Turn to Tomatoes for Prostate Health
NBCSandiego.com
If you're concerned about your risk for prostate cancer, don't forget to ask for a tomato the next time you order a hamburger. Better yet, skip the burger and order the grilled vegetables with tofu. More and more research shows that antioxidants in vegetables, particularly tomatoes and broccoli, can lower prostate cancer risk, while foods from animals may increase risk.
While ongoing studies are still assessing the value of antioxidant supplements, food scientists say they are already comfortable advocating that men eat a more vegetable-based diet to lower their risk of prostate cancer, not to mention heart disease and colon cancer. Below, Dr. John Erdman, a professor of food science and human nutrition at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign, discusses how your diet, and your weight, can affect your prostate cancer risk.
Can nutrients in food lower risk of prostate cancer?
Both observational studies and clinical trials suggest that higher consumption of vitamin E and selenium reduces prostate cancer risk. Vitamin E is found in plant foods, including vegetables, vegetable oils and nuts, as well as egg yolks. Vitamin E is also in a lot of fortified breakfast cereals. Selenium is a metallic trace element that comes into plants from the soil, so it's in grains such as rice and wheat. You also get some selenium from animal foods, because the animals consume grain.
There is also quite a bit of observational evidence that tomato and broccoli consumption reduces risk of prostate cancer. In the tomato products, experts are focusing on nutrients called lycopene, which is responsible for the tomato’s red color. In broccoli, there are a number of sulfur compounds that are thought to detoxify carcinogens, substances capable of causing cancer.

Do Men Want Skinny Women?
Ask Men.com
-Austin Silver
It happened to the best of them: Teri Hatcher, Calista Flockhart , Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), and Lara Flynn Boyle. These women were thrust into the spotlight and ultimately became rail thin due to a fear of looking fat in front of the camera.
They say that the camera adds ten pounds -- well then I guess it's safe to say that when the camera goes off, these actresses can't be found anywhere on the set. Man, what is making these women so thin?
sleeping with a skeleton
I've asked hundreds upon hundreds of guys what kind of body type they like on a woman and although none of them were shouting out Rosie O'Donnell and Aretha Franklin's names, they weren't screaming for little Miss Ally McBeal either.
All men like breasts (hello Dolly!) and all men like buns; I think Jennifer Lopez proved that one hands down (or around, whatever you prefer). Needless to say, although big flabby bellies and cellulite didn't make the hit list, meat on a woman is thought to be attractive by virtually all men.
One particular guy, who I'll call Lars, made an interesting point: "I like fit women. Skinny? Anyone can be skinny, but how many women can claim that they're fit? There's nothing more unattractive than a thin woman with no muscle tone. If that's the case, I'd prefer a more voluptuous woman, milky if you will."
what do men like?
So what do all you guys want? Well, if men were all the same, that would be quite an easy question to answer. But alas, we're all different and so all men have differing desires when it comes to the abundance of women that come in all shapes and sizes.
Whereas some guys prefer petite women and all the tiny things that come with them, other guys admitted that they love bigger women simply because they seem "more comfortable with themselves." Come on, I've met plenty of women who could give Kiana Tom a run for her money and they were quite pleased with everything about themselves. Trust me.
But one thing that just about all these guys agreed on is that they don't like those lollipop-looking women. You know, those caricatures with big heads that stand out from the rest of the body. It just doesn't look healthy or attractive.
the bigger, the better
Although the mainstream media usually sexualizes the fit and thin, there are plenty of big boned women out there who are the object of many a man's adoration. Anna Nicole, Camryn Manheim and even Oprah are heavily adored by men worldwide. Does their size hinder them from being sexual? No. Is it possible that guys only adore them because they're loaded? Maybe.
But we have to come to terms with what's happening around us. The media might be throwing skinny women in our faces all the time, but we are the ones who perpetuate the problem by letting them.
Even Renee Zellweger is too fat.

Thick Male
Warriors of Virtue
By: Eddie Levy
In the midst of the world's philosophies, traditions
and enrichments commonly accepted by oblivious
minds, a few "Warriors of Virtue," stand daily to
exhibit the presence of "Divine Manhood."
Today in these times, even as I speak, males are put to the test to bring forth the abundance of lessons learned that has shaped their soul, rendering the reflections of the nature within.
Where dwellest thou?
Enter ye in at the straight gate,for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction;and many there be that go there at. Because straight is the gate , and narrow is the way that leadeth to life, and few there be that find it.Matt.7;13-14
The arena of every man's confrontations first began in the mind, where decisions are made unto accepted forms of understandings, socially peddled and cultivated by family,friends,and others allowed within the circle of regular attention. During those times of interactions, a selfish inclination arises conjured with arrogant, manipulative, extorting speech and behavior.
Such fearful ignorance purpose confines the weak-minded males to oppose themselves and betray the ones that truly love them. Consumed of youthful lusts, imprisoned behind the gates of the valley and shadows of death, hells prison rests in the mind. That one becomes a tooth less lion roaring where he knows not. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exhalteth itself against the knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. IICorinthians10:3-5
Finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:10-19
Ninety-five percent (95%) of all males are mentally incarcerated in devilish wisdoms of mind slavery. Their soul beset by comas of spiritual ignorance induced through religion, tradition and carnal education; all of which are self-inflicted compromises of excuses for hell's sake. Youthful lusts at the forefront of their self-love. Be not deceived; God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth, to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption: but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life ever lasting. Galatians6:7-8 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as I child; I thought as a child but when I became a man I put away my childish things. 1Corinthians 13:11.
Yes, my dear angles who know not that ye are angles, and my dear gods who know not that ye are gods, you are victor over all things sent against you by your adversary the devil. Behold, I give unto you power to tread over serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hunt you . Luke 10:19 Wherefore are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence add to your faith, virtue, and to virtue knowledge, and to knowledge temperance, and to temperance patience, and to patience godliness, and to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness and charity. For in these things be in you and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor un fruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind and cannot see afar off and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore rather, brethren give diligence to make your calling and election sure, for if ye do these things, ye shall never fail. 1Peter 1:3-10
