Drinking iced coffee can trigger cancer, be careful

Like the iced coffee? It's time this practice is reduced. According to the World Cancer Research Agency (WCRF), iced coffee stimulate obesity to cancer.

Research The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) in some British café like Starbucks, Caffe Nero and Costa Coffee, to find facts about ice coffee stimulate obesity to cancer. WCRF data mentioned, concentrated berry drinks from Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino contains 561 calories. While the types of other iced coffee contains more than 450 calories, and for the kind of regular coffee ice no more than 200 calories.

A health researcher recommends every woman should consume in a 2.000 calories a day, whereas for men 2,500 calories.

"In fact, an iced coffee on the market exceeds the ideal ration of women to be consumed. Usually every lunch, many women like to eat ice coffee. Calories should be consumed from food rather than drink," explains Dr. Rachel Thompson, program manager for WCRF, said in a statement as quoted by Reuters.

WCRF estimates that more than 19,000 cancer sufferers in the UK tested positive for cancer because of obesity. And the cause, at most by consuming iced coffee, not from food.

Thompson added, taking the occasional iced coffee is not a problem. And it would be better if consumed iced coffee without sugar, or mix it with powdered milk or juice added.

"If you're used to eating regular iced coffee with sugar, will rapidly increase your weight. If this goes on will trigger the growth of cancer, or risk of diabetes and heart disease," added Thompson.

Latest Research - Purple Tomatoes Repellent Cancer

THE experts in the UK is currently developing a kind of purple tomatoes which claimed to have benefits inhibits cancer cell growth. New type of tomato gene crossing is believed to contain many experts antioxidant pigment called anthocyanin which play an important role to banish the tumors and cancer.

As reported to the journal, Nature Biotechnology, scientists from John Innes Center, Norwich, managed to create a new type of tomato variants with combinations of genes from the Snapdragon flower or magi Antirrhinum.

Snapdragon flower is known as one of the anthocyanin-rich plant, a substance also found in various types of dark berries such as blackberry, cranberry and chokeberry.

In his latest research, genetic engineering of tomatoes has been tested on mice in the laboratory. The result, groups of rats given a cancer sufferer purple tomatoes survived significantly longer than mice with the standard diet, either fed or given without regular tomatoes.

"The effect is greater than we expected," said research leader Cathie Martin, a plant biologist, too. Martin added, although fruits such as blackberries or blackcurrants efficacious prevent cancer, heart disease or neurological disorders, but not many people who eat them.

In fact, experts are trying to create a tomato fruit containing anthocyanins with the help of many genes Snapdragon flowers. In the process, experts said that normally tomato red into purple.

The experts also said that tests of tomato fruit is the man still can not be done in the near future. The next goal is to examine how the content of antioxidants in purple tomatoes can really affect the development of tumor cells in order to increase the quality of healthcare.

Like Diet, Avoid from Breast Cancer

One study revealed that women who have a diet consisting of meat and variety of livestock products like milk, eggs and processed products can reduce the risk of breast cancer.While many of those who receive a high intake of fiber foods like fruits, vegetables and grains also showed a low risk of ovarian cancer.The findings were published in the medical journal The International Journal of Cancer that links between the role of diet to cancer risk in women.

Intake with higher alcohol content consistently linked to higher risk of cancer, but when associated with other diet will find some results that can differ from each other, "said Dr.Valeria Edefonti of the University of Milan.

From some studies say that women who ate red meat or processed meat product range will have a higher risk of breast cancer, but other studies found the opposite was the link between red meat and variety meats that have been processed with cancer.

Saturated fats are found mostly in foods of animal protein is said to have close links with breast cancer but in several other studies had conflicting results.

While some other researchers recommend a diet that is a combination of nutritional considerations favored with what each individual. In his research and his colleagues Edefonti access to a diet of 3600 women with breast cancer and ovarian and compared with 3413 healthy women.

Based on answers to the researchers found four dietary groups
The first group is a group of adherents of animal protein pattern of `" the red meat consumed in large amounts, saturated fat, zinc, calcium and certain number of other nutritious food.

The second group is the group that has an eating pattern rich in vitamin and fiber ", which is rich in vitamin C, beta carotene and other nutrients found in fruits and vegetables.

Diet group "unsaturated fats" which contains a high content of vegetable oils and fish oil while also vitamin E. While the last group is the group with eating a high carbohydrate content of vegetable protein and sodium.

Group of women who adhered to the diet "unsaturated fats" have the lowest risk of breast cancer while consuming a high carbohydrate foods with a risk of both types of cancer.

In the general advice of the doctors suggested that we should eat less red meat, foods high in saturated fats and multiply eat vegetables and fruits, wheat family and whole grains, and consume unsaturated fats. Which is rich in vitamins and rich in fiber is the group with the risk of ovarian cancer is the lowest compared with the group with low dietary vitamins and low in fiber.

Share Rose in the World Cancer Day

World cancer day, the day that the cancer outside the home if you are, then you will see people share-for roses. share this rose is a sign that the day was a cancer world celebrate.

These roses will be divided by students, students, or citizens.

Cervical Cancer Immunization has been Found

Cancer is a frightening disease for women. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is the second largest killer of women after heart disease. But now there is good news for women about cancer prevention. Has been found that immunization can prevent cervical cancer (cervix).

The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that are directly related to the vagina. Cervical cancer is caused by a virus Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). As one of the reproductive organs, where the cervix is the most exposed to the outside world. Various factors are considered as a cofactor (factor that accompanies) the occurrence of cervical cancer, among others multiparitas, smoking, hormonal contraception, sexual diseases, and nutritional factors. At present in developed countries, cervical cancer has decreased thanks to early detection programs through pap smears. The method was successful in reducing mortality rates up to 50%.

So far in the medical world, vaccination is considered the most effective way to prevent the virus incubation in the human body, including human papilloma virus (HPV), the virus that causes cervical cancer (cervix). Just as immunization is known. In the body of vaccinations given by injection will form the body's immune system and defenses against the HPV virus entry into the cervix. Thus, the HPV virus will not get in much less grow and grow in the body.

HPV immunization will be given to women aged 12-14 years, by injection three times in a row in the arm once every two months and be repeated one more time in ten years later. Simplifies the delivery of vaccines and the high success rate to be advantages of this method of prevention.

Unfortunately, prevention through vaccination has weaknesses in terms of cost because it is relatively expensive. This is because the use recombinant technology to produce vaccines is the technology of molecular biology is still very expensive. HPV vaccine can work effectively in the bodies of women in all age groups, but with notes of these women had never been exposed or infected by HPV.

Moruno Tomato Effective Against Cancer

One of the declared type of tomato is most effective against cancer is moruno tomatoes. Researchers developed a tomato from Spain is claimed as a super food because of its ability to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Moruno tomatoes contain levels of natural cancer exterminator twice more than regular tomatoes, with vitamin C equivalent.

Tomatoes that requires two years of development time and results of the 2000 crossing of this type of tomato has lycopene levels twice as much. Lycopene is a red poster on the tomato and is believed to reduce the risk of prostate cancer.

Lycopene is more easily absorbed into the blood vessels when consumed after cooking with oil, like olive oil.

In a recent study, more than 1000 men undergoing prostate cancer tests after applying the diet with tomato. Patients who consumed more tomato sauce twice a week from 44 per cent risk of having a smaller spread of the disease.

According to researchers from America, possibly the smaller the spread of cancer when patients consume tomatoes and fish oil.

Tips to prevent dengue fever

NOT only in the rainy season, dengue fever now can come at any time. However, you should not panic. This disease could be prevented with a simple way. Dengue fever disease is still the leading cause of death to be wary of. Usually the diseases caused by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are a lot of outbreaks during the rainy season. However, as the environment changes and the cycle or the mosquito life cycle itself, this deadly disease can strike at any time without knowing the season.

"Vigilance remains to be increased in the rainy season because there are many puddles that could become a den of striped Aedes aegypti mosquitoes blamed for spreading dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)," said health experts from the Faculty of Public Health University of Indonesia, Dr W Tri Yunis Miko MSc. Well, now you should start vigilant, lest you and your family this disease.

Tri Yunis said that dengue fever is an infectious disease that occurs in tropical countries. "The disease is transmitted by the mosquito vector Aedes aegypti and A. Albopictus, "said the doctor who took a degree in Public Health epidomology University, Manila, Philippines.

The symptoms of dengue can occur suddenly and last for 2 to 7 days. Dengue fever in people with fever is often called a saddle. Because the patient's body temperature tends to fall-rise (3-day heat, day-to-4 down, and rose again on day 5).

"Changes in temperature are often misleading. As the child's body temperature is high initially and then decreases, the mother thought her daughter was cured. Though the child may be suffering from shock, "he said during the launch program" National Movement Prevent Dengue Fever "which was held Baygon products from PT Johnson Home Hygiene Products (PT JHHP).

Clean living by not letting a single mosquito larvae in the home and neighborhood is the best prevention efforts. Basically DHF cases can be overcome if not late getting medical help.

"Only a small proportion of cases classified as severe DHF or dengue shock syndrome," he said.

Phase of dengue infection was divided into three, namely fever phase, critical phase, and the healing phase. In the phase of fever, the mother can do some therapies such as the provision fever febrifuge, warm compresses, and supportive therapy through the provision of oralit, salt sugar solutions, fruit juices and milk.

"Make sure children get fluid intake by drinking. If the child can urinate every 4-6 hours, it could be an indicator that the liquid was enough. In addition, measuring body temperature every 4-6 hours, "he said.

"In the critical phase, patients usually can not eat or drink because no appetite or vomiting. So, should really be treated, "he said.

Miko tells us, in this phase is also fixed the amount of fluid should be adequate to avoid the risk of bleeding. If the patient can not eat and drink by mouth (especially happens shock), then the doctor will usually indicate the provision of intravenous fluids. "Expand fluid intake is required for those who suffer from dengue fever," said Miko.

Keeping the body from dehydration is also important to do that fever does not develop into shock. As a sign of dehydration of the skin, lips and tongue become dry, was thirsty, have not urinate and decreased skin elasticity (skin of the abdominal wall when pinched can not bounce back). While the signs of shock when he threatened them fast but weak pulse, sweating and cold skin.


Medical Entomology expert Institut Pertanian Bogor (IPB) Dr. Upik Kusumawati drh said Hadi MS, prevent dengue fever can be done from the most simple way, namely the eradication of mosquitoes nest (PSN) that can be done with 3M PLUS activities that drain the larvae breeding, closed water containers, cans and bury used tires, and use mosquito repellent and use mosquito net (mosquito net) is done in a systematic, continuous, and simultaneous.
