The 40,000 people who work at the clinic and its 10 affiliated hospitals are offered diet and cooking classes, exercise instruction and smoking-cessation programs, all free of charge.

And lest we forget, nothing is complete without the crystal clear twinkle of the finest wine: le vin de Joie de Vivre...
...toxins, hormone levels, or genes. These observations over time allow for an in depth understanding of the reasons for health and risks for disease. A great advantage of cohort studies is that they enable scientists to study multiple diseases (for example heart diseases, cancer, stroke) and multiple risk factors (diet, exercise, air quality) over an individual’s lifetime...
