Exposure to fluoride induces early puberty
You
don't have a right to choose what type of water to drink or use. The
dentists decide it because they say it's good for your teeth. But just
because they say fluoride is good for the teeth does not mean they have
the right to force you to drink it. If fluoride is indeed good for the
teeth, people can use supplements or whatever anytime. But why this
stuff should be added to in the public drinking water systems?
Something fishy.

Healthy Recipes: Old-Fashioned Chicken Soup
As the temperature drops, stay warm with AICR’s Old-Fashioned Chicken
Soup recipe. This vegetable-filled soup tastes best when simmered for
an afternoon, so set aside a few hours before your meal to make it
perfect. This soup features turnips, which are a good source of vitamin
C and also provide cancer-fighting phytochemicals known as
glucosinolates. The carrots, which will sweeten significantly as they
cook, are rich in vitamin A and carotenoids. The vegetables combine
with low fat chicken breast and a mix of savory spices for an aromatic
and tasty meal.

Study helps clarify role of vitamin D in cancer therapy
A colon cancer cell isn't a lost
cause. Vitamin D can tame the rogue cell by adjusting everything from
its gene expression to its cytoskeleton. In the Nov. 17 issue of the
Journal of Cell Biology,
Ordóñez-Morán et al. show that one pathway governs the vitamin's
diverse effects. The results help clarify the actions of a molecule
that is undergoing clinical trials as a cancer therapy.

Controlling Chelesterol with Statins
The drug companies want you
a healthy person to take statins to prevent heart disease. You need to
know that although there is some protection against heart disease, but
the benefit is tiny and in many cases may not worth your dollars. It's
generally agreed in the medical circle that those with some underlying
heart condition may benefit maximally from taking statins.
