Two fizzy drinks a week 'can raise your chance of getting pancreatic cancer by 87%'

People who have at least two sugary fizzy drinks each week may be putting themselves at risk of deadly pancreatic cancer, scientists say.
A study found that consumer two or more calorific soft drinks a week increases the chances of developing the disease by 87 per cent, compared to people who avoid them.
The scientists who made the discovery are unsure whether fizzy drinks are to blame - or whether people who consume them are more likely to have unhealthy lifestyles that put them at greater risk of cancer.
Some studies, however, have shown that soft drinks trigger a spike in blood sugar which puts the pancreas under extra stress.
Pancreatic cancer is the 11th most common cancer in Britain, but also one of the most deadly forms of the disease. It claims 7,700 lives every year.
Hollywood star Patrick Swayze died from the disease last year.
The findings are based on a 14 year study of more than 60,000 men and women living Singapore.

‘Also, people who drank lots of fizzy drinks in this study were more likely to be unhealthy in other ways, like smoking, eating more calories, and being less active, so it is difficult to separate the effects of all of these things.
‘The evidence in this area is still inconsistent. Some previous studies have found a similar link between soft drinks and pancreatic cancer, but others have not. Even so, it’s important to remember that people can put on weight if they drink lots of sugary, fizzy drinks and being overweight increases the risk of lots of different types of cancer including bowel and breast cancers.’

Doctors already warn women in particular to restrict the amount of some fizzy drinks they consumer because it makes their bones weaker, probably due to phosphoric acid which is found in cola.

Higher sugar intake may be responsible.
Experts says if you eat and drink more sugary food it increases your blood sugar levels which affects the amount of work the pancreas has to do. It could stimulate growth of the pancreas and this could lead to cancer.

Wearing Heels Damage your Brain and Back


They were one of the biggest fashion trends of the last decade, but now it seems killer heels, like the 6in Louboutins loved by Posh, are killing our feet.

Last week, the former Spice Girl was photographed in fit-flops, with grosslyswollen and reddened bunions protruding from the side of her feet.
But she is not alone. Doctors say that 80 per cent of women experience foot problems as a result of wearing ill-fitting shoes, with heels being the main culprit.

This is despite the fact that the privately-educated single girl-abouttown already has hideous bunions.
She says: 'They are extremely painful, as soon as I ease my feet into my heels, my toes scrunch up in pain. It is is a constant ache, and yet this is the price that I am prepared to pay for fashion.
'I know that I am going to have to have the bunions surgically removed in the future - yet I go on wearing heels.'
'I have friends who are going out wearing eight inch heels. It's the fashion. I would kill for a pair of Christian Louboutin or Jimmy Choo shoes, and it is heels which make my heart flip with desire.'


A new report on behalf of The Vitality Show, a showcase for health, beauty and fitness, reveals that more than 200,000 British women last year sought medical help for their feet, with 10,000 needing hospital treatment.
Bunions are an actual deformity of the bone, and have to be surgically removed. More than half of these foot problems are directly assigned to wearing high-heeled shoes and over a third of women who experience pain in their feet are left with permanent damage.
The most common complaints are bunions, hammer toes (where the toe becomes bent due to a deformity of the joint), tendon and nerve damage, and shin splints (pain in the tibia).
The research also highlights that 65 per cent of women still wear high heels for 40 hours a week at work, 35 per cent of which wear heels over 5in high.


As well as the podiatry problems, heels also have a dangerous effect on the back, distorting its natural alignment and compressing the spinal nerves resulting in back pain.
It's even suggested that the habitual wearing of high heels can have an impact on the brain by constricting both blood vessels and nerve supplies, causing headaches and impairing mental function.
The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists states that wearing just a three-inch heel increases pressure to the ankle by 80 per cent.
No wonder that one of the more unusual cosmetic treatments for women now is the 'foot filler'.
Leading cosmetic surgery The Harley Medical Group have seen a surprising increase in the number of women requesting collagen injections which plump up the balls of the feet, making wearing heels a little more comfortable.


The collagen numbs the ball of the foot - yet is attracting criticism as pain is the body's natural mechanism to indicate that something is wrong.
Dr Nick Milojevic, specialist nonsurgical doctor at The Harley Medical Group, says: 'This year we have received increased enquiries for foot fillers, a technique of using fillers to pad out the ball of the foot to reduce the pain cause by more vertiginous heels.


'We do say to patients that the results are not long lasting because of the high impact on this area of the body so that they should think twice before spending the money.'

Why Men Want Sex and Women Want Love

by Elena Solomon

Men are frustrated with women because they never want sex.
Women are frustrated with men because they always want sex.

Women blame men they don’t know how to love.
Men blame women that they only talk about love but don’t want to make it.

Whether you are a man or a woman, reading this article can change your life - finally, you will be able to get rid of your frustrations about the opposite gender.

The reason humans want sex is due to the hormone testosterone, which is predominantly male hormone. A normal male’s body produces 20 times more of this hormone than a female’s.

In other words, a male feels the same way after one day without sex as a female after 20 days without sex. A male that has not had sex in 20 days feels the same way as a female after more than a year without sex.

Knowing this simple difference, you can already understand the pain of the opposite gender. It’s NOT their fault: they are made this way! It’s in our genes! This is the reason why men are men and women are women.

Men and women are DIFFERENT.
Not better or worse, just different.

A man can father a child every time he has sex, and a woman can only mother a child every two years or so. This means, a woman HAS TO be picky about who she allows to have sex with her.

For generations women were paying too high a price for making a wrong choice. Women that have chosen men with bad genes had a weaker offspring and their children struggled to survive. Women that have chosen men with good genes had a stronger offspring and their children survived disproportionally. Those children were carrying their picky mother’s genes and this is why those female genes were passed to us.

On the other hand, men never had adverse consequences of making a wrong choice. The more children they produced, the higher was their chance to pass their genes to future generations, as some of them would certainly survive. While men were determined to seek better genes too, they had to grab all chances to procreate coming their way to ensure their genes would be passed forward. The men that ONLY stuck with one woman (even a high quality woman) were losing genetically to the men that used all of their opportunities and had many more children that survived. Those children were carrying their father’s promiscuous genes, and this is why those male genes were passed to us.

By Nature men are made to seek as much sex as they can get, so they can spread their seed wider.

By Nature women are made to seek as many admirers as they can get, so they can make a better choice and get the best seed.

Men seek quantity - women seek quality.

This is why men seek sex and women seek love.

Love is the proof that a woman needs to have some assurance that the man will stick around and help her with the upbringing of the offspring. For a woman, sex is the culmination of her emotional commitment to a man.

For a man, sex is a physical act that eases the testosterone pressure he experiences constantly. Only after this tension has gone, can a man feel love towards a woman. This is why it often happens that men disappear after they got what they wanted: it wasn’t love; it was the testosterone pressure. Sex for men is the reality check of their passion.

This is why having sex early in the relationship is hazardous for women: the man has not had the time to develop any romantic feelings for her. He needs time to develop those feelings, and the only way to do it is through keeping the sexual tension going for as long as practicable. Sex must be attainable, nearly possible - but not quite. When the sexual tension is at its peak, its release is mind-blowing - and once is never enough, which lays a proper foundation for a future relationship – and love.

Men fall in love through sex; women fall in sex through love.

All of this happens on the unconscious level - we do NOT realize what’s going on.

But the reason why you are here today and alive is because each and every of your ancestors, men and women, acted true to their instincts and managed to attract at least one sexual partner and produce an offspring.

So, there is no need to be bitter about men wanting sex and women wanting love. Those two are the necessary pieces of the puzzle called Survival Of The Species.

And you’ll be better off understanding what the other gender is going through and giving them exactly what they want: a mind-blowing sex or exhilarating love.

Go get ‘em! :-)
