Eggs - healthy or not?

Eggs are in the news again. Is it good news this time or bad news?

Well--it's both.

Yet again, eggs are confusing us all by being nutritious, but associated with certain health risks.

According to recent studies, the news looks good if you're a woman trying to avoid breast cancer; not quite so good if you're a middle aged man who eats more than one a day.

I grew up with the idea that eggs were a healthy way to get protein for breakfast.

Then came the news they had Bad Cholesterol, and many health-conscious folks like me started to avoid them.

Then researchers figured out that the cholesterol in the eggs wasn't all that problematic, and eggs started to look like a great convenient choice again.

I probably eat about 7 eggs a week myself, the kind with a bit of an Omega-3 boost, and don't plan to stop.

Hypothermia - Fever Therapy for Cancer

A type of treatment in which body tissue is exposed to high temperatures to damage and kill cancer cells, or in the case of conventional therapy, to make cancer cells more sensitive to the effects of radiation and certain anticancer drugs.

Local hyperthermia treatment (heat applied to a very small area, such as a tumor) is a well-established cancer treatment method with a simple basic principle: If a rise in temperature to 106÷F can be obtained for one hour within a cancer tumor, the cancer cells will be destroyed.
The area may be heated externally with high-frequency waves aimed at a tumor from a device outside the body.

Ultrasound is more easily focused than other energy modalities, and can be applied to tumors located from the skin to 8 centimeters (approx. 3 in.) within the body.

This allows the treatment of tumors unreachable by other external modalities.

Whole-body heating is used to treat metastatic cancer that has spread throughout the body.
It can be accomplished using warm-water blankets, hot wax, inductive coils (like those in electric blankets), or thermal chambers (similar to large incubators).

Breast Implant Cancer Risks

In a test that was taken at the late 70's, Injection silicon under the skin of rats induced a high incidence of malignant tumors.

Women who have breast implants appear to suffer more lung and brain cancers than other plastic surgery patients, a study says.

Is it worth it ???
