Rotten teeth caused by plaque (food scraps) that are not cleaned. Plaque that will be a gathering place for microorganisms (germs or bacteria) that emit acidic substances. Issued plaque acid, will eventually erode the soft layer on the teeth emails causing thinning the teeth.

Some factors that affect tooth thinning are micro-organisms, the substrate is carbohydrate (as sucrose). This substrate to produce acid which in turn will damage the teeth. Thinning the teeth is also affected teeth vulnerable.

All of these factors occur simultaneously, causing kekeroposan. The existence of thinning can lead to tooth cavities, the teeth become fragile, sensitive teeth, and tooth decay in a tooth made of black, could even lead to tooth loss or toothless. Thinning the teeth can also cause infections and if left standing, brittle teeth that can not be saved.

One way to avoid tooth is porous with brushing, to clean the plaque and use the right toothpaste. Then, to strengthen the vulnerable condition of the teeth that can be absorbed fluorideaktif teeth.

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

There are times when our bodies are not in tiptop condition, such as after durian party (and forgot to brush our teeth at night), we will certainly mouth smelled like really not pleasant in the morning. Although you and your husband had been married 10 years and each received their respective shortcomings, the smell of waking up would be very disturbing. The husband may not comment, but he suddenly turn off even if you look really tempting morning.

A thousand questions raced in his head:
What was eaten by my wife last night? Bad breath in the morning caused by the accumulation of microorganisms on the tongue, teeth, gums, and throat that are not cleaned. Microorganisms are invaded by bacteria that exist in proteins and release the waste product that smells. This process accelerated during our sleep, because there are no new saliva produced.

Why bad breath happens?
  1. Your saliva flow is so slow, even stop. This means there is no retaining bacteria, only a little oxygen that comes in, there was almost no movement of the tongue. All this became the signal for bacteria to start farming. During the night sleep, you produce two generations of new bacteria following their waste products called Volatile Sulfur Compounds.
  2. Mucus in the nose to thicken. When this happens, mucus can be attached firmly to the wall hard in the nose and released. Nasal mucus has a high protein content, and a source of delicious food for oral bacteria.
  3. Your tongue is almost bent in the back of the throat. This makes the rear surface of the tongue to explore with ease. That's why when you wake up in the morning, the smell of your mouth just could not rotten or sour, but also revealed a white or yellow coating on the tongue. Color layers depends on the level of spiciness and the amount of sulfur produced.
How to prevent bad breath in the morning?
  1. To be sure, you brush your teeth carefully. Try brushing your teeth once finished eating. After brushing your teeth, do not drink tea, coffee, or milk, because it will stick to your teeth.
  2. For smokers, drink a glass of water before smoking. Then rinse with water after smoking. If there are leftovers that are not lifted by a toothbrush, remove with dental floss.
  3. Brush your tongue with a tongue cleaner or a toothbrush to get rid of bacteria and keep breath fresh.
  4. Make sure you are eating enough at night, and drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration. An empty stomach also makes halitosis in the morning.
  5. Before bed, wash your mouth with mouthwash (of course following toothbrushing). It is important to reduce the number of bacteria in the mouth before going to bed. Anyone who has problems of dry mouth or nose problems need to pay attention to this. Use a nasal spray drug from the pharmacy to clear mucus.

Excess Soda Trigger Pancreatic Cancer

Tuesday, January 26, 2010


Impact health of soft
drinks again proved. A recent study showed excessive soda drinking increased the risk of pancreatic cancer nearly doubled.


Research carried out the Cancer Control Program at Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington DC, United States show for those who drank soda at least two times a week, 87 per cent more at risk of experiencing a fatal pancreatic cancer than those who rarely consume sodas.

"People who drink two times or more soft drinks per week had an increased risk of 87 percent or almost twice the risk of pancreatic cancer compared with individuals who do not consume soft drinks," said the study's lead author, Noel T Mueller MPH, a researcher at The Cancer Control Program at Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC, United States, as quoted by WebMD.

The study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a scientific journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. Soda companies reacted about this result. They stated that research directly disclose defects and other research that found that there was no link between soda consumption and pancreatic cancer.

In this study, Mueller and his colleagues conduct ongoing evaluation for 14 years on 60,524 men and women enrolled in the Singapore Chinese Health Study. The study began in 1993 when researchers noted what they eat and whether it will suffer from cancer.
The researchers asked the participants to tell him what he ate, including soft drinks and fruit juices. However, Mueller said, researchers did not ask specifically about their dietary consumption, but most of them drank regular soda.

In Singapore at that time, Mueller explained, looking very little intake of soda in the community. "We followed the participants for 14 years. And each time a different record the cancer, "he said. The result, researchers recorded 140 cases occurred pancreatic cancer and began to look back to see if anything to do with the consumption of soda or fruit juice.

The researchers divided consumption of soda and juice into three categories, ie not drink at all, less than two times per week and two times or more a week. In conclusion, those who drank soda two times or more in a week of five-year-old ratarata a 87 percent increased risk of pancreatic cancer.

However, it was found that there was no relationship between fruit juice consumption and the risk of pancreatic cancer. So why soda can relate? He admitted it needs to be studied further. "However, what we believe is the sugar in soft drinks can increase insulin levels in the body, which we consider to contribute to the growth of pancreatic cancer cells. Increased insulin may lead to cancer development, "said Mueller.

Even so, the researchers believe the risk of pancreatic cancer increases if other factors, such as advanced age, smoking, diabetes, and body mass index is associated with obesity. Pancreatic cancer risk increases as you age.

With this result, the soft drinks industry immediately launched a protest. "This study has many weaknesses in it," said Richard Adamson, PhD, scientific consultant of the American Beverage Association in Washington, DC, United States. For example, according to Adamson, his little case of pancreatic cancer experienced by participants. He showed the 140 cases, 110 of these people do not drink soda at all, while the other 12 people eat less than twice a week and another 18 two times or more servings a week.

"This means that only a small number of cases of pancreatic cancer compared with the population studied," he said. Other studies also, he added, did not find the relationship between soda and pancreatic cancer. The American Beverage Association points to a study in 2008 which found no such relationship. The study also only focused on the consumption of soft drinks, but did not see the overall dietary pattern. "You can be a healthy person and enjoy soft drinks without feeling anxious," Adamson added.

Susan Mayne, PhD, Director of Yale Cancer Center and professor of epidemiology at Yale School of Public Health, say, the results of the study is "interesting" because of small cases that found that does not prove direct causality. In fact, he included members of the editorial board of the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention. This study itself was funded the National Cancer Institute.

Colonel Laurence N MD, PhD, a researcher at the Cancer Research Center and professor of public health at the University of Hawaii, Honolulu, said although the new study has limitations, but these findings relate to previous research. He and rekanrekannya mention there is a relationship between added sugars in foods and the risk of pancreatic cancer. The results of this study was published in 2007. "In our study, found a positive relationship between high intake of fructose and pancreatic cancer," he said. "Since highfructose corn syrup is the main sweetener of non-diet soft drinks, our findings and the latest study is quite consistent," he said.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the 11 types of cancer most common in the UK. In the United States, according to the American Cancer Society, in 2009 about 42,000 people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and 35,240 of them died. This cancer claimed claimed 7700 lives every year.

The life expectancy of people with only 19 per cent per year. Of 100 people, patients who lived only 19 people. Meanwhile, who has a life expectancy over 5 years is only 4 percent. Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze and tenor Luciano Pavarotti is famous patient who died of pancreatic cancer.
