Green Tea and Eating Mushroom Reduces Risk of Breast Cancer

Mushrooms and green tea seems a kind of simple food and drinks. But behind her, mushrooms and properties of the large green tea shop. Recent studies show, mushrooms and green tea to effectively reduce the risk of cancer. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women worldwide.

Therefore, in particular for women, good food and drinks in the list of the diet. Results can be sure to meet your initial motivation.

A study by a team of researchers from the University of Western Australia, Perth was conducted, showed that women who eat lots of mushrooms and green tea in your diet to reduce the risk of breast cancer.

The study in the International Journal of Cancer has published, in which more than 2,000 Chinese women. They found that women eat more fresh mushrooms and dried mushrooms, the greater the risk of breast cancer. The risk is also lower among women who drink green tea every day.

As is known, the rate of breast cancer in China was 4.5 times lower than in other developing countries. Although this number has begun to increase in particular in the fields of plenty.

"These latest results indicate that the traditional diet, especially with the mushrooms and green tea has a lot due to the low incidence of breast cancer in China," said study leader, Dr. Min Zhang.

This study was conducted in southern China, with 2,018 women. A total of 1009 diantarnya, breast cancer and staying healthy women without breast cancer. Participants 20-87 years. They were asked to complete questionnaires about their diet and the frequency of consumption of certain foods such as mushrooms and green tea.

usually held in Zhang's team found that women, many of the fresh mushrooms, 10 grams or more consumed per day, 3.2 times the risk of breast cancer less than they do not eat mushrooms. Meanwhile, 4 grams of dried mushrooms or more per day ate the risk of a lower average time to cancer with experience who do not eat mushrooms.

Meanwhile, women who drank green tea and eat mushrooms every day that a 11-18% risk of breast cancer than those who drink do both. However, the research is clear, this study does not prove cause and effect.

Researchers have shown that risk factors for breast cancer as a bit of weight, educational level, frequency of exercise habits and smoking, but are bright, there are other factors that could explain these results.

"This study is the first to link the amount of mushrooms and green tea in the diet with a reduced risk of breast cancer," said Zhang. However, he added, this invention can also be received in biology.

Studies in laboratory animals, he says, showed the mushroom with anti-tumor substances can stimulate the immune system to recover the body against cancer. The same goes for green tea, this tea contains antioxidants called polyphenols. This substance was effective against breast cancer in animals.

Nitrosylcobalamin, New Drug Overcome Cancer

Researchers at the Cleveland Clinic have shown promising results for cancer treatment. The reason, a new anticancer drug tested in dogs suffering from cancer, was able to deal with cancer without side effects like poison or a disadvantage. These drugs, they explained, would be an effective treatment for promising new therapies to treat cancer in humans.

Because of this new discovery, Joseph A. Bauer, PhD, Center of Hematology / Oncology Molecular Therapeutics at the Cleveland Clinic, was awarded outstanding at the 237th annual meeting of the American Chemical Society.

Bauer's team has succeeded in this story begins with Oscar, age 10, male dog who has cancer is very aggressive. Cancer is known as adenocarcinoma bag. Oscar chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but failed. Oscar convicts can not survive for 3 months and lose the ability to walk.

In addition, Bauer's team gave the drug against cancer killer Oscar innovation called nitrosylcobalamin (NO-CBL). The results are very encouraging. In two weeks, Oscar cancer has improved and he could walk again.

Trojan horse "to Cancer

NO-CBL drugs fight cancer, as the Trojan horse principle. Trojan is a destructive substance hidden in something that looks harmless.

New medicine against cancer is also almost the same principle. cancer killer and drug addiction, known as nitric oxide is incorporated in the tablets of vitamin B12. The substance, called receptors on the cell surface and vitamins to help pull in the cell. Cancer cells grow faster in the presence of B12 receptors. NO-CBL using this receptor in the cells and release of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is killing the cancer cells from within.

Based on the news release from the American Chemical Society, experts have tried for over 60 years developed a Trojan horse with vitamin B12 like this to fight cancer.

Tim Bauer also reported similar results with success on two other dogs. Ultrasound and MRI showed a significant reduction in tumor size in the three dogs studied.

The use of n-CBL for 9 months to reduce the size of the cancer by 40% in dog named Buddy. Dogs that had suffered nerve damage in his right foot behind her again able to walk. This treatment has also shown encouraging results in dogs Schnauzwer giant female who developed thyroid cancer. Cancer before and no longer have this currently experiencing a reduction in size of up to 77% in less than 10 weeks. The team is treating the dog the fourth, a golden retriever named Haley.

The team intends to cure cancer in 10 dogs, then get FDA approval for testing in humans. "In human genetics with the same dog that will facilitate the FDA approval for human trials," said Bauer.

Pregnancy, Potential to Reduce Cancer

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University found new evidence that cancer can be inherited from mother to fetus in the uterus. Analysis of a watch case, cancer cells in infants are genetically by cancer cells of the mother.

In the case published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers use genetic research to prove if cancer cells have been transferred from mother to child. The mother is 28 years old Japanese woman who was diagnosed with leukemia after giving birth, and his daughter 11 months old also suffered the same type of cancer.

According to researchers in the last 100 years has been several reports of the discovery of cancerous cells in the baby's mother. This, they say, showed a possible reduction in cancer cells from mother to fetus. "But he has not yet been proven genetically," said the researcher.

The results of genetic tests showed the cancer cells have a baby with a genetic match of cancer stem cells. Special signs in babies of cancer cells to prove that these cells come from the mother.

In addition, the results of further tests showed that cancer cells in babies lose some genetic material, material that is believed lost as a marker of cancer cells are abnormal cells, and was eliminated by children's immune systems. This genetic trait, according to researcher Takeshi Isoda, allowing the mother to cancer cells, avoiding the protective layer of the placenta of the fetus.

Lycopene, Natural Dyes Prevent Prostate Cancer

Food manufacturers often use of lycopene for the food coloring. With the ban on the use of artificial colors, lycopene in the correct answer is both healthy.

Lycopene as the carotenoid family, which act as antioxidants, protecting the body by deactivating free radicals before damage can occur from the disease. In addition to the antioxidant capacity, according to company Allied Biotech Corporation karotenioid, lycopene has also been found capable of reducing the risk of heart disease, oxidation of lipids, cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol) is lower, boost the immune system and, particular, the prevention of cancer.

Heart Disease Prevention

Lycopene has been reported can significantly reduce LDL oxidation in human blood. This suggests that lycopene has a role in preventing heart disease, in which a condition is to reduce LDL cholesterol oxidation.

Prostate Cancer Prevention

Lycopene is concentrated in certain organs of the body, particularly the prostate gland. Some studies have suggested an association of lycopene with a lower risk of prostate cancer. Earl Washington research, for example, found that men who have a large amount of lycopene in the blood, the risk of prostate cancer decreased by 50 percent more than those who ate less food sources of lycopene. Even for those under 70 years, the benefits are greater.

The source of lycopene

In the food industry, lycopene is used as natural dyes, according to his nature as giver in natural red fruits. Unfortunately, the absorption of lycopene by the body is not always easy, as the tomato.

the antioxidant content of tomatoes before cooking is relatively low. To increase the amount of lycopene in which both easier for the body to absorb lycopene, tomatoes must be cooked, or can be added to olive oil or canola oil. This means, all the tomato products like tomato sauce, tomato soup and spaghetti sauce are an excellent source of lycopene to the body. However, keep in mind to choose products low in sodium and sugar.

Many people think tomatoes are the only source of lycopene. In fact, there are also sources of lycopene in watermelon, guava, red, orange, Florida (Grapefruit), tomato juice, ketchup, and so on. For those of you who do not like tomatoes, these materials can certainly be an alternative of natural dyes in the service of the family.

Green Tea Not Proven Can Prevent Breast Cancer

Antioxidants in green tea has long been known to prevent cancer cell growth. However, recent research in Japan shows no link between green tea consumption with breast cancer risk.

Several previous studies noted that consumption of green tea may help protect women from breast cancer. This is because the content of polyphenol compounds contained in green tea may actually protect against breast cancer.

Polyphenols belong to a powerful antioxidant. This compound neutralizes free radicals that cause cancer. However, recent large-scale studies in Japan showed different results. Drinking green tea had no relation to breast health. Result of these findings published online in the Oct. 28 issue of the journal Breast Cancer Research.

"We found no overall relationship between green tea consumption and risk of breast cancer among Japanese women used to drink green tea," said study leader Dr. Motoki Iwasaki, Epidemiology and Prevention in Research Center for Cancer Prevention and Screening of the National Cancer Center in Tokyo, Japan.

"Our findings suggest that consumption of green tea is consumed regularly is not possible to reduce the risk of someone suffering from breast cancer," said Healthday.

For this study, Iwasaki team members collected data on 53,793 women who were surveyed between 1995 and 1998. Ask the question of how many participants are consuming green tea.

This question was given at baseline and introduced five years later. In the second study, researchers also asked about the two types of green tea Sencha and Bancha Genmaicha.

The researchers found, among women, approximately 12% of them consumed less than one cup of green tea in the other 27% per week. Drinking five or more cups a day.

This study also included female respondents who drank more than 10 cups a day. For nearly 14 years of follow up, 350 women from the study participants had breast cancer.

However, the researchers found no association between green tea and breast cancer risk. In the study, Iwasaki said that a force of this investigation and the enactment of the goals to reach for the number of participants to information collected before the diagnosis of breast cancer.

"So avoid the bias that is often inherent in research using the case study method," he said.

Dr. Stephanie Bernik, breast cancer surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, United States, said it was difficult to say that there is no benefit at all from green tea consumption.

"Maybe there is no benefit, specifically for breast cancer," he said.

Bernik said that many women who have breast cancer are interested in alternative medicine when Western medical treatment can not cure.

"We always seek more knowledge about how to treat breast cancer and reduce the incidence of breast cancer," he said.

"Women definitely interested in how you can have a healthy lifestyle," continued Bernik.

Jennifer J. Hu, professor of epidemiology and public health at the University of Miami School of Medicine, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, United States, adding that the problem with population-based study is that when it comes to seeing a single factor, which not be taken into account the risk factors Another conclusion that can affect research.

"Also, just by drinking green tea, do not get enough of the form (possibly compound to fight cancer) to make a big difference," he said.

Based on these problems, Hu did not believe that this research is to answer the question of whether or not green tea may help someone prevent breast cancer.

Breast cancer deserves to be seen as a frightening disease for women. Worldwide, breast cancer is the second leading cause of death after lung cancer, colon cancer followed.

While in Indonesia, the number of patients with breast cancer is second after cancer of the cervix (cervical). The high number of cases of suspected breast cancer that women are less aware of breast changes that often causes breast cancer is detected at an advanced stage.

In fact, early detection and increased surveillance along the appropriate treatment is thought to reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer.

Specific causes of breast cancer remains unknown. However, there are many factors that are estimated to have an influence on the occurrence of breast cancer. The family history, menstruation or menopause very young at the age of 50, gave birth to her first child at the age of 35 years, diets with excessive consumption of fat, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption , stress, genetic factors and others.
