Surviv- ing on our own probably has not cross- ed many of our minds, especially since it is not a required skill at this Ja/Ih Jopici by ('achy Thomson Nutrition Consultant, Huron County Health Unit Diet and cancer prevention is in the news. Some well respected agencies, including the Canadian Cancer Socie- ty, have issued guidelines aimed at reducing the risk of getting cancer. But the term "anti-cancer" gives the dietary recommendations more credit than they deserve. Your eating habits can certainly stack the deck in your favour, but the diet is not the on- ly answer. Other environmental and genetic. factors are involved in the development of cancer. Although many of the statements about diet and cancer prevention sound conclusive, it is important to realize that the connection between these two is not clearly established. Cancer prevention is an active area of research where the interest is high. the conclusions vary and controver- sy rages. The guidelines discussed below are based on the research to date; it is likely that as more infor- mation becomes available they will change to reflect the newer knowledge. Wondering whether to bother? Cancer prevention aside these guidelines make good ' nutritional sense. in fact, they are not new or revolutionary; it's the same advice nutritionalists have been giving for years.

From a cancer perspective, it may help prevent cancers of the bowel and rectum. • Eat more fruits and vegetables. Nothing new in this. Fruits and vegetables offer a wide variety of vitamins and minerals as well as fibre, and have always been one of the cornerstones of good nutrition. Vegetables from the, cruciferous or cabbage family, and fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A and C are often mentioned. Since vitamin supplements are not recommended as a source of these nutrients, and until more is known about the exact role of these foods, cover all bases by eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. • Watch your weight.

Discussion centered around in- dependence. Being alone is a major part of independence. Everyone must find ways of copingwith the loneliness and the answers are various and numerous.

You'll look better and improve your health by reducing your risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, gastrointestinal problems and possibly cancer of the breast and lining of the uterus. * Easy on the alcohol. Drinking too much can have devastating effects on your health in more ways than one. Alcohol increases the risk of getting cancer of the mouth, larynx, esophegus and upper respiratory tract; the risk becomes greater if you also smoke. • Easy on the smoked, nitrite -cured and salt -cured foods. For most Cana- dians,lhese foods are nota large part of their diets, and processing techni- ques used in Canada make these foods safer than you might think. - Theme well illustrated Fair directors at convention Exeter Agricultural Society members were among the 1400 delegates attending the annual con- vention of the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies when 230 fairs were represented at the convention held at the Royal York, Toronto.
