Steak cooked 'Well Done' Trigger Prostate Cancer

Fans of beefsteak should be a little wary. Moreover, the majority of fans liked the beef steak cooked well done. In addition to savory taste delicious, steaks cooked well done once can lead to prostate cancer risk.

Want to medium rare, medium well or well done? This question surely we often hear when you order a beefsteak. Want to mature on the outside but tender and juicy inside, or even cooked at all. A recent study revealed that the consumption of well done steak may increase the risk of prostate cancer.

In the study revealed that men who ate two servings of hamburgers or meatloaf are allowed to mature 'well done' twice weekly potentially greater risk of prostate cancer. Than men who do not eat beef or other red meat cooked perfectly. Trigger factor lies in the maturity level of burned flesh.

Red meat, which was burned, contain carcinogenic substances that can increase the risk of prostate cancer. Carcinogenic substances is one of the substances that trigger the growth of cancer cells. Carcinogenic substances cause cancer by altering deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in body cells and interfere with biological processes.

When the meat was burned and even become charred, high temperatures cause the formation of two chemicals, namely heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). In experiments on animals, these chemicals proven to cause several types of cancers, including prostate cancer.

Not only the correlation between grilled meat and risk of prostate cancer, but also to consider how to cook the meat. Effect grilled or roasted on the fire directly resulted in more than 400 kinds of carcinogenic compounds, among which the most dangerous is benzopyrene.

We recommend that when burned meat (steak or burger or satai), remove the charred parts. Cook meat over low heat and do not be too often turned upside down. Also balance the consumption of meat with water, vegetables and fruits.

Dr.Qian-Xi Zhu and his team from the Shanghai Institute of Planned Parenthood Research discovered the phenomenon in Chinese male seminal fluid. More than 1,000 men aged 20-60 years to donate their sperm to analyze the amount of semen produced, the sperm count, movement, and whether the sperm is normal.

Compared with men aged 20-29 years, 35-year-old man has the ability to move lower. Though the movement of sperm is essential to the process of egg fertilization. Interestingly decreased ability of sperm movement that has begun since the age of 30 years and continues to decline each year.

"Motalitas or swimming ability of sperm decreases with age and it will make them difficult to impregnate," said Andrew Wyrobek, a specialist sperm from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who was not involved in this study.

The number of live sperm in semen is also less in the more mature men. For example, in men aged 20-29 years approximately 73 percent of sperm in the semen sample is alive, while only 65 percent live sperm in the semen of men aged 50-60 years.

After the age of 30 years, sperm counts have also reduced the normal physical. Compared with men aged 20 years, those aged over 50 years has only 16 percent of normal-looking sperm.

'Puss In Boots': No Ordinary Cats

In contrast to an avid Disney retelling fairy tales antiquity with boyish enthusiasm, Dreamworks Animation (with his debut 'Shrek') has a more wild side of humor. They are more daring to tamper with the famous tales, sometimes mixed up with each other, and produce something more fresh.

This time, Dreamworks Animation is proud to present 'Puss In Boots' which has long been touted for their latest masterpiece.

This story occurs before Puss (Antonio Banderas) to meet with allies, cronies in 'Shrek'. Puss is a cat wild, dangerous, lover of women and like other cats, milk lovers. He is also a fugitive being sought.

One day, an astonishing news reached the ears sounded Puss: rebel lovers, Jack (Billy Bob Thornton) and Jill (Amy Sedaris) has a magic bean. Magic bean that has been sought throughout his life Puss. Mainly because it reminded him of magic beans to his friend in childhood, Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis).

Puss was soon to move and find a way to steal the magic bean. In the middle of the road, he met with Kitty Softpaws (Salma Hayek) who interrupted his work. Big surprise, Kitty worked under the authority of Humpty Dumpty.

Puss meeting with Humpty Dumpty makes them come back nostalgic. And they, along with Kitty, decided to work together to get the magic beans and confront Jack and Jill together.

When 'Shrek' (2001) present in our midst, we were all surprised. His sense of humor is very fresh, very funny parody, his character is also fun. Not include a reference from a very cool pop culture such as bullet-time scene from 'The Matrix' (1999) that made people laugh until tears. The sequel, 'Shrek 2' (2004) not only funnier and more interesting than the first film, but also introduces new characters that are not easy to be forgotten, Puss In Boots.

After a long period of rumors Puss In Boots will be creating spin-off, the rumors finally came true. Puss In Boots is a character that is quite unique in the original fairy tale. In the hands of DreamWorks Animation, Puss In Boots become more jarring character, mainly because of Antonio Banderas. Latin blood, and resume his playing in 'The Mask of Zorro' (1998) have a big impact with the end result Puss In Boots character version of this reboot.

Antonio Banderas Puss turn the lives of so perfect that Puss looks so real and adorable. Other voice actors, such as Salma Hayek, Billy Bob Thornton, Amy Sedaris and Zach Galifianakis also doing a good job. Especially Salma Hayek whose voice is very seductive. Not only for Puss, but also for the audience.

Dreamworks Animation is also very outstanding. Almost all the images look magical and enchanting. On the musical side, Henry Jackman in collaboration with Rodrigo Y Gabriela gave the Latin aura sharpened fun atmosphere 'Puss In Boots'. Especially the scene and Kitty Puss first meeting ended with a war dance that is not only funny but also cool.

The only drawback 'Puss In Boots' is a sense of humor that is sometimes too sophisticated and mature making it somewhat less able to enjoy the kids. For example, the reference scenes involving the 'Fight Club' (for viewers who understand this joke will laugh out loud). But, in general, 'Puss In Boots' is a pleasant animated film.
