Green tea may have a therapeutic and positive effect in reduced risk and progression and treatment of carbuncle, a skin disease, some scientists suggested.
Carbuncle is a collection of boils developed under the skin caused by bacterial infection of hair follicles in the induction of swelling.
Although the infections are most likely developing on the follicles of the hair, they can also appear on other areas of the body such as the buttocks, thighs, groin, and armpits.
Researchers suggested that people who are older age, obesity, poor hygiene, and poor health are most likely associated with an increased risk of carbuncles.
However, chronic skin conditions, chronic kidney disease,.... and liver disease are also increased the prevalent risk of the infection.
According to the University of Miami School of Medicine, "Skin infections account for a significant portion of dermatologic disease, often resulting in or as a consequence of a disruption in the skin's integrity" and " The infections presented herein include impetigo, ecthyma, folliculitis, carbuncles/furuncles, cellulitis, toxic shock syndrome, and ecthyma gangrenosum"(4).
The differentiation hinted that people with carbuncle are also susceptible to the onset of skin disease.
Green tea is a precious drink that processed a number of health benefits known to almost everyone in Asia and the Western world.
In the search of a natural ingredient to replace the use of antibiotics in the treatment of bacterial infection of carbuncle, researchers at J Rockefeller University found that epigallocatechin-3-gallate isolated from green tea extracts exerts a significant effect in inhibiting the activity of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a leading candidate in exhibited risk of carbuncle.
Further analysis also suggested that the application of EGCG inhibited the Typhimurium type III protein effectors in the restriction of bacterial invasion into tested cells.
The type III secretion system of Salmonella typhimurium is found to have a direct effect on the translocation of proteins into host cells in initiated infection.
Dr. Tsou LK, the led author said, "These results reveal additional dietary plant metabolites that can attenuate bacterial virulence and infection of host cells".
Some researchers at the Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, after a lengthy search for an effective agent without inducing intolerant adverse effect for the treatment of bacterial infection, found that green tea catechins, the major green tea polyphenols, shows antimicrobial activity against resistant pathogens, including Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and the standard strain of Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa).
In a comparison of catechins, green tea extract, and methylxanthines in combination with gentamicin against standard and clinical isolates, inhibited bacterial activities by a minimum inhibitory concentration (MICs) of gentamicin in the range of 0.312 - 320 μg/mL and The MIC values of both types of catechins were 62.5 - 250 μg/ mL. in compared to no effect in methylxanthines application.
Interestingly, the dose of gentamicin was reduced substantially if adding doses of green tea extract and catechin according to the MICs.
These results indicated that green extract and major bioactive polyphenol catechin may be used alone or combined with gentamicin for the treatment of bacterial infection, including carbuncle without inducing the g adverse effect.
Dr. Fazly Bazzaz BS, the lead scientist after taking into account other co and confounders said, "Green tea extract and catechins potentiated the antimicrobial action of gentamicin against some clinical isolates of S. aureus and standard P. aeruginosa strains" and "combinations of gentamicin with these natural compounds might be a promising approach to combat microbial resistance".
Additionally, they evaluate the antibacterial activity of the Indonesian water-soluble green tea extract, Camellia sinensis, against clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) (MRSA) and multi-drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MDR-P. aeruginosa conducted by the University of Indonesia suggested
* The inhibition zone diameters of green tea extracts for S. aureus ATCC 25923 and MRSA were 18.970 ± 0.287 mm, and (19.130 ± 0.250) mm respectively.
* The inhibition zone diameter for P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and MDR-P. aeruginosa were (17.550 ± 0.393) mm and (17.670 ± 0.398) mm respectively.
*The MIC of green tea extracts against S. aureus ATCC 25923 and MRSA were 400 µg/mL and 400 µg/mL, respectively.
And
* The MIC for P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and MDR-P. aeruginosa was 800 µg/mL, and 800 µg/mL, respectively.
Taking all together, green tea extract and its bioactive polyphenol catechin may be considered a functional food in reduced risk and treatment of carbuncle caused by Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus).
However, intake of green tea extract should be taken with extreme care as acute liver toxicity has been reported in a number of medical literature.

#Herbal #AshwagandhaRootExtracts Inhibits Chronic Stress that Causes Diseases, According to Studies
By Kyle J. Norton
Chronic stress is the response to emotional pressure in demanding situations over a period of time, leading to the release of hormone cortisol and adrenaline.
Most common factors associated with stress incidence include psychological pressures, such as work deadlines, and exams, high-pressure jobs, and financial difficulties.
Overtime unresolved chronic stress can cause a wide range of symptoms and increase the risk of developing physical and psychological syndromes, including anxiety and depression.
The most common symptoms of chronic stress are irritability, difficulty concentrating, rapid, disorganized thoughts, fatigue, headaches, feeling helpless, low self-esteem, and difficulty sleeping.
Some patients may also experience symptoms of digestive problems, changes in appetite, and loss of sexual desire.
Dr. Mohd. Razali Salleh in the examination of chronic stress in the risk of diseases wrote, "The relationship between stress and illness is complex. The susceptibility to stress varies from person to person. Among the factors that influenced the susceptibility to stress are a genetic vulnerability, coping style, type of personality, and social support".
And, "Stress also alters the acid concentration in the stomach, which can lead to peptic ulcers, stress ulcers or ulcerative colitis. Chronic stress can also lead to plaque buildup in the arteries (atherosclerosis), especially if combined with a high-fat diet and sedentary living. The correlation between stressful life events and psychiatric illness is stronger than the correlation between medical or physical illness".
In other words, chronic stress if untreated can cause a wide range of chronic diseases, including psychiatric illness.
Ashwagandha also is known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered an anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
In finding a potential compound for the treatment of chronic stress, researchers examined the effect of Ashwagandha Root Extract on obese patients with long-term stress and anxiety.
The double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial included a total of 52 subjects under chronic stress who received either Ashwagandha (300 mg) or a placebo twice daily.
According to the tested differentiation at the start and at 4 and 8 weeks, including the Perceived Stress Scale and Food Cravings Questionnaire, the Ashwagandha treatment group showed a significant improvement in stress associated with poor eating behaviors, including feelings of disinhibited eating, binge eating, hunger, and more ineffective attempts to control eating.
Moreover, according to the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire, the Ashwagandha treatment group is more satisfied including body weight, and happier than the control.
No adverse effects had been reported by participants.
Based on the results, researchers wrote, "The outcome of this study suggests that Ashwagandha root extract can be used for bodyweight management in adults under chronic stress".
Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered a remedy for the prevention and treatment of chronic stress, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

#Healthyfood #NavyBean Improves Colonic Microenvironment Function that Promotes the Gut Health, According to Studies
By Kyle J. Norton
The colon-formed part of the digestive system is also called the large intestine which plays a critical role in removing water, and salt, and forming stool through its muscle lines.
There is over 100 trillion life in the colon that maintains a healthy balance with the body.
In a normal or healthy individual, gut microbiota besides protecting the host against pathogens that cause infectious disease, it also has strong imparts in some specific functions in the host, including
* Nutrient metabolism is a process that absorbs end products of food digestion such as monosaccharides, glucose from carbohydrates, monoacylglycerol and long-chain fatty acids from lipids, and small peptides and amino acids from protein.
* Xenobiotic metabolism is the action that protects the host against chemicals that affect normal metabolism.
* Drug metabolism is the process to alter chemicals of a drug that may cause harm to the body
* Gut microbiota also has been found to protect the gut mucosal barrier in preserving the ability to absorb nutrients.
* Gut microbiota immunomodulatory activity reduced the risk of disease associated with chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, such as bowel inflammatory disease.
However, there are several factors that may have strong impacts on gut microbiota. Dr. Sai Manasa Jandhyala, the lead scientist wrote, " (1) the mode of delivery (vaginal or cesarean); (2) diet during infancy (breast milk or formula feeds) and adulthood (vegan-based or meat-based); and (3) use of antibiotics or antibiotic like molecules that are derived from the environment of the gut commensal community.
And "A major concern of antibiotic use is the long-term alteration of the normal healthy gut microbiota and horizontal transfer of resistance genes that could result in the reservoir of organisms with a multidrug-resistant gene pool".
The small, white navy bean, also called pea bean or haricot, popular in both dry and green forms, is very popular in Britain and the US, native to Peru. It is now grown and consumed across the world, due to its numerous health benefits.
In finding a natural compound for the improvement of colon health, researchers examined the effect of cooked navy bean (NB) or black bean (BB) flours on the colonic microenvironment in the gut.
The study included C57Bl/6 mice who were fed diets supplemented with 20% cooked navy bean (NB) or black bean (BB) flours or an isocaloric basal diet control (BD) for 3 weeks.
According to the tested analysis* Both NB and BB similarly altered the fecal microbiota community structure by increasing the abundance of carbohydrate fermenting bacteria such as Prevotella, S24-7, and Ruminococcus flavefaciens.
* Both beans also enhanced short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) production (microbial-derived carbohydrate fermentation products) by activating the colonic expression of the SCFA receptors GPR-41/-43/-109a associated with reduced colonic inflammation.
* Furthermore, parameters associated with the improvement of colon health were also enhanced by the administration of black and navy beans, including the biomarkers of colon barrier integrity such as crypt height, mucus content, cell proliferation, and goblet cell number.
The results strongly suggested that the navy bean improves colon health by increasing the expression of gut "good" microorganisms.
Based on the findings, researchers said, " Overall, NB and BB improved baseline colonic microenvironment function by altering the microbial community structure and activity and promoting colon barrier integrity and function; effects which may prove beneficial in attenuating gut-associated diseases".
Taken altogether, the cooked navy bean may be considered a remedy for the improvement of colon health, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.

The Effects of #SoyFoods on the Risk of #Obesity in #Japanese Population, Reserachers Find
By Kyle J. Noton
Soy foods, including tofu, have been in the traditional Chinese diet for thousands of years, according to Chinese literature. The reduced risk of chronic disease, including metabolic syndromes such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes, and lesser menopause symptoms in the advanced age of the Japanese population, may be aided by eating a lot of soy food accompanied by a large portion of vegetables and fruits.
The explanation of the positive effect of soy isoflavones in reduced risk of mammary cancers by the University of Goettingen may be interesting, as researchers said" Most importantly, there is a dispute as to whether isoflavones derived from soy or red clover have negative, positive or any effect at all on the mammary gland or endometrium. It is beyond any doubt that soy products may have cancer-preventing properties in a variety of organs including the mammary gland. However, these properties may only be exerted if the developing organ was under the influence of isoflavones during childhood and puberty.
Soybean is the genus Glycine, belonging to the family Fabaceae, one of the legumes that contains twice as much protein per acre as any other major vegetable or grain crop, native to Southeast Asia. Now, it is grown worldwide with a suitable climate for commercial profits.
I. Soy in the Eastern population
A. The Japanese population
Japan, an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea, and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south(1).
In fact, the traditional Japanese diet with a high amount of soy products is associated with a lower BMI in adulthood(9).
According to Dr. Ma J and the research team, early exposure to a high-fat diet diminished the abundance of non-pathogenic Campylobacter in the juvenile gut which may enhance the risk of obesity(10). In fact, DR. Sakata T. said that a very low-calorie conventional Japanese diet of 370 kcal/day has been shown to be useful for weight reduction and long-term maintenance(11). and dietary content and food patterns used in management among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes are quite close to those reported as suitable for the prevention of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and total mortality in Europe and America, according to the study of 1,516 patients with type 2 diabetes aged 40-70 years from outpatient clinics in 59 university and general hospitals(12).
Another study suggested that adopting maternal Western-style diet consumption may lead to increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in the offspring(16), and Western diet increased the risk for atherosclerosis and promoted the progression of preclinical atherosclerosis, in correspondence with the extent of westernization(17).
Soy foods, including tofu, have been in the traditional Chinese diet for thousands of years, according to Chinese literature. The reduced risk of chronic disease, including metabolic syndromes such as cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and diabetes, and lesser menopause symptoms in the advanced age of the Japanese population, may be aided by eating a lot of soy food accompanied by a large portion of vegetables and fruits.
Indeed, according to the study, only 10% of women in the East experience symptoms of menopause in advanced age compared to over 70% of their Western counterparts. According to Dr. Mark Messina, Ph.D., Soyfoods contributed from 6.5%8 to 12.8%7 of total protein intake in older adults in Japan. (b)
The approval of the cardiovascular benefit of soy by the FDA in 1999 accompanied by the discovery of health benefits in clinical studies over the past decade, prompted the promotion and advertisement of soy's health benefits in every aspect of Western society. Evidence could be seen by walking through the supermarkets and drug stores.

Evidence could be seen by walking through the supermarkets and drug stores.
Soy supplements and products such as tofu, soy milk, soy-based infant formula, and meatless “texturized vegetable protein” burgers were widely available. According to the United Soybean Board’s 2004–2005, 25% of Americans consume soy foods or beverages at least once per week, and 74% view soy products as healthy.
Today, the promotion of soy no longer exists, it may be result of the discovery of adverse effects in single ingredient and animal studies, as intake of soy is associated to induce risk of certain mammary cancers and infertility. The publication of the result has drawn many criticisms. According to Thomas Badger, director, and senior investigator at the Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center in Little Rock, these effects are seen only under certain experimental conditions that are not likely to occur in humans—and therein lies the crux of the debate(a). Equol (4',7-isoflavandiol), an isoflavandiol metabolized from daidzein may be the cause, as 90% of the Eastern population are equol producers but only 30% in the West.

Japan, an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, lies to the east of the Sea of Japan, China, North Korea, South Korea, and Russia, stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and Taiwan in the south(1).
According to Moriyama, Japanese women and men live longer and healthier than everyone else on Earth, it may be a result of a healthier Japanese diet and lifestyle. According to the World Health Organization, the Japanese have an average of 75 years of healthy living disability-free, it may be due to the average soy intake being 10 to 70 times higher than in Western people(1a)(1b).
A4. Soy and Obesity in Japanese
Soy food intake is well known for its estrogenic effects because it binds the estrogen receptor with relatively high affinity, but effects induced by the risk of obesity are inconclusive in the West(1)(2)(3).
It may be the result of most Westerners being unequol producers(4)(5). Some researchers suggested that the prevalence of obesity in the West may be a result of a typical American diet high in saturated and trans-fat and less in fruits and vegetables. Others blamed the epidemic obesity as a result of an economic environment that makes healthy foods more expensive than junk and suggested of taxes on foods with low nutritional value could nudge behavior toward healthier diets, as could subsidies/discounts for healthier(8). According to a report on NBC by Melissa Dhal, just 10.8 percent of Asians in America are considered obese, a slim percentage when compared with 33 percent of whites, 42 percent of Hispanics, and 48 percent of blacks with a BMI of 30 or higher(7).

Some researchers suggested that the prevalence of obesity in the West may be a result of a typical American diet high in saturated and trans-fat and less in fruits and vegetables. Others blamed the epidemic obesity as a result of an economic environment that makes healthy foods more expensive than junk and suggested of taxes on foods with low nutritional value could nudge behavior toward healthier diets, as could subsidies/discounts for healthier(8). According to a report on NBC by Melissa Dhal, just 10.8 percent of Asians in America are considered obese, a slim percentage when compared with 33 percent of whites, 42 percent of Hispanics, and 48 percent of blacks with a BMI of 30 or higher(7).
In fact, the traditional Japanese diet with a high amount of soy products is associated with a lower BMI in adulthood(9).
According to Dr. Ma J and the research team, early exposure to a high-fat diet diminished the abundance of non-pathogenic Campylobacter in the juvenile gut which may enhance the risk of obesity(10). In fact, DR. Sakata T. said that a very low-calorie conventional Japanese diet of 370 kcal/day has been shown to be useful for weight reduction and long-term maintenance(11). and dietary content and food patterns used in management among Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes are quite close to those reported as suitable for the prevention of obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and total mortality in Europe and America, according to the study of 1,516 patients with type 2 diabetes aged 40-70 years from outpatient clinics in 59 university and general hospitals(12).
Regarded to diet habits of the West and Japanese working women, the proportion of eating problems is low in comparison with Western adult populations(15).
A study of Occupational Class Differences in Body Mass Index and Weight Gain in Japan and Finland may provide us with the interesting results "BMI was higher at baseline and BMI gain was more rapid in Finland than in Japan, it may be result of clear socioeconomic gradients in obesity in Finland compared to Japanese environment is less obesogenic than the Finnish environment, or factors such as easy access to fast-food restaurants and limited possibilities for physical exercise are suggested characteristics of an obesogenic environment or due to the Japanese diet has traditionally been very healthy, with high consumption of vegetables, soy protein, and fish, with the general nutritional status of the Japanese population is still healthier than that in many Western countries" (13).
Unfortunately, due to the influence of the West, many Japanese have abandoned the traditional Japanese diet and opted for a quick, high-fat diet with lots of junk foods. According to the Kagawa Nutrition University, Japanese traditional and Western were all independently and significantly related to the risk of obesity even among a relatively lean young Japanese female population(14).

Another study suggested that adopting maternal Western-style diet consumption may lead to increased susceptibility to type 2 diabetes in the offspring(16), and Western diet increased the risk for atherosclerosis and promoted the progression of preclinical atherosclerosis, in correspondence with the extent of westernization(17).
As undergoing rapid "Westernization,", changes in Japanese dietary patterns continued, with a high intake of butter & margarine, cheese, bread, and ham & sausage, etc.(18), the Westernized chronic illness may rise to a level currently found in the "Western" countries in the coming few decades, including diverticular disease, mammary cancers(19)(20).

#Curcumin Found in #Turmeric Detoxes the Lungs Against Toxicity Caused by Increased #OxidativeStress, Researchers Say
By Kyle J. Norton
Lung toxicity or pulmonary toxicity refers to the toxicity induced by the side effects of the lung in patients under chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
The most common drugs associated with lung toxicity used for the treatment of cancer include Arsenic trioxide (Trisenox®) Bleomycin (Blenoxane®)1 Idarubicin (Idamycin®).
However, lung toxicity is also caused by inhaling chemical compounds, the most famous (infamous) example is pulmonary toxicity due to asbestos. air pollution and airborne particulate matter produced by car traffic, overland traffic (trucks), industrial production facilities, and cigarette smoking.
Symptoms of lung damage or toxicity are a shortage of breath, breathlessness during exercise, fatigue dry cough Shortness of breath, particularly the symptoms that worsen when lying on your back breath.
Acute pulmonary toxicity, is the damage to the lungs that resolves with a short period of time by addressing the cause.
Conventionally, the most common treatments for lung toxicity are the use of
* Corticosteroids to decrease inflammation and relieve the cough and pain
*Narcotics to reduce pain medications and promote breathing center
* Oxygen therapy to increase oxygen in the blood and prevent shortness of breath.
In severe cases, patients may be sent to the hospital for Pulmonary (lung) rehabilitation.
Turmeric is a perennial plant in the genus Curcuma, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, native to tropical South Asia.
The herb has been used in traditional medicine as an anti-oxidant, hypoglycemic, colorant, antiseptic, wound healing agent, and to treat flatulence, bloating, and appetite loss, ulcers, eczema, inflammations, etc.
In finding a natural compound for the treatment of lung toxicity scientists evaluated the protective effects of curcumin on lipid peroxidation and antioxidants status in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of a nicotine-treated animal model.
Wistar rats selected for the study were induced lung toxicity by subcutaneous injection of nicotine at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg body weight (5 days a week, for 22 weeks) and followed by administration of curcumin (80 mg/kg body weight) given simultaneously by intragastric intubation for 22 weeks.
Before injecting curcumin, the injection of nicotine rats showed increased biochemical marker enzymes, and lipid peroxides in BALF and BAL accompanied by a significant decrease in the levels of antioxidants in the lung.
Following the treatment of curcumin, infected rats showed significantly lowered biochemical marker enzymes, and lipid peroxidation, and enhanced antioxidant status.
Based on the results, researchers said, "The results of the present study suggest that curcumin exerts its protective effect against nicotine-induced lung toxicity by modulating the biochemical marker enzymes, lipid peroxidation, and augmenting antioxidant defense system".
In order to reveal more information about turmeric detoxed activity, researchers examined the protective role of curcumin and a synthetic analog of curcumin (BDMC-A) on nicotine-induced oxidative stress.
Male albino rats of the Wistar strain selected for the study induced lung toxicity by subcutaneous injection of nicotine at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg body weight (five days a week, for 22 weeks) and followed by the treatment of curcuminoids given simultaneously by intragastric intubation for 22 weeks.
Nicotine-treated groups before injection of curcumin showed increased oxidative stress, as evidenced by lipid peroxidation indices.
Injection of curcumin and BDMC-A not only restored the antioxidant status which was decreased in the nicotine-treated group.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "The present study suggests that BDMC-A exerts its protective effect by modulating the extent of lipid peroxidation and augmenting the antioxidant defense system".
Taken altogether, turmeric processed with a high amount of bioactive compound curcumin may be considered a supplement for the prevention of lung toxicity, pending the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
Intake of turmeric in the form of supplements should be taken with extreme care to prevent overdose acute liver toxicity.

#ECoffee and #CoffeeCaffeine Consumption May Increase the Risk of #BladderCancer, According to Clinical Trials
By Kyle J. Norton
Coffee consumption may have a linear association with the potential risk of bladder cancer development, a respectable institute postulated.
Bladder cancer is a medical condition of cell growth irregularly and disorderly in the bladder. Cancer may spread to distant tissues and organs in the later stage.
Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted beans from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.
According to Shandong University, the review literature published online satisfied the criteria and guidelines to investigate the risk of bladder cancer among coffee consumption adults. Selected studies, numbers of cups/day, and relative risk RR as follow
For 23 case-control studies
1. for 1 cup/day, RR=1.07
2 for 2 cups/day, RR=1.15
3 for 3 cups/day, RR=1.22
4. for 4 cups/day RR= 1.29
and
For 5 cohort studies
1. for 1 cup/day, RR=1.09
2. for 2 cups/day, RR=1.13
3. for 3 cups/day, RR= 1.09
4 for 4 cups/day, RR=1.01
The findings in both case-control and cohort studies showed a positive association between coffee intake and the risk of bladder cancer.
In nonsmokers, according to the pooled data set comprises 564 cases and 2929 hospital or population controls enrolled in ten studies conducted in Denmark, Germany, Greece, France, Italy, and Spain. risk of bladder cancer did not increase monotonically with dose but for heavy coffee drinkers of over 10 cups per day, the risk of bladder cancer increases substantially.
Dr. Sala M, the lead author said, "Nonsmokers who are heavy coffee drinkers may have a small excess risk of bladder cancer".
Other, in analyzed a case-control study in two different areas of northern Italy (555 cases and 855 controls), coffee intake and risk of bladder cancer showed that
in compared to nondrinkers (RR: relative risk ratio)
1. RR 1.2 for one cup of coffee per day,
2. RR 1.4 for two,
3. RR 1.5 for three and
4 RR 1.4 for four or more
5. RR 1.5 (0.9-2.4) for decaffeinated coffee.
But in never smoked participants, the risk of bladder cancer increased significantly
1. RR 1.9 for one or two cups per day,
2. RR 1.8 for three and
3 RR 1.5 for four or more
Taking together, there is no doubt that coffee and coffee caffeine consumption have a significant risk in the exhibited incidence of bladder cancer regardless of the number of cup intake daily and regularly.

#Herbal #AshwagandhaRootExtracts Increase the Quality of Life and Survival Rate of #BreastCancer Patients, According to Studies
By Kyle J. Norton
The breast formed part of the reproductive system consists of tissue overlying the chest (pectoral) muscles. In women, the breasts are made of produces milk (glandular tissue) and fatty tissue.
The size of the women's breast is totally depending on the amount of breast fatty tissue.
Depending on the menstrual stage induced by hormone expression, the breast ducts transport milk from the lobules out to the nipple.
In pregnancy, the changes to the breasts can start as early as 1 to 2 weeks after conception, leading to swelling or tenderness.
Breast cancer is a medical condition caused by the alternation of DNA of cells in the breast tissue.
According to the statistic, in 2010, over 250,000 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in women in the U.S. alone and the risk of getting invasive breast cancer during the lifetime of a woman is 1/8.
Most cases of breast cancer start with cell growth disorderly on the surface of the inner lining of the breast tissue. At the later stage, malignant cells can infect other healthy cells and tissue far away from the breast through fluids and blood circulation.
The exact causes of breast cancer are unknown. However, aging, reproductive history, dense breast, family, and personal breast cancer history, particularly in women with the genetic preposition of BRCA 1 and 2 are some of the most prevalent factors associated with the disease.
Women who inherited the mutated gene BRCA 1 and 2 are associated with over 60% of breast cancer risk compared to women who do not.
Some researchers suggested the promotion of a high-fat diet induced overweight and obesity over the past few decades may correlate to the increased incidence and motility of breast cancer in the US.
Dr. Carroll KK wrote, "High-fat diets are thought to increase the risk of breast cancer because animals develop mammary cancer more readily when they are fed high-fat compared to low-fat diets, and breast cancer incidence and mortality are higher in countries with high-fat as compared to those with low-fat diets".
And, "Studies on migrants have shown that breast cancer incidence and mortality increase in populations who move from countries with low-fat to those with high-fat diets, indicating that observed geographical differences in breast cancer are due to environmental rather than genetic factors".
These results strongly suggested a long-term high-fat diet is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer.
Ashwagandha also known as Withania somnifera is a nightshade plant in the genus of Withania, belonging to the family Solanaceae, native to the dry parts of India, North Africa, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean. The herbal medicine has been considered as Indian ginseng and used in Ayurvedic medicine for over 3000 years to treat tumors and tubercular glands, carbuncles, memory loss, and ulcers and considered an anti-stress, cognition-facilitating, anti-inflammatory, and anti-aging herbal medicine.
With an aim to find a potent compound for the treatment of symptoms associated the chemotherapy in breast cancer patients, researchers examined the Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) anti-side effects of chemo drug.
The open-label prospective nonrandomized comparative trial included a total of 100 patients with breast cancer in all stages undergoing either a combination of chemotherapy with oral Withania somnifera at a dose of 2 g every 8 hours or chemotherapy alone.
Withania somnifera root extract was administered to patients in the study group throughout the course of chemotherapy.
According to the results, patients in the control arm or chemotherapy-only treatment group experienced a statistically significant higher estimated marginal means of fatigue score compared to the study group.
Statistically, 7 out of 18 symptoms in the intervention group were significantly elevated in the control compared with the control group, according to the various symptom scales of the EORTC QLQ-C30.
More importantly, The 24-month overall survival for all stages in the study group was significantly higher at 72% compared to 56% of the control.
However, a median follow-up duration of 26 months.was not different in both groups. In other words, continued Withania somnifera root extract treatment may increase the survival rate of breast cancer patients in all stages.
Based on the findings, researchers said, "Withania somnifera has potential against cancer-related fatigue, in addition to improving the quality of life".
Taken altogether, Ashwagandha may be considered a functional herb for the prevention and an adjunct therapy combined with the primary medicine for the reduction of chemo drugs side effects in breast cancer patients, pending the result of larger sample size and multicenter study
