Professor Elyes Zhioua, director of the URI Tick Research Lab, found that deer ticks were abundant around five golf courses he surveyed in Rhode Island, and 50 to 75 percent of those ticks were infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. Lyme disease has been recorded in 47 states, with the regions of highest risk in the Northeast and the mid-Atlantic states. And most players' shots occasionally end up there. When an infected deer tick bites a human, it injects the bacterium that causes Lyme disease, which often results in a rash and flu-like symptoms. Our study suggests quercetin may be a potential non-hormonal approach to accomplishing that goal.
Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death in men in the United States.
It annually claims about 31,500 men, accounting for about 11 percent of male cancer-related deaths. Those who eat beans regularly have a 19 percent lower incidence of heart disease, according to the American Heart Association. When dining, choose bean soups, sprinkle beans on salads, or opt for a bean burrito when you must eat fast food.
