Jakarta, flowers white or Baby’s Breath flowers are beautiful is usually only found in a flower shop. But recent studies find another property behind the beauty of this interest, namely the treatment of cancer.

Experts say that a scientific name flower extract Gypsophila paniculata, can increase the efficiency of anti-cancer drug to a million-fold.

They found a molecule called saponins from the extracts of white flowers that are native flowers of Eastern Europe. These molecules can break the membrane of cancer cells.

Saponin molecule makes antibody-based drugs, known as immunotoxin easier to be able to attack cancer cells.

Consequently, immunotherapy is used to treat some types of leukemia (blood cancer) and lymphoma (cancer of lymphocytes) increased by more than one million-fold.

This discovery has been conducted by scientists who work for charities leukemia Busters, based in Southampton, Hants. And updated research on the Simon Flavell leukemia Research Laboratory at Southampton General Hospital.

The charity is managed by Dr David and Bee Flavell, Flavell whose son Simon died in 1990 because of an incurable blood cancer when he was 10 years old.

“I’m usually very careful with what I say especially about things like this. But this discovery could truly revolutionize the way of antibody-based drugs work, and will save lives,” said Dr David Flavell, as reported by the Telegraph, Friday (30/04/2010).

According to Dr David, this white flower extracts can not only apply to leukemia, there is a big possibility this drug can also be used for various types of cancer.

This breakthrough is the result of 12 months of research and testing in collaboration with scientists based in the German capital, Berlin.

“We still need to conduct laboratory-based work to further develop the invention into a practical and safe treatment for patients. And the money is key to achieving all this,” said Dr Flavell.

Scientists and doctors in leukemia Busters has been working tirelessly night and day for years, and they rely solely on donor generosity as well as contributions to fund this research.

Jakarta, Making a henna tattoo is very popular among the people of Asia and the Middle East. But the researchers revealed a link between henna tattoos with leukemia.

Researchers in the Middle East to find a higher leukemia cases occurred in the local women. The results found the habit of local people to use henna skin decoration as one of the trigger.

Researchers believe it is not henna itself is problematic, but the compounds used as solvents henna powder is dangerous.

Known to the public using a solution of benzene (a chemical to the solvent) which has been known to cause cancer. These compounds have been banned in many countries, however there are still uses it.

“Most women in the United Arab Emirates routinely use henna to dye your nails, hands, feet, and to decorate most of the arms and legs with skin as a cosmetic reasons,” said a team from the United Arab Emirates hospital published in leukemia and lymphoma, as quoted from the Telegraph, Tuesday (05/11/2010).

This team also revealed the use of henna should be restricted to local women who frequently use it. Because benzene or other chemicals added during the henna can be the most probable risk factors. Some salons sometimes adding other chemical additives to improve color arising from the henna.

In one research journal found that about 93 percent of blood cancer patients with acute myeloid leukemia types are women compared to men in the United Arab Emirates. Local women with cancer was 63 percent higher than foreign women.

Henna is very popular because it is regarded as a natural product, but at this henna praktikknya sometimes mixed with other chemical compounds. Scientists have warned for years that certain cosmetic products may contain an additive compounds associated with cancer.

In these countries the Middle East Gulf, the use of henna is regarded as one form of cosmetic art. But the local government acknowledged that some clinics often use henna pastes were mixed with benzene or other additive compounds.

“Benzene is known as a carcinogenic (cancer causing substances), these compounds are commonly used as a solvent. Actually if used in paint industry, there are strict health regulations regarding its use,” said Dr. Sherief Islam, one of the authors of the study.

London, anti-aging research (anti-aging) continue to grow. With the old anti-drug, the more opportunities a person’s life can be long. If people have a very long life, it makes sense that many people also who would choose to end his own life by euthanasia.

According to experts, the use of anti-aging drugs can delay aging and extend life for many years. But this will only make people choose to end his own life by way of euthanasia or in layman language called lethal injection.

Laboratory research shows that prolong life with anti-aging drugs can delay the appearance of age-related diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, thus making young people more, and the number of parents will be more and more.

“And the birth rate must also be controlled centrally to handle the increasing number of parents,” says Dr David Gems of the Institute of Healthy Ageing at University College London, as reported by the Telegraph, Friday (14/05/2010).

Dr Gems, who studies ways to slow aging, said that society will face a ’strange future’ due to the use of anti-aging medicine.

“If people have a very long life, then it makes sense also if many people would choose euthanasia to end his own life. The potential to reduce suffering truly extraordinary,” says Dr Gems, in the event that discusses the ethics of anti-aging treatment in Royal Society.

However, he also stressed that if science and technology used to ‘extend life dramatically’, then this could cause massive social change.

Society will be dominated by old people, and the population will be higher because of lower death rates.

The drug also will extend the life expectancy gap between the poor and the rich, because only the rich who can afford to buy anti-aging medicine.

Initially the drug will only prolong the life of a small number of about six months to a year. Yet scientists continue to improve care for extended life, so that people will increasingly younger and live longer.

“They’ll be stuck on a long life is more boring, and ultimately will choose to end his own life,” added Dr germ.

Bra that does not fit in the body could cause some minor disruption. Position that is uncomfortable bra can cause shortness of breath, back pain, muscle tension and irritation of the colon.

Dailymail quoted, some studies claim that excessive use of a bra can cause breast cancer. A survey of 4700 women conducted by scientists Sidney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer in the U.S., concludes that the possibility of developing breast cancer increases for women wearing a bra.

The survey showed that those who get cancer are people who wear a bra more than 12 hours per day.

This study concludes that the use of a bra can press the lymphatic system under the armpits and blocked in the network so it can not remove toxins. Over time, these toxins accumulate in breast tissue that makes breast cancer to form.

Two years ago, a study conducted by Japanese researchers found, the bra is too tight can push the skin. As a result, these conditions reduce the circulation of the hormone melatonin, thereby increasing the risk of breast cancer.

Problems bra is also a concern for women who will be entering menopause. A study in the University Hospital of Wales asked for 100 pre-menopausal women to go without a bra for three months. After three months, seven percent of women admitted free of pain after quitting wearing bras.

Here are the facts surrounding the bra and health:

1. Sports bra can cause breathing difficulties when used at any time. This bra should only be used during sports because it is more constructed bra and put more pressure on the breast.

2. Pressure bra can affect digestion. One study claimed a bra can cause constipation if the size does not fit. This is due to depressed diaphragm having an effect on digestion.

3. Several studies have found that the bra is too tight can cause lesions or lumps on the skin. This is caused by the brackets in the back of bra which can injure the skin. To avoid this, choose a bra with a thick rope, there are two sets of links and there are layers on the inside of the bra strap.

Then how to choose the right bra:

1. Choose a bra from the material that extra soft, padded and wide shoulder strap to reduce the burden on our shoulders.

2. Select a bra with a strap that can be arranged so you can customize the shape of your body. Two or three crocheted bra is better to use than a thin connection.

3. Pick an elastic bra that makes you easy to move around

Jakarta, Many people are turning to soy milk because of allergy to lactose, which is the main carbohydrate in cow’s milk. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each milk this?

Lactose, the main carbohydrate in cow’s milk, will cause digestive problems for some people. People who are intolerant (intolerant) to lactose by a deficiency of the enzyme lactose, which is necessary to break down lactose.

This makes people intolerant to produce gas, bloating and diarrhea after eating some form of dairy cows.

Soy milk is a substitute for people who are allergic to cow’s milk. Technically, soy milk is not milk as in cow’s milk, but juice beverage made from soybeans. Soy milk is also popular among vegetarians, because the basic material of plant origin.

Today, more people are deliberately choosing soy milk instead of cow’s milk for health benefits it offers. But the benefits of soy is still a debate, although it is generally accepted that soy milk contains a large number of compounds are very healthy.

The debate over soy milk and cow’s milk

The main difference between soy milk and cow’s milk is the source, ie plants and animals.

As quoted from SteadyHealth, Friday (14/05/2010), one cup of soy milk is not fortified (still pure, yet they were enriched) contains nearly 7 grams protein, 4 grams carbohydrates, 4.5 grams of fat and contain no cholesterol.

Although soy milk contains vitamin B, but this milk is not a source of B12 and do not provide significant calcium intake.

Since the soy milk made of cow’s milk substitute, the producers have offered versions of soy milk that has been enriched, with calcium, vitamin E, B12, vitamin D and other nutrients.

While milk cow to provide carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals, and fats. All cow’s milk contains 8 grams of protein and 12 grams of carbohydrate per cup. It is also a rich source of other nutrients.

One cup of cow’s milk provides 30 percent of the daily calcium requirement of adults, and about 50 percent of vitamin B12 and riboflavin. Often fortified with vitamin D to facilitate calcium absorption, and also vitamin A. So the cow’s milk is considered a complete food.

The advantage of dairy cow milk

Dairy cows experience the process of pasteurization, which is a process in which milk is heated, kills bacteria, enzymes and proteins are not profitable.

Cow’s milk is rich in enzymes and actually contains the 22 essential amino acids, including phosphate, which is essential for calcium absorption.

Raw cow’s milk or perahan has many health benefits and is the best source of calcium.

Milk is a source of vitamins, especially vitamin B12, which is an important vitamin that is hard to find from the sources of non-meat. And also contains enzymes IgG (Immunoglobulin), vitamins A, B and C.

Research also shows that the milk of dairy cows also contains enzymes and antibodies that actually make milk less susceptible to bacteria. Lipase is also present which aids digestion of fat.

Another great benefit is that cow milk contains CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) or conjugated linoleic acid, which has been observed to fight cancer.

The advantages of soy milk

The health benefits of soy milk it is irrefutable. However, many people who care about the ratio of soy milk with cow’s milk was measured.

Soy milk is high in protein, and because it is made from peanuts also contain a much higher fiber than cow’s milk.

The biggest benefit is the isoflavones from soy milk. These are chemicals that resemble the hormone estrogen. Isoflavones linked to health problems and is responsible for preventing many cancers, heart disease, osteoporosis and many other diseases.

Fat-free soy milk. Soy milk has 2 percent less fat than cow’s milk, but do not contain cholesterol.

Because soy milk made from peanuts, milk contains about 9 times less saturated fat than cow milk. In addition, soy milk has 10 times more fatty acids than cow’s milk, which is a healthy fat.

Cholesterol-free soy milk. In addition, soy can reduce Suu LDL cholesterol, whereas cow’s milk increase LDL cholesterol levels. Soy milk also provides additional protection to the liver with phytochemicals, abundant in soy milk.

Soy milk contains four times more the amount of thiamin (vitamin B1) and almost twice the amount of niacin (vitamin B3) compared with cow’s milk. Soy milk also contains more magnesium, copper and manganese from dairy cows.

Soy milk also contains 42 times the amount of manganese as well as cow’s milk. Manganese is necessary for bone formation. People with anemia requires manganese for iron storage.

Research has shown that men who drank two glasses of soy milk every day 70 percent lower prostate cancer. There are no similar findings about people who drink cow’s milk.

Weaknesses soy milk

The major shortcoming is the lack of soy milk contain calcium, which is only about a quarter of the calcium contained in dairy cows. Many manufacturers of soy milk to add calcium to their products, but studies show that it is not as healthy as natural calcium.

The core nine amino acids in the protein necessary to sustain life, cow’s milk and soy milk contain nearly identical amount.

Grams of cow’s milk has the fifth amino acid is more important than soy milk. Because one of the nine essential amino acids is methionine, this may be a triumph for lovers of cow’s milk. Cow’s milk contains two times more methionine than soy milk.

Soy milk contains riboflavin, about 60 percent less than cow milk. Riboflavin is an essential vitamin, but also found in certain grains, nutritional yeast, green leafy vegetables, beans, and wheat. Therefore, instead of cow’s milk for riboflavin resources necessary for people who eat a balanced diet.

Women who have breast cancer may need to limit the intake of soy protein, because several studies have pointed to possible dangers of consuming excess soy.

Another study published in the journal Human Reproduction, found 41 million fewer sperm per milliliter of semen after eating just one serving of soy-containing foods every two days.

But keep in mind, both kinds of milk was not given to infants under the age of one year. Breast milk is the food and beverages for babies, because all sources of nutrients needed for growth and development is contained in breast milk.
