Digest: Chiropractic, Blood Pressure, Breast Cancer, Coffee, and Sunshine

More confusion for the cup o’ joe issue. Coffee May Protect Against Breast Cancer, Study Shows - “Depending on which variant of a certain gene a woman has, a coffee consumption rate of at least two-three cups a day can either reduce the total risk of developing breast cancer or delay the onset of cancer.”
Getting your head screwed on straight is beneficial. Chiropractic Cuts Blood Pressure - “Eight weeks after undergoing the procedure, 25 patients with early-stage high blood pressure had significantly lower blood pressure than 25 similar patients who underwent a sham chiropractic adjustment. Because patients can’t feel the technique, they were unable to tell which group they were in.”
A good reason to get out in the sunshine. High Blood Levels Of Vitamin D Protect Women From Breast Cancer, Study Suggests - “Women with a very low blood level of 25(OH)D have a considerably increased breast cancer risk. The effect was found to be strongest in women who were not taking hormones for relief of menopausal symptoms. …Foods that are particularly rich in vitamin D include seafish (cod liver oil), eggs and dairy products. However, the largest portion of vitamin D is produced by our own body with the aid of sunlight.”
