High Fiber Fruits: Barrier To prostate cancer

In order to live a long as well as a happy life you should include high fiber fruits in your diet. And most of them would also agree in eating fruits which are rich in fiber. But many of them still don’t have enough knowledge of exactly how they should add fruits with high fiber in their diets. Many health agencies are trying to educate the people by running different campaigns about the importance of high fiber fruits and how to add these fruits in your daily routine diet.
People generally know about high fiber fruits and their advantages. Fruits in the grocery store are labeled about their nutritional values. People who shop for these items read these labels and thus they become excited about the use of high fiber fruits and their advantages but there still are people who don’t prefer fruits high in fiber because they think it doesn’t make any difference. Some specific fresh fruits that are high in fiber are apricots, strawberries, apples, kiwi, papaya, grape fruit, cantaloupe and avocados. Their inclusion in our diet can provide great results. The most important aspect of fruits is that they can be used in their raw form which is even richer in the fiber and other nutrients.

Advantages High Fiber Fruits:

A great source of fiber is available in plants, fruits and vegetables. The thing fiber found in these sources does is to clean out our intestines from the various waste materials and this in turn makes our organs work properly. The other main advantage of fibrous fruits is that it removes all the leftover parts of the food from our intestines. With the help of this effect diseases like colon cancer, diabetes and high cholesterol can be avoided. Some of the fruits which have high source of fibers are whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

Daily Diet and High Fiber Fruits:

People who want to remain healthy and active always use high fiber fruits. Adding fruits in your cereals will add taste as well as a good source of fiber to your diet. Some people use fruits in their breakfast thus start their day with fiber fruits; this is a very good practice. It is also advised that you should eat your food slowly and eat food while you are sitting. By doing this practice your digestive system will work even better. Eating food hurriedly can cause digestion disorders. Many health organizations try to make people understand about these things so that a healthy environment can be established around the world.

Hi Health Avenger

I see your interested in Health, but not sure what the question is here. Ill post some info on skin cancer Im aware of it. This is very powerful.

Research and Facts about the Dangers of Sunscreen
Being concerned about skin cancer is valid; however, most sunscreen products can do more harm than good. Some sunscreen products contain toxic chemicals that penetrate the skin, and can actually increase the risk of disease.
The following are a few highlighted remarks and findings by numerous experts whose research shows that many ingredients in sunscreen are simply not safe and should be avoided.

1. Allan C. Halpern, M.D. Chief of Dermatology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
A nationally recognized dermatologist, Dr. Halpern has made significant contributions to predicting the frequency of the occurrence of skin cancer and dysplastic nevi (irregularly shaped moles that may become cancerous) in large populations. He is also an authority on early detection, tracking, and treatment of such skin changes to prevent them from progressing to advanced cancer. His work has led to the design of strategies for estimating a person’s risk of melanoma.

“Vitamin-D Research Turning Sunscreen Wisdom on Head”
Phoenix Arizona Republic Abstract, 22 May 2005
The thinking is that even if too much sun leads to the non-lethal skin cancer, too little sun may be worse. “I find the evidence that the sun prevents cancer to be mounting and increasingly compelling.” — Dr. Allan Halpern M.D., Dermatology Chief

Comment: The Chief of Dermatology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering has seen the scientific research and has the courage to admit that our past opinions about the sun appear to be wrong.

2. Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., author of The Politics of Cancer Revisited, is one of the foremost environmental toxicologists in the world. Epstein and his supporters point out that chemical sunscreens often contain toxic and even carcinogenic chemicals, proven to cause DNA mutation in laboratory studies — though it is still debatable whether they behave this way in human skin. Such chemicals include benzophenones, 4-MBC, placenta (and other estrogenic compounds), talc (a mineral similar to asbestos) and even that old stand-by PABA, which, though a nutrient in the B-vitamin family, produces potentially dangerous substances when activated by UV rays.

International Leading Authority on the Causes and Prevention of Cancer

Samuel S. Epstein, M.D. is professor emeritus of Environmental and Occupational Medicine at the University of Illinois School of Public Health, and Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition. He has published some 260 peer reviewed articles, and authored or co-authored 11 books including: the prize-winning 1978 The Politics of Cancer; the 1995 Safe Shopper’s Bible; the 1998 Breast Cancer Prevention Program; the 1998 The Politics of Cancer, Revisited; the 2001 GOT (Genetically Engineered) MILK! The Monsanto rBGH/BST Milk Wars Handbook; the 2001 Unreasonable Risk. How to Avoid Cancer from Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: The Neways Story; and the 2005 Cancer-Gate: How to Win the Losing Cancer War.

Dr. Epstein is an internationally recognized authority on avoidable causes of cancer, particularly unknowing exposures to industrial carcinogens in air, water, the workplace, and consumer products–food, cosmetics and toiletries, and household products including pesticides–besides carcinogenic prescription drugs.

3. In 1998, Dr. Marianne Berwick, Epidemiologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, reported at a meeting that her analysis of 16 epidemiology studies suggested that the more sunscreen a person used the higher chance of developing skin cancer.

4. Dr. Frank Garland, of the University of California, believes the increased use of chemical sunscreens is the primary cause of the epidemic of skin cancer.

5. Gordon Ainsleigh, D.C. believes that the use of sunscreens causes more cancer deaths than it prevents. He estimated that the 17% increase in breast cancer observed between 1991 and 1992 may be the result of the pervasive use of sunscreens over the past decade. (Preventive Medicine, Vol. 22, Feb. 1993)

6. Professor John Moan, of the Norwegian Cancer Institute, found the yearly increase in melanoma in Norway had increased 350% for men and 440% for women from 1957-1984, when sunscreens were first introduced.

7. Drs. Cedric and Frank Garland, of the University of California, have pointed out that while sunscreens do prevent against sunburn there is no scientific proof they protect against basal cell carcinoma in humans.

8. Sunlight, Nutrition and Health Research Center (SUNARC) Organization is devoted to research and education relating to the prevention of chronic disease through changes in diet and lifestyle.

Health Concerns and Facts about Sun Exposure
The increasing occurrence of skin cancer in the USA is a major concern of physicians. New research shows that the active ingredients (toxic chemicals) in some sunscreens may contribute to genetic damage and skin cancer (The Scientist, Mar/Apr. 1999: 7). In fact, the sunscreen chemicals can absorb the rays’ energy, become energized, and chemically reactivate themselves, which can lead to chemical reaction in the skin that creates free radicals that cause DNA damage.
Toxic Ingredients to Avoid
Benzophenones (dixoybenzone, oxybenzone)
PABA and PABA esters (ethyl dihydroxy propyl PAB, glyceryl PABA,
p-aminobenzoic acid padimate O or Octyl dimethyl PABA)
Cinnamates (cinoxate, ethylhexyl, p-methoxycinnamate)
Salicylates (ethylhexyl salicylate, homosalate, octyl salicylate)
Avobenzone (butyl-methyoxydibenzoylmethane; Parsol 1789)
Digalloyl trioleate
Menthyl anthranilate
Propylene Glycol: Called a humectant in cosmetics, is industrial antifreeze, and the major ingredient in brake and hydraulic fluid. Material data sheets on Propylene Glycol warn to avoid skin contact as it is systemic and can cause liver abnormalities and kidney damage. If antifreeze is spilled on your garage floor and a dog or cat has one lick, it will kill them.

Chemical Composition of Sunscreens
Chemical sunscreens contain 2-5% chemical compounds. Benzophenone and similar compounds are some of the most powerful free radical generators known to man. They are used in industrial processes as free radicals to initiate chemical reactions. When activated by ultra violet light, the molecule doubles the bond to produce two free radical sites. The free radicals then initiate a chain reaction that can increase skin damage and increase skin cancer.
Worldwide the greatest risk in melanoma has been in countries where sunscreens have been heavily promoted. Queensland, Australia, where the medical establishment has vigorously promoted the use of sunscreens has more evidence of melanoma per capita than any other place. (Garland, Cedric F., et al. American Journal of Public Health, April 1992).

In 1997, Europe, Canada and Australia limited the formula for sunscreens to three specific ingredients: avobenzone, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. All others were banned.

Best of health to you
