New Studies have come up with a possible new tool in the
fight against ovarian cancer and new information on diabetes
II and its affects on men.
The Ovarian Cancer, also called as 'The Silent Killer,' is
usually not identified by the women until their cancer has
spread.
A new blood test detects four different proteins in the blood
present in the beginning stages of ovarian cancer. Tests of
more than 200 women found that if two or more of these proteins
were in the blood at certain levels, a tumor was present.
According to the Researchers, so far, it has shown 95 percent
accuracy and is being refined before it's available to the
public.
This test seems to have fewer false positive results than
currently-used ovarian cancer blood screenings.
As National Institutes of Health figures it out, more than
16 million Americans have Type II diabetes.
A report from the Archives of Internal Medicine has observed
that the risk of diabetes could be lowered through incorporating
a low-fat dairy diet.
This study looked at more than 40,000 men over 12 years and
found that each additional serving of low-fat dairy per day
dropped the risk by 9 per cent.
Researchers found ingredients in low-fat dairy items such
as milk, yogurt -- even low-fat cheese and ice cream -- may
help the body process sugar more effectively.
