17 beers away keep prostate cancer away
PORTLAND, Ore. - For many men, a finding by Oregon researchers sounds too good to be true: An ingredient in beer seems to help prevent prostate cancer, at least in lab experiments.
The trouble is you'd theoretically have to drink about 17 beers a day for any potential benefit. And no one's advising that.
Researchers at Oregon State University say that the compound xanthohumol, found in hops, inhibits a protein in the cells along the surface of the prostate gland. The protein acts like a switch that turns on a variety cancers, including prostate cancer.
Dr. Richard N. Atkins, CEO of the National Prostate Cancer Coalition, said the experiments are encouraging and "perhaps men could take it in pill form someday."
Wow... imagine you can get drunk by just taking pills.. LOL!! Please guys, don't use this excuse to start drinking eh...
Tiba2 ramai org datang Brunei, all my colleagues are here so everything is good! I'm treated like a baby here since I'm the youngest, like I can't take care of myself. Me no like... I was second youngest for a few months, but....
World Cup fever.. susah nak tgk especially the 3am game.. Every morning bangon tgk result, pegi keja, then balik rumah tgk replay.. tapi dah tak syok ah.. Wish I'm still in Aberdeen, at least nak tgk senang coz all games are after work. I think the management should exercise easy hours during World Cup, that way we can come to office at noon and be back by 8. Then we can watch all the games, have a good sleep and back to work. Everything should still go smoothly rite..
