The researchers used data collected from 29,133 male smokers over a period of 16 years, for their analysis. The risk of pancreatic cancer is highest in those whose insulin and glucose levels are very high.

You know what’s really infuriating?
Our illustrious U.S. President is now trying to cut ALL funds for the largest study ever aimed at determining environmental and other CAUSES of cancer!
Read the third article down at http://www.robertsreview.com. You won’t believe it!
I’m writing my Congressmen and the President (there are email links in the story…) to give them a piece of my mind and to demand that they restore the funds. If these studies aren’t don’t…we’ll NEVER get to the bottom of why so many people are being killed by this miserable disease.
Sometimes, when you’re dealing with difficulty it feels good to just DO something.
Maybe by spreading the word on the RobertsReview.com story…we can help stop this disease before it ruins all our kids and their kids’ kids lives, too!
Keep pluggin’….and WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMEN!!!
