There’d been a big buzz about a recent article that commented on a latest cancer research in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Basically, the article was a misinterpretation of the findings of the research. The newspaper comment claimed that fruit and vegetables negligibly lower cancer risk.
After a close examination, the news group didn’t read the scientific article as a whole. Let me, summarized five salient points.

Natural foods heal diseases naturally. Herbal foods offer more than just a spicy twist to your taste buds. It can help you fight cancer. From ancient times comes garlic. Cultivated 6,000 years ago, garlic had been traced in China. As it rapidly gained fame, it spread to Italy. Then a garlic route spread this tangy herb to the rest of Europe.
In earlier times, garlic was associated with healing rituals. The ritual consisted of a garlic bag and an angel to exorcise the illness. When the person recuperates, the garlic bag is burned. Talk about magic potions, this thing called garlic works.
But don’t get me wrong! It’s amusing to learn how our ancestors managed illnesses. I don’t have anything against ancestral beliefs. Proving how they actually work is another thing. more…
Have you ever heard of the Greek cancer cure? This really scares me. The Greek cancer cure is also known as METBAL, CELLbal or the Alivizatros treatment. Cancer patients are requested to stop their standard cancer regime. In its place is a mysterious daily injection of a “serum.” This is a good example of cancer mono-therapy scam. Don’t be fool, cancer is a complicated disease.
The Greek cancer cure or Alivizatros treatment is named after Dr. Alivizatros, a Greek. There is no scientific proof that it works. No clinical study had ever been done. A simple analysis of the treatment reveals that it is a scam. But the mysterious formula impresses people to believe in the treatment. Pity the believers!

Here is another cancer cure supplement story. Can shark cartilage shrink cancer? Cartilages are semi-soft, elastic tissues found in most animals and humans ,devoid of blood vessels. Sharks skeletons are wholly cartilage. Shark cartilage are harvested, pulverized and packaged into capsules. They are sold as dietary supplement and sadly as anticancer pills.
How is shark cartilage related to cancer? It started when doctor John Prudden utilized cow cartilage to heal surgical wounds in the early 1950s possibly with some success. Next, he experimented with cancer patients and had 50 percent unconfirmed positive responses. Recently, Tiger Woods’ physician used similar technique to heal his worn out knee. But what really sensationalized shark cartilage is the book by William Lane PhD “Sharks don’t get Cancer” . This is a bogus claim. Sharks, as scientific studies revealed, do get cancer. more…

Most of us know that excess baggage around our middle, is a risk factor not only for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes but especially so for cancer. We know that exercising to get rid of that beer belly is much better on an empty stomach than when we are full to the brim. Additionally, we have been enlightened that to lose our beer belly, we have to decrease our over all calorie intake.
Now comes another enlightening study revealing the relationship between the timing of eating especially our meals and snacks, and the weight gain.
The study involved mice, nocturnal creatures who usually feed at night. These mice were fed during the day when they are supposed to sleep. They were fed with a high calorie diet. After six months, the results showed that they had a 45 percent weight gain as compared to the control group with only a 20 percent .
What does this imply?
Although, a study should also be conducted among humans, the results strongly imply that weight gain happens more during late night eating ,humans being diurnal. The weight gain would be far excessive than what you would gain with the same amount of food if taken during the daytime. Considering that your abdomen is the first anatomical area to gain fat and the last to lose excess weight, you’ll have a beer belly in no time, if you routinely snack late into the night. A lot of fat cells in our bodies consequently causes inflammation and starts the chain reaction that can lead to prostate cancer.
I suspect that this may explain the obesity epidemic. Let me analyze what we actually do at night. We go home finishing our day’s work, eat a big supper; to unwind, we take a glass of wine; to de-stress, we plop ourselves in front of the TV and unconsciously munch fat laden chips. As we watch with gusto, we aren’t even aware of how much calories we have consumed. Or else we do Facebook in bed with a can of soda and a plate of fried chicken. Hmmm… sounds familiar?
Years and years ago, the mealtimes of human beings were from sunrise to sunset. There had been no refrigerators or ways to keep food fresh for 24 hours a day. Human bodies were conditioned to use all that energy during wake hours when the necessity for food is to fuel every move and do necessary things. At sundown there would just be enough calories to maintain a resting metabolism and no extra calories are converted to fat.
I found that the findings of this study is very important if we’d like to prevent obesity that lead to a lot of painful chronic illnesses especially cancer- foremost among them prostate cancer. This would be an eye opener for night shift workers who eat their food late into the night.
What to watch for
To learn the proper way of the right time to eat we have to condition our bodies to eat at the right time. Here are some tips to break that late night snacking:
So, while we are at it, it is never too late to change those unhealthy habits of snacking late at night.
