Broccoli fights Cancer

New research report out today confirms broccoli can help fight cancer. Sure hope this is true. We need all the anti-cancer help we can get.

Almost a million and half people get cancer each year. 500,000 of them die. And researchers and doctors believe about 1/3 of these deaths are diet related.

Researchers say it's the first study to suggest that treatment with isothiocyanates (broccoli, caulifower,etc) can slow the progression of lung cancer as well as reduce the risk of tumors in people already exposed to cancer-causing substances, such as tobacco smoke.

So....eat your veggies. We are what we eat.

Your Aging Skin

Is beauty Skin deep ? No, its Bone deep. Thats part of a new report presented Sunday in a Chicago conference of Plastic Surgeons.

We see the signs of aging skin as we look in the mirror. Usually we blame the skin, the sun, our genes, etc. But this latest research shows we lose more than fat and elasticity as we age. We also lose bone volume as aging bone stucture changes. And our faces sag and our skin wrinkles making us look older than we really are.

What to do? Ah, plastic surgeons to the rescue. They can use ' filler ' to recreate lost volume. And maybe some forehead ' lifting ' and soft tissue ' repositioning.' For starters.

Is it painful ? Yes, when you get the bill ! :>)
