Chemotherapy and radiation have side effects, and they can cause secondary cancers.
Being an educated consumer is the best way to shop for nutritious, disease-preventing foods.
If there is even a possibility that BPA may be disrupting the endocrine systems of children, adolescents, and adults, and may be carcinogenic for humans as it is for mice, it should be removed from consumer products.
When we speak of maintaining clean water supplies and a sustainable use of the environment, we should also stress the elimination of harmful chemicals in consumer products.
I love my country, but it's a very hard life, the life of a politician.
As my grandma used to say, 'Between now and then, a pope could be born.' We never say what's going to happen tomorrow. We make the most of today.
In 1992, I was a young doctor working as a diagnostic radiologist in the outpatient mammography division of a leading teaching hospital.
An abnormality on a mammogram can turn a woman's life upside down, even if no cancer is ultimately found. At the very least, she will have to undergo more tests, usually with a biopsy as a first step. The procedure takes its toll in time and money and even more so in the stress it introduces into a woman's life.
Why have we settled for a medical system that allows cancer to be recast as a chronic and tolerable disease rather than one we should try to prevent? Why do so many scientists at the nation's drug companies and universities turn their backs on the possibility of prevention?
For years, I have been observing our 'cancer culture' and I have become convinced that it is not structured to do what we most need: to determine how to prevent cancer, and then implement our discoveries.
E-cigarettes will raise your risk for lung cancer but also other cancers, like liver cancer.
Because of their chemical composition e-cigarettes are at least as harmful to your health as regular tobacco cigarettes are.
E-cigarettes contain many harmful chemicals that tobacco cigarettes do not contain such as formaldehyde, benzene, propylene glycol, and metals like cadmium, nickel, and tin.
You want two-thirds of that plate to be consisting of vegetables, whole grains and fruits, with one-third of it protein. That protein can be a bean - black beans, chick peas, lentils. It can be a lean protein, like fish or poultry.
The closer food looks to the way it is in nature, the better you can tell that it's nutritious, and a good part of a healthful diet, which along with exercise can promote overall health.
Italian language and culture are beloved throughout the U.S.A.
The Italian Language Foundation will continue to support the growth of AP Italian through its grants to AP students, and its professional development opportunities for teachers of Italian.
Too many women are dying needlessly from ovarian cancer.
It is an honor and a privilege to participate in the Sinai Forum, which has graciously hosted many formidable men and women for the past 60 years.
The AP Italian language program has been preserved. We would like to thank the scores of people who joined the effort to ensure that generations of students will have the opportunity to learn not only a beautiful language but the history and contributions of one of the great cultures of Western civilization.
