Short Summary of Men’s Breast Cancer

Men’s breast cancer is rare, but it happens to approximately 2000 men every year with thousands more reporting benign lumps or non-cancerous tissue growth. Men account for approximately one percent of all breast cancer patients. To learn more about male breast cancer, keep reading.
Symptoms of Breast Cancer in Men
Typically, any changes in tissue growth or bumps in men are usually benign (non-cancerous). However, that doesn’t mean men should feel comfortable in ignoring it.
The most common symptoms of breast cancer in men are actually quite similar to the symptoms for women. These include nipple inversion, detecting a lump, unexplained tissue growth, change in breast size, skin puckering or dimpling, nipple discharge, itchiness or redness.
Because men typically have less breast tissue than most women, it is generally easier to find and detect a breast lump on a man’s chest than on a woman’s. However, since breast cancer is so rare in men, many simply ignore these symptoms, allowing the disease to go untreated.

Which Anti-Aging Skincare Products Should I Use?

Anti-aging skin care products are very popular today; which is not surprising because we are all living longer and fuller lives so why shouldn’t we want to look younger? The skin care industry uses beauty products that increase the synthesis of the protein collagen, the main protein in skin which becomes less elastic as we age; collagen is so abundant, it makes up about a quarter of the total protein content of structural protein found in skin. Most anti-ageing products (collagen included) fall into a category of natural everyday products we all use; these are known as antioxidants, which remove toxins from the body.
Vitamin C is probably one of the better known anti-oxidants in use today but the debate about the daily quota required is ongoing. Unfortunately all skin care treatments that use vitamin C have the problem of atmospheric oxidization to contend with once the product is exposed to the air.
Manufacturers are trying alternative skin care treatments to vitamin C that do not have this oxidization problem or cost as much to produce. However, these anti-ageing skin care treatments are not as effective vitamin C based products, although vitamin E and lipoic acid are also anti-oxidants and have similar […]

Your Milk on Drugs

Milk is considered a traditional symbol of purity and nutrition, especially for children. But some milk has undergone a radical change. It’s not the same wholesome milk that our grandparents used to drink.Many experts believe that this altered milk is leading to cancer and other serious problems. Countless books, reports, articles and other journals had been published about this concern.The altered dairy products have been introduced in 1994 when farmers started injecting their cows with rBGH.Actually to start from the beginning, the FDA concluded in 1985 that beef and dairy products from rBST-supplemented cows were safe for human consumption. In November, 1993, FDA approved the rBST product by Monsanto, Posilac, to be used for milk production in dairy cows. And finally, rBST was included in dairy products in February, 1994.rBST is also known as rBGH (recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone), which is a same thing.What is rBST?Bovine somatotropin (BST) is a protein hormone naturally produced in the pituitary glands of cattle. Monsanto was able to develop a recombinant version, rBST, by using a genetically engineered E. coli bacteria. Packaged and sold under the brand name “Posilac,” farmers inject it into their cows to force cows to produce more milk - 5% […]
