Can Anti-Perspirants Really Cause Breast Cancer?
This is perhaps, the oldest and most widely circulated hoaxes in the internet. According to the email messages going around the net, the use of anti-perspirants could lead to breast cancer by preventing the lymph system from purging the toxins through sweating. The email says that these toxins do not “just magically” disappear and instead deposit themselves in the lymph nodes below the arms. This causes a high concentration of toxins to remain in the body, and that leads to cell mutations: a.k.a. cancer.
Chew This Flavor of Gum to Reduce Nicotine Cravings
Kicking the smoking habit is a challenge for many people – but one that’s well worth the effort. After only five years away from cigarettes, a smoker’s lung cancer risk drops by half. Quitting smoking also reduces the risk of other diseases including heart disease, cancer of the oral cavity, cancer of the bladder or kidney, pancreatic cancer, and stroke.
One unpleasant side effect of smoking cessation that most smokers have to contend with is nicotine withdrawal. Could flavored chewing gum help with this problem? A new study shows that chewing gum not only helps nicotine withdrawal symptoms, but certain chewing gum flavors work better than others.

Why Am I Always Tired?
Caloric intake is really important when you are going to do any activity that is exerting. On Saturday mornings, I usually wake up early to accomplish at least one item from my home to do list. In an effort to get as much as I can accomplished, I frequently forget, or purposefully ignore, having breakfast.

Heavy lifting requires many more calories than just pushing a lawn mower.
