Put the kettle on
Making the perfect cup of tea is not as easy as it seems. I never liked designer coffee places. Although they brew good coffee, they are terrible makers of a proper cup of tea. So I seek joy in a glass of Masala tea at Indian restaurants � an orange brew, with copious amounts of sugar, evaporated milk, cinnamon, cardamom and cloves. As disturbingly New Age as it may sound, it gives me a sense of well-being. What? That pair of shoes I�ve been eyeing don�t come in my size? .
Diet and medication may help prevent prostate cancer
Washington, Sept 24 (ANI): A new review study has revealed that recent studies of medications, diet and the molecular understanding of prostate cancer are creating potential prevention strategies for the disease, and heralding a new stage in the management of this cancer. Dr. Neil Fleshner and Dr. Alexandre Zlotta from the University of Toronto say that available medications, such as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and selective estrogen receptor modifiers, hold promise in reducing malignancies. In addition, there is strong evidence that dietary fat affects disease development and promising data that other compounds, such as soy, selenium and green tea, offer additional possibilities for disease prevention. Drs. Fleshner and Zlotta point to studies that suggest prostate cells become malignant in men in their 20s and 30s and conclude , 'unless we intervene with men in their early 20's, prevention in the context of prostate cancer refers to a slowing of the growth of existing prostate cancer cells so that they never harm the host.' The authors reviewed the published literature to evaluate the progress towards developing an evidence-based prostate cancer prevention strategy.
