Red Meat

People who eat more red or processed meat have a higher risk of death from all causes including cancer, while a higher consumption of white meat reduces such risks, a decade-long US study released Monday found.
The joint study begun in 1995 by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and seniors group AARP followed more than half a million men and women between age 50 and 71, who filled out a food frequency questionnaire estimating their intake of red and processed meats as well as white meats such as pork, chicken and turkey.
Over the study period, 47,976 men and 23,276 women died. The one fifth of men and women who ate the most red meat -- a median of 62.5 grams per 1,000 calories per day -- had a higher mortality rate than the one fifth who consumed the least -- 9.8 grams per thousand calories, according to the report.A similar rate held true for consumers of processed meat.
Comparatively, the top fifth of white meat consumers had a slightly lower risk for death than those who ate the least white meat."For overall mortality, 11 percent of deaths in men and 16 percent of deaths in women could be prevented if people decreased their red meat consumption to the level of intake in the first quintile," wrote the authors led by Rashmi Sinha of NIH's National Cancer Institute."
The impact on cardiovascular disease mortality was an 11 percent decrease in men and a 21 percent decrease in women if the red meat consumption was decreased to the amount consumed by individuals in the first quintile."Cancer-causing compounds are know to form during high-temperature cooking of meat, the report stated, and meat is a major source of saturated fat, which has been linked to certain cancers.Lower meat consumption has been linked to reductions in risk factors for heart disease, including lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure."
These results complement the recommendations by the American Institute for Cancer Research and the World Cancer Research Fund to reduce red and processed meat intake to decrease cancer incidence," the authors wrote.

Singapore Poly Results Were Out Yesterday !!

Didn't do well and GPA is going down ! As expected, Maths 1B i got a D+. Two Reasons. Firstly, its myself to blame for having last minute study, didn't really listen and understand what the lecturer is saying. Second reason, i got a crappy lecturer that assume maths is easy for everyone.

Business Concept - My Business, My Views !

Currently doing some crazy things exactly the same concept as the above scenario. Nothing
much, but I do not agree with things like leaders following 100% from people. Thats simply not
leaders, but rather some workers following instructions.

I believe being a sucessful leader, is to have its own ideas, LISTEN but NOT FOLLOW people's
ideas. With the previous statement, I'm talking about learning from the best practices of
business.

Is the above model familiar? I'm not challenging against someone's system. However, I do agree
to an extend, but if doing business is being condemn by 1% of the population, there is no point.
What will the people in the HOT category thinks? Other than COLD, WARM & HOT, what do you think about the forth one? Explode? Irreversible? FYI, Irreversible means : Incapable of being reversed or turned about or back. I do not want that to happen. Friends I made, my relatives, I do not want to lose friends and being despised by relatives.. There is just too many flaws in the current system. Its simply not right for me.

P.S. I will get pissed off by people who think that they could brainwash me by "SPAMING". I won't make u feel bad, I will simply ignore it, because I treated you as a friend and respect that friendship. Don't spolit it. I already condemn a friend that of four years friendship with me.

Gang Robbers in JB strikes again (as usual)

Dear Friends,

Its just not safe to go in JB even just a meter away from the customs. My friends always ask me to go in, but i decline them. Its not that I'm a coward, but its really too dangerous to go in just to have a good meal or something. Totally not worth it. I rather spend more within the island to have an enjoyable and worry-free life. For my friends who like to go there, please be careful and always stay alert and know how to handle it in a safe way when encountered.
