      Eating Fresh Foods May Cut Exposure to BPA

      April 1, 2011 /

      Eating fresh is not a luxury nowadays, it could mean your very health.

      We are surrounded by BPA (Bisphenol A) at every corner of our home, car, office, stores and it’s very important to eliminate BPA as much as we can at least in OUR KITCHEN.

      Considering that we wrap our food, carry our food or store our food in plastic we should be aware of its use and do so as a last resort.

      In September 2010, Canada became the first country to declare BPA as a toxic substance. In the European Union and Canada, BPA use is banned in baby bottles.

      “We found just by substituting fresh foods with limited packaging for three days, we reduced exposure levels in these participants by more than half,”

      Parents on the front line to fight bad eating habits on and off campus!

      March 29, 2011 /

      In Philadelphia parents are taking matters in their own hands to protect kids from making poor food choices.

      The parents standing guard outside the Oxford Food Shop are foot soldiers in a national battle over the diets of children that has taken on new fervor. With 20 percent of the nation’s children obese, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has proposed new standards for federally subsidized school meals that call for more balanced meals and, for the first time, a limit on calories. The current standard specifies only a minimum calorie count, which some schools meet by adding sweet foods

      The Agriculture Department wants to change the content of federally subsidized school meals — 33 million lunches and 9 million breakfasts a day — by the fall of 2012. Beyond the calorie cap, the new standards would emphasize whole grains, vegetables and fruits and set tighter limits on sodium and fats

      Do you think schools should help parents in this battle. In the end they are our future

      New studies reveal how prostate cancer spreads!

      March 29, 2011 /

      According to a new study from University of Michigan discover how prostate cancer cells spread to the bones. Science offers hope for the treatment of prostate cancer

      So why does cancer recur? Say a person has a tumor and surgeons cut it out or do radiation, but it recurs in the bone marrow five years later, Taichman said. Those cancer cells had been circulating in the body well before the tumor was discovered, and one place those cancer cells hid is the niche.

      “So what have the cancer cells been doing during those five years? Now we have a partial answer — they’ve been sitting in this place whose job it is to keep things from proliferating and growing,” Taichman said.

      “Our work also provides an explanation as to why current chemotherapies often fail in that once cancer cells enter the niche, most likely they stop proliferating,” said Yusuke Shiozawa, lead author of the study. “The problem is that most of the drugs we use to try to treat cancer only work on cells that are proliferating.”
