Prostate Health - Drink Red Wine and Green Tea

Jackpot! Two of my favorite beverages.  During the weekday, I drink a cup or two of green tea at work. Every evening, I try to have a glass or two of red wine with dinner.

I 'm hoping the prostate health benefit is real, as reported by this FASEB Journal article, Polyphenols in red wine and green tea halt prostate cancer growth.  The Journal reports:

"In what could lead to a major advance in the treatment of prostate cancer, scientists now know exactly why polyphenols in red wine and green tea inhibit cancer growth. This new discovery explains how antioxidants in red wine and green tea produce a combined effect to disrupt an important cell signaling pathway necessary for prostate cancer growth. This finding is important because it may lead to the development of drugs that could stop or slow cancer progression, or improve current treatments."

Current ("old") inhalers use chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) propellants. Because CFCs damage the ozone layer, the FDA will prohibit the sale of CFC inhalers commonly used in the treatment of asthma and other respiratory conditions. This NewsChief article reports that the FDA intends to ban even more CFC-containing inhalers in the future, "Deadlines for other inhalers to go eco-friendly." Here are the highlights that you'll want to know about . . .
  • The most commonly used inhalers (used on a daily basis) go CFC-free by end of 2008
  • Other types of inhalers targeted to go CFC-free after 2008 include: Cromolyn, nedocromil, Combivent, metaproterenol, pirbuterol, flunisolide, triamcinolone, epinephrine.
