<description><![CDATA[China is the factory of the world. A major chunk of every manufactured item that is being used today - either fully or partly is Made in China. China has been able to manufacture almost every item at a fraction of the cost as compared to America. The economics of scale, favorable government policies, low cost of labor etc. has made this possible. China has surpassed Germany as the world's leading exporter of manufactured goods. If you thought Chinese are taking away your jobs and are a threat to American economy it is time these views are changed. It is America and other developed nations that have gained immensely from China. Those who have grabbed the opportunity that is China have prospered beyond imagination.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Want to stave of aging? Indian Gooseberry also known as Amla or Emblica Officinalis could help. It can even prevent age related ailments like muscle loss and cancer. Researchers at Italy and Spain have found that eating Amla fruit boosts antioxidant levels in blood. Higher levels of antioxidants is known to combat the effects of oxidative stress, lessening the effects of aging and even reduce the chances of contracting age related degenerative diseases like cancer, diabetes and heart diseases. For this study researchers fed subjects who were healthy volunteers with 500 grams of Amla fruit over a period of 15 days. The blood sample of the subjects was taken after 4, 8, 12 and 16 days as well as one month later. The test report showed that eating the amla fruit has boosted the antioxidants level and also has prevented the red blood cells from undergoing haemolysis. Haemolysis is a process in which the red blood cells get ruptured and destroyed. This process can lead to variety of ailments.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Very soon an universal drug to treat all type of cancerous tumors may be developed. Scientists have claimed a breakthrough in turning a breast cancer to a medicine that treat all types of cancerous tumors. The focus is on cancer drug therapy based on class of pharmaceuticals called PARP inhibitors. PARP stands for Poly ADP ribose polymerase is a protein molecule which plays an active role in various cellular processes, DNA repair and programmed cell death. PARP inhibitors are particularly effective in treating hereditary breast cancers. PARP inhibitors have the ability to zero in on rouge cells and tumors and kill them selectively without harming the healthy cells. This also means that the side effects that is normally associated with radiotherapy or chemotherapy is very minimal with this type of pharmaceuticals.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tamoxifen is a drug that interferes with the activity of estrogen particularly in the mammary glands of women. It has been used to treat and prevent breast cancer for the past 3 decades. Breast cancer cells needs estrogen to grow. Without estrogen these cells are deprived of their vital nutrition and may die. This principle is used when Tamoxifen drug was formulated. Tamoxifen binds with the estrogen receptors in the breast thereby depriving breast cancer cells of vital protein in estrogen. To put it in layman's terms imagine an auditorium with a limited number of seats and assume the auditorium manager gives advance information to all the well behaved people and books their tickets. The auditorium gets filled with all the good guys the unruly bad elements who come late do not get a place inside. The show in the auditorium goes on without any trouble or untoward events. In this case the good guys are the molecules in the Tamoxifen which bind to estrogen receptors and the bad elements are the breast cancer cells. This process is also known as competitive antagonism.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Tobacco is by far the single most important cause of cancer in developed countries. When it is chewed it can cause cancers of the mouth and esophagus and when tobacco is smoked it is a major cause of cancers of the mouth, pharynx, esophagus, larynx, lung, pancreas, renal pelvis, and bladder. For these eight type of cancers epidemiological evidence indicates that prolonged smoking of average numbers of cigarettes per day increases the risk 3 to 20 times. It is also now clear that cigarette smoking also causes a proportion of several other types of cancer, increasing the incidence up to twice that in non-smokers: namely, cancers of the lip, nose, nasopharynx, stomach, liver, renal and myeloid leukemia. Although the proportional increases are not large, the consistency of the findings in different countries, the evidence of dose response relationships, the lower mortality in ex-smokers than in continuing smokers confirm the relationship between these type of cancers and tobacco.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[All the factors that cause cancer are not fully understood. But there are certain commonly accepted and well documented risk factors. Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for cancer. It is also the most commonly practiced act in the world that can cause cancer. There are approximately 1.2 billion smokers in the world today. Cigarette smoke contains as much as 50 carcinogens with 15 of them being Group 1 carcinogens. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Cancer is one of the leading killer diseases in the developed countries today. In United States alone at the present rate as much as 40% of the population could develop some type of cancer in their lifetime. It is a deadly disease causing severe damage and drain on one's finances. The loss of human productivity and the loss of life associated with cancer is truly unbearable. But the cause and origin of this deadly disease is only poorly understood. One reason why it has been difficult to recognize causes of cancer in humans is the long delay that characteristically occurs between the start of exposure to a carcinogen and the appearance of the clinical disease. This 'latent period', as it is commonly, but rather misleadingly, called is often several decades, although it may be as short as 1 year or as long as 60. The disease will remain dormant for years and even decades and then suddenly burst out. The exact relation between the date of exposure to carcinogens and the date of the appearance of different cancers is still uncertain.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Though it is difficult to pinpoint who can be more susceptible to a particular type of cancer, there are certain biological, gender and ethnic factors which make the occurrence of a particular type of cancer more probable in some individuals than others. Speculations about the causes of cancer and the mechanisms that lead to its occurrence have been constrained by some of its biological characteristics. These include the relationships between incidence and genetic susceptibility, age, sex, and the delay (which is sometimes misleadingly called the 'latent period') that occurs between exposure to a causative agent and the appearance of clinical disease. Genetic susceptibility to cancer: It has been demonstrated by various studies that if one member of a family develops a specific type of cancer, other members are somewhat more likely to develop that same type than would be expected in the population as a whole. Several genes have such a great effect on susceptibility that bearers of one such gene (if it is dominant) or two (if they are recessive) almost invariably develop a particular type of cancer.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Cancer and gambling are in a way related. No. Don't get it wrong you do not have a higher or lower chance of contracting cancer if you indulge in any type of gambling. But there is a subtle similarity between the game of chance and chance of cancer. In the case of gambling or in any game of chance luck plays a major part in determining who gets to win and who does not. Of course skill and logical analysis can have some minimal impact in the outcome of any game of chance but it is almost always sheer luck that plays a main role. Similarly luck plays a major role in determining who gets cancer and who does not in a good number of cases. The influence of luck when it comes to cancer is commonly ignored; yet it is important for the individual. How is that two animals of identical genetic constitution that have been treated in the same way do not, in general, develop cancer in the same place at precisely the same age is always a mystery.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Cancer is generally defined as a growth or tumor that results from abnormal and uncontrolled cell division. Normal cells of the body, with a few exceptions, constantly undergo cell division as old and injured cells die off and are replaced. The process of Controlled growth and death of normal cells is referred to as homeostasis, and its goal is to maintain a healthy balance in the life processes of the cells, tissues, and organs of the body. To achieve this goal, cell growth and division occurs in a process called the cell cycle, and its steps are carefully controlled by a variety of genetic and molecular feedback mechanisms.In cancer cells, any one or several of these mechanisms malfunction, allowing the cells' growth to proceed unchecked.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Testosterone is an anti aging hormone in men that is responsible for many other functions apart from defining sexual characteristics and drive in men. This hormone which also known as anabolic steroid regulates basic body metabolism, stimulates red blood cell production and hinders the excessive production of free radicals. It also facilities protein synthesis and build up of lean body tissue. Unlike most other hormones testosterone exerts its effect by quickly passing through the membranes of cell and binding itself to the specific activation site of the DNA.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For many years medical researchers have known that free radical oxidation of body cells is the main reason behind most of the degenerative diseases and they can be controlled by substances known as antioxidants. Fortunately our body has its own antioxidants for preventing free radical cellular damage. One of the most effective of these is the substance tocopherol or Vitamin E. Tocopherol dissolves in fat which makes it all the more important as maximum free radical damage occurs in membranes of the cells and low density lipoproteins. These are fat molecules. Vitamin C is also a potent antioxidant.]]></description>
