...women. Yet the nurses who consumed the most fiber (around 25 g a day) were no better off than the ones who ate the least (10 g a day). There was an indication that "fiber from fruit might protect against colon cancer," says Dr. Charles Fuchs, a gastrointestinal oncologist who led the study, "but the data weren't statistically significant...
...Jewish child, I was encouraged to consider a lot of professions: oncologist, anesthesiologist, radiologist, cardiologist, even proctologist--though that wasn't highly recommended. But Antichrist, from what I recall, wasn't mentioned at all. So when Jerry Falwell declared at a conference of Evangelicals that the Antichrist was a living Jewish male, I was disgusted.

Until then, they will have to rely on the next best thing: drugs developed by pharmaceutical firms that block the destructive messages generated by the errant genes. Jose's physician selects a combination of treatments that matches the tumor's genetic profile. Six months later, no trace...
...phenomenon that is endemic in America--divorce. I've known both her parents and can personally attest to the fact that they didn't get along. That's why they got a divorce. But I also know this: Dr. Lewinsky worked very hard--full time as a radiation oncologist to treat cancer and at night as an emergency physician. He was, and is, a compassionate man. All this talk of a violent temper, of verbal abuse of his children and wife, has more to do with lawyers and divorce strategy than reality...
