Nice article, thanks for sharing that. I read a couple of articles
concerning India, and these articles sounded positive about the vinegar
"pap smear".

zz asked about farm animals having cancer. People get cancer and so do
animals, the longer we live the greater chance we have of getting it.
Doctors have said it is a disease of aging, although some people get it
much earlier.

Most animals that are raised for a source of food do not live long
enough to get it, chickens are slaughtered in 6-8 weeks, pigs are 12
months, cows about 18 months. Those are "round about" numbers. Now I am
waiting for somebody to tell me that pigs are slaughtered in 11 months
and 3 weeks instead of 12 months. You know they do it! ;-)
