Wage a food fight against cancer

Article Abstract:

Studies have demonstrated the existence of a relationship between eating patterns and cancer. Statistics showing that 35% of all cancer deaths are diet-related prove that food preferences play a vital role in determining susceptibility to this disease. To minimize one's risk for cancer, it is important to eat a variety of vitamin-rich foods and stay on a low-fat diet. Such a diet should include fruits, vegetables, whole grains and complex carbohydrates. Avoiding smoked, salt-cured and nitrite-cured foods will also reduce the risk for esophagus and stomach cancer.

Article Abstract:

Many safety professionals are expected to perform more tasks than they can handle. Those in small companies are particularly vulnerable and safety is often an extra responsibility tagged on to other jobs. The position of safety professionals has broadened substantially during the past years and now some large companies not only have a safety director but a number of other health and safety professionals, such as loss-control managers, ecologists, safety engineers and health inspectors.
