Encouraged, Nichols' scientists began testing the compound, designated FGN-1, on lab animals. It seemed effective against several types of cancers--breast, lung and bladder--but the animals lost weight. That raised a question: Was it the drug or the weight loss that was providing the anti-cancer action? When the scientists repeated the experiments at lower doses, the animals improved without losing weight. "We got a beautiful dose response," says Pamukcu...
...ancestry who live in the U.S. get the disease six times more often than their grandmothers and great-grandmothers in Japan. Yet a huge recent study of 90,000 women has refuted the breast cancer-fat link. Fat has also been suggested as a trigger for colon, prostate and bladder cancers--but there's no hard evidence that cutting fat will reduce your risk for any of these diseases...
...this, I'll find you and kill you," Volpe admitted warning Louima that night. But, tellingly, while Volpe apologized "for hurting my family," he offered no apology to his victim. Nor was there any apology from Volpe's lawyer, Marvyn Kornberg, who had claimed--without evidence--that the ruptured bladder and rectal lacerations that Louima, a married father of two, had suffered in the attack were the result of consensual...
FILL 'ER UP Loading up on liquids--any kind, including water, coffee or soda--may help protect the bladder from cancer. Data on 50,000 men show that consuming ten 8-oz. glasses each day can cut the risk of bladder cancer in half. The liquids probably flush away carcinogens and keep urine diluted so toxins make less contact with the bladder wall. Half a gallon a day may sound like a lot to swallow, but it's only about three glasses more than most people already drink...
...BROCCOLI Among all the cancer-fighting vegetables, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage stand out, especially in cancers of the bladder. Regardless of how many fruits and vegetables a group of 48,000 men ate, only those consuming broccoli and related cruciferous veggies reduced their risk of bladder cancer, according to a report in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Broccoli and its kin may fight cancer by detoxifying organisms in the gut that would otherwise trigger malignancies in bladder tissue...
