#Tomato-Rich Diet May Lower Kidney Cancer Risk Women who eat more tomatoes or other lycopene-containing fruits
and vegetables may have a lower risk of developing kidney cancer a new study suggests. Lycopene is an antioxidant that gives tomatoes watermelon grapefruit
and papaya their reddish color and some studies have suggested it may reduce the risk of a number of cancers including lung and stomach cancer.
The researchers also gathered data on the women's supplement use. 5 Key Nutrients Women Need As They Age During the study period 383 women were diagnosed with kidney cancer.
The researchers looked at the relationship between kidney cancer and a number of vitamins and other nutrients in the diet including lycopene Vitamin c Vitamin e and several carotenes.
The results showed that only lycopene was associated with a lower kidney cancer risk. Women who consumed the highest amount of lycopene had a 45 percent lower risk of kidney cancer compared with those who ate the lowest amount according to the study presented Monday June 2) at the annual meeting of the American Society for Clinical
Oncology in Chicago. The amount of lycopene in the diet of the women who consumed lycopene at the highest level in the study would be equal to eating four tomatoes daily said study researcher Dr. Won Jin Ho a medical
Kidney cancer also called renal cancer is the ninth most common cancer among Americans and accounts for about 2 percent of all cancers in the United states according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Kidney cancer often doesn't cause symptoms in its early stages and is diagnosed often accidentally during a medical examination
or not until the cancer has progressed. In later stages signs of the cancer include blood in the urine back pain and general feeling of poor health.
But these symptoms could also be signs of other health problems such as infections. Studies have suggested that a process known as oxidative stress may play an important role in the development of kidney cancer the researchers said.
A diet rich in micronutrients that have antioxidant properties could potentially affect the risk of this cancer
but more studies are needed to know for sure they said. Email Bahar Gholipour or follow her@alterwired. Follow us@Livescience Facebook & Google+.

#10 Important Ways to Avoid Summer Tick Bites Editor's Note: This story was updated at 4: 50 p m. ET:
Each year about 300000 people in the U s. catch Lyme disease which is caused by bacteria from a tick bite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates.
Thousands more develop tick-borne diseases such as the malarialike disease babesiosis the flulike anaplasmosis and the Heartland virus infection.
Permethrin the insecticide found in antimalarial bed nets kills adult ticks as well as those in their larval stage called nymphs which are the likeliest to harbor Lyme disease.
People who are in the habit of showering immediately after outdoor activities are less likely to get Lyme disease perhaps

#Lung cancer Rates in US Declining, CDC Finds The percentage of Americans developing lung cancer every year is dropping according to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
On average 78 of every 100000 men in the U s. developed lung cancer in 2009 down from 87 per 100000 in 2005 according to the report.
That's a decline of 2. 6 percent in men's rate of lung cancer. Similarly for women lung cancer rates decreased 1. 1 percent dropping to 54 cases in every 100000 women in 2009 from 57 in 2005.
The drop was the steepest in people ages 35 to 44 with their rate decreasing about 6 percent per year.
These dramatic declines in the number of young adults with lung cancer show that tobacco prevention control programs work
Now men younger than 45 have slightly lower rates of lung cancer than women of the same age
even though lung cancer has historically been more common in men. While it is encouraging that lung cancer incidence rates are dropping in the United states one preventable cancer is one too many Frieden said.
Implementation of tobacco control strategies is needed to reduce smoking prevalence and the lung cancer it causes among men and women.
Lung cancer is the deadliest and the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among both men and women in the United states. Between 2005 and 2009 about 1 million people in the U s. were diagnosed with invasive lung cancer.
Most lung cancers are attributable to cigarette smoking and secondhand smoke. An estimated 43.8 million U s. adults smoke cigarettes according to the CDC.
Tobacco prevention and control strategies include increasing tobacco prices enacting smoke-free laws and restricting tobacco advertising and promotion.

and other foods may improve the function of blood vessels in people with cardiovascular disease according to a new study
Researchers found that blood-vessel function improved by 53 percent in cardiovascular disease patients who had been taking a 7-milligram lycopene supplement daily for two months compared with their blood-vessel function before they began taking lycopene.
We've shown quite clearly that lycopene improves the function of blood vessels in cardiovascular disease patients Dr. Joseph Cheriyan a consultant clinical pharmacologist
It reinforces the need for a healthy diet in people at risk from heart disease and stroke.
whether improved blood-vessel function may mean a reduced risk of heart disease. This would need much larger trials to investigate outcomes more carefully Cheriyan said. 7 Ways to Lower Your Risk of Heart disease Previous research has shown that cardiovascular disease is less common in countries where most people follow the so-called Mediterranean diet
which abounds in lycopene-rich tomatoes vegetables and olive oil. Although other studies have suggested a link between lycopene consumption
and reduced cardiovascular disease risk they have not shown the effect of the substance on the function of blood vessels.
In the study 36 cardiovascular disease patients and 36 healthy people took Ateronon an over-the-counter lycopene supplement or a placebo.
The cardiovascular disease patients had also been taking statins (cholesterol-lowering drugs) but their blood-vessel function was impaired still compared with the healthy participants'blood-vessel function.
They found that lycopene improved the blood-vessel function allowing the blood vessels to dilate more in response to acetylcholine in the cardiovascular disease patients.
or heart attack even though impaired functioning of blood vessels and cardiovascular disease are related often. Further research should examine data on heart attacks in people taking lycopene to determine
if taking the supplement actually translates into better cardiovascular disease outcomes Hazen told Live Science. Still he recommended that people be cautious about taking supplements including lycopene as it is often not completely clear how exactly they might affect people's health.
You can't overdose on vegetables but you can have a problem when you take too many supplements Hazen said.

#Skipping Red Meat May Lower Breast cancer Risk Women who eat more poultry fish nuts and legumes and less red meat when they are young adults might have lower risk of developing breast cancer later in life according to a new study.
The researchers looked at nearly 89000 women ages 26 to 45 and followed them for 20 years to look at links between the women's diet as they reported it in 1991 and their risk of breast cancer.
By the end of the study period 2830 women had been diagnosed with breast cancer. The women who reported the highest consumption of red meat about 1. 6 servings daily had a 22 percent higher risk of breast cancer compared with women who ate the least red meat
or about 0. 2 servings daily according to the findings published today (June 10) in the journal BMJ.
Each serving per day increase in red meat was associated with a 13 percent increase in risk of breast cancer the researchers wrote in their paper.
This increase is relatively small but because breast cancer is a relatively common cancer the absolute number of excess cases attributable to red meat intake would be substantial
and hence a public health concern they wrote. 6 Foods That May Affect Breast cancer Risk The results also showed that eating more poultry in early adulthood was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women.
The researchers estimated that replacing one daily serving of red meat with a serving of other protein-rich foods may reduce risk of breast cancer by 14 percent.
Red meat alternatives include legumes nuts poultry and fish. Previous studies have linked red meat to several cancers particularly colon cancer.
Although it's not clear how red meat may increase the risk of cancer researchers are investigating several possible mechanisms.
For example cooking meat at high temperatures can produce cancer-causing chemicals. Meat proteins may also promote tumors'growth by triggering growth hormones
which could explain the link. Studies have produced mixed results on the link between red meat and breast cancer.
However most previous studies focused on people's diets during midlife and later whereas it is possible that diet during early adulthood has greater effects on the development of breast cancer the researchers said.
In the study red meat included both unprocessed and processed meat products. Poultry included chicken and turkey and fish included tuna salmon mackerel and sardines.
The results held when the researchers accounted for other factors that could affect the risk of breast cancer such as age weight race family history of breast cancer history of benign breast disease smoking habits and oral contraceptive use.
The researchers examined whether the link between red meat and breast cancer risk would change when levels of other risk factors changed.
They found that only oral contraceptives seemed to further increase the risk associated with red meat. For each daily serving of red meat the risk of breast cancer was 54 percent higher among women who currently used oral contraceptives
and 11 percent higher in women who were former users of the contraceptives. The researchers detailed the findings today (June 10) in the journal BMJ.

#Gout: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Also called gouty arthritis gout is a painful form of arthritis caused by too much uric acid in the body.
The painful flare-ups may be concentrated in the big toe (a symptom known as podagra) as well as swelling and pain in the ankles knees feet wrists or elbows.
Left untreated gout can cause permanent damage to joints and kidneys according to the National institutes of health (NIH.
Gout is seen most commonly in men particularly those between the ages of 40 and 50.
Six million adults age 20 and older have reported being diagnosed with gout according to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin diseases (NIAMS.
Gout is the most common form of inflammatory arthritis. It is caused by an elevation of serum uric acid levels that cause crystals to accumulate in the joints
which bring on a gout flare Dr. N. Lawrence Edwards professor of medicine rheumatology and clinical immunology at the University of Florida and chairman and CEO of the Gout & Uric acid Education Society told Live Science.
Uric acid is created a waste product during the normal breakdown of purines naturally occurring substances found in foods such as liver mushrooms anchovies mackerel and dried beans according to the NIAMS.
This condition is known as hyperuricemia according to the NIH. The high concentration of uric acid in the blood will eventually convert the acid into urate crystals
Deposits of the needle-like urate crystals are responsible for the inflammation and the painful symptoms of gout.
There are several factors that can make a person more susceptible to gout according to the NIH.
According to the Mayo Clinic common symptoms of gout are: Gout and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) both cause bumpy painful joints but they couldn't be more different.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the body's immune system attacks itself causing damage to tissue
and organs while gout has nothing to do with the immune system. Unfortunately when chronic it can involve many joints making it difficult to distinguish from rheumatoid arthritis Dr. Nathan Wei a rheumatologist
and director of the Arthritis Treatment Center in Frederick Maryland told Live Science. Obviously if the patient has a high level of rheumatoid factor
and anti-CCP that helps. However a few patients may have concomitant RA and gout. Gout and pseudogout closely resemble each other
but they each have very different characteristics. The amount of pain suffered by a patient with pseudogout is usually less than is experienced by a gout patient Edwards said.
The main difference between gout and pseudogout are the types of crystals that deposit into the joints and cause inflammation.
Edwards went on to point out that monosodium urate (MSU) crystals cause gout while pseudogout is caused by calcium pyrophosphate crystals.
While gout has painful and distinctive symptoms during flare-ups its symptoms can be vague during other times.
A doctor may extract a sample of joint fluid so it can be examined under a microscope for any presence of urate crystals according to the NIAMS.
Certain joint infections can produce symptoms similar to gout. If an infection is suspected the doctor may check joint fluid for bacteria.
Blood tests can reveal the concentration of uric acid in the blood and further confirm the diagnosis
. However according to the Mayo Clinic blood tests can be misleading because some gout patients do not have an unusual level of uric acid in their blood
and some people with high levels of uric acid do not go on to develop gout. A patient s gout will not get better until they start taking uric-acid-lowering drugs.
Patients need to know that their serum uric acid level should be below the target of 6 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl.
While gout cannot be cured it can be managed better or even controlled completely with the right medications
and lifestyle choices Edwards said. In most cases long-term medications for lowering uric acid will be used to treat gout
and prevent flares gout. Generally patients with gout will need to be on these drugs for life.
If they stay on them over time their gout symptoms and risk of deformity or disability will be decreased greatly Edwards added.
The painful symptoms of gout can be alleviated by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) which can reduce both pain and inflammation around the joints according to the University of Maryland.
Depending on the severity of the flare-ups patients can be treated with over-the-counter NSAIDS such as ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve) or with prescription-strength painkillers such as indomethacin (available under the trade name Indocin.
Corticosteroids such as prednisone can be injected directly into the affected joints for relief within a few hours according to Mayo Clinic.
However despite their effectiveness corticosteroids must be used sparingly because they can weaken bones or poor wound healing.
Another pain reliever commonly used to reduce gout pain is colchicine. It is most effective when taken within the first 12 hours of symptoms according to NIAMS.
Once the flare-up subsides the doctor may prescribe low daily doses of colchicine to ward off future attacks.
Beyond medications patients can also control the frequency of flare-ups through exercise and diet adjustments.
