Thursday, July 3: Benefits of Broccoli
|
Researchers say just a few more servings each week of broccoli may protect men from prostate cancer.
They believe a chemical in the food sparks hundreds of genetic changes, activating some genes that fight cancer and switching off others that fuel tumors.
There's plenty of evidence linking a diet rich in fruits and vegetables to a reduced cancer risk, but this is the first piece of research to investigate how the foods actually fight the disease.

Adams Drugs has been family owned and operated since 1962. We have six central Alabama locations! (4 in Montgomery, 1 in Prattville, and 1 in Wetumpka). We offer city-wide delivery and charge accounts, but more importantly we offer prompt, friendly prescription service. Our goal is to “know” everyone we serve and do a better job providing care and service than our competitors. For example, we stopped selling tobacco products over 14 years ago despite the fact that tobacco revenues is the largest profit generator at most of your big chain pharmacies!
One of our latest Medical Breakthroughs is our new “closed door” pharmacy in East Montgomery that repacks RXs into bubble packs for nursing home and assisted living patients, as well as patients living at home with their children. Most people under special care are there because they can not manage their medications. So our new business is called “Adams Drugs Medicine on Time” which gives us the opportunity to serve these patients more effectively!

Wednesday, July 2: Harmful Sun Exposure, Even Without Sunburn
|
Scientists warn that even when you don't burn, the effects of the sun's ultraviolet exposure can still be harmful.
There are two types of ultraviolet rays to watch out for. UVB -- the rays which damage skin cells and UVA rays, which are traditionally thought to be safe rays.
Researchers analyzed sun-damaged cells and found that although UVB rays damage more of the skin, causing burns, UVA rays cause unseen skin damage.
Researchers say good sunscreen should protect against both.

Tuesday, July 1: "Good" Cholesterol Can Protect More Than Heart
|
The so-called "good" cholesterol may be doing more than helping to protect your heart.
A new British study found that middle-aged people with low levels of that form of cholesterol are at higher risk for memory decline that could foreshadow the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers hope the findings will lead to a new emphasis on diet to protect the brain.

Monday, June 30: New Way to Fight Cervical Cancer
|
The prescription drug Gardasil may soon be approved for use in boys. The medication was approved for adolescent girls in 2006. It protects against human papalloma virus, which can lead to cervical cancer in women.
A recent government study found 18% of adolescent girls have the virus. There are few studies about the virus in teenage boys, but it's estimated that half of all men have the virus at some point in their lives and can pass it on to females.

Friday, June 27: Help for Hearing Loss
|
|
The government spends about $1 billion a year helping soldiers who lose their hearing on the battlefield.
But a major breakthrough by doctors in Oklahoma could be music to soldiers' ears. They say they have uncovered the secret of preventing hearing loss from loud noises.
There is now a new drug to stop the cells within the ear from dying when loud noises cause trauma. Researchers tested it on some animals and hope to begin clinical trials on people within a year.
