Are the Health Benefits of Alcohol worth the Risk?
Posted: May 21, 2010 |
We’ve all heard the news about the potential heart-health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption. It’s no wonder such stories grab headlines. They’re the nutritional equivalent of the classic media formula of “man bites dog.” As for the rest of us, we celebrate by raising a glass to our health.
But whenever I hear one of these reports, I wonder whether it actually ends up doing more harm than good. Most fail to mention the health risks of excessive alcohol consumption, which will do a body far more damage than moderate consumption will do it good. And they leave the impression that health benefits apply to men and women alike. Not so.
Most of the research regarding alcohol’s effects in raising good cholesterol, or HDL, levels looks at men and post-menopausal women. Very little, if any, evidence suggests that alcohol consumption in younger women is beneficial. Even worse, other studies associate younger women’s alcohol consumption with increased disease risk.
Up to 4 percent of breast cancers can be attributed to alcohol. According to a recent study in the British Journal of Cancer, every drink increases a woman’s chances of developing breast cancer. In a recent summary of 63 published studies, 65 percent of the studies found an association between alcohol consumption and increased breast cancer risk.
It’s tempting to dismiss these health risks by pointing to more obvious ones, like excess weight and inactivity. In fact, 54.3 percent of women age 20 to 39 are obese or overweight. But if you’re one of them and you’re trying to lose weight and increase fitness, drinking alcohol will hardly help you achieve your goals.
Add that much-ballyhooed glass of red wine a day without making any other changes in your diet or exercise, and you’ll gain nearly 15 pounds per year. In four years, you’ll be 60 pounds heavier, which won’t do much to help your heart.
Counting calories from alcohol can be doubly difficult. Not only are these calories less satisfying than those from food, these days they’re likely to come in super-sized martini glasses the size of swimming pools. Alcohol sabotages your diet in other ways as well. Lowered inhibitions can lead to overeating, while even one drink can dampen your metabolism for up to 24 hours.
Bottom line: Be honest with yourself. Don’t use health claims about spirits as an excuse to justify excessive drinking which endangers your life, liver, looks and limbs. Keep in mind that plenty of other, better ways to improve heart health are out there. Start by getting and staying fit. Exercise at least five times each week. And eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, whose antioxidants may reduce the risk of heart disease by reducing the oxidation of cholesterol in your arteries.
Most of all, remember that less is more. And get all the facts before you go looking for your health at the bottom of a glass of booze.

The Benefits of Green Tea – Cancer
Posted: May 29, 2007 | Views: 310 |
]]>
Compounds in Green Tea that are thought to help against cancer:
Catechins
A green tea leaf contains catechins, they are the components that give a bitter taste to the tea.
EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) accounts for 10%-50% of the total green tea catechins. By virtue of its peculiar stereochemical structure, EGCG possesses much stronger anti-oxidant qualities than the other catechins found in green tea and plays an important role in preventing cancer and cardiovascular diseases. ECGC remove oxidised free radicals from the body which prevents damage to the cells and DNA. The anti oxidant properties of EGCG are believed to be 100 more times more effective than vitamin C and 25 times more effective than vitamin E. (http://www.herbs-tech.com/product/egcg.asp)
Flavonoids
Flavonoids are plant pigments; they are the brightly coloured chemical constituents found in most fresh fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids are essential for processing vitamin C and are needed to maintain capillary walls. They may aid in protecting against infection and deficiency can result in a tendency to bruise easily.
Health benefits
Reduces the risk of cancer
Acting components: Flavonoids and Catechins
How:
Carcinogens are cancer causing agents. Phytochemicals may prevent carcinogens from forming. Flavonoids are a type of phytochemical found in Green tea. Experimental studies have shown that tea and tea polyphenols have anti-carcinogenic properties against breast cancer.¹
Studies also suggest that ECGC may reduce the risk of cancer.²
A population-based, case-control study of breast cancer among Chinese, Japanese and Filipino women in Los Angeles County suggested an inverse link between Green tea intake and the development of breast cancer. ³ Similar study was done with women in Italy which showed a similar inverse link.?
Results from animal studies and possible cancer inhibitory mechanisms might be applicable to human cancer prevention. The results and possible applications are discussed in a study by C.S Yang et al. 2000. ?
‘Free radicals attack healthy cells, which changes their DNA, allowing tumors [sic] to grow. Antioxidants are substances that inhibit the oxidation process and act as protective agents. Antioxidants Research is underway to investigate the role of antioxidants in decreasing the risk of developing cancer. ’
(http://cancer.stanford.edu/information/nutritionAndCancer/reduceRisk/)
Catechins found in green tea are noted for their antioxidant properties.?

Restrains tumours
Acting component: Catechins (EGCG and ECG)
How:
EGCG stops the growth of tumours by inducing apoptosis¹ (process of cell self destruction), inhibiting cell-growth and disrupting the cell-cycle. ²
EGCG suppresses the growth of cancerous cells, ECG in some cases was found to be more effective as suppressing growth than EGCG. ³ Green tea contains both of these Catechins.
Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing capillaries. This process is involved in the development of cancer. Angiogenesis is necessary for tumour growth, as it provides nutrients and oxygen for the growing tumour. A potential mechanism by which green tea may prevent cancer development is through the inhibition of angiogenesis.?
Researchers at the University of Murcia in Spain (UMU) and the John Innes Center (JIC) in Norwich have shown that EGCG prevents cancer cells from growing by binding to a specific enzyme.
-Research is published in the International Journal for Cancer Research.

The Powerful Benefits Of Mushrooms Prevent Heart Disease, Lower Cholesterol and Prevent Breast Cancer
We all know that vegetables are good for your health, but most don’t know the benefits of eating mushrooms. They have incredible nutrients that can prevent illness, diseases and medical conditions. Did you know that they can prevent and lower your risk of breast cancer?
The white button mushrooms might look ordinary, but when it comes to consuming them they actually lower estrogen levels, which can cause breast cancer. They are loaded with conjugated linolenic acid, a compound that helps protect against the too high levels of estrogen that are linked to breast cancers reports the journal Cancer Research. In a study they reduced the growth of breast cancer tumors by as much as 58%, says lead study author Shiuan Chen, Ph.D., of the Beckman Research Institute at City of Hope in Duarte, California.
Furthermore, they also are packed with disease fighting antioxidants that boost your natural killer cells and protect you from viruses and infections. Here’s a tip on how to keep them fresh; refrigerate prepackaged mushrooms unopened for up to a week; store loose ones in a paper bag. Airtight containers cause condensation that will lead to spoilage.
Oyster mushrooms helps protect your heart from clogged arteries. They are a top source of antioxidant ergothioneine, which research has showed that it blocks the buildup of artery clogging plaque in the blood vessels. Ergothioneine reduces the stick molecules that help plaster plaque forming cells according to study author Keith R. Martin, Ph.D. And eating a cup of these mushrooms a day decreases your chances of cholesterol; it can drop cholesterol by 28%. If you have heart problems like congestive heart failure, Aventrol helps with the circulation of the heart and blood flow for better health. Resterol is another health supplement that lowers cholesterol dramatically, protects your heart and prevents stroke and heart disease.
