3 Overlooked Natural Treatments for Prostate Cancer

The chances are if you have an enlarged prostate, your doctor will give you advice like… “go to the bathroom when you feel the urge”… or “don’t drink a lot at once.”
Or they’ll prescribe medication. But these synthetic drugs have a history of nightmarish side effects for someone already dealing with an unpredictable prostate.
Many of the drugs you’ll be prescribed also decrease sex drive and in many cases cause impotence.1
And if you have surgery, there’s a risk you’ll be saying ...

What Exactly Is The Microwave Doing To Your Food? Here's The Science
Americans have been using microwave ovens for about 60 years, and we finally seemed convinced that they're safe as well as convenient. But it seems we just can't stop wondering if microwaved foods are somehow less nutritious than the same foods cooked on the stove or in a conventional oven. As it turns out, scientists say, microwaved foods may be more nutritious that you probably thought. "In general, microwaving results in less loss of nutrients compared with boiling and frying," Dr. Guy Crosby, adjunct associate professor of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, told The Huffington Post in an e...
