PARIS (AFP) - Here's another reason to brush your teeth: poor dental hygiene boosts the risk of heart attacks and strokes, a pair of studies reported this week.

We now recognize that bacterial infections are an independent risk factor for heart diseases," said Howard Jenkins of the University of Bristol in Britain, at a meeting of the Society for General Microbiology in Dublin.

"In other words, it doesn't matter how fit, slim or healthy you are, you're adding to your chances of getting heart disease by having bad teeth," the professor said.

The mouth is probably the dirtiest place in the human body," Steve Kerrigan of the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin said.

"If you have an open blood vessel from bleeding gums, bacteria will gain entry to your bloodstream."

Once inside the blood, certain bacteria stick onto cells called platelets, causing them to clot inside the vessel and thus decreasing blood flow to the heart.

This not only created conditions that can provoke heart attacks and strokes, it also shielded the bacteria from both, immune system cells and antibiotics.

ALL the theories all these scientists come up with...sittin in their labs with all these funny funny experiments
ever come up with this finding: MEN hunt, WOMEN hunted

counting down to how many more daes to the new yr 2008

the taipei trip i had with the gers was gd, the bkk trip was gd, in fact i find it betta to be travellin with older crowds when the aunties n uncles make decision n bring u to places they are familiar with. one thing abt the bkk trip was that i wasnt realli able to shit properly..hahaha..unlike the taipei trip in which i make it a pt to poo poo almost everydae. 

shockin enuff was tat i din realli shop much tru out these 2 trips. and i had this crazy idea to drag some gf or whoever to go over to bkk over the wkend in the early nxt yr to realli shop n shop n nothin else. the onli stuffs i seem to get from bkk was the tees n heels from taipei. others are juz some random stuffz in the list. o yeah, i got another choya which i haven even touch my first bottle from the first bkk trip early this yr. :P 

time flies, it be a new yr soon for my next nie yr. imagined i was informed tru sms tat it was the last dae for registratn for modules,. when i was on my way to see tigers with monks in kanchaburi in bkk. alas, to our disappointmt, the tigers seem as if they are all drugged or somethin, perhaps they are realli slpin but well..its juz like tourin ard the tiger dens with slpy n drowdsy tigers...tat dun seem to respond. but end of the story was i had help to have my modules registered although tiger tour was juz a so so. 

there is a sayin tat we onli see the real person when this person is hanging ard with their frenz, and how they respond and behave with them. i seen alot tru out my daes of stay in bkk. n i am begining to focus on IT.
