More Evidence Against Vitamin Use
Two new studies add to the growing body of evidence that taking extra doses of vitamins can do more harm than good.
A study of vitamin E and selenium use among 35,000 men found that the vitamin users had a slightly higher risk of developing prostate cancer, according to a report published Tuesday in The Journal of the American Medical Association. A separate study of 38,000 women in Iowa found a higher risk of dying during a 19-year period among older women who used multivitamins and other supplements compared with women who did not, according to a new report in The Archives of Internal Medicine.
The findings are the latest in a series of disappointing research results showing that high doses of vitamins are not helpful in warding off disease.
“You go back 15 or 20 years, and there were thoughts that antioxidants of all sorts might be useful,” said Dr. Eric Klein, a Cleveland Clinic physician and national study coordinator for the prostate cancer and vitamin E study. “There really is not any compelling evidence that taking these dietary supplements above and beyond a normal dietary intake is helpful in any way, and this is evidence that it could be harmful.”
The Selenium and Vitamin E Cancer Prevention Trial, known as the Select trial, was studying whether selenium and vitamin E, either alone or in combination, could lower a man’s risk for prostate cancer. It was stopped early in 2008 after a review of the data showed no benefit, although there was a suggestion of increased risk of prostate cancer and diabetes that wasn’t statistically significant. The latest data, based on longer-term follow-up of the men in the trial, found that users of vitamin E had a 17 percent higher risk of prostate cancer compared with men who didn’t take the vitamin, a level that was statistically significant. There was no increased risk of diabetes.
The dose being studied in the Select trial was 200 micrograms of selenium and 400 international units of vitamin E. By comparison, most multivitamins contain about 50 micrograms of selenium and 30 to 200 international units of vitamin E.
Among the women in the Iowa study, about 63 percent used supplements at the start of the study, but that number had grown to 85 percent by 2004. Use of multivitamins, vitamin B6, folic acid, iron, magnesium, zinc and copper were all associated with increased risk of death. The findings translate to a 2.4 percent increase in absolute risk for multivitamin users, a 4 percent increase associated with vitamin B6, a 5.9 percent increase for folic acid, and increases of 3 to 4 percent in risk for those taking supplements of iron, folic acid, magnesium and zinc.
“Based on existing evidence, we see little justification for the general and widespread use of dietary supplements,” the authors wrote.
Everyone needs vitamins, which are essential nutrients that the body can’t produce on its own. But in the past few years, several high-quality studies have failed to show that high doses of vitamins, at least in pill form, help prevent chronic disease or prolong life.
A January 2009 editorial in The Journal of the National Cancer Institutenoted that most studies of vitamins had shown no cancer benefits, but some had shown unexpected harms. Two studies of beta carotene found higher lung cancer rates, and another study suggested a higher risk of precancerous polyps among users of folic acid compared with those in a placebo group.
In 2007, The Journal of the American Medical Association reviewed mortality rates in randomized trials of antioxidant supplements. In 47 trials involving 181,000 participants, the rate of dying was 5 percent higher among the antioxidant users. The main culprits were vitamin A, beta carotene and vitamin E; vitamin C and selenium seemed to have no meaningful effect.

Facebook says that some of your personal data belongs to them, not you
European laws allow people to demand that Facebook hand over everything it knows about them, and that the amount of data they know in one case amounted to 800 pages of personal data.
Now it turns out that there are gaps in what was provided. When pressed, Facebook flat-out claims that certain aspects of your personal data uploaded to or entered on Facebook is a trade secret or intellectual property of Facebook. You can't see your own information, because it's theirs.

Permanent Happiness!
"Every human being on the planet wants to be happy. Anything that anyone desires is because they think their desire will make them happy. Whether it is health, money, loving relationship, material things, accomplishments, a job, or anything at all, the desire for happiness is the bottom line of all of them. But remember that happiness is a state inside of us, and something on the outside can only bring fleeting happiness, because material things are impermanent.
Permanent happiness comes from you, choosing to be permanently happy. When you choose happiness then you attract all the happy things as well. The happy things are the icing on the cake, but the cake is happiness."

Sarah Palin porn and sex doll...
Some says Sarah Palin can end up in the White House. Poor naive people. The only house she might ever get in is the Penthouse - yes that magazine. Although she has to work for that hard. First step; have a sex doll copy:
"Her wide-open mouth doesn't spew political bipartisanism because she's just waiting for you to 'drill baby, drill.' Two other openings offer alternate ways to lay a pipeline in this Alaskan MILF."

Europe is NOT a country!
It's so funny when my American friends think and talk about Europe as a single country so I take the stand to make a friendly reminder here...
Europe has 48 countries and about half of them only part of the European Union. All those countries have different governments, different leaders, different laws, different language and many of them still have different currency as well.
European Union has nothing to do the concept of Soviet Union, United States or United Kingdom. When something happens in Europe you see or read in the news please notice the country and see that it's not about whole Europe and be able to make that distinction.
This might help:

I don't believe in God
I don't believe in God in a Christian way, that there is a male gender all mighty man-like creature sitting up in the sky, pre-written our fate in life, that is called "Divine Plan" and placed conditions in order to give us happiness, expecting us to worship and kiss ass to receive a forever and ever place in some made up thing, called Heaven. Or that a man 2000 years ago was tortured and killed for our sins to get us off the hook. In short, I am not a "Jesus-freak" or someone who thanks some made up creature (Jesus) for good things, and blames some made up creature (Satan) for bad things.
Instead I do believe that there is a power which is part of everything and everyone, still can be called God, or Universe, or Allah, whatever you feel closer, but it is definitely not a person-like creature. Definitely not with a gender. It's energy, around us, with us, within us and in everything without conditions, without limits.
I have been in USA many years now, have lived in many states, many cities, met many different people and have been in all kind of different situations. All that helped me learn and go on to the better. I like to think that I am better than I was ten years ago, a year ago, or yesterday. I like to think that I am learning something new every day and I can apply that to my life. Read many books to learn from so I can create my own opinion on things, instead of blindly following a sheep-bell or what "other people" think or decide.
By personal experience, Christians are NOTHING better and in most cases MUCH WORSE than Buddhists, Muslims, Witches, Druids or Atheists.
Things can change from one minute to another, nothing is constant, but I know this: whatever happened before in my life and whatever will happen next, the only one responsible for that, is me. Nothing and no one else to blame for it or thank for it.
"I care about people. I don't care about countries. I care about the future. I don't care about the past. I care about life on Earth. I don't care about living in the Sky."

10 million clicks for peace!
If you've ever wished you could do something about all the violence in the world but thought you were powerless, I just found something you've got to see.
Before you start thinking, "Oh yeah, another 'peacenik' site," let me tell you, this is VERY different. Notable people like Nobel Peace Prize winner, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Jack Canfield, founder of Chicken Soup for the Soul books, and many celebrities and sports legends are behind this project.
What's really neat about this is that they've made it fun and easy. Anyone can help with just a few clicks of their mouse. And it all makes sense. We don't need to wait for international negotiations. We can create peace ourselves--right now--using the power of the Internet.
They're giving away this tool, the "Personal Peace Impact Meter." It shows you the positive difference you're making, along with simple steps to create more peace.
The great thing about this meter is that it also shows all the positive effects of the people you tell, and the people they tell, and so on. Soon thousands of people will be taking positive steps towards greater world peace, all because of a few simple steps I took.
After seeing what's been happening with international politics, I'm really glad we can finally do something to help create a more positive future.
By the way, these guys also give you what's got to be the world's largest personal growth and success course (at no cost or obligation). World-famous speakers and best-selling authors are working with them to make global peace a reality. Their idea makes sense...
Teach people all over the world how to become more personally peaceful, happier, and more successful, and violence will simply disappear, because countries filled with happy, peaceful people simply don't start wars or participate in violence.
They figured all this stuff out and got so many people to help in just 11 months. Great use of the Internet!
