Eli Lilly is milking cancer. Tell Them to Stop!

Eli Lilly has taken pinkwashing (Pinkwashers are companies that claim to care about breast cancer but make or sell products that are linked to the disease. rBGH (recombinant bovine growth hormone) is one of those products) to a whole new level. By adding rBGH to the products they sell, Eli Lilly has completed its cancer profit circle: it creates cancer with rBGH, it sells cancer treatment drugs like Gemzar, and it sells a drug, Evista, to reduce the risk of breast cancer in women at high risk of the disease. Eli Lilly’s cancer drugs made $2,683,000,000 for the company in 2008. It’s potentially carcinogenic dairy hormone made $985,000,000 in the same year. That is over 3.5 Billion dollars! A year!

Are You Wasting Your Vitamins?

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition declared that these two nutrients in particular, along with certain fruits and vegetables could help maintain bone density in the elderly…and that’s just the beginning. I’m referring to magnesium and potassium. Make sure you get enough.

Right now you can make four simple changes to decrease your health adjusted age by 12 years.

They are diet, smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity.
A 20 year British survey of 4886 persons over 18 started in 1984. The researchers computed a health behaviour score, allocating 1 point for poor behaviour in each of the categories diet, smoking, alcohol consumption and physical activity. So the higher the score, the higher the perceived risk or the worse the rating.
The people who scored 4 had a death rate equivalent to being 12 years older in comparison to those who scored zero.
The great thing is that the bar was set extremely low which makes it very easy to improve above it. Only three portions of fruit and vegetables and two hours a week of exercise (17 minutes a day) gets you zero in those categories. Even the alcohol allowance was generous, 14 units of alcohol a week for women and 21 for men.
