This March 30 opens World Bipolar Disorder Day, coinciding with the date of birth of Vincent Van Gogh, who was said to suffer from this disorder. The objective is to promote global awareness in this regard, and eliminate the social stigma that comes with the suffering of this disorder.
Most people will suffer back pain at some point in their lives, affecting the activities of daily life, their mood, their effectiveness to work … and, ultimately, their quality of life.
Today we are speaking about the third area in which there are many prevalent myths, which is that similar to cases in which cancer patients end up eliminating certain essential foods from their diets in order to fight the disease, there are others that do the opposite, by adding different foods, herbs, or supplements that could be harmful, or simply, they increase the cost of one’s diet without any real evidence of their effectiveness. Remember what we spoke about in the first post about diet and cancer: “there is no ingredient or dietary product that can cure cancer by itself”.
In this article we will speak on a very interesting topic, rather than refer to specific foods, we will speak about the form and utensils used to cook and store them.
Of all of the materials that are used to make containers, the most polemic is possibly plastic and, in particular, a component of plastic, Bisphenol A (BPA), a widely used chemical substance that is used to make plastic and resin. BPA is used, for example, to make polycarbonate, a clear and hard plastic that is most often used for food containers (bottles, plates, cups…). It is also used to make resin, which is used for the protective coverings of cans and other food and drink containers.
Many people who are diagnosed with cancer look for additional information about the aspects of diet than could be changed in order to combat the disease. They research products, cooking, utensils, or habits that could be harmful or that could have a magic or miraculous effect on the body. They spend a lot of time gathering information from the internet, books, or articles – that are not always scientifically endorsed – and follow the advice of friends or family that have heard or read about this subject.

An ultrasound provides images of internal organs which have been constructed using sound waves. These images are produced by a probe (transducer), which when placed directly onto the skin sends ultrasound waves into the body. It then receives the waves which rebound off the organs, analysing them and constructing an image of the organs afterwards. [Continue Reading]
