Red, blue, purple produce slows cancer
BOSTON, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- The compounds that give color to most red, purple and blue produce -- anthocyanins -- may slow the growth of colon cancer cells, a U.S. study showed.

Lead author Monica Giusti of Ohio State University tested the anti-cancer effects of anthocyanin-rich extracts from a variety of fruits and vegetables including grapes, radishes, purple corn, chokeberries, bilberries, purple carrots and elderberries.

The researchers found that the amount of anthocyanin extract needed to reduce cancer cell growth by 50 percent varied among the plants -- extract derived from purple corn was the most potent, while chokeberry and bilberry extracts were nearly as potent as purple corn.

Radish, the least potent, took nine times as much of the compound to cut cell growth by 50 percent.

"All fruits and vegetables that are rich in anthocyanins have compounds that can slow down the growth of colon cancer cells, whether in experiments in laboratory dishes or inside the body," Giusti said in a statement.

Giusti and colleagues presented the findings at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston.

Need Another Reason to Have Sex? It's Good for Your Heart, Study Shows ,
August 20, 2007

Need another good reason to have sex?

Well, Irish researchers believe they have one: It's good for your heart, according to a report in Psychology Today.

Researchers from the University of Bristol and Queen's University of Belfast studied 2,500 men ages 45 to 59 for 10 years and found that men who have three or more orgasms a week are 50 percent less likely to die from coronary heart disease.

The findings also suggested that sex can be used to help prevent heart attacks and strokes as a means of fulfilling the recommendation for sustained physical activity for at least 20 minutes, three times a week.

But Ireland has one of the highest rates of cardiac disease in the European Union. That says something about something.

Nothing to it-- In the winter it takes you that long to find them in the King Size bed with half a dozen quilts-woolies with footies, stocking cap and all :wink: :lol: :lol:

Then when you do find her- and you finally touch bare skin with your hands that ain't been warmed under the covers yet- she end's up clinging to the ceiling- or swinging, with you ducking-- calling you all those sweet little pet names... :shock:

Easy to get 20 minutes exercise-- and not get anything else :wink: :lol:
