The Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial
The prostate cancer prevention trial is a document that looks at all this possible anti, and examines the evidence that exists to support their effectiveness. This report was published by the Tea Council of the UK and covers much of the research that supports the theory that green tea can prevent prostate cancer. In addition, this report examines the progress made in preventing prostate cancer, and cancer in particular why this should be a target for prevention rather than treatment.

The Diet in The Treatment of Obesity (Part 1)
Obesity is a disease that can be defined as the increase in body weight over 15% of its value considered normal, due to increased body fat.
There is a parameter that lets you easily define the existence of obesity, body mass index (BMI):
BMI (kg/m2) = Actual Weight / Height x Height
* Weight in Kg
* Length in meters
Obesity is a carrier of any person with a Body Mass Index (BMI) greater or equal to 30 kg/m2. Body Mass Index (BMI) also serves to classify the different degrees of obesity:
* BMI 30-40 kg/m2, moderate obesity
* BMI> 40 kg/m2, extreme obesity.
In Spain the prevalence of obesity, according to a study led by Javier Aranceta and collaborators in 1995, was 13.4% in men and women aged 25-60 years. What is more worrying is the fact that it is increasing.
Another important aspect from the point of view of morbidity (increased risk of illness) and mortality, is the fact that people with a BMI over 30, have an increased risk of diabetes (excess weight causes a resistance to insulin and may be caused by either a carbohydrate intolerance, but not all obese people are diabetic and vice versa), hypertension (with increasing body mass, the heart must pump more blood, which is an increase in the values of blood pressure)…,

Predisposing Obesity in Certain Diet
A study ratifies importance combination diet-genetic in obesity: not only influence diet and genetics separately but also very important combination so what fattens a person can affect least another.
Therefore genetic analysis determining diet personalized is each day closer is one of hopes for combat overweight and obesity.
Research has been directed by Human Nutrition Research Center Boston (USA) and therein collaborated include both scientists Medicine department Preventive Universitat de Valéncia (led by Dolors Corella) like Dr. José Ordovás recognized expert on internationally. Work published in magazine Archives of Internal Medicine.
The importance of research is that was first EBERs gene-diet three different populations, increasing validity results.

Vegetarian Diet and Bone Health
This feeding is associated with lower bone mineral density, but no cause for clinical concern. The association between vegetarian diets and bone mineral density is controversial.
The debate centers on the possibility that this type of food results in a lower bone mass, as some studies, compared to other investigations that have found no statistical significance in this relationship.
The issue concerned because BMD is the strongest and most consistent predictor of fractures associated with osteoporosis.
In Western countries, a considerable proportion of the population has adopted a vegetarian diet that includes foods not found in traditional diets as the best for the formation and growth of bones.
The quality and quantity of ingested nutrients (calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D, A, K) and the consumption of other dietary elements that promote or hinder the absorption of minerals that nourish the bone, have a significant imprint on health marrow.
These factors add up to each individual’s genetic predisposition to develop bone disorders.
The latest review on the possible association between diet and bone mineral density, a controversial issue, is a meta-analysis conducted by the Bone and Mineral Research Program Garvan Institute of Medical Research, picked up this October in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
