Good for You, Good for Our Earth

A new study released in Science News looks a the link between exposure to diesel exhaust and an increase in new blood vessel formation. Question is, does this have a direct effect on Cancer?

The study here is  an animal study, based or correlation, not causation, and the headline is not quite accurate, but does cause us to ask the question, and to do more research on what polluting our environment does to our long term health.
