Why Are Antioxidants So Important?

So apparently antioxidants are really, really important for maintaining a healthy life, who knew? Ensuring a good amount of antioxidants in your diet can reduce the chances of cancer, lower high blood pressure, improve wrinkles  and help your heart stay healthy amongst many other benefits. They’re job is to fight ‘free-radicals’ which are the causes of many health problems and are produced due to stress, processed food, smoking, and if you think those factors don’t apply to you well, they’re even caused by UV light and pollution. These things are like bad movie sequels: everywhere, unstoppable and harmful.

That’s why antioxidants are so important and they’re just as easy to get as their nemeses are. They’re found in fruit, oil, even coffee and wine, so here’s the excuse for a second glass this weekend. Read on to find out more:

Johnson & Johnson ordered to pay $72M to family in cancer-talcum powder case

Warning labels never applied to products even though concerns about risks were raised in the '80s

 

A Missouri jury has awarded $72 million US in damages to the family of a woman who died of ovarian cancer following decades of use of Johnson & Johnson's talc-based powders.

The family of Jacqueline Fox was awarded $10 million US in actual damages and $62 million in punitive damages late Monday.

• Two-thirds of cancers caused by bad luck, not heredity and environment
• 500,000 cancers worldwide linked to obesity

Lawyers for Fox claimed she used Johnson & Johnson's baby powder and Shower to Shower products for feminine hygiene for more than 35 years before she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer three years ago. The Birmingham, Ala., woman died at age 62.

The family argued Johnson & Johnson failed to warn consumers of the risks of talc-based products.

The jury found Johnson & Johnson liable for fraud, negligence and conspiracy, the family's lawyers said.

Johnson & Johnson spokeswoman Carol Goodrich said Tuesday that the New Jersey-based company was considering its next legal move.

"The recent U.S. verdict goes against decades of sound science proving the safety of talc as a cosmetic ingredient in multiple products, and while we sympathize with the family of the plaintiff, we strongly disagree with the outcome," Shelley Kohut, director of communications and public relations with Johnson & Johnson added in a statement to CBC News. 

At trial, Fox family lawyers introduced into evidence a September 1997 internal memo from a Johnson & Johnson medical consultant suggesting that "anybody who denies (the) risks" between "hygenic" talc use and ovarian cancer will be publicly perceived in the same light as those who denied a link between smoking cigarettes and cancer: "Denying the obvious in the face of all evidence to the contrary."

Jere Beasley, a lawyer for Fox's family, told reporters the company knew of the risk "as far back as the 1980s" yet resorted to "lying to the public, lying to the regulatory agencies."

The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) says there is "limited evidence in humans" for an association between genital use of talc-based body powder and ovarian cancer.

Dr. Daniel Cramer, an obstetrician-gynecologist with the Epidemiology Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, first found epidemiologic evidence of an association in 1982.

"We provided evidence that talc can be found in tissues from ovarian cancer patients, particularly in lymph nodes," Cramer, who provided written testimony at the trial, told CBC News.

"Johnson & Johnson contacted me after that [1982] study. Obviously they ignored my advice that they put a warning label on."

Paul Demers of Cancer Care Ontario sat on the International Agency for Research on Cancer committee that weighed the evidence and classified talc as possibly carcinogenic. 

"We have some evidence to be concerned about … it is not definitive enough to say probably carcinogenic," Demers said.

More than 280 agents are listed as possible carcinogens. 

"If you're concerned overall about talcum powder, then there's enough things to worry about in life. I would simply not use it," Demers suggested.

The UK ovarian cancer support charity Ovacome's fact sheet puts the risk into perspective. 

"Even if the risk of ovarian cancer is increased, studies suggest that using talc increases the risk of ovarian cancer by around a third. Although this may sound frightening, to put it into context, smoking and drinking increases the risk of esophageal cancer by 30 times."

The group notes women with ovarian cancer understandably look for a cause for their disease and may have been more likely to remember using talc than those who did not have cancer.

Nora Freeman Engstrom, a Stanford University law professor not involved in the Missouri case, said it's unlikely the $72-million award will stand.

Talc was once mixed with asbestos, which is known to cause cancer. Baby powder has been asbestos-free since the 1970s.

Full List of Illegal Cancer-Causing Shampoos! Is Your Shampoo on the List?!

Full List of Illegal Cancer-Causing Shampoos! Is Your Shampoo on the List?! You may think that the worst thing your shampoo could do is to harm your eyes, but it in fact your shampoo could be very deadly.

The Center for Environmental Health based in Oakland, California, had a study on soaps and shampoos and found that 98 of them have a possible carcinogen known as cocamide diethanolamine (cocamide DEA).

Products tested with high levels of cocamide DEA include shampoos made by Paul Mitchell , Colgate, Colomer, Palmolive, and many others. Plus, products advertised for children and a product deceitfully labeled as organic found that have the deadly chemical, in violation of California law.

“Most people believe that products sold in major stores are tested for safety, but consumers need to know that they could be doused with a cancer-causing chemical every time they shower or shampoo,” said Michael Green, executive director of CEH.

“We expect companies to take swift action to end this unnecessary risk to our children’s and families’ health.”

See the full list of 98 cancer causing shampoos here: ceh.org 
In addition to many brand shampoos and other personal care products (see the full list, below), the CEH testing found cocamide DEA in store-brand products purchased at Pharmaca , Trader Joe’s , Walmart, and Kohl’s. In a brand children’s bubble bath from Kmart and a children’s conditioner/shampoo from Babies R Us was also found that have cocamide DEA. Wrongly labeled organic products from Organic by Africa’s Best also was tested and researches found that they contain high levels of the cancer-causing chemical (CEH previously won a legal agreement with this company requiring it to end its use of organic labels).

Brain Tumors And Cell Phone Use Found To Be Linked (Again)

 MEDICAL DAILY

A study has found that cell phone usage may be linked to a higher risk of developing glioma, a type of brain tumor that is often deadly. Photo courtesy of Shutterstock

Cell phones do a lot for us. They allow us to talk, text, email, chat on social meda. And they may just put you at a higher risk for developing brain tumors, according to a new study in the new science journal, Pathophysiology.

The study, conducted in Sweden, found that Swedes who talked over cell or wireless phones for over 25 years were at three times the risk of developing glioma, a brain tumor that is often malignant, than those who used them for less than a year. Those who used them between 20 and 25 years were two times more likely. The study compared the cell phone usage of 1, 380 people diagnosed with malignant brain tumors to people without, finding that those who talked the most on wireless phones at a rate of over 1,486 hours were two times more likely to develop glioma compared to those who talked for least at a rate of less than 122 hours. No other type of brain tumor was linked to cell phone usage in the study, according to Reuters.

“The risk is three times higher after 25 years of use. We can see this clearly,” oncologist Dr. Lennart Hardell from the University Hospital in Orebro, Sweden and the lead researcher in the study, told Reuters.

The results of the study also oppose those belonging to the 2010 international Interphone study, the largest study on the subject to date. The International Agency for Research on Cancer did not find strong evidence to link wireless phone usage to a higher risk of developing brain tumors. The study was partly funded by cell phone users.

But the risk, even if it were to increase, would still be low, according to a 2012 study in the European Journal of Cancer, which found that five in 100,000 Europeans between 1995 and 2002 were diagnosed malignant brain tumors of any kind. That is 0.005 percent, meaning triple that rate would only be 0.016 percent.

And the new study is limited, relying on details by all participants of their cell phone usage in the last 10 years. It also does not establish how or why the cell phones usage causes the increase.
“A lot of people ask me, ‘Why did I get this brain tumor?’” neurosurgeon Dr. Gabriel Zada from the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine told Reuters. “There are a lot of different theories. It’s a much more convoluted picture than just saying cell phones caused this.”
Zada, who was not a part of the study, says that further research is needed to truly verify these findings.

“It is more evidence suggesting a possible association between brain tumors and cell phones,” he told Reuters. “But it’s certainly not convincing that cell phones cause brain cancer.”

Cell phones emit radiofrequency energy, which is absorbed by tissues that are close to where a person holds their phone when speaking, according to the National Cancer Institute Website, though it also maintains that no study has yet to establish a legitimate link between cell phone usage and various cancers.

"Studies thus far have not shown a consistent link between cell phone use and cancers of the brain, nerves, or other tissues of the head or neck. More research is needed because cell phone technology and how people use cell phones have been changing rapidly," said the website.

Cell phone usage among Americans increased by three times the amount between 2000 and 2010, according to Wireless Association CTIA, which represents manufacturers. But journal Neuro-Oncology reported in 2010 that parts of the brain vulnerable to radiofrequency energy from cell phones did not experience a rise in cancer, according to Reuters.

The World Health Organization has also examined such a link with a panel of 31 scientists from 14 countries labeling it in 2011 as "possibly carcinogenic." The Federal Communications Commission is also reanalyzing the safe radiation exposure limits it put in place in 1996, according to Reuters.
Herdell though believes that cell phones are still a risk, especially for children who he says are likely to take in more radiofrequency energy due to their smaller heads, thinner skulls, and higher amounts of brain activity, according to Reuters.

“Girls tends to put the smart phone below the pillow,” he told Reuters. “It’s a bad habit to go to bed with your smart phone.”

Keeping Your Phone In Your Pocket? Stop It now – The Consequences Could Be Deadly

We live in an era of smartphones, and we all have and love one. But do you know about the risks of their use?
The League of Nation’s Health Organization and some Russian doctors are warning that cellphones are harmful to our health. They are seriously worried about the electromagnetic fields effect on our body.

According to Nikolai Kononov, the vice president of the League of Nation’s Health Organization, these fields mostly affect our nervous, reproductive and endocrine system. Kononov also says that 70% of people are affected by this electromagnetic radiation from our phones, and in a world driven by technology it’s nearly impossible to forbid their use. However, we should use them rationally.

The electromagnetic radiation from cellphones is especially dangerous to pregnant women and children. Using a hands free device and shorter calls are just some of the measures which can reduce the risk of getting irradiated. But most importantly, you should never keep the phone in your pocket! Carry it in a bag or purse to shield your organs from electromagnetic radiation.

The FDA Finally Admitted That Factory-Farmed Chicken Meat Contains Cancer-Causing Arsenic

Why is alarming to find arsenic in chicken? Well, to know that let’s get to understand what is arsenic and what it does.

Arsenic is a chemical element that occurs in minerals in conjunction with sulfur and metals. It usually comes in steel grey and is very brittle. It begins to tarnish when exposed to air and becomes poisonous while gives a strong smell of garlic when heated.

Though it is clearly understood that it can be very harmful if consumed in large quantities over a period of time, yet some manage to go beyond malpractices in order to earn money.

The FDA (The Food and Drug Administration of the United States) has now come to conclusion and agreed that factory-farmed chicken meat sold in the USA contains arsenic which is not only poisonous but can also cause cancer.

What happens to the arsenic fed to the chicken?

The FDA’s research on this matter shows that when arsenical drugs are fed to the chicken, trace amount of the element are excreted in their manure and it accumulates quickly there by contaminating the soil and underground water year after year. Whereas, before this study, the poultry industry denied all facts about arsenic and any traces found in the meat.

Also the remaining arsenic is passed on to humans in form of meat. And is consumed every day. This has been going on for past 60 years in the United States.

This became a standard and according to industry standard nine billion chickens are raised every year, out of which roxarsone – an arsenic based drug (subsidiary of Pfizer) was fed to almost 88 percent of chicken raised for human consumption in US.  Although the drug was pulled from the shelves in 2011 in US but it wasn’t banned and was allowed to be sold in other countries.

The fact remains 

“Scott Brown of Pfizer Animal Health’s Veterinary Medicine Research and Development division commented on the same and agreed that the company also sells the ingredient in about a dozen other countries but is now reaching out to their regulatory authorities and will decide whether to sell it on an individual basis.”

Do you still feel like eating chicken meat? Or should we still believe the giants like Pfizer and other pharma companies blindly?

Top 10 Causes Of Cancer That We Use Daily

These are the ten causes of cancer that are kept in secret so the pharmaceutical industry can make profit from this illness, according to the alternative web pages. They have published an intriguing list of them.

1. Hormones in meat and milk:

Most of the domestic animals are fed with artificial hormones, in order to increase the production of milk and meat. The artificial hormones induce inflammations, cancer and other diseases.

2. Mammography, dental X-rays, scanners at the airport:

Did the mammography technician forget to tell you to pass the protective SWITCHES across your chests before he ran out the office? Yes, we are talking about the deadly rays that cause cancer, and you came in order to prevent it or react on time..

3. Aluminum in deodorants and antiperspirants

Most of the breast cancers occur in the upper quadrant, near the armpit, right where we apply deodorants filled with aluminum. Use some homemade or organic deodorants.

4. Toxic cosmetics

The skin is our largest organ, and we still treat it with a PREPARATIVE or decorative cosmetics that are full with petroleum and coal tar. These toxic substances are traveling without any problem through the skin in the bloodstream and in that way make a fertile ground for cancer cells. Start using organic or homemade cosmetics and repair the damage.

5. GMO soy and corn:

Most of the soy that you can buy in America is genetically modified, and if you are fan, for example, of soy milk, switch to another one because… Soy milk contains hemagglutinin, an ingredient that converts the red corpuscles into clots. The soy also increases the estrogen. Buy some organic milk, no matter what type do you prefer (cow, rice milk…).

6. Artificial sweeteners

Refined sugar is a danger because not only is it typically GMO because it’s genetically modified sugar beets, but it rapidly spikes insulin levels. Fructose, the type of sugar found in soda, is a serious cancer culprit as well. It contains caramel color, a known carcinogen. Soda acidifies the body, which in turn causes cancer cells to multiply. Skip the sodas altogether limited your intake of refined sugars.

7. Fluoridated water

No, this is not a mineral found in the nature or purified water passing through the pipes. The fluoride is actually polluting the water and washes the minerals from our body and it that way weakens the immune system. Drink spring water.

8. Drugs, vaccines

Look for a doctor that you can trust to, who will give you advice about a lifestyle and nutrition as prevention of cancer. Stay away from “drugs” from the Big Pharma sound names with the same aim to make profit and that you disease is of great interest.

9. Canned Goods

Most cans are lined with a product called bisphenol-A (BPA), which has been shown to genetically alter the brain cells of rats. Many plastic goods, thermal paper, water lines, and many dental composites also contain BPA.

10. Commercial soaps, shampoos, tooth pastes, creams

Again, the things that are applied to the skin, hair or teeth end in your bloodstream. Perfumes, colors, animal by-products and the other suspicious substances can cause cancer. Do it yourself or buy organic and natural cosmetics. There is a saying “If you would not eat it, do not use it on your skin!”
