Although the incidence of breast cancer in women is considerably higher than in men, a recent news story reminds us all that this cancer affects men too. About 2,000 men are diagnosed with breast cancer annually, so when 40 men who all lived on the Marine base Camp Lejeune at some point in their lives were diagnosed with breast cancer, one has to think environmental factors played a part in their developing the disease.
Forty former US Marines or sons of Marines, who lived at Camp Lejeune between 1960 and 1980, have all been diagnosed with the disease.

Marinating meat will not only help keep your meat moist, it also significantly decreases the amount of carcinogenic heterocyclic amines (HCAs) produced when meat is cooked at high temperatures. In fact, rosemary is full of the antioxidant carnosol, which might have some specific anti-cancer properties as well.
