Health 2 Know - March 2010

People are always taken some medicines for some purpose. In some cases, many postmenopausal women have had taken a combined estrogen and progestin hormone replacement therapy. They didn’t know that this medicine will increase their risk of developing progestin-accelerated breast tumors.

Lately, a research team from the University of Missouri have accidentally found that curcumin, which is a popular Indian spice (It can be found on the turmeric root), have the ability to reduce the cancer risk for women, especially for those who exposed to hormone replacement therapy for a long period!




Each year, there are more than 120 million women in worldwide use hormone replacement therapy. It main purpose is to treat the menopause’s symptoms. However, when a woman is exposed herself with the hormone replacement therapy continuously, then she might have the risk of getting breast cancer. In this case, the curcumin is able to protect the woman from the further progestin-accelerated breast tumors!

Next time, when you’re cooking, especially the Asian spicy foods, don’t forget to put some turmeric powder into it!

I didn’t mean to scare you off, as I just want you to think awhile, whether the drinkable water is really free from any micropollutant!

We’re living in the world, which is surrounding with many polluted chemicals, such as pesticides, cleaning agents, plastics and much more. All these chemical are always find their way sneaking into the natural water resources.

Based on the latest studies, there are more than 800 products have been recognized as the micropollutants in the water resources. Most of the micropollutants are released into the environment, especially in rainwater runoff!




Believe it or not, up to 80 percent of the supply water in third world countries are highly polluted with many chemicals substances. The World Health Organization (WHO) had tried they very best, which they’ve made a standard guide for the wastewater treatment plants.

However, many people have no choice, but have to drink the highly polluted water, especially in the developing countries.

Hence, we should appreciate and thanks to our government, for providing such a clean and safe to drink tap water!
