Rautt kjöt og krabbamein
mbl.is greindi frá því að vísindamenn við Krabbameinsstofnun Bandaríkjanna hafi fundið nýjar vísbendingar um að óhófleg neysla á rauðu kjöti og unnum kjötvörum sé skaðleg heilsu manna. Vísindamenn segja að þeir sem neyta mikils kjöts séu í margfalt meiri hættu á að fá krabbamein og aðra banvæna sjúkdóma. Þeir sem leggja sér hvítt kjöt til munns í meira mæli eru í töluvert minni hættu.

Accelerated Breast Radiation: Cheaper, Faster, and Just As Effective?
For women facing radiation therapy after surgery for breast cancer, the standard course of treatment typically involves daily radiation sessions over a period of 6 to 7 weeks. That regimen can be hard to manage, especially for women already juggling work and child care schedules or for those living far from treatment centers. Shorter, and potentially cheaper, courses of radiation may soon be a real option for some women, according to new research presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology (ASTRO).
