How to reduce your cancer risk when taking HRT

As you may know, hormone replacement therapy significantly increases your risk of breast cancer. But if you’re taking HRT, there’s new evidence you can protect yourself from this deadly disease.

In a recent study, researchers fed one group of rats apigenin and another group a placebo. Not familiar with apigenin? It’s a common compound found in parsley, celery, apples, oranges, nuts, and other plants.

Those rats eating the apigenin developed fewer tumors compared to rats that didn’t eat the compound. They also had significant delays in tumor development. This might be important for all women taking hormones of any kind.

Can this toothpaste prevent heart attacks?

You may have heard that bacteria from gum disease can contribute to heart attacks. Any time there’s arterial disease, I suspect bacteria. But up until now, all researchers had to connect oral bacteria to heart attack was the DNA of bacteria in arterial lesions. But, it’s also important to actually find living organisms.

As a result, researchers continue to look for the link between bad oral health and your blood vessels. Dr. Emil Kozarov and his team at Columbia University have been working on this for some time.

After I tell you what they’ve found, I’ll show you a simple way to stop the bacteria. According to this research team, inflammation in your mouth causes your white blood cells to move in. White blood cells ingest bacteria. But if they don’t succeed in killing the germ, they can inadvertently transport it to your arteries.

Should you take aspirin to prevent cancer?

An important study published earlier this year indicated that people who take aspirin every day reduce their risk of cancer by 21%. That is an amazing statistic! And it seems like an easy, inexpensive thing to do, with very little risk. But should you take aspirin to prevent cancer?

Researchers conducted this study to settle a discrepancy in the research. Several studies had shown that taking aspirin every day for more than five years reduces the risk of developing colorectal cancer. Animal studies also have confirmed that aspirin has a cancer-preventing effect.
