Birth control pills and liver cancer

Several studies have found that pills increase the risk of liver cancer in populations usually considered low risk, such as white women in the United States and Europe who do not have liver disease. In these studies, women who used pills for longer periods of time were found to be at increased risk for liver cancer. However, pills did not increase the risk of liver cancer in Asian and African women, who are considered high risk for this disease. Researchers believe this is because other risk factors, such as hepatitis infection, outweigh the effect of pills.

Red wine vs black grapes

Several scientific discussions were devoted to Red wine vs black grapes and conclusions are very optimistic.
During last decade several publications were devoted to so called “French paradox” linked to red wine consumption. This phenomenon was first noted by Irish physician Samuel Black in 1819. French paradox refers to several observations which discovered that French people suffer a relatively low incidence of coronary heart disease, despite having a diet relatively rich in saturated fats. Why? The only explanation was – because French cuisine is not only rich of fatty foods but also regularly combined with increased consumption of wine. It should be highlighted that the incidence of heart disease in France is 40% lower than predicted for their high-fat diet (especially for red wine users). So, where is the secret?

Ovarian cancer risk factors

Sometimes ovarian cancer called “silent killer” because in most cases ovarian cancer develops without any noticeable symptoms. This is why every woman should know ovarian cancer risk factors and try to avoid them as much as possible.

Ovarian cancer often called “silent killer” because in most cases there are no specific symptom which can warn about ovarian cancer but there are often some early warning signs – ovarian cancer first signs.
According to American Cancer Society, ovarian cancer is detected in the early stages only about 20% cases. It’s much easier to treat ovarian cancer when it’s diagnosed in the early stages. Early detection of ovarian cancer detected before spreading (before metastatic enlargement), can insure pretty effective treatment up to 94% survival rate.

This is why it is very important to pay special attention to prevention methodologies including ovarian cancer diet and lifestyle. Ovarian cancer diet is exceptionally useful in both preventing and curing “silent killer” – diet is extremely influential in preventing and healing ovarian cancer by destroying ovarian cancer cells and hindering proliferation. This is how ovarian cancer diet can increase survival rates dramatically. Scientists discovered a strong relationship between prolonged survival years and what women were eating 3-5 years before their diagnosis.

Breast cancer first signs

Breast cancer first signs are well known. But sometimes women notice breast cancer symptoms without paying special attention to it. Why?

What means diet reducing cancer risks? Answer is very simple – several types of food contain antioxidants (black grapes, tomato, cauliflower, broccoli, etc.) which fight cancer cells, some foods contain specific vitamins (vitamins D, B17, A, E) which can prevent cancer development and there are certain foods which trigger cancer development and feed cancer cells (sugar, saturated fats).
