Urine Test Strips For Bladder Cancer
I know you are thinking about next year and the perfect diet. Lots of you are living on chicken and turkey and avoiding red meat at all costs. This is an excerpt from an article I read recently. Just a heads up on cooking that chicken and its relationship to bladder cancer. The very inexpensive home test for early detection of bladder cancer -- Urine Test Strips.
...A study conducted by Harvard researchers found that people who eat bacon at least five times a week face a much greater risk of developing bladder cancer - 59% more than people who don't eat bacon.
For this study, scientists analyzed data collected from 88,471 women and 47,422 men (from the Nurse's Health Study and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study, respectively). Some of the patients were monitored for up to 22 years. And over the course of the research, 808 participants developed bladder cancer.
They found that meat-eating in general did not appear to increase the risk of bladder cancer...but that eating bacon did.
They also learned of a more surprising apparent risk-raiser: skinless chicken. The data showed that people who ate skinless chicken 5 or more times a week faced a 52% higher risk of bladder cancer than those who ate chicken cooked with the skin on....
The results of this test also showed that the subjects who did routine urine tests for blood had a much higher survival rate. The minute traces of blood in your urine can be an indication of bladder cancer. Early detection always improves the cure rate.
So this is one thing for you to include in your plan for next year. Buy some test strips and use them every week. I checked and they are readily available on line and probably at your local health food store. Oh yah, strip that chicken skin off before you eat the chicken. But you knew that.
until next time smile
