==========================================
TAKE OUR SURVEYS, HELP US IMPROVE!
Now that we've finished our major web site redesign, we want to know
what you think. We've placed surveys on our site:
On the home page (http://envirocancer.cornell.edu/)
On two fact sheets
(http://envirocancer.cornell.edu/factsheet/factsheetALpha.cfm)
On the EnviroChem database (http://envirocancer.cornell.edu/eccd/)
If you use these resources, please take a few minutes (no more than
five) to complete these anonymous surveys. Help us understand how you
use our resources so we can improve our service to you. (If you have
any additional comments you'd like to share, please send an email to
our web writer, Ellen Hartman at eh79 at cornell.edu.)
==========================================
REVISED FACT SHEET
Vegetables and Fruits and the Risk of Breast Cancer
Numerous health benefits are associated with eating vegetables and
fruits. Recent studies, however, have challenged prior thinking about
the relationship between vegetable and fruit consumption and breast
cancer risk. BCERF has revised our fact sheet on this topic in light
of new information. Read the Vegetables and Fruit fact sheet at
<http://envirocancer.cornell.edu/factsheet/diet/fs18.vegetablefruit.cfm>.
