“There have been a couple of studies that have found that vaping lowers the levels of several carcinogens linked to cancer compared to smoking but the jury is still out on heart disease risk.”

“The algae particles were loaded with antibodies to specifically target cancer cells and chemo drugs to kill them without damaging normal cells”

“It is generally well known that men have an overall shorter life expectancy compared to women. A recent study shows a correlation between a loss of the Y chromosome in blood cells and both a shorter life span and higher mortality from cancer in other organs.”

“The researchers traced ascorbate's anti-cancer effect to the formation of hydrogen peroxide in the extracellular fluid surrounding the tumors. Normal cells were unaffected. Intravenous administration as a crucial differentiator: > "Clinical and pharmacokinetic studies conducted in the past 12 years showed that oral ascorbate levels in plasma and tissue are tightly controlled.”

“FTA: > Higher levels of total cholesterol and triglycerides, two types of fat, in the blood of men who underwent surgery for prostate cancer, were associated with increased risk for disease recurrence, according to a study”

“It will be interesting to see if these make it through the rigors of peer review (not there yet): Exposure to BPA substitute causes hyperactivity and brain changes in fish. BPA stimulates growth of breast cancer cells, diminishes effect of treatment.”

“FTA: > Engineers have devised a new way to detect cancer that has spread to the liver, by enlisting help from probiotics -- beneficial bacteria similar to those found in yogurt. Using a harmless strain of E. coli that colonizes the liver, the researchers programmed the bacteria to produce a luminescent signal that can be detected with a simple urine test.”

“Another randomized controlled trial found that men given 4,000 IU of vitamin D per day slowed cancer progression and improved tumors in men with low-grade prostate cancer (compared to men given placebo).”

“This new study confirms that evidence and highlights the fact that cholesterol may play a role in prostate cancer development and progression. [...] It remains to be seen whether or not lowering your PSA through statin medications could potentially mask the presence of prostate disease.”

“Prostate inflammation plays a major role in prostate cancer. Vitamin D is a hormone that regulates nearly 5% of the human genome and activates anti-inflammatory genes. 32 studies from January 1966 to January 2013 with more than 500,000 participants found that vitamin D blood levels between 40-60 ng/ml were associated with the lowest all-cause mortality.”
