Acids From Alcohol and Protein Causes Cancer

Drinking more than one acid alcoholic beverage a day dramatically increases your risk of developing a cancerous bowel. Large amounts of highly acidic red meat increases this risk, according to researchers at The George Institute in Sydney, Australia, who analyzed more than 100 international studies reaching as far back as the 1960s.

Building and Flexing Your Muscles Reduces The Risk For A Cancerous Condition

The findings, by an international team of researchers, suggest muscular strength is as important as staying slim and eating healthily when it comes to protecting the body against the formation of tumors due to tissue acidosis. Read more

An Alkaline Lifestyle and Diet May Reduce the Risk of Prostate Cancer

A new review published in the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics assessed whether certain modifications in diet have a beneficial effect on the prevention of prostate cancer.

Results suggest that a diet low in fat and animal protein and high in vegetables and fruit is beneficial in preventing and treating a cancerous prostate.

Robert W.-L. Ma and K. Chapman conducted an evidence-based review of dietary recommendations in the prevention of prostate cancer as well as in the management of patients with prostate cancer.

The researchers found that a diet low in saturated fat, high in vegetables and fruit, and avoiding high energy intake, excessive animal protein, and excessive dairy products and alkalizing calcium intake may be helpful in preventing prostate cancer, and for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Specifically, consumption of tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, and vitamins, including Vitamin E and selenium, seemed to propose a decreased risk of a cancerous prostate. Consumption of highly processed or charcoaled meats, dairy products, and saturated or trans fats seemed to be correlated with a cancerous condition, including a cancerous prostate.

"Although not conclusive, results suggest that general dietary modification has a beneficial effect on the prevention of prostate cancer," the authors conclude. "In patients with prostate cancer, dietary therapy allows patients to be an active participant in their treatment."

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center, "any cancerous condition, including a cancerous prostate is the result of poor elimination of dietary and/or metabolic acids through the four channels of elimination - lungs, bowels, kidneys and skin. To achieve extraordinary health and fitness you must maintain the alkaline design of the body with an alkaline lifestyle and diet I call the pH Miracle Plan."

Reusable Grocery Bags Are Acidic and Could Poison You

Grocery shoppers who go for the green with reusable bags could end up green with illness, according to the first microbiological study in North America of the earth-friendly option.

The bags could be a breeding ground for dangerous acid produced bacteria, yeast and mold, according to the study, which two independent labs did at the behest of the Canadian Plastics Industry Association.

The labs found that 64 percent of the reusable bags harbored some level of bacteria. Yeast or mold was found in 40 percent of the bags, and some bags even had detectable levels of fecal intestinal bacteria.

"The main risk is food poisoning," said Dr. Richard Summerbell, research director at Toronto's Sporometrics, who was commissioned to evaluate the findings of the study. "But other significant risks include skin infections such as bacterial boils, allergic reactions, triggering of asthma attacks, and ear infections."

Summerbell described the problem as being similar kitchen cutting boards' transferring acids and germs. The more waterproof a shopping bag is, as in the case of plastic-weave bags, the more likely it is to harbor pathogens, he said.

"The main actual hazard involved is if there's a little bit of acidic spillage in there from some meat or some eggs, then food-poisoning organisms could be transferred over to other food," he said.

What should people do to stay safe? Besides the obvious practice of washing reusable bags regularly with hot water and alkalizing puripHy salts, one suggestion is to consider using throw-away plastic bags. Another important piece of advice is to avoid using grocery shopping bags for other purposes, such as carrying gym shoes and diapers.

Although airing out the bags helps, there is always the possibility of acid contamination if they are not washed.

"When food shopping I would suggest using a cotton or hemp cloth bag that can be washed after use," states Dr. Robert O. Young, Director of Research at the pH Miracle Living Center.

"In addition if you do use reusable plastic bags make sure you wash them in 11 to 12pH water and add a few drops of Young pHorever puripHy to detox the bag from any acidic residues and/or biological transformation, i.e., bacteria, yeast or mold," states Dr. Young
