It seems one can easily treat breast cancer with the help of a substance, a University of Michigan study found a substance found in broccoli and broccoli sprouts killed cancer stem cells and prevented new tumors from growing in mice and human cell cultures in the lab.
Researchers believe getting rid of cancer cells could be the key to treating and preventing cancer, as currently chemotherapy does not work against stem cells, leading to the cancer spreading, making it necessary for women to get mammograms.
However, researchers at the University of North Carolina found screening mammograms to produced poor accuracy, with higher rates of women in their mid to late 30s requiring further testing, including actual cancer detection rates to be extremely low.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission is investigating complaints about a new version from diapers from Pampers, and that are thinner and advertised as having ‘dry max’ technology.
However, parents complain using those diapers on babies resulted in diapers with have bad diaper rashes that look like chemical burns.
Procter and Gamble says there no evidence the diapers cause harm.
