Nutrition and Weight Loss Ideas

In the last article we talked about the two forms of lung cancer – non-small cell and small cell. We also indicated that the more common form is the non-small cell form.

Small cell lung cancer is not as common as non-small lung cancer. This type of lung cancer spreads rapidly and may reach different organs of the body. This type of lung cancer is called oat cell cancer.

During recent years, lung cancer has been proclaimed as the deadliest form of cancer in many developed nations, including the USA, where 170,000 people die from the disease each year. Even though lung changes begin almost immediately upon exposure to carcinogens, lung cancer takes years to develop.

I would like to begin a series of articles on a very important subject – Lung Cancer.

This disease is beginning to have some profound implications, not only to the health and well-being of our own society here in America, but also throughout the world.

The main reason this has become such a prevalent problem – SMOKING!

That’s it – plain and simple. Too many people are still smoking – and too many people still have to breathe second-hand smoke. This is especially upsetting to me when I see parents smoking around their young children.

So, for the next several articles, lung cancer will be the topic. I will probably intersperse a few articles on other topics just to break the tension – or the boredom – or whatever. But, generally, you’ll be getting a heck-of-a-lot of information about this subject. These articles will run over the next month or so.

Now, I’m not a doctor or a health professional — so let’s clear that up right away. In fact, I think I better post a disclaimer here right away so we don’t have any misunderstandings. I’m very interested in the broader subject of health and nutrition, so that’s my primary reason for embarking on this series.

I hope you enjoy these articles. My purpose in doing this is to offer the point of view of the average person, rather than the professional.

Here is the more legal language for the disclaimer:
