Esai Morales

Here’s your chance to get an eco-friendly candle autographed by a vegetarian celebrity and help out a good cause.

Vegetarian Esai Morales and several other celebrities have autographed several flameless candles produced by Enjoy Lighting that are being auctioned off for charity.

Three candles containing autographs from well known Hollywood figures such as Jayde Nicole, Terell Owens and Chaz Bono will be available to bid on from now until Sunday, March 20th at Auctioncause.com and all proceeds benefit Stand Up 2 Cancer.

Ran on batteries and powered by LED light sources, flameless candles provide an excellent alternative to soot burning ones for both safety and environmental purposes.

With a genuine wax exterior, the candles provide the beauty of burning ones but will not produce soot that contains carcinogens like toluene and benzene.

Patrick Swayze Death: Can Diet Prevent Pancreas Cancer?

Patrick Swayze Remembered

The so called “summer of death” is getting sadder and sadder as we’ve lost another great celebrity, Patrick Swayze.

Swayze died from pancreatic cancer, but didn’t go without a good fight, even participating in the fundraiser, Stand Up 2 Cancer.

There’s no one way to prevent any disease, but some studies have linked meat fat to pancreatic cancer and a plant based diet to preventing it.

Here are some results from recent studies discussed at hattiesburgamerican.com:

  • According to a new study, fat from red meat and dairy products significantly increases the risk of pancreatic cancer.
  • Researchers analyzed the diets of more than 525,000 participants to determine whether there is an association between dietary fat and pancreatic cancer.
  • The study found no association between plant-food fat and pancreatic cancer.
  • Fruits, vegetables and other low-fat vegetarian foods could actually prevent pancreatic cancer, according to other studies.
  • One study found that consuming foods rich in flavonoids – apples, grapefruit, broccoli and berries – may decrease pancreatic cancer risk by up to 59 percent.

We hope research continues to advance one day discover how to prevent and cure this deadly disease.

Our thoughts go out to Patrick’s family and friends.
