Should we be concerned? Well if you consider that 94 percent of all soy grown in Canada and the United States is brand named "<strong>Round-Up Ready Soybeans</strong>" the answer would be yes. Many of us are familiar with Round-Up we have used it to kill weeds. "<strong>Round-Up Ready Soybeans</strong>" is a trademark owned by the <strong>Monsanto</strong> Corporation. These are soybeans that have bean genetically modified to allow applications of the herbicide <strong>Round-up</strong> to be applied while they are growing. "<strong>Round-Up</strong>" is also a trademark owned by the <strong>Monsanto</strong> Corporation. Here is a quick synopsis of Round-Up from the organization <strong>GMO Inside</strong>:<br />
<br />
"Monsanto invented the herbicide glyphosate and brought it to market under the trade name Roundup in 1974, after DDT was banned. But it wasn’t until the late 1990s that the use of Roundup surged, thanks to Monsanto’s ingenious marketing strategy. The strategy? Genetically engineer seeds to grow food crops that could tolerate high doses of Roundup. With the introduction of these new GE seeds, farmers could now easily control weeds on their corn, soy, cotton, canola, sugar beets and alfalfa crops—crops that thrived while the weeds around them were wiped out by Roundup. <a data-mce-href="http://gmoinside.org/15-health-problems-linked-to-monsantos-roundup-ecowatch/" href="http://gmoinside.org/15-health-problems-linked-to-monsantos-roundup-ecowatch/" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank">http://gmoinside.org/<wbr></wbr>15-health-problems-linked-t<wbr></wbr>o-monsantos-roundup-ecowat<wbr></wbr>ch/</a> <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" data-mce-href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/stopmonsanto" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/stopmonsanto">#stopmonsanto</a> <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" data-mce-href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/food" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/food">#food</a> <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" data-mce-href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/ag" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/ag">#ag</a> <a class="_58cn" data-ft="{"tn":"*N","type":104}" data-mce-href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/gmos" href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/gmos">#GMOs</a>"<br />
<br />
The decision to consume soy rests with each of us as individuals. Consider this image which was recently published.<br />

That free trial that is promised is not free and you will likely see your credit card billed monthly. Celebrities and sports figures are not the reason you should buy any health related product.

<div itemprop="articleBody">
Truthfully there is only one Best Prostate ® Formula on the internet. Best Prostate ®, IMS Supplements, Inc. recommends consumers take care in researching prostate supplement products online. Consumers, who have searched the internet, find it confusing with alleged comparisons and about thirty or more prostate products to address the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. </div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Don't be fooled by ratings and recommendations. Almost every one of these websites falsely rates and recommends one product over another based upon third party compensation. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires these websites post a disclosure or disclaimer. It is important to look at these statements as they inform consumers that these websites have not necessarily tried or tested any of the products listed. These websites and their owners actually benefit from the sale of certain products on the website.</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
</div>
<div itemprop="articleBody">
Another problem is websites that state information provided is from a prestigious sounding research institute. When in fact the, so called, institute doesn't exist. A legitimate research institute would in fact be accredited and the consumer would be able to find that information by doing a search on the name of the research institute. </div>

The best way to protect your self is to shop on websites that make sense.

Consumers should look for a product that contains ingredients that have been shown in the clinical studies to work. These studies should be identified on the website. Beware products that take the shotgun approach and contain a laundry list of ingredients. This fact is true the ingredient beta-sitosterol, found in the Best Prostate ® Formula, has been used throughout the European Union for over 3 decades for the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. The best prostate formula is and should be manufactured in the <span class="xn-location" itemprop="contentLocation" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Place"><span itemprop="geo" itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/address"><span itemprop="addressLocality">USA</span></span></span> in an FDA audited, GMP certified manufacturing facility. </div>

<div itemprop="articleBody">
Beware websites offering a free trial or "freebie" typically these manufacturers have hundreds of complaints filed against them with the Better Business Bureau. Often what is thought to be free is a way to trap consumers into an automatic credit card billing and shipping scheme. </div>

<br />
1. <b>Saw Palmetto or Beta-sitosterol?</b><br />
<br />
Answer: Beta-sitosterol - Why? Because beta-sitosterol has been studied in double-blind placebo controlled clinical studies in peer-reviewed medical publications like <u>Lancet</u>, <u>British Journal of Urology,</u> and the <a href="http://summaries.cochrane.org/CD001043/herbal-medicines-containing-beta-sitosterols-may-help-to-relieve-the-urinary-symptoms-and-urinary-flow-problems-caused-by-an-enlarged-prostate-gland-benign-prostatic-hyperplasia" target="_blank">Cochrane Reviews Database</a>. Information regarding "Beta-sitosterol in BPH" can be found at the National Institutes of Heath website <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10796740" target="_blank">www.nih.gov</a>. In addition clinical data regarding Saw Palmetto has shown that it is no more effective than a placebo in the <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Sex/story?id=1594762&page=1" target="_blank">New England Journal of Medicine</a>.<br />
<br />
2. <b>Is beta-sitosterol all the same from one product to another?</b><br />
<br />
Answer: Not at all. Most prostate formulas use a plant sterol mix and generally they label it as so. Other products use actual beta-sitosterol in a concentrated form that exceeds the 50-55% commonly found in a plant or phyto-sterol complex or mixture. <br />
<br />
Most manufacturers use beta-sitosterol from soy as it is common and allows for a increased profit margin. Soy in North America is 93% Monsanto "Round-Up Ready Soybeans" or genetically modified to allow for the spraying of the pesticide "Round-Up". Round-Up<span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">® </span>is familiar to most men as it is known as a common pesticide purchased at large chain home improvement stores or small independent hardware stores. <br />
<br />
In addition soybeans are high in phyto-estrogen. Estrogen is a female hormone and studies have shown that in the male body testosterone levels are reduced. Which can lead to erectile dysfunction and a loss of sex drive.<br />
<br />
A few manufacturers claim that they use sugar cane. However no wholesale source of sugar cane derived beta-sitosterol is available that is sourced in the United States or Canada. Sources are #1 Brazil, #2 India, #3 China. <br />
<br />
Then there is non-GMO, non-Soy beta-sitosterol <span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://www.bestprostate.com/" target="_blank">Best Prostate ®</a> </span>sourced from pine.<br />
<br />
3. <b>But many prostate formulas have so many other ingredients like: Stinging Nettles, Pumpkin Seed extract , and/or saw palmetto are these important?</b><br />
<br />
Beta-sitosterol is the miraculous common denominator in all of these other ingredients. If a more pure form of beta-sitosterol was used in manufacturing instead of a phytosterol complex these other ingredients would not be necessary that is why I refer to them as unproven fillers. For literally 3 to 4 decades (30 to 40 years) it is beta-sitosterol that physicians in Europe have relied upon for the symptoms of an enlarged prostate and not the other ingredients. The shotgun approach appears impressive but why not just rely on the ingredients that have been studied and published in multiple peer-reviewed medical journals.<br />
<br />
<br />
Is lycopene important for my prostate? <br />
<br />
The Mayo Clinic feels that at this point the data is not sufficient to make this claim. See the link: <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/lycopene/NS_patient-lycopene/DSECTION=evidence" target="_blank">Mayo Clinic.</a><br />
<br />
It is our intention to make this simple and understandable as it should be. Don't be misled by false claims and hype or a high price.<br />

The goal is to educate men and their families about the importance of talking to their doctor about prostate cancer screening and early detection.
Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among American men. Educate yourself about prostate cancer, its risk factors, and the importance of talking to your doctor about screening, early detection and treatment. Be on the lookout for free prostate screening exams, educational forums, and other events in your local community during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

Equally common is waking multiple times in the night to urinate. Often men feel run down and they may or may not have reduced sexual desire or even impotence. An understanding of testosterone and your prostate is both important and can help you when you communicate with your health care provider.<br /><br />Generally when you see your physician and complain of feeling decreased sex drive in addition to feeling no energy the first thing physicians turn to is a simple blood test to check testosterone levels.<br /><br />Throughout a man's life his body produces testosterone. As a man ages, the amount of circulating testosterone begins to decline steadily after the age of forty. The decrease is relatively small and occurs at a rate of 1% or 2% per year. Virtually all men experience a decline in testosterone. There are a small percentage of men that have testosterone levels below what is considered normal for their age. Low testosterone is defined by the medical community as less than 300 nanograms per deciliter of blood. Only one-half to two-thirds of all men with low testosterone report symptoms. The symptoms include low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, mood problems, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Generally the decline of testosterone in men occurs over years and the symptoms often go unnoticed. Some men may experience symptoms and yet not recognize the decline in their sex drive due to the fact that they still have a sex drive. The symptoms of low testosterone can significantly impair a man's quality of life.<br /><br />Many in the medical community believe that low testosterone should be treated and it is becoming common for medical professionals to prescribe: a testosterone gel that is applied to the skin on a daily basis; a testosterone patch that is applied to the skin and worn throughout the day; oral testosterone tablets; or testosterone injections. There is some controversy to long-term testosterone supplementation in that when testosterone is supplemented the body will actually recognize all this testosterone and normal testosterone production by the testis will actually decrease or cease and the individual may experience testicle shrinkage. Infertility physicians commonly address decreased testosterone levels with an injectable hormone known as hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). hCG is not anabolic or androgenic however in men hCG increases the testosterone production in the testes very quickly and reliably. It may be beneficial to discuss intermittent testosterone supplementation with periodic hCG treatments with your physician to ensure that your normal testosterone production is not destroyed.<br /><br />Uniquely many men do produce adequate levels of testosterone however a significant number of men may have reduced testosterone due to the increased activity of the natural enzyme 5α-reductace. When testosterone is subjected to the enzyme 5α-reductase it is converted into DHT (dihydrotestosterone). In adult males DHT acts as the primary androgen in the prostate and hair follicles. [1] In men DHT is the primary contributing factor in male pattern baldness.[2] In addition DHT plays a role in the development and exacerbation of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), as well as prostate cancer, by enlarging the prostate gland.[3] Prostate growth or enlargement is dependent on the level of DHT.[4]<br /><br />The actual cause of BPH is debated by the medical community. One school of thought believes that as men age and testosterone levels decline there is an increased amount of estrogen in the blood. All men produce small amounts of estrogen (female hormone) in addition to testosterone. Studies performed in animals suggest that this increased amount of estrogen within the prostate gland may increase the activity of substances that promote cell growth.[5] If this is true then men who consume additional sources of estrogen may wish to take note. Since the early 1960s soybean, which are high in estrogen, have become increasingly common as a human food source. Research shows that prior to the 21st Century soy was rarely if ever used in the production of food for human consumption. Even in the Asian culture soy usage was limited to times of extreme food shortages. When it was used Asians carefully prepared the soy by using a long fermentation process (6 to 9 months) to remove soy toxins. In 1998 soy consumption by Asians was validated and it was found that Asian men consumed 8.00 ± 4.95 g of soy/day and that Asian women consumed 6.88 ± 4.06 g of soy/day.[6] The soy products consumed were tofu (plain, fried, deep-fried, or dried), miso, fermented soybeans, soy milk, and boiled soybeans. Soy consumption today in English speaking countries is approaching 220 G of soy/day which far exceeds what Asians typically consume. Clinical research has shown that soy decreases testosterone levels. In one study a 76% reduction in testosterone production in men was documented.[7] Another study by Nagata C, et al. "Inverse association of soy product intake with serum androgen and estrogen concentrations in Japanese men." Nutr Cancer 2000; 36(1):14-8. This study in Japanese men showed that increased soy intake was related to decreased testosterone levels. An additional study in healthy adult males compared a diet containing soy to one using meat as a source of protein. Testosterone levels were significantly lower in the group with a soy diet. In addition the amount of "free" testosterone was reduced by 7% in the soy diet group. [8]<br /><br />The other school of thought focuses on dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Most animals lose their ability to produce DHT as they age. Unfortunately this is not true in human beings. Research shows that even with a drop in the blood's testosterone level, older men continue to produce and accumulate high levels of DHT in the prostate. Accumulation of DHT may encourage prostate enlargement. Scientists have also noted that men who do not produce DHT do not develop BPH.<br /><br />It is very important to tell your doctor about urinary problems. In eight out of 10 cases, these common symptoms (a hesitant, interrupted, weak stream, urgency and leaking or dribbling, more frequent urination, especially at night) suggest BPH, but they also can signal other, more serious conditions that require prompt treatment. These conditions, including prostate cancer, can be ruled out only by a doctor's examination.<br /><br />Pharmacologic treatment of BPH is the most common. The FDA has approved six prescription medications to relieve the common symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate. These prescription medications are not natural and they are either semi-synthetic or synthetic in origin. All of these prescription medications have side effects associated with them. Recently in June 2011, the FDA issued a warning to physicians regarding prescription medications classified as 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs). Per the FDA, "drugs in the 5-ARI class are finasteride and dutasteride. These drugs are marketed under the brand-names Proscar, Propecia, Avodart, and Jalyn." The FDA's review of two large clinical trials: "The Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial "(PCPT) and "Reduction by Dutasteride of Prostate Cancer Events" (REDUCE) trial. Both trials showed an increased incidence of high-grade prostate cancer with finasteride and dutasteride treatment.<br /><br />Outside North America, physicians and health care professionals rely more heavily on natural products, known in the U.S. as dietary supplements. Worldwide plant sterols or beta-sitosterol have been relied upon for the relief the symptoms of an enlarged prostate for decades. The efficacy of beta-sitosterol has been published in British Journal of Urology, The Lancet, and in the Cochrane Reviews. In the United States and Canada tens of thousands of men have discovered that the natural ingredient beta-sitosterol can actually address these symptoms without the side effects of prescription medications. For years the medical community recommended saw palmetto to address the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. However, in 2006 a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated that taking saw palmetto for an enlarged prostate was no more effective than a placebo.<br /><br />Is all beta-sitosterol equal? Well the most prevalent beta-sitosterol found in most Prostate Supplements is derived from soy. Soy (estrogen) does not make sense for use in a male prostate supplement. In addition 93% of all soy in North America is GMO. There is a non-soy beta-sitosterol prostate formula made by IMS (It Make's Sense) Supplements, Inc. The product Best Prostate uses a vegetable capsule with 310 mg of Non-soy, Non-GMO Beta-sitosterol (from Pine). In addition there is 15 mg of Zinc (as citrate), and 15 mcg of Selenium (as selenium chelate).

Five years ago my physician performed a simple blood test. Upon return of the results he informed me that I had the testosterone level of a field mouse. He was concerned so he prescribed testosterone which initially involved an injection of testosterone in his office. I left the office and I noticed a surge in my energy level in addition to a return in my sex drive. This lasted for about one week. In addition I experienced an increased level of aggression. I was told to return in a month and I explained the results to my doctor. He then said that he would use less testosterone and give me injections more frequently. I was given another injection and told to return in two weeks. Once again I experienced a surge in my sex drive and energy level though the duration of this did not last as long. Unfortunately I also experienced an increased amount of agression. I returned to my physician and he said that he would reduce the dosage and increase the frequency to weekly injections. This change did offer some benefit however it was short-lived due to the fact that my PPO insurance plan said that they would not cover weekly visits and injections at my physicians office. I was then prescribed a presciption gel to rub on my body every day. This went on for several months and the gel was everywhere including on my hands, on my clothes, and god forbid if I was allowed to come into contact with other people as they could possibly absorb some of this testosterone.
<br />
<br />The icing on the cake was when I learned that using all of this exogeneous testosterone actually leads to a decrease or a shut down of natural testosterone production within the body. Concerned as I was I decided that the benefits of all this testosterone supplementation had drawbacks and was not the answer for me.
<br />
<br />This is where the SOY comes in. Research shows that prior to the 21st Century soy was rarely if ever used in the production of food for human consumption. Even in the Asian culture soy usage was limited to times of extreme food shortages. When it was used Asians carefully prepared the soy by using a <em>long fermentation process </em>(6 to 9months) to remove soy toxins. In 1998 soy consumption by Asians was validated and it was found that Asian men consumed 8.00 ± 4.95 g of soy/day and that Asian women consumed 6.88 ± 4.06 g of soy/day (Nagata C, Takatsuka N, Kurisu Y, Shimizu H; J Nutr 1998, 128:209-13). The soy products consumed were tofu (plain, fried, deep-fried, or dried), miso, <em>fermented soybeans</em>, soy milk, and boiled soybeans. Soy consumption today in English speaking countries is approaching 220 G of soy/day which far exceeds what Asians typically consume. How did this happen and why be concerned? Well soy use in food production is now in almost everything so it seems. In addition clinical research has shown that soy decreases testosterone levels. In one study a 76% reduction in testosterone production in men was documented (Zhong, et al. "Effects of dietary supplement of soy protein isolate and low fat diet on prostate cancer." FASEB J 2000;14(4):a531.11). Another study by Nagata C, et al. "Inverse association of soy product intake with serum androgen and estrogen concentrations in Japanese men." Nutr Cancer 2000;36(1):14-8. This study in Japanese men showed that increased soy intake was related to decreased testosterone levels. An additional study in healthy adult males compared a diet containing soy to one using meat as a source of protein. Testosterone levels were significantly lower in the group with a soy diet. In addition the amount of "free" testosterone was reduced by 7% in the soy diet group (Habito RC, et al. "Effects of replacing meat with soyabean in the diet on sex hormone concentrations in healthy adult males." Br J Nutr 2000 Oct;84(4):557-63). No wonder unfermented soy is reserved for cheating spouses in the Asian culture. A visit to a food market in Tokyo you will not find shoppers loading up on soy milk, soy cheese, soy yogurt, soy burgers, soy chicken, soy chips, and or soy lasagna. I wonder why?
<br />
<br />Testosterone levels and prostate enlargement. Well it is known that men produce both testosterone, an important male hormone, and small amounts of estrogen, a female hormone. When men age, the amount of active testosterone in the blood decreases, leaving a higher proportion of estrogen. Studies done on animals have suggested that prostate enlargement may occur because of the higher amount of estrogen within the gland actually increase the activity of substances that promote cell growth. Another theory from scientists suggest that dihydrotestosterone (DHT), derived from testosterone in the prostate, may help control prostate enlargement. Some research has indicated that even with a decrease in the blood's testosterone level, older men continue to produce and accumulate high levels of DHT in the prostate. This increased DHT may encourage the growth of prostate cells. This is important as scientists have also noted that men who do not produce DHT do not develop an enlarged prostate. DHT is a biologically active metabolite of the hormone testosterone. DHT is produced primarily in the prostate gland, testes, hair follicles, and adrenal glands.
<br />
<br />In light of the above I started to look at my consumption of soy. Wow it's in everything these days. Cereal, salad dressing, non-dairy creamer, pancake mix, and even some breads. Shopping at local health food markets will not save you either. Somewhere these markets have no issue with soy. Despite the fact that 91 percent of soy grown in the US is genetically modified (GM) many health food markets actually ignore this ingredient when they offer it for sale on the shelves. I actually believed that so called "health food markets" did not allow GMO or genetically modified ingredients. This is obviously not the case. One store (un-named) carried eight prostate supplements all with soy as an ingredient. Obviously these prostate supplements were for men. And the chance that the soy used in manufacturing was or is actually fermented for 6 to 9 months is extremely remote.
<br />
<br />Ironically and subsequently I have continued to have blood work performed by my physician and for some reason my testosterone levels are no longer on the radar screen or even mentioned in the results. He knows that I am not on testosterone prescriptions or he would be authorizing refills with my pharmacy. What are the changes - hmmmm well I have been making a real effort to reduce soy consumption. It's important for me to tell you that this article in no way suggests that it is authoritative and/or that it is giving or providing any type of medical advise. As always it is best to consult your medical or health care provider. However I do encourage you to research the facts about prostate health, soy, and testosterone. The following reference provides some information about soy in the USA from 1766-1900 <a href="http://www.soyinfocenter.com/HSS/usa.php"></a>. It seems that 1979 was the first introduction of soymilk into the United States reference <a href="http://www.soyfoods.org/soy-information/history-of-soy-products"></a>. At present it is now estimated that 583,000 tons of soy is used each year for human consumption. Soy food sales have increased from $300 million to over $4 billion from 1992 to 2006. The goal is obvious and that is for food processors to use soy to produce more while spending less. Soy use offers benefits including extending shelf-life, reducing crumbling, whitening breads and browning pancakes, and has the added benefit of bringing down production costs. I often wonder if we will see a law firm advertisement in the future that is similar to all these prescription medication cases that are now known to have caused this or that years and years later. It really is up to you the consumer to determine your comfort with this wonder ingredient. It is also up to you the consumer to discern the related concerns to genetically modified ingredients in your diet. Food for thought?

Simple searches on the name of the organization, Better Business Bureau, and Dunn & Bradstreet webisites clearly shows that these so called expert agencies are nothing more that a false front to get the consumer to purchased their alleged highly rated product.

We are aware that some companies find it necessary to market their prostate supplement by confusing the consumer with false claims of fraud and scam alerts. Not very professional nor ethical. This addresses the labelling of our product Best Prostate and the rational of why the label was changed.<br />
<br />
You may notice that along time ago we changed our % daily value of Selenium from DRI (Dietary Reference Intakes), established by the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine, 1997-2001, which replace previous RDAs, to RDI (Reference Daily Intake), which is the value established by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The RDI was based initially on the highest 1968 Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for each nutrient, to assure that needs were met for all age groups. The % daily value was changed from 50% to 21.4% The 15 mcg Selenium content in Best Prostate has not changed in any way. <br />

Initially we produced Best Prostate™ with the soybean based Vegapure®. When we discovered that US-sourced beta-sitosterol was pre-dominantly genetically modified (GMO) we ceased production and transitioned to Vegapure® FTE (non-GMO) however still soybean based. Our competitors claim that we have never procured or used the Vegapure® FTE product line from Cognis. This allegation is a lie and untrue. Cognis actually contacted our competitor with a Cease and Desist letter dated November 5, 2009 due to flagrant violation of their trademark(s) and claims. We learned that the Vegapure® FTE had to be imported from Germany due to the fact that most soybean products produced in the US were genetically modified. Despite this fact we felt that the benefit of a non-GMO product was in our customers best interest and we imported this product. Recognizing that men preferred a non-soy based product we again improved Best Prostate™ by transitioning to Vegapure® 867 G (non-GMO) derived from Pine trees. Despite increased raw material and production costs with each transition we have not passed these costs onto our customers. The decision rests with you the consumer a soy-based beta-sitosterol that is genetically modified or Best Prostate™.Jerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01457288193194678034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489647287447497860.post-47296692630669711222010-12-02T16:39:00.000-08:002010-12-02T16:45:34.545-08:00Does your Prostate Supplement contain GMO Beta-sitosterol?Most of us know that GMO (or “genetically modified organisms”) is the science that allows DNA from one species to be injected into another species in a laboratory, creating combinations of plant, animal, bacteria, and viral genes that do not occur in nature or through traditional crossbreeding methods. In over 30 countries around the world there are restrictions and/or bans on the production of GMOs. These restrictions and/or bans exist because GMOs are not considered to be proven as safe. Some of the countries that have these restrictions include: Japan, Russia, Australia, and all of the countries in the European Union.<br /><br />In 2008, a CBS News poll found that 87% of consumers wanted products containing GMOs labeled as such. A more recent poll by CBS/New York Times found that 53% of consumers would not buy food that was genetically modified. <br /><br />Most beta-sitosterol found in prostate formulas is derived from soy. This is interesting in that it is well known that soy contains phyto-estrogens and consumption of soy has been shown to reduce testosterone levels. FYI, most soy consumed in Asian countries is fermented soy. Un-fermented soy was and is reserved for un-faithful husbands. Unlike Asian countries most soy consumed in the US is not fermented. Now back to soy and GMO. In 2009 the US Department of Agriculture reported that 93% of the soy grown in the United States was GMO. Unlike most prostate formulas, the beta-sitosterol in Best Prostate™ is non-GMO. In addition the beta-sitosterol in Best Prostate™ is derived from pine and not soy.Jerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01457288193194678034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489647287447497860.post-42853643288292092542010-07-12T17:29:00.000-07:002011-05-02T22:37:46.296-07:00What Is the Best Prostate Formula or Supplement for Your Prostate?<a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/idUS93497+12-Jul-2010+PRN20100712">http://www.reuters.com/article/idUS93497+12-Jul-2010+PRN20100712</a><br /><br /><br />PR Newswire<br /><br />NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 12<br /><br />NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif., July 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Searching the Internet can be very misleading. Today the dietary supplement market is crowded with prostate formulas. The consumer is confused with fraudulent prostate pill reports that try to compare prostate formula safety and efficacy based upon laboratory tests of ingredients and measurements that have nothing to do safety or whether the product will work.<br /><br />Beware the prostate manufacturer that directly attacks other prostate manufacturers to sell their prostate formula. These practices are both unethical and a demonstration of desperation. Some alleged consumer guides are disguised to look like they are an authority on the subject when they are literally a subjective way to confuse the consumer into purchasing a more expensive product. The FDA published consumer guidelines for shopping for dietary supplements. These can be found at: <a href="http://www.fda.gov/Food/DietarySupplements/ConsumerInformation/ucm110567.htm">http://www.fda.gov/Food/DietarySupplements/ConsumerInformation/ucm110567.htm</a><br /><br />Look for a return policy or guarantee it should be obvious. Are you being signed up for a monthly, or bimonthly auto-shipment and billing program? Companies offering this will be storing your credit card information. The Better Business Bureau is loaded with complaints against companies that auto-ship and bill consumers for products.<br /><br />Does the website where you are shopping actually provide references for the claims made? You should be able to find the study in the National Library of Medicine's database of literature citations (<a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/PubMed/</a>). Has the referenced study been reviewed by recognized scientific experts and published in reputable peer-reviewed scientific journals, like the New England Journal of Medicine? If not then the FDA advises that you beware this manufacturer.<br /><br />Many consumers do not realize that when they use a search engine that the top three categories are advertisements. These are listed as "sponsored links." These are paid advertisements that are selling a specific product. What you read in this section is an advertisement and not the gospel. Search engine companies do not confirm the validity of an advertisement they make money when you click on the link. Some advertisers mislead consumers to believe that they are visiting an accredited institution that provides product ratings. Consumers need to verify that the reviewing organization is valid and accredited. If the link is a "sponsored link" it is no more than an advertisement. Factual product comparisons can be made from one label to the next. However efficacy and safety issues involve scientific study not a lab test.

Sounds official doesn't it. You may wish to click on the link to see all the credentials of the medical personnel and all the health reports they have published. MDHealthReports.com makes you think that they provide authentic doctor approved or endorsed health reports on numerous products. The truth is they provide one report that promotes the expensive product "Prostavar". The website posts pictures and/or logos of Duke Medicine, and the "James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute" - John Hopkins Medicine as endorsements.<br />
<br />
Best Prostate is manufactured in Torrance, California. The state-of-the-art facility in Torrance is one of the few facilities in the United States that carries GMP (good manufacturing practices) certifications from both NSF International, NPA (Natural Products Association, formerly NNFA), as well as QAI (Quality Assurance International) organic certification.<br />
<br />
Maybe MDhealthreports.com (Stigwood) can provide you with a photo of the facility in Torrance, CA.<br />
<br />
The Offices of Best Prostate are in North Hollywood, CA. Personally the owners of Best Prostate did not see fit to spend resources on expensive offices in Beverly Hills, CA that would increase the price of our product for consumers.<br />

Be advised that the lab tests provided by MDHealthReports.com can not and do not infer either efficacy or safety. A laboratory measurement can only confirm the identity of a specific compound and the amount of it present in the sample being tested. MDHealthReports.com discusses the benefit of the mineral zinc but fails to discuss why zinc is in a supplement.<br />
<br />
Best Prostate contains zinc due to the findings published by Leake A, et al. "The effect of zinc on the 5 alpha-reduction of testosterone by the hyperplastic human prostate gland." J Steroid Biochem. Feb1984;2092:651-655.and Pavon Maganto E. "Zinc in prostatic physiopathology. I. Role of zinc in the physiology and biochemistry of the prostatic gland". Arch Esp Urol. Mar1979;32(2):143-52. and the fact that scientists have known for decades that Zinc may play an important part in prostate health. Additional data on Zinc and Prostate Health has been completed by Irving Bush, M.D., senior consultant at the Center for Study of Genitourinary Diseases in West Dundee, Illinois, and former chairman of the Food and Drug Administration panels on gastroenterology, urology and dialysis. Dr. Irving Bush of the Chicago Medical School and researchers from Cook County Hospital studied over 5,000 patients and the effects of zinc on enlarged prostates. An additional study was conducted at the University of Edinburgh Medical School in Scotland where they discovered high doses of zinc inhibited the activity of the enzyme that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone in test tube prostate tissues.Jerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01457288193194678034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489647287447497860.post-84560880522471878242010-05-15T19:41:00.000-07:002010-06-15T10:20:52.671-07:00Best Prostate™ FormulaClick here to visit <a href="http://www.bestprostate.com/">http://www.bestprostate.com/</a> <br />Real money back guarantee - no credit card information is stored.

We have attempted to confirm the validity of this institute at <a href="http://www.hoovers.com/">http://www.hoovers.com/</a> and they have no record of this business or institute. Internet search engines do not contain records that authenticate the Stigwood Research Institute. It should be noted that research institutes generally are accredited institutions with obvious credentials. These web sites encourage the consumer to purchase the product Prostavar(TM) manufactured by Superbalife International, LLC. over other products. Before purchasing from this company or any internet company a consumer should check to see if the said company has complaints reported via the Better Business Bureau. You should note that the Better Business Bureau almost always has a record of a company if complaints have been submitted. You should also note that if a business is not a paying member of the Better Business Bureau they may not be listed with the BBB if no complaints have been filed. Not finding a business on the BBB web site simply means either they have no complaints or they have not paid a fee to be a member of the BBB or no free BBB listing has been requested. If a complaint has been reported the BBB will almost always have a listing of the company whether or not the company is a paying member of the BBB.Jerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01457288193194678034noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489647287447497860.post-36426757038309361802010-04-08T17:49:00.000-07:002017-02-23T13:11:47.167-08:00Super Beta Prostate®<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
