca-Cola sends the wrong message through advertising on children who watch the Olympics.

3. The Lancet, British medical journal states that it is difficult to remove long-term effects of obesity because of the influence left by the Olympic ads.

4. IOC President Jacques Rogge of Belgium, also acknowledged the problem.

Responding to some of these disagreements, junk food companies that sponsor stating that all beverage products can be enjoyed as part of an active lifestyle and healthy.

"A lot of athletes who say that our company is one of the favorite eating places. So our company's involvement as a sponsor is not a problem that needs to be exaggerated," said McDonald as reported huffingtonpost party, Saturday (07/28/2012).

It seems there will always be junk food ads on every sporting event. May also still be there at the upcoming Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2016.

Moreover, Brazil is one of the world's largest consumer of soda soda is driven by the Coca-Cola to invest billions of dollars annually and has more than 650 McDonald's outlets.

Salty food like? Carefully Kidney Stones and Osteoporosis Risk

Indonesia, People who eat too many salty foods tend to develop various diseases. A recent study found that high salt intake causes people to develop kidney stones and osteoporosis.

The researchers found that the relationship between the sodium contained in salt with calcium. It seems that both substances regulated by the same molecule in the body.

If the intake of sodium in the body is too high, your body will get rid of calcium through the urine and also dissolved in it. High levels of calcium in the urine can lead to kidney stone formation and the lack of calcium in the body can cause bone thinning and osteoporosis.

"When the body tries to dispose of sodium in the urine, the body also removes calcium at the same time," said Alexander, researchers from the faculties of medicine and dentistry at the University of Alberta, as reported by health.india, Saturday (28/07/2012).

Relationships are very important as more and more of sodium in a person's diet, the body will also throw more and more calcium. Thus reduce sodium intake by limiting the use of salt in daily diet to maintain healthy bones and kidneys.

Also, avoid eating processed foods also generally contain high amounts of sodium. Eat your own food is better because you can estimate for yourself how much intake of salt in which if safe.

"In this study, the researchers found that in one's body against a dual function molecule, which regulate levels of calcium and sodium in the body. Thus it may be the biological evidence on the relationship between sodium and calcium," added Alexand.

Swallow Sperm, Can Relieve Symptoms of Nausea Vomiting During Young Pregnant

Morning sickness usually occurs in pregnant women with symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and vomiting in the morning until noon. Morning sickness appears minimal at week 4 and a maximum at week 16 but the long period is different for every woman.

Although this disorder normally occurs during pregnancy, many pregnant women who feel depressed when experiencing it. No wonder that pregnant women perform a variety of ways to overcome them. One was proposed by Gordon Gallup, a psychologist at SUNY, Albania.

Gallup said that the best way to treat morning sickness is to swallow the liquid that makes you pregnant, no other than the sperm. But of course you use the sperm must come from your own partner.

Contrary to widely circulated belief all along that food is the trigger morning sickness in pregnant women, Gallup theorizes that this is caused by a baby in the womb itself. This baby is made ​​of a material that is considered 'foreign' by the body giving rise to a negative response from bodies such as pain, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.

Therefore, to suppress it, pregnant women were asked to swallow a number of their partner's sperm in the morning. "But if you get pregnant thanks to the program in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with sperm that is not from your partner then this method is not useful," Gallup said as quoted by Yourtango, Friday (27/07/2012).

Gallup explains this is because the largest component of morning sickness is the result of sperm exposure to 'foreign' of the couple. Whereas in women undergoing IVF conception did not involve his own sperm from her partner.
