submitted by: admin on 05/12/2015
Theories about the cause of cancer are many but the answers are not clear. Aneuploidy is an imbalance of the number of chromosomes, In cancer they usually range between 60-90 chromosomes rather than 46. No two cancers are the same. Normal cells do not de-differentiate, they progress in an abnormal way. Gene mutations are too small to cause cancer.

Nitrates, Good or Bad?
submitted by: admin on 10/12/2013
Nitrates are chemicals are found in our food. Usually we think of them as being dangerous and not healthy because they turn to Nitrosamines which are carcinogenic. Usually this occurs when food is cooked at higher temperatures, or when it is barbequed. Many meat products contain nitrates as a preservative. Meats such as bacon, hot dogs, sausages,...
Plastic Water Bottles, Are they Safe?
submitted by: admin on 10/14/2013
Bisphenol A is found in plastic bottles and is carcinogenic. It is now ubiquitous. One of the problems in assessing the safety of chemicals is that we don't look at the cumulative effect of thousands of environmental toxins. Commonsense is needed in the US to stop approving chemicals that are not proven to be safe. Money trumps service.

The Electronic or the E Cigarette
submitted by: admin on 10/17/2013
As a child I remember walking down to the corner convenience store to buy a candy treat. In my time you could take a quarter and buy a candy bar and get change. If you wanted to look cool, you might buy the white candy cigarettes with the pink tip and pretend to puff your way home. This candy in the shape of a cigarett is legal and always has been.

An individual's intestinal bacteria flora falls into certain patterns that are independent of nationality, gender, and age according to a 2011 article in the journal, Nature.
