Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...

prostate health
Tue, Mar 28, 2006

Certain family members of the Queerty editorial staff are undergoing surgery for prostate issues, and we send out our warmest get-well wishes. We're also boning up, so to speak, on all our prostate health information:

butt.jpegThe Good: Bioflavinoids found in green tea are thought to benefit prostate health, as are zinc-rich foods, like onions, peas, oysters and pumpkin seeds (who knew?). Zinc is stored in the prostate and is necessary for proper function. Zinc supplements should be avoided, as it can accumulate in the prostate to unhealthy levels; some research says it can even cause prostate cancer, but that's still up in the air.

The Bad: Men with prostate problems should avoid pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), which can prevent muscles in the prostate and bladder neck from relaxing to allow urine to flow freely. Antihistamines, such as diphenhydramine (Benadryl), can also slow urine flow as well. Other allergy medicines, such as Allegra, should be substituted.

Men who eat red meat on a daily basis are 250% more likely to develop prostate cancer, the #2 cause of cancer deaths in men, than those who only eat it once a week. Grilled meat is thought to be the worst, as the charring of the meat creates carcinogens. Gross.

The Really Fun: Massaging your prostate and ejaculating often help keep the prostate free-flowing and in good shape. We're going to leave that one up to your imagination.

Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer in men, so we're always on the lookout for ways to keep our prostate glands healthy and happy--and new reports point to even stronger benefits of eating a diet rich Omega-3 fatty acids.

houseboy_05.jpegYes, we've heard the "Omega fatty acid" story before; but this report is significant because it measures the effects from eating actual food, as opposed to popping supplements. People taking Omega-3 and Omega-6 supplements can often have too much of a good thing, and create more problems than those that they're trying to prevent: for instance, excess Omega-6 supplements can cause existing cancers to spread to other parts of the body. And that's when prostate cancer becomes deadly. Not good.

But the Omega-3s and Omega-6s present in food, like salmon, tuna or mackrel, are already at the correct balance. Omega-3s are also good for the heart and brain, and it makes your skin look fantastic.

The general guidelines for proper nutrition suggest eating fatty fish once each week. Fret not about the calories and fat content, it's good fat.
