		<description><![CDATA[Though some data over the years has suggested mild to moderate alcohol consumption might prevent some diseases, studies usually find survival advantage to those who do not consume alcohol at all. A new large study just published determined that alcohol consumption is strongly linked to cancer death. The authors based their hypothesis on several reports showing [...]]]></description>

One place where stress levels can be high of course is at work. There are some reports suggesting a direct link between stress and cancer, mediated it is believed though direct DNA damage and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The p53 tumor suppressor gene is of utmost importance in maintenance of cellular health and prevention of disease. It is well known to act to prevent cancer. Mutation of p53 is the most commonly found mutation in cancers. When p53 becomes activated it acts to cause the cell to become senescent, or unable to divide. Senescence is useful to prevent tumors from forming, [...]]]></description>

To extend healthy lifespan it is of utmost importance to be able to detect and eradicate cancer at its earliest stages.  Modern day surgery and chemotherapy, though typically used to combat cancer, remain a crude and non [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Similar to the naked mole rat, the blind mole rat is also fantastically interesting animal. It is extremely long lived, living 10 fold as long as typical rodents. Also the animal is unable to get cancer. These properties make the animal very important to study. In its natural environment lives in dark, dank, overcrowded subterraneous [...]]]></description>

Large controlled studies are rarely done and most retrospective analysis show little or no benefit, and sometimes harm. A new large retrospective cohort trial has just been published showing high dietary intake of antioxidants reduces the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Stem cells offer great promise as a tool to reverse or prevent the effects of aging.  As cells become defective and die, new ones are continuously generated through the division of stem cells.  There are tissue specific stem cells for all the organs of the body. The Hayflick limit imposes a fixed number of divisions [...]]]></description>

The authors knew that certain gene mutations are linked to the formation of AML, but that these special mutations (most common is called pml-raar a gene translocation) are [...]]]></description>
