A very interesting timely and relevant video clip has been created by the publisher of Consumer Reports, Consumers Union. Their online musical cartoon, The Drugs I Need, is a hilarious, yet undeniably truthful, lampoon of prescription drug marketing. The director of prescriptionforchange.org, a Consumer Union project that focuses on issues like drug safety, explained that the purpose behind The Drugs I Needis to send the message beyond the typical stale research reports and service the people who don't necessarily have the time in their busy schedules to wade through a lengthy document.

What really makes the video a success, though, is the lyrics, which gleefully describe all the various side effects of a multitude of multi-colored pills…Take a 60 second break and enjoy The Drugs I Need...

The One Thing You Definitely Do NOT Want To Eat...

A recent article spoke of a man who was undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The man's wife wanted to discuss his nutritional needs with his doctor, but the oncologist cut her off. He told her, "Your husband should eat whatever he wants to eat to keep his weight up."

This statement not only highlights a lack of understanding of nutrition, it also underscores the fact that many doctors are ignorant of advancements in their own field. Because there's one thing you definitely do NOT want to eat if you have or want to prevent cancer. And that's sugar.

In 1931, German scientist Otto Warburg, Ph.D., won his first of two Nobel Prizes. Dr. Warburg discovered that cancer cells require glucose (sugar) as fuel. All cells do, but cancer cells consume 4 to 5 times more glucose than normal cells. In other words, sugar feeds cancer.

So if you want to treat or prevent cancer, nutrition does matter. Cut out the sugar and refined carbohydrates. (Carbs are converted to glucose in your body.)

A recent study found that people who ate only a half cup of this delicious food every day for 30 days lowered their cholesterol levels by 10%. That's a quick 25-point drop if your count is 250 -- with NO drugs or drug side effects.

What's more, a 2001 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine demonstrated how this remarkable (and popular) food can also lower your risk for heart disease by 22%, plus it helps lower your blood pressure as well.

Can you manage half a cup a day? At most it will take you 2 minutes...What is this miracle food? Quaker Oatmeal...

The newly released annual report of the American Cancer Society entitled “Cancer Prevention and Early Detection: Facts and Figures,” estimates that healthier lifestyle practices and greater participation in cancer screening programs could cut deaths from the disease in half. The report discusses the importance of not smoking, good nutrition, proper weight maintenance, exercise, and utilization of tests such as mammography, colonoscopy, pap smears and prostate cancer screening. Deaths from cancer, cardiovascular disease and diabetes currently account for two-thirds of all mortality in the United States.

According to the report, 570,280 cancer deaths will occur in 2005, with 168,140 caused by tobacco. Want to stop smoking? Nicoban is our guaranteed 7 day stop smoking plan... Click here for details...

One-third of all projected deaths will be caused by poor nutrition, lack of exercise, or being overweight. The American Cancer Society recommends that you consume five or more servings of vegetables and fruits each day, and limit processed grains and sugars, and red meat. Alcoholic beverage consumption should be limited. With 65 percent of American adults classified as overweight or obese, calorie consumption should be carefully balanced or in most cases reduced.

A large number of projected deaths from cancers of the breast, cervix, colon and rectum could be prevented if men and women participated in regular screening for these cancers. Ninety-seven percent of breast cancer patients diagnosed at the localized stage are alive at five years, making early detection of the disease critical. (Editors note…my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 51…she lived a full normal life until she passed away last fall at age 94)…

The fact that half of the deaths from this major killer could be avoided is good news, and should encourage better nutrition and greater participation in cancer screening. While tobacco use continues to decline, obesity is increasing, making an awareness of proper nutrition and exercise even more critical.
