ASPIRIN AND IT'S ANTI-TUMOR/ANTI-CANCER PROPERTIES
Another interesting correlation...
A study published in Cancer shows that women who take a regular dose of aspirin may get a reduction in their risk for melanoma. And the more years taken, the lower the risk. Women who took a dose of aspirin at least twice a week for one to four years had an 21% lower risk of melanoma compared to those who didn't. Those who took aspirin for up to three years saw an 11% reduction, as compared to those who took aspirin for five or more years so a 30% reduction. The thought is that aspirin reduces inflammation and cancer cells with a lot of inflammation grow more and are more aggressive.

SILICONE IMPLANTS ON THE RISE
(OKAY, SMALL PUN)
Back in 1992, silicone breast implants were banned for cosmetic used following complaints of health problems when ruptured (and even when not). They were continued to be allowed for use of breast reconstruction, however. In the meantime the technology changed and the gel is not "weepy." If you cut an implant and squeeze, the gel will protrude out, but return when you release the squeeze..
In 2006, the year the ban was lifted, 19% of the procedures used silicone. In 2012, it is now 72%.

Our Two Favorite Pasttimes, Food and Sleep
Participants who lived for two weeks gained almost two
pounds when limited to five hours of sleep nightly. Food is needed to provide energy and sustain wakefulness but it is believed that people overcompensate and eat more than they need.

High-Fat Dairy and Breast Cancer
The Kaiser Permanente study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, found that breast cancer survivors had an increased (12%) risk of dying from breast cancer if they consumed high fat dairy. It is thought that the estrogens in milk are the problem; the less fat in the milk, the less estrogens. (Estrogens are known to promote some breast cancers). Another reason to suspect estrogens, is because other types of fat intake did not increase the risk, i.e., nuts, chocolate, coconut and vegetable fats.
