Food and Cancer

Medical expels have suspected for many years that there

is a strong link between what a person eats and cancer. They

say a new study provides the first evidence1 that vitamins

could reduce a person’s chance of developing cancer. A team

of Chinese and American scientists did the study. They are

from American National Cancer Institute2 and the Cancer

Institute of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences3 in

Beijing. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute

published the results of the study. About thirty thousand

people between the ages of 40 to 69 took part in the study.

They were from the northern central Chinese area of Linxian.

Most of them took vitamins and minerals every day for five

years.

Linxian was chosen because the people there have all

extremely high rate of cancer of stomach and esophagus.

Common Problems, Common Solutions

The chances are that you made up your mind about smoking

a long time ago-and decided it's not for you.

The chances are equally good that you know a lot of

smokers-there are, after all about 60 millions of them, work

with them, play with them, and get along with them very well.

And finally it's a pretty safe bet that you're open-minded and interested in all the various issues about smokers

and nonsmokers-or you wouldn't be reading this.

And those three things make you incredibly important

today.

Because they mean that yours is the voice-not the

smoker's and not the anti-smoker's-that will determine how

much of society's efforts should go into building walls that

separate us and how much into the search for solutions that

bring us together.

from experiments that，“80 percent of the children of two

obese parents become obese，as compared with no more than 14

“ Salty” Rice Plant Boosts Harvests

British scientists are breeding a new generation of rice

plants that will be able to grow in soil containing salt

water. Their work may enable abandoned farms to become

productive once more.

Tim Flowers and Tony Yeo, from Sussex University’s

School of Biological Sciences, have spent several years

researching how crops, such as rice, could be made to grow in

water that has become salty.

The pair have recently begun a three-year programme,

funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research

Council, to establish which genes enable some plants to

survive salty conditions. The aim is to breed this capability

into crops, starting with rice.

It is estimated that each year more than 10m hectares（公顷） of agricultural land are lost because salt gets into the
