Excess Soda Consumption trigger Pancreatic Cancer

Consumption of excessive soda is not good for health. A recent study showed people who drink soda 2 or more times a week had a risk of pancreatic cancer.
Researchers reveal the cause of the increased risk of pancreatic cancer in people who frequent soda consumption is due to the high sugar content. Analysis of data collected from 60,524 adults showed people who drink two or more soft drinks with high sugar levels in a week, a greater risk of pancreatic cancer than those who rarely consume sodas.
But researchers found no relationship between drinking juice with pancreatic cancer. This is because the sugar content of juice contained in the registration does not drink soda. Known in 20 grams of soda contains sugar levels as much as 65 grams.
This study is the first time conducted in Asia to see the contribution from soft drinks to pancreatic cancer. This is done because the lifestyle of Asians tend to have similar now with the Europeans and Americans.
Participants involved in this study ate two or more soft drinks per week. It also visits other factors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, high-calorie food consumption and physical activity. The findings of this study is adjusted with other factors associated with pancreatic cancer is the consumption of red meat.
"It was another adjustment does not alter the relationship between soft drinks and the risk of pancreatic cancer. That's why we think the sugar in soft drinks as the culprit," said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota's department of epidemiology and public health, as quoted by AFP, Tuesday (9 / 2 / 2010).
Soft drinks himself has played a role against the development of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels) and hiperinsulemia (insulin levels in the blood exceeds the normal amount). Insulin is produced by the pancreas to help regulate blood sugar levels. High sugar content in soda affects insulin levels, so the researchers think it led to the growth of pancreatic cells that are not normal.
Pancreatic cancer is one fatal cancer for adults, by 5 percent of patients with pancreatic cancer can not survive more than 5 years after diagnosis.
Because it could not hurt to reduce consumption of carbonated beverages, because already many studies showing the dangers of consuming carbonated drinks too much.

Testing Quality Toothpaste Through Egg

Jakarta, Want to know how good quality toothpaste you currently use? A simple experiment can be done at home to prove the content of fluoride in toothpaste. With capitalize eggs, you can know whether the toothpaste is used for porous enough to prevent tooth or not.

Rotten teeth is damage to the tooth structure which affects the outer layer that protects the teeth, namely email. This damage can continue to spread until the layers in the teeth (dentine and pulp). If left over time, not just a toothache that will be felt but can also be a serious illness.

"I once had a patient a former officer's wife. He was sentenced to only a stroke because of an infection in his teeth. And it all happened after 2 years of dental infections," said Rosa, Rai Djalal drg on the show 'Eggsperimen, Only the Strong Proves Lasting' at Plaza Sentral, Jakarta, Wednesday (3/2/2010).

According to a beautiful doctor who is also Presidential Spokesman wife SBY, Dino Pati Jalal, the tooth will easily porous if there are four factors, namely the tooth itself, the substrate (food scraps), microorganisms and time.

"Plaque or food scraps that contain carbohydrates and sugar is converted by bacteria in the mouth becomes acidic compounds. Acid issued long plaque can erode tooth enamel, causing thinning," said Rosa drg.

Therefore, to prevent and protect teeth from thinning, be sure to use toothpaste that contains enough fluoride. Substance of fluoride will prevent tooth pengeropposan by inhibiting demineralisasi and harden tooth enamel

How to know fluoride is enough or not? Try doing the following simple experiment:

1. Provide an egg, a bowl and toothpaste.
2. Toothpaste Pour into a small bowl that has been filled with water, stir and dissolve with the average
3. Immerse the egg into the solution of toothpaste, let stand for 4 days
4. After 4 days, rinse the eggs that have been soaked until clean and dry
5. Once dry, insert the eggs into a glass containing a solution of vinegar and let stand for 3 hours

If within 3 hours of the eggshells that have been soaked in vinegar solution becomes incomplete, meaning the content of fluoride in toothpaste is not maximized. There should have fluoride in toothpaste can keep calcium in egg shells for 5 hours.

The characteristics of the coated eggs toothpaste to low fluoride include:

1. Quickly produce air bubbles when I first dipped in acid solution
2. Fast floating because egg density is reduced due to the release of calcium from egg shells
3. experiencing rapid peeling eggshell within 3 hours

In these experiments, the egg analogy as teeth because both have calcium network vulnerable to acid. Meanwhile analogous vinegar as the acid in the mouth. Acid in vinegar and sour mouth pasa both are corrosive and reacts to calcium.

A good toothpaste is toothpaste that calcium can prevent tooth damage from acidic compounds. In the egg test, a good toothpaste should be able to prevent damage to the shell to remain intact and not be separated from its shell.

In addition to using a toothbrush, toothpaste with fluoride is, the consumption of vegetables and fruits should also be copied because it can be as self-cleaning. "Fruit and vegetables will trigger saliva production, thereby reducing the level of acidity in the mouth and reduces the risk of brittle teeth," said Rosa drg.

Brushing your teeth 2 times a day also should not be underestimated because the impact can affect the aesthetic one.

"Appeal to brush your teeth 2 times a day (after meals and before bed) is not playing games. Kerapihan dental hygiene and is an important factor supporting the aesthetics, especially women. Even if her teeth pretty but hollow, it would seem so bad," he said.

Many Source of Diseases Comes from Protein

Many people do diet foods by reducing fat and increased protein. The man who wants to have big muscles also intentionally expand the protein in food intake. Though the concept was wrong, the excess protein is precisely the source of the disease for the body.

Protein is necessary to build body muscle, skin tissue, hair, nails and more. But be careful, mostly eating protein could endanger health. There have been many scientific studies that prove the dangers of excess protein for the body.

"The number of proteins that more than 30 percent of calories your body needs can be a health hazard," says Gail Butterfield, PhD, RD, director of Nutrition Studies at the Palo Alto Veterans Administration Medical Center and nutrition experts from Stanford University, as quoted Medicinenet, Friday (29 / 1 / 2010).

Unlike fat cells that can be stored in fat tissue if the excess, the body does not have a place to store excess protein. Therefore, most proteins will be diuban body fat beforehand to be saved. This is the key of the dangers of excess protein.

The more protein that is converted into fat in the body's fat stores to grow, and that means the risk of disease will come from fat, ranging from high cholesterol to heart disease

In the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society is mentioned, the excess protein is bad for the kidneys, liver and causes the body to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Excess protein is also closely linked to osteoporosis and cancer.

Gail says that excess protein can produce compounds that are toxic ketones. These compounds will cause the kidneys work harder to get them out of the body. As a result, the kidneys will need more water and hence dehydration appear.

If the body is dehydrated, weight can be decreased due to muscle and bone mass decreases. As a result, there is the risk of osteoporosis. Dehydration also causes the kidneys to stress and its effects will impact on the heart.

Ketone compounds and dehydration also causes the body to become weak, dizzy, bad breath and others. Protein can also cause allergic reactions, such as dermatitis topic, chilblain, collagen disease, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Excessive animal protein can damage DNA and cells change into cancer cells.

How much protein your body needs?

According to the Recommended Daily Allowances (RDA) which created the Food and Nutrition Board, ideally someone needs 0.72 grams of protein for each kilogram of body weight. So if you weight 80 kg, the protein that is required is about 57 grams.

If someone reproduce the consumption of protein without carbohydrate intake, the body will turn protein into glucose that should be the task of producing glucose carbohydrates.

But the changed proteins are not able to build muscle. Needed to build muscle is to exercise regularly with a sufficient protein intake. However, the body still needs protein to mensistesis enzymes, hormones, and others against infection.

For that, you should behave if they want to consume balanced high-protein foods like meat, cheese, milk and eggs.

Antioxidants Can So Misfire

Kansas, expert nutrition claims as a super food antioxidants or Superfood can fight almost any disease, especially cancer. But be careful, an overdose of antioxidants consumed instead trigger a pro-oxidant compounds.

Antioxidants are compounds that can prevent or inhibit the oxidation processes that are harmful to the body because the cells triggers free radicals. Cells of free radicals and is uncontrolled causing specific diseases, usually cancer.

Because it can prevent and fight disease, antioxidants are claimed to extend life. Not only that, antioxidants are believed to increase sexual performance and many other benefits.

But now researchers from Kansas State University, United States proved that antioxidants in high doses could be a boomerang for the body.

Antioxidants only works when there is a pro-oxidant compounds (trigger the oxidation process) in the body. When the dose of antioxidants and pro-oxidant imbalance or high antioxidant levels of pro-oxidants while low, the body will form a pro-oxidant compounds to balance with antioxidant levels, and this will make cells free radicals are not beyond repair.

"Many people believe that by eating lots of antioxidants, the benefits to the body also will be many more. But it was wrong, very high doses of antioxidants to produce the opposite function, namely causing weakened muscles, shortness of breath, the oxygen in the blood flow blocked even accelerated aging, "said the researcher, as reported by Steven Copp Dailymail, Saturday (30/1/2010).

It should be noticed for more consumption of broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, blueberries, soy and other foods that do not berantioksidan excessive.

Is there a beer for Health Benefits?

U.S. President Barack Obama several times caught by camera drinking beer while watching a basketball or entertain guests at the White House. Obama's favorite beer is now beginning to study nutrition expert to see there any benefits to health.

Just so you know, beer is identical to the unhealthy behavior because the consumption of large amounts of alcohol can damage organs in the body and can be addictive.

Nutrition experts are nutrition, fitness and health Julie Upton is a frequent media guest speaker and writer on the American Dietetic Association and some media that the secret behind mengulik beer as reported by the Health, Tuesday (11/8/2009).

"I'm more interested in beer there could be something good," said Upton.

When the wine is said to help heart health problems, the beer is rarely discussed because of the side that claimed the alcohol content is more dangerous. As a result, the wine often declared as a healthier beverage than beer.

But in recent years conducted research shows that all alcoholic drinks good beer, wine, and other types of distilled beverages tenyata also provide health benefits.

Here are some reasons a person, including Obama, or even the doctors drank beer:

1. Beer low calorie drinks
Some beers have a low amount of calories by 64 calories per 12 ounce per bottle. Even for regular type has only 100 calories per 12 ounce per bottle. In a country that likes low calorie, beer became an excuse to drink, including by Obama of course.

As a ratio of one ounce of all types of distilled beverages or 4 ounces of wine contains just 100 calories. While mixed drinks are packaged to have a higher calorie of 250-500 calories. Many people's favorite beer when the summer is to mix half of extra light beer such as 64 mgd, Beck's Premier Light, Michelob Ultra Lime or occasionally mixed with half minumuman Diet &-up.

2. Beer contains antioxidants
Few people know there is the fact that beer contains antioxidants. Studies at the University of Scranton counting acid antioxidants in beer and beer most types of hardware such as lagers, light beer, and non-alcoholic beer also has antioxidants.

Based on these findings, some researchers put the beer has a lot of antioxidants to the diet patterns in the U.S. than wine. The researchers who conducted the study with giving beer to the animals that have high cholesterol found that dark beer or lagers types helps protect arteries from plaque deposits. The beer also contains antioxidants which help reduce inflammation of blood vessels associated with heart disease.

3. Beer is also good for the brain
Ethanol than is known to protect the cardiovascular and help reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes, in a recent study shows that there is content related to the nervous system. The researchers found alcohol could protect the protein needed to protect the brain or the threat of Alzheimer's.

But Upton underlines, beer can be a good long drink consumed safely and correctly. One glass for women or two drinks for men per day is still a limit of tolerance. Your hobby beer should also have no record of alcohol abuse or family risk of breast cancer.
