BEWARE: Date rape drugs available freely !!!

Date rape drugs, which include Rohypnol, Ketamine and GHB, have been used to spike people's drinks to incapacitate and render them vulnerable to sexual assault.

Mixed with the victims’ food or drink, the “date rape drug” can throw her into a haze, detached from all bodily sensations. It comes cheap at Rs 30 a gram and passes through the body quickly, making later detection difficult.

The police say the past two years have seen a spurt in seizures of ketamine, the drug most widely used by Indian rapists and known on the streets as Kid Rock, Ket Kat, Make-Her-Mine or, simply, K.

While gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), Ecstasy and Rohypnol too are considered date rape drugs — some of them sold under the names Easy Lay, Scoop Her, or Forget It — ketamine is “popular” because it is legal and cheap.

“People should avoid drinking with strangers, never leave their drink unattended, and have a trusted driver. Date rape drugs leave little evidence, that’s why there is no definitive record of how many women fall prey to them,” an officer said.

Rules for party
To protect yourself while at a party always make your own drink. If you are in a bar, never take your eyes off the bartender while he/she is making your drink. And last but not the least never leave your drink attended, even if you are with your best friend, and if you return, always discard it and make a fresh one (HT – 27 Jun 2015 - http://www.hindustantimes.com/health-and-fitness/not-just-marijuana-here-are-other-drugs-you-should-be-aware-of/story-UpFqCX84TgXfYwKzo9kWYP.html)

Can you evade breast cancer? Can men get it? Common myths associated with breast cancer!! Signs to watch out for!! Were do Indian women stand ? - from TOI

Can you evade breast cancer?

While some factors are beyond our control, Dr. Neelesh Reddy, Consultant Medical Oncologist, Columbia Asia Hospitals points out five healthy lifestyle habits that can help lower breast cancer risk.

Maintain a healthy weight: Overweight or obese women are at a higher risk of developing breast cancer than leaner women. This is because fat cells release substances including estrogen, which can stimulate cell growth and breast cancer. Regular exercise can also go a long way in improving your body's metabolism and controlling weight.

Give up red meat: Studies have found that the risk of developing breast cancer is more with the increasing amounts of red meat. According to statistics, for every additional daily serving of red meat, the risk of breast cancer increases by 13% and by 54% in women consuming oral contraceptive pills. Instead, one can opt for fish. The Omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients from fish help lower breast cancer risk.

Cut back on booze and avoid smoking: Avoiding alcohol is as important as losing weight. It has been proven that more alcohol you drink, greater you are at a risk of developing breast cancer. However, if you choose to drink alcohol — including beer, wine or liquor — try to limit yourself to no more than one - two drink/week. It has also been proven that smoking leads to increase in breast cancer. Also, since smoking is an important risk factor for cancer in general, it only makes sense to avoid it. Women who drink an average of 2 alcoholic beverages per day increase their breast cancer risk by 21%.

Limit dose and duration of hormone therapy: Combination hormone therapy for more than three to five years increases the risk of breast cancer. If you're taking hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms, ask your doctor about other options. You may be able to manage your symptoms with non-hormonal therapies, such as physical activity.

Eat healthy and include fibers in your diet: Whether it comes from fruits, veggies or whole grains, fiber is good for breast health. Embrace a diet high in vegetables and fruit and low in sugared drinks, refined carbohydrates and fatty foods. Eat lean protein such as fish or chicken breast and eat red meat in moderation, if at all. Eat whole grains. Choose vegetable oils over animal fats. Studies have found as much as a 5% reduction in breast cancer risk per every 10 grams of fiber added to a woman's diet per day.

Avoid delaying motherhood: Women who delay having their first child until later in life or who never have children are at a higher risk for breast cancer. In contrast, having children at a younger age and breastfeeding decrease the risk of developing breast cancer

Is your bra responsible for breast cancer?

According to the American Cancer Society, there is no evidence that compression of the lymph nodes by bras causes breast cancer. "In reality, body fluids travel up and into the underarm lymph nodes, not towards the underwire. It was believed by many that underwired bras cause compression of lymphnodes and increase chances of breast cancer. Similarly, there is no sufficient evidence that any type of bra cause breast cancer. If the lady is overweight with large breasts, then the weight is a cause which can increase her risk of breast cancer but not the underwired bra she is wearing. It would make sense that women with larger breasts are both more likely to wear underwire bras and more likely to develop breast cancer. But this doesn't mean that underwire bras cause breast cancer," opines Dr Anuradha Kapur, Lead consultant and Head of Unit, Max Super Specialty hospital, Saket.
