I drink a lot of coffee.......green tea is also meant to help I have heard.
Coffee cuts the risk of liver disease
By Roger Highfield, Science Editor
(Filed: 13/06/2006)
Drinking coffee every day cuts the risk of cirrhosis of the liver caused by alcohol, according to a new study.
However doctors stopped short yesterday of saying that coffee should be drunk for that reason.
The study, by Dr Arthur Klatsky and colleagues at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Programme in Oakland, California, used data from 125,580 people.
"This supports the hypothesis that there is an ingredient in coffee that protects against cirrhosis, especially alcoholic cirrhosis," concludes the report, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
The authors of the report admitted that they did not know which was the key ingredient. |

Beer Ingredient May Fight Prostate Cancer
Jun 12th - 4:18pm
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - For many men, a finding by Oregon researchers sounds too good to be true: an ingredient in beer seems to help prevent prostate cancer, at least in lab experiments. The trouble is you'd theoretically have to drink about 17 beers a day for any potential benefit. And no one's advising that.
Researchers at Oregon State University say that the compound xanthohumol, found in hops, inhibits a protein in the cells along the surface of the prostate gland. The protein acts like a switch that turns on a variety cancers, including prostate cancer.
Dr. Richard N. Atkins, CEO of the National Prostate Cancer Coalition, said the experiments are encouraging and "perhaps men could take it in pill form someday."
He noted an ingredient in tomatoes, lycopene, has previously been linked to prostate cancer prevention.
"It's every man's dream to hear that beer and pizza can prevent cancer," he said. "However, the 17 beers and four large pizzas needed to get enough xanthohumol and lycopene to help prevent prostate cancer is unfortunately not advised."
Atkins noted that drinking 17 beers a day can lead to alcoholism and cirrhosis of the liver, and overdoing it on pizza can lead to obesity and other health problems.
"Food, no matter how helpful it may be, is not a full preventive for prostate cancer," he said. |

So let's summarize this. I need a daily dose of pizza, some 17 beers to wash that away (piece of pizza, pun intended) and loads of coffee, and I have a fair chance to stay in the clear. Not to mention a couple of Bloody Mary's for breakfast, for the much needed tomatoes. Not bad. Think I can do that. Waiter !!! another Irish coffee please ! |

I knew this Chinese scientist that had developed a Chinese medicine to prevent prostate cancer.
He told me that Chinese guys rarely get prostate cancer and when I asked him why he said that this kind of cancer is usually found in men that have a lot of sex or jerk off a lot. So, I said to him, Chinese guys have less sex? And he said yes, plus the fact that Chinese teenage boys rarely jerk off. Probably too busy either studying **** loads of homework or playing CS. |

No she didn't.
That's something you thought about while jerking off instead of doing your French homework. |
