I was thin in my youth , then just right in my 30s & 40's , then a bit of a belly in 50's and now in my 60's .I have to watch the diet.
Though my wife says I still have great legs and a nice bum
Handsome , well she still thinks so . Haven't asked my mistresses as yet
I was "deadly" serious about what I had researched in the last year !
Every day I find more and more reports on the dangers of modern living and our food and drink intake.
There seems to be a great coverup on the truth from the Pharmaceutical & Food companies. So much MONEY involved !
Every year a committee delivers a report to the US President on how the billions of dollars earmarked for fighting cancer are being used. On May 6 that committee handed in its work for 2010, alerting the President to the gaps in research regarding the environmental causes of cancer. This year, for the first time, this high-brow panel of oncologists courageously pointed the finger at chemicals and other environmental factors that are likely to cause cancer.
In their introduction, the signatories of the report that was handed to President Obama note that the incidence of cancer in children has been rising regularly, a fact that can’t be explained by the usual excuses for rising cancer rates in the population over the past thirty years (aging of the population, increasing use of cancer screening). Neither the increasing age of our population, nor the improvement of screening, have any role in rising rates of cancer in children. Indeed, as the panel now acknowledges, the only plausible explanations have to do with changes in our environment and life-style.
The panel criticizes the current "reactionary" approach, which consists in waiting for proof of the toxicity of a contaminant before measures are taken to reduce people's exposure.
The authors underline the need for a new approach based on the precautionary principle. They criticize the ineffectiveness of the agencies set up to do scientific evaluations -- which are excessively influenced by industry and related lobbies. They point out that it is no longer acceptable that a product or chemical be considered “safe” simply because the company producing it affirms that it has conducted internal research establishing safety.
The panel presents to the President a number of arguments that have long been made by activists that have been concerned about a laissez-faire approach to regulating chemicals in terms of their possible effects on health.
Firstly, even when a pollutant is present in our environment at levels beneath the regulatory maximum, it may nonetheless become toxic because of interaction with other pollutants. The committee asks for more research on this often-neglected "cocktail effect".
specific recommendations that the report states most need to be conveyed to the public in the short term:
* Avoid endocrine disruptors, especially for children and pregnant women. (This includes a number of pesticides, but also children toys made with plasticizers such as phtalhates) Food and drink containers with the symbols 3 , 6 & 7
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_disruptor* Filter your drinking water (particularly in areas where it may contain industrial chemicals or high levels of pesticides)
* Don't keep your food or water in containers containing Bisphenol A or phtalates (hard plastic containers)
* Prefer organic food. Avoid overcooked meat.
One thing that has come to light , is that if you have a tendancy to cancer or actually have cancer , THEN eating SUGAR is like throwing petrol on a bonfire
Cancer cells requires an acidic environment to survive or multiply , so if you create an alkaline enviroment in the body ,then it shrinks and can die!
An interesting part of an article on Michael Douglas's ( actor) recent treatment including radiotheraphy and Chemo ,was that his Doctors put him on an Alkaline diet. Even the Medical Establishment are now taking notice of protocols that were first established in 1953 by Dr Budwig in Germany
