Often heard green tea good for health? Did you know that according to Taiwanese scientists, drink a glass of green tea or more a day can resist the ill effects of cigarettes can cause lung cancer, especially in smokers who did not have cancer, congenital gene.

I-Hsin Lin, a graduate student at Chung Shan Medical University in Taiwan says that the antioxidants in green tea can inhibit tumor growth. This research study presented at the American Association of Cancer Research at the confluence of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, Coronado, California, was in January 2010.

Lin found a protective effect, especially in smokers group that has specific genotype was not associated with cancer risk. Along with her team, he evaluates 170 patients with lung cancer and 340 healthy patients. They were asked to describe their smoking habits, drinking habits of their green tea and other lifestyle factors for five years.

These researchers do genotyping on the separation of the participants to see if any of them who have inherited genotype associated with cancer risk. These include IGF1, IGF2, and IGFBP3.

In general, the smokers and non smokers who did not drink green tea have a lung cancer risk five times greater than those who drank at least one drink a day, said Lin.

The green tea drinker who does not have an inherent risk of cancer genes have a decreased risk of lung cancer as much as 66 percent compared with the green tea drinkers have the innate genes susceptible to cancer.

Lin himself has said, the best way to avoid cancer cells are exposed to stop smoking, while only green tea reduces the risk.

Good news for your cell phone heavy users. There was no link between mobile phone use and cancer risk.
Thus the findings of a study of brain tumors, such as the Legal lansir from Nydailynews on Monday (7/12/2009).

No relationship was between the use of cell phones and cases of cancer in adulthood. The researchers found, there was no change in high rates of cancer incidence between 1998 and 2003 compared with the two previous dekada, according to a report in the Telegraph UK.

The study headed by Dr. Isabelle Deltor from Danish Cancer Society and his colleagues are focusing research on the Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish. The countries were selected because of high cell phone usage.

Research carried out at 59. 984 people diagnosed with a brain tumor cases among the 16 million adult population, ages 20 and 79 years starting in 1974 until 2003.

“The case of brain tumors is less well understood. Only risk factors that already exist, namely radiation cancer ions and some of the symptoms of decline, reported cases represent a small portion of brain tumors,” according to research published in Deltour Journal of the National Cancer Institute .

Study confirms the conclusion, if the risks arising from the use of regular cell phones, will need more than 5-10 years for the appearance of tumors.

According to the Telegraph, the World Health Organization (WHO) hopes to soon release the results of a long study that stated, cell phone users face a higher risk of brain tumor growth in the future.

it’s like rowing two islands exceeded, so efficacy of bone tonic which was also useful to prevent breast cancer.

This preliminary conclusion resulting from the study of 151,592 female participants, in which 2216 participants are taking bisphosphonates or amplifier bone to prevent osteoporosis, at the beginning of the study.

Checked during the seven years later it was discovered only 31 percent of the participants who drank bone supplements with breast cancer. Positive benefits of this supplement to dominate, even after the researchers put a variety of factors, such as age, smoking habits, weight, hormones, and other factors that affect bone density and breast cancer.

Although this is not enough research to prove the benefits of these supplements for cancer prevention, but enough to give hope. Moreover, many women who consume these tablets bone amplifier.

However, experts still do not understand how these tablets work, whether because the bones become more resilient against the spread of cancer, or because the drug has side benefits as antitumor capable of preventing the emergence of cancer.

Other studies confirm the benefits of a tablet for the prevention of cancer is a study conducted in Israel experts. In a 2000 study comparing postmenopausal women with breast cancer in 2000 who did not have breast cancer, known from 29 percent of patients taking bisphosphonates first group.

However, these bone tablets is known to have side effects of pain in muscles and joints. Until now the recommended drugs to prevent breast cancer in healthy women is inhibiting hormone called tamoxifen and raloxifene.
