#530 Show Summary (There’s Your Problem, Right There Show):
As the harsh winter winds give way to the hissing of cracked and frozen pipes beginning to thaw, we thought it was time to do exactly the same thing we did last week – go over a few interesting items from medical research. We have facts and figures on cancer from the American Cancer Society, new information on gastric bypass and alcoholism, and how to get your hands on some Harvard grad student stool.
Tip: 30% of cancer deaths are related to smoking; another 30% to obesity and physical inactivity. Do everything you can to prevent yourself from getting cancer.
