Active Compounds from Plants Promote Optimal Health
Active compounds from plants such as polyphenols and antioxidants played an important role at a cancer research conference held in the United States. Research that highlighted the clinical potential of these compounds was a featured topic.
Held from December 5th to the 8th, the American Association for Cancer Research held its Sixth Annual International Conference on Frontiers in Cancer Prevention Research in Philadelphia, PA.
For the conference, the role of these plant compounds was heavier on the therapeutic potential, but it nonetheless reflects the growing scientific clout that rests behind these nutraceuticals.
The compounds on which the research was presented included those from black raspberries, as well as antioxidants from other berries and green extracts.
Best Wishes for Ultimate Health and Majestic Dreams !!!!

Ways to Help Keep Your Computer Safe
Here are a few things you can do to help keep your computer safe and running smoothly.
Remember to keep your anti-virus software updated. It's not enough to have the software installed (if you don't have an anti-virus package, stop reading this right now and get one), you also need to keep up with new viruses as they emerge. Your anti-virus software is only as good as your latest virus definitions set. Programs like Symantec's Norton Anti-virus ($50) and Network Associates' McAfee VirusScan ($35 to $60) can automatically update their virus signature databases, but it costs an additional $20 to $35 for ongoing annual subscriptions.
Use care when opening attachments. You get a message you think is from a friend with what looks like a cool file attached, so you click on it. Next thing you know, you're Typhoid Mary, spewing out infected e-mails to everyone in your address book. That's how some worms are spread--and it happens so quickly that millions of copies get out before the anti-virus companies can update their databases! Never open an attachment without verifying it was sent by a trusted person, and that they meant to send it to you.
Avoid bogus file downloads. Be wary of any website that requires you to download software to view a page, unless it's something familiar like a Flash plug-in or Acrobat Reader. The file may contain a virus, a Trojan horse, or some auto-dialer that calls pay-per-minute numbers via your modem and racks up huge charges.
Do not be taken in by false claims. There are more hoaxers than hackers on the Internet, and more bogus "e-mail virus alerts" than actual viruses. Even real virus threats are typically blown out of proportion by the media. A phony warning could cause you to delete harmless files and then forward the message to others, clogging e-mail servers and causing virus-like damage in the process. When you get one of these e-mails (or see yet another breathless news story), check it out first. Type the name of the alleged virus into a search engine to see if any of the major security vendors have issued an alert, and visit the virus hoax pages at F-Secure and Hoaxbusters.
Keep your operating system patched. E-mail-borne worms and other scourges like to exploit security holes in your software. These days Microsoft issues so many critical updates to fix these flaws that many users ignore them. Don't ignore them! Last January, the Slammer worm exploited a vulnerability that Microsoft had fixed more than six months before. But thousands of infected computers didn't have the patch installed. Run the Windows Update program once a week and whenever Microsoft issues a warning.
Make backups and keep them safe. Simply put: Back up your data files at least weekly (daily if you're running a business). Even if you fall victim to a virus or hacker attack, you'll escape with only minor damage.
