Mammography is not a Good Breast Cancer Detection and Can Cause Cancer

June 5th, 2011

Deaths from breast cancer usually appears between ages 30 to 50 years. Fortunately, today you have more choice in detecting breast cancer than a few decades ago.
But unfortunately, the education and socialization will these options and their effectiveness in detecting breast cancer in different levels is lacking.
Compared Mammography Better
At the beginning of his article, Beyond Mammography, Dr. Len Saputo told that he followed the development of all detection methods used by the medical community, including mammography, clinical breast test, ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and PET scans.
In the next section, Dr. Len describes a detection method that is better than mammography, explained with great detail how to date and this one method, namely breast thermography (breast Thermography).
Breast thermography, breast cancer detection method that has existed since around the 1960s, using a scanner monitors the heat to heat variation detecting breast dijaringan body. However, infrared scanners in those years was less sensitive. Today, more modern breast thermography has undergone a very rapid progress than ever before.
Breast cancer is the second most malignant cancer for women in the United States. Based on the latest reports Cancer.org, Breast Cancer Data 2007-2008, in 2007 there were 178,000 new breast cancer cases and more than 40,000 women die from it.
But to watch is men are not immune to breast cancer. It has been found more than 2,000 men diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and approximately 450 men die from it. Therefore detection of breast cancer for men almost never done, this seems to make a man diagnosed with a more severe stage and thus a small survival rate.
Unfortunately, in this case the conventional medical still wearing the old method in detecting and treating cancer, no matter how less effective methods.
Use of mammography as a standard is one example of the conventional medical errors in detecting cancer.
The Case Against Mammography
Healthcare institutions in the United States recommends all women over 40 years to get a mammogram every 1 or 2 years, but there is no strong evidence that screening tests could save lives and the benefits were too controversial. Precisely mammography for health hazards have been clearly identified.
John Gofman, M.D., Ph.D. – A nuclear physicist and a medical doctor, and one of the world-class experts in the field of radiation hazards, presenting irrefutable evidence in his book “Radiation from Medical Procedures in the pathogenesis of Cancer and Ischemic Heart Disease,” which explains that more than 50% mortality due to cancer is actually triggered by the use of x-ray.
Now consider the fact that the routine practice of taking 4 images in each breast one film each year, resulting in approximately 1 rad (radiation absorbed dose) exposure to radiation, it means the same thing with 1,000 times greater than the chest x-ray photographs.
How Mammography Increase Your Risk of Cancer Affected
X-rays and ionizing radiation other classmates in a few decades has been shown to cause any kind of biological mutation. At first biological mutation is not lethal. But these mutations gradually accumulate with each additional exposure to x-ray or other ionizing radiation.
X-rays are also known to cause genomic instability, which is one characteristic of the most aggressive cancers.
In addition, the risk of radiation is 4 times greater for 1-2% of women who are carriers of the AT gene (ataxia-telangiectasia), which in the calculation of an average of 20% per year on breast cancer patients.
When taken into account, reducing the frequency of medical radiation exposure, such as mammograms will reduce mortality.
The practice of screening mammography itself resulted in a cumulative risk of breast cancer, especially for women who were premenopausal at the time.
What’s worse, the false positive diagnosis often occurs at 89%, which resulted in many women get mastectomy (surgical removal of breast) an unnecessary and harmful, coupled with radiation or chemotherapy.
In certain cases mammography is beneficial. But the fact is that out there there are proven technologies that are cheaper, really do not endanger health and more effective in saving many people.
Now imagine what if you are able to look inside yourself and find out what would happen and “developing” 10 years later in your breast, where it will enable you to take a step towards the development of cancer PREVENTION early and radically change lifestyles for health you.
The technology has existed since the 1960s, namely screening for breast thermography.
Screening for Breast thermography – Safer Alternative methods and more effective
Most doctors still recommend mammograms for fear of being sued by a female patient who developed breast cancer because she did not advise patients to check with a mammogram. But I advise you to think about your health and to consider alternative methods of safer and more effective than a mammogram.
Options for breast screening that I highly recommend is breast thermography screening.
Screening of thermography is very simple. He measured the infrared radiation heat from your body and translates this information into the form of images. Normal blood circulation you are in control autonomik nervous system that regulates the function of your body.

Thermography does not use mechanical equipment that suppress or ionizing radiation, and can detect signs of breast cancer before it develops 10 years earlier than mammography or physical examination!
Mammography can not detect a tumor until the tumor unless it has long been grown and certain size. But it is different with thermography where she was able to detect the possibility of breast cancer much earlier.
It can even detect the potential presence of cancer before a tumor was formed because he could describe the early stages of angiogenesis, the formation of a direct channeling of blood to cancer cells, which is a necessary step before the formation of the developing grow to the size of the tumor.
Many men would be saved his life by these methods because mammography is not regularly applied to men.
Other risk factors are usually ignored and How You Avoid It
Breast density and circulating levels of sex hormones are two of the high breast cancer risk factors commonly found in women in post-menopausal stage. A study in 2007 which was published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute confirmed that although the two factors usually appear together, they are also an independent risk factor.
The researchers found that (after controlling other factors) when breast density is not taken into account, women with a total circulation of high sex hormone, has a risk of developing breast cancer is two times greater than those with low circulating sex hormones. And the women who have breast density one-quarter higher, have a risk four times greater than low, regardless of sex hormone levels.
The women with both factors, namely high sex hormone and the most dense breasts have a risk six times greater of developing breast cancer.
The pengemuka in this study emphasizes the importance of screening and perhaps, most important is to maintain a balanced weight to keep the hormone levels remain good. American Cancer Society acknowledges that obesity is very influential on several deaths due to cancer.

Early Oral cavity cancer; Do not trivial Sprue

June 4th, 2011

Sprue…! The words we often hear on various supplements drug ads on television milling heat. Thrush, oral cavity disorders, is sometimes taken lightly by the sufferer. Whether taken any action in the hope of missing the disease itself or to consume lots of sauce that is believed to cure canker sores. Although this disease often occurs in people, it turns out no one knows what causes canker sores.
As stated Dr. drg. Harmas Yazid Yusuf, SpBM of Hasan Sadikin Hospital (RSHS), Bandung, thrush is a common language for a variety of lesions / bumps that arise in the oral cavity. Usually the type of canker sores that often occur daily in the oral cavity called Aftosa Recurrent Stomatitis (SAR).
Symptoms include pain or burning one to two days later could arise wound (ulcer) in the oral cavity. Pain and burning sensation in the mouth ulcer is to make us difficult to eat and drink. So sometimes patients with SAR coming to the dentist in a state of weakness.
“It’s often affect anyone. Not knowing the age or sex. Usually the areas most often arise SAR is in the mucosal inner cheek, inner lip, tongue and on the ceiling,” said drg. Harmas in a conversation with reporters on the sidelines of IX National Congress of Indonesian Association of Oral Surgeons, held in Bandung, recently.
Asked the main causes of canker sores occur, drg. Harmas said that, until now the main cause of canker sores is unknown. But experts predict many things that cause the occurrence of this sprue, among others, the deficiency (deficiency) of vitamin B12 and iron. Besides the possibility of viral and bacterial infections as the originator of the occurrence of this sprue. “Some are saying that the sprue is an abnormal immunologic reaction in the oral cavity,” he said.
Many opinions expressed emergence of thrush because of a lack of vitamin C. But these opinions are not entirely correct. That does not mean you are deficient in vitamin C when exposed to canker sores. There are other factors that play a role that is more stress.
“Now that quite often happens to us, especially busy in the city is experiencing stress. Many studies showed that psychological factors caused by stress is the biggest factor thrush,” he said.
Efforts that can be done to avoid thrush is to maintain the cleanliness of the oral cavity and consume adequate nutrition, particularly those containing vitamin B12 and iron. Besides do not forget to avoid stress. But if it is thrush always intermittent, you can try to gargle warm salt-water gargle and go to the dentist to ask the right medicine for mouth ulcer.

Oral cavity cancer
Although canker sores seem trivial, drg. Harmas calls attention if mouth ulcer sufferers who had suffered prolonged. Because it could be early signs of oral cancer. Similarly, disorders of the mouth, such as a tooth infection that causes tooth rocking. If the cause tooth was rocking oral cancer, tooth extraction could be disastrous because facilitate the spread of cancer to other vital organs.
Drg. Harmas call, oral cavity cancer have symptoms that is, the sprue prolonged for more than two weeks, and lymph nodes in neck pain and mild swelling. “In addition there is also the lumps are quite large in the oral cavity region,” said drg. Harmas told reporters on the sidelines.
Harmas explains, oral cavity cancer is classified as dangerous and difficult to cure because most new cases detected in a state of information. To that end, he advocated the dentist be aware of early symptoms of oral cancer is a prolonged form of canker sores and tooth infections.
Oral cavity cancer is cancer in the oral cavity and pharynx. Pharynx is a channel located between the nasal cavity and oral cavity and esophagus, including cancer of the lips, tongue, salivary glands, gums, floor of the mouth, and other parts of the buccal mucosa.
If found in an advanced stage, oral cancer usually can not be raised again because it is spread far. The spread covers the head, neck lymph nodes, lungs, until the lever.

Vitamin C
One thing to note dalah how to be wise when taking vitamin C. Because vitamin C is too large a dose could interfere with the absorption and use of vitamin B-12 by the body. He also lowered certain drugs work, and can cause kidney stones and diarrhea.
High consumption of vitamin C in the short term also can make us even like lack of vitamin C. Pregnant women who consume 400 milligrams of vitamin C per day during pregnancy, will give birth to babies who sprue. The amount of vitamin C in the blood will also be lower than normal if the person who used to eat vitamin C naturally.
Vitamin C can not be stored in the body. So it should be consumed every day. But due to high awareness of the need for vitamin C, many of those around us eat excessively.
Being wise to the vitamin C, as well as mengakrabinya as it is. Because the intake is very important for the body. Especially for those who often suffer from thrush, Scurvy, swollen gums or mouth sores which if observed correctly, not a trivial disease. Can cause stiffness in the joints of bones, bleeding under the skin and tissues deeply, slow healing wounds, until anemia. While canker sores can occur in all age groups, even in infants aged 6-24 months.
Vitamin C is important as forming collagen, a protein that functions as a “cement” glue between tissues of the body. Collagen is formed from prokolagen, which contain amino acids and hidroksilisin hidroksiprolin. Two amino acids were changed from proline and lysine, having previously prokolagen formed.
The process of change in proline and lysine in this prokolagen by prolil hydroxylase enzymes, which require the presence of ferrous iron ions. In fact, the material is unstable and easily oxidized. So the task of vitamin C is to keep the ferrous iron ion is not oxidized.
Lack of vitamin C resulted in the hydroxylation process prokolagen reduced. So that the collagen fibers that form becomes more fragile. As a result, such as soft tissue in the oral cavity, connective tissue between the flesh and teeth, flesh and bones, easily torn, so arises the sprue.
The walls of capillary blood vessels in the network have also broken, causing bleeding, such as the gums. Bleeding gums, and its network is weak and soft. Dentine, which lies beneath a layer of tooth enamel and become part of the tooth, broken. Chewers tool that is unstable and the process of destruction of food becomes difficult. Joints were sore. Thus vitamin C deficiency in infants can lead to disruption of the formation of bone tissue.
Bleeding in the skin will cause effects that are more severe, such as the emergence of blue-black spots appear on the skin, the appearance of red spots all around the place of hair growth, such as hands, buttocks, arms, and back.
The cells of the hair grower does not receive nutrients from the blood, so the hair grows coarse and stiff. If bleeding occurs in heart or brain tissue, patients can die suddenly sprue. This could happen if someone deficiency of vitamin C for 5 months! So no need to overdo the vitamin C, rather than a healthy would actually hurt.

Fight Cancer with IBM Computers

June 3rd, 2011

Cancer is the second most deadly disease in the world. The number of sufferers continues to increase from time to time.

A cancer prevention assistance projects, Word Community Grid (WCG) Help Fight Childhood Cancer IBM launched in Japan.

Now, IBM’s embrace Indonesia Foundation Children’s Oncology and Cancer Hospital Dharmais socialize this program is to combat neurological cancer (neuroblastoma).

WCG is a program of collective parallel computing, where computer users can contribute by donating their computer time which is not in use (idle) to identify three million candidates for the treatment of potentially inhibit the growth of all three proteins believed to cause cancer.

To be able to participate in this program, computer users simply install the CD that IBM provides to the computer or install directly from the official WCG website. Later on every computer in an idle state will be directly connected to the lab and resources will be collected in a single server.

“The power produced is very large, which is commensurate with the three most powerful supercomputers in the world,” said Hartini Harris, Country Manager, Marketing IBM Indonesia, at the launch of childhood cancer prevention assistance projects in Dharmais hospital on Tuesday (05/12/2009) .

Hartini further added, “This study can spend less time over 200 years if only using the power of a computer, but through the WCG, it is expected that research can be completed in less than a year.”

“The risk of mobile phone radiation on the cancer can not be ignored”

June 2nd, 2011

World Health Organization (WHO) has observed that there is no increased risk of cancer in phone users. But the new evidence makes the WHO announced that mobile phone radiation should not be ignored because it can be caused brain cancer.
But the announcement this time, the WHO said could not rule out that risk because there has been little research on effects of long-term cell phone use.
Recent research reveals mobile phone radiation can cause brain cancer risk. Mobile phone radiation with carcinogenic substances categorized as dangerous as lead, smoke exhaust, and chloroform.
This was announced by World Health Organization, World Health Organization (WHO), as quoted by CNN and the BBC on Wednesday (06/01/2011).
WHO mentions the possibility of brain cancer risk for cell phone users who do not use mobile phones and almost the same magnitude. So that WHO can only remind the risk for mobile phone users more wise to use his cell phone.
Research conducted by a team of 31 scientists from 14 countries, including the United States. The decision was made after more in-depth review about the safety of using mobile phones. The team found sufficient evidence to categorize as a type of cell phone radiation harmful substance to humans.
The team found evidence of increased risk of glioma brain cancer and increased acoustic neuroma for mobile phone users. But can not draw conclusions for other types of cancers.
This finding is somewhat contrary to previous research results are also conducted by the WHO. In 2010, WHO released the results of observations during 10 years showed that there was no increased risk of brain cancer in particular glioma and meningioma.
In a study involving 13,000 mobile phone users in 13 countries, the duration of the use of mobile phones ranges from 2 to 2.5 hours / month. While the maximum duration is 1640 hours in the next 10 years, or an average of 1.5 hours / day.
Today the European Environment Agency has been pushing for further study. This independent body to reveal the phone can pose a risk as great as smoking, asbestos and leaded gasoline.
Related to the latest findings about the dangers of cell phone radiation, the head of a prominent cancer research institute at the University of Pittsburgh sent a memo to all employees urging them to limit cell phone use because of possible cancer risks.

Cancer: Squamous Cell Carcinoma

June 1st, 2011

DEFINITIONS
Squamous Cell Carcinoma is cancer that originates from the middle layer of the epidermis.

Bowen disease is a form of squamous cell carcinoma limited to the epidermis and has not infiltrate into the underlying tissue (dermis).
Exposed skin looked red-brown and scaly or scabbed and flat, sometimes resembling spots on psoriasis, dermatitis or fungal infection.

CAUSE
More than 90% of skin cancers grow in areas exposed to sunlight or other ultraviolet light.
This is believed to be the main cause of all types of skin cancer.

Other risk factors are:
• Genetic factors (skin cancer is more often found in the light-skinned, blue or green eyes and blond or red hair)
• Contamination by chemicals
• Excessive exposure by X-ray or other radiation

SYMPTOMS
Squamous cell carcinoma usually occurs on sun-exposed skin, but can also grow on any skin or in certain places (eg, tongue or lining of the mouth).
This cancer can grow in normal skin and in skin damaged by sun exposure (actinic keratosis).

Squamous cell carcinoma often begins as a scaly reddish area with surface scab that do not heal.
Then the tumor would grow stand out, sometimes the surface resembles a wart.
In the end the cancer becomes an open wound and grow into the tissue beneath.
DIAGNOSIS
Diagnosis based on symptoms.

To distinguish skin cancer from other diseases, performed a biopsy (taking samples of skin tissue for examination under a microscope).

TREATMENT
Squamous cell carcinoma and Bowen disease treated by lifting the tumor, either by kuretasi and elektrodesikasi or cut with a scalpel.

Actinic keratoses can turn into squamous cell carcinoma.
Actinic keratoses were destroyed with a solution of nitrogen or fluorouracil cream.

PREVENTION
Protect your skin from the sun by using a hat, long sleeved shirt, long pants or long skirts.

Sunlight is the most powerful in the daytime, so avoid sunlight during the day.

Use high-quality sunscreen (minimum SPF 15).
Apply sunscreen at least half an hour before sun exposure and repeat frequently.

Check your skin regularly, things that need to be suspected are:
• There is new growth that forms slowly healing ulcers or
• Change the color, size and structure of growth in the skin or the presence of inflammation, pain, itching or bleeding
• sores on the skin of asymmetric, irregular boundary edges, the color is more than 1 kind or a diameter greater than 6 mm.

Body Odor Can Increase Breast Cancer Risk

May 31st, 2011

Excessive body odor was touted as one of the factors that can increase the risk of breast cancer. Although the results of scientific research Japan is still very early, but this could be a signal for women to further maintain the cleanliness of himself.

Japanese scientists recently have discovered a gene variation associated with risk of breast cancer are also associated with body odor and ear wax.

The invention is not intended to create worry among women, said Toshi Ishikawa, PhD, professor of Biomolecular Engineering at Tokyo Institute of Technology. Instead, he said, “we are very hopeful that we will provide a new and better ways to predict the risk of breast cancer” by using new methods developed by this team.

Having a wet ear wax or excessive body odor does not mean a woman to get breast cancer, says Ishikawa. “To be clear, I have to explicitly mention that the [discovery of the gene variation associated with body odor, wet ear wax, and the risk of breast cancer] is one factor that can increase the risk of breast cancer,” says Ishikawa. “It is also closely related to other factors, such as environmental factors and mutations of tumor killer genes such as BRCA1, BRCA2, p53, and so on.”

In this study, Ishikawa and his team extracted DNA from blood samples taken from 124 volunteers at Nagasaki University of Japan.

They study the ABCC11 gene, discovered in 2001. Variations of this gene have been associated with increased risk of breast cancer. These variations, called SNPs (“snips”) or single nucleotide polymorphisms, which can only occur when a nucleus of a cell or molecular changes. Although many SNPs do not affect the workings of cells, experts believe that sometimes there are variations that can cause a person to certain diseases such as cancer or affect the person’s response to treatment.

In this study, Ishikawa observe the activity of proteins made by the gene ABCC11, ABCC11 find the relationship between genes, body odor and ear wax. Then they found the mechanism that regulates cell ear wax, excessive body odor and breast cancer risk.

Women Do not Worry

Women do not have to worry with these results, says Christy Russell, MD, professor of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. “At this moment the research is still very early and the women do not need to be concerned by the problem of body odor and dirt ears as a sign that they may have a higher risk of breast cancer.”

“The problem with body odor and ear wax is common to everyone” he said.

The researchers are expected to know exactly the level of cellular mechanism that resulted in three conditions above (body odor, ear wax and breast cancer), said Gerald Weissmann, MD, of The FASEB Journal and a professor of Biotechnology Study Center at New York University.

This is a study that combines the science of genetics, human anthropology, and molecular and cell biology. Development of a rapid method of SNP typing can be used to help predict the risk of serious diseases like cancer by analyzing the things that are considered trivial, such as body odor and ear wax. “

Cancer Spine, How Symptoms?

May 30th, 2011

Spine cancer is very rarely encountered. Cases of cancer of the spine of the most common is the metastasis, which is cancer originating from other parts of the body and spread to the spine. When cancer spreads, or originated in this region, usually affects one or more parts of the spine. If someone develops cancer of the spine, either primary or secondary, it will show different symptoms of the disease.
Primary bone cancer in the spine are rare. Cancer in the spine can cause destruction of healthy cells of bone patients. Cancer tumors not only damage the bones of the spine but also damage the spinal cord sufferers. Symptoms of bone cancer in the spine include pain, broken bones and numbness or weakness.
Pain
The most common sign of cancer of the bone in the spine is pain in the neck or back. The pain will continue and be accompanied by other symptoms. This pain can be just in the back, can also spread to other limbs. Development depends only on the location of abnormal growths. If the cancer is causing a small amount of inflammation and irritation, the pain usually remains behind. If the cancer is pressing the nerve, the pain diffuse out to the “branch” agencies. No matter the source of pain, cancer of the spine cause chronic discomfort.

Weakness
If the cancer place considerable pressure on the nerves, a person will suffer from weakness. This is largely due to the interference with the impulses from the spinal cord. If the cancer causing major inflammation in the back, the brain is no longer able to communicate well with his feet. As a result, patients may find it difficult to walk, carrying, reaching for something, or holding.
Sensitivity decreases
Cancer of the spine can affect the sensation of touch. Because the spinal cord is the nerve center, inflammation or pressure in this area can lead to a reduction of sensation. Object may no longer feel hot or cold to the touch. Similar to the inability of the brain to communicate with the limb, the limb becomes fully communicate with the brain.

Incontinence
Cancer spine can also cause incontinence. These symptoms are very similar to the weakness, because the pressure on certain nerves in the spine that is responsible for controlling the performance of the bladder and intestine. If the impulse is interrupted, can cause a person to lose control of their bladder, bowel, or both.

Paralysis
Along with the development of cancer of the spine, a person may suffer from paralysis. Depending on the severity of cancer, paralysis can be isolated to one limb. The size and location of growth determines the amount of paralysis, because the cancer can get to the point where the nerves seemed to break or lesion has been formed on the nerve itself.

Meat (pork) and cancer

May 29th, 2011

Why are forbidden to eat pork in the heavenly religions (religion which originated from the Middle East)?
Why are forbidden to eat pigs and dogs in ancient Batak religion? (A friend Batak Batak nyeletuk that people just eat pork and dog after hit Christian influence)
Why my body refuses to be fed pork?
Why is the consumption of pork makes people spiritually blind?
The honest answer: I do not know. I just know that eating pigs, cows, goats et al in addition to making the body sick (not comfortable at the physical level) also makes me not able to meditate, made nervous like hell (not comfortable at the mental level).
Why is the consumption of red meat (beef, pork, lamb etc) and its organs (viscera) is associated with colon cancer?
with hypertension (high blood pressure)?
with heart disease?
with arthritis (rheumatoid arthritis)?
The answer: first the people did not know, because the average results of research from the fields of epidemiology, found a correlation between a and b, but does not explain “why?” But lately little by little secrets begin to unfold.
From that say meat and organs of mammals contain polyamines (such as arginine), N-nitroso compounds, leaving the digestive process of ammonia (NH3), trigger K-ras gene mutation. K-ras is a (proto) oncogenes in which the mutation is one of the first steps in the chain of events that make normal cells become malignant (read: cancer).
I love lazy to link again, if want to know more please look for their own articles on Pubmed. In short, all the above can lead to cancer! Unfortunately I have not found an article that explains something else (heart disease, etc.). Although my friend said, the consumption of goat makes the blood so thick it literally (whew make clotting factors rise ???). I grinned, it does create a higher risk of stroke donk … but doesn’t find Dink article, so I can not clarification.
To me the hell, these articles provide a scientific background to eat meat why mammals in general and in particular pork, not good for humans. About why, wow, I ga know too, not that create hell. Next time if you have a friend wondered, “Why do lo ga eat meat (pork)?” Now make a rational   can I love tale above, interlude for spiritual reasons mulu pake bored. Iye, because it continues the standard answer, “I kagak pain really eat meat (pork).”
Want to know that eating meat (pork) it’s actually suitable for human ga? Try this method deh: being a vegetarian, wrote a month clean. Later it can understand his point. In addition to more fit body, also improves the quality of sexual life. There is a desperate attempt? If any, may result to my story.

Formalin Use Causes Long-Term Cancer

May 28th, 2011

Who would have thought a sweet candy flavor of milk which has been the
favorite of mothers and children turned out to contain dangerous toxins,
formalin. This makes us sad. How not, formalin is
harmful preservatives that are not allowed in food and beverages because
long-term formalin in the body will lead to cancer.

According to the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM), a number of brands
candy imported from China containing formaldehyde. Brand in question
among others, White Rabbit Creamy Candy, Kimboy, Classic Candy, blackcurrant,
White Rabbit and plums that they do not have a marketing authorization, and candy
White Rabbit MOH SP No.231/10.09/96 numbered.

Executive Board of the Public Relations Society of Internal Medicine Specialist Indonesia
(PB PAPDI) Dr.Ari Fahrial Sham, SpPD, said the health effects of formaldehyde
on someone can be caused by exposure to acute or chronic exposure.

“Exposed to the direct (acute) in formalin will cause shortness of breath, eye
red, or skin irritation. Ingestion will cause severe injury in
the digestion, “he said when contacted KCM by phone on Wednesday (1 / 8).

While formaldehyde in food is often consumed will cause
ongoing chronic exposure. In the long run, the formalin will cause
changes in tissue structure and mutations of genes that change cell function
and ultimately can lead to cancer.

“Formalin on the candy was a small dose and after eating and then contacts
the network will be lost. But if consumed will continue to
cause changes in tissues and cells become faster. Decades later
will be found cases of cancer at a young age, “said Ari long Sham
width.

In addition, formalin also causes neurological disorders, manifestations
a decreased ability of thinking, difficulty sleeping, forgetfulness, and impaired
concentration. In women suspected of formalin also causes sterility
(Infertility).

“Animal studies showed formaldehyde to cause cancer, hence
government should do a massive raid on the foods and products
beverages and the results communicated to the public which products are safe and
that is not based on research BPOM, “said Ari Sham.

Added by Ari Sham, the people are not well informed about
safety of food products. Therefore, he recommends consumption
vegetables and fruits increased. “Apart from being an antioxidant, a source of fiber and
nutrition, vegetables and fruits also to neutralize toxins without us
realize enters the body, “he said.

Food products that need to be suspected of containing formaldehyde among other noodles
wet, tofu, tempeh, meatball, and fishery products. In addition, consumers also
need to be cautious with the use of other chemicals, such as borax, sour
salicylate, potassium bomat, potassium chlorate, Dietilpirokarbonat (DEP), and
Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO). For that consumers should be vigilant in
buy food, especially the household products industry, which until now
supervision is still difficult.

Teenage Cancer Risk Steady despite Bask

May 27th, 2011

SOME survey results indicate sunbathing and tanning remains a trend among teenagers even though they are aware of the risks of cancer.

As quoted from Web MD (2 / 3), the trend is increasingly in demand tanned skin. No doubt, many young women in America and Europe who like sunbathing on the beach or tanning for their skin appear darker. In fact, if they are not limited to, exposure to excessive ultraviolet rays can cause skin cancer.

American Academy of Dermatology held a poll of about 3800 white teen daughter between the ages of 14 and 22 years. As a result, thousands of girls carrying a lot trying to get more tan skin by constantly being in the sun or switch to a tanning booth or do both.

Here are some findings from the survey:

1. As many as 32 ​​percent of respondents had used tanning facilities in the past year. Even a quarter do tanning at least once a week.
2. As many as 81 percent often sunbathe outdoors on a regular basis in the past year.
3. As many as 42 percent of those who commit tanning indoors are more concerned about wrinkles than sun.
4. As many as 65.5 percent of respondents thought they would look more attractive with brown skin. As many as 87.3 percent of teens who do tanning think alike.
5. Girls who have tanning most admitted they do that by following each step mother.
