| Scientists say cancer is man-made |
癌症是人为疾病 |
| After analyzing almost 1,000 remains from ancient Egypt and Greece, researchers only found a handful of possible cancer cases, Metro Online reports. They also found precious little reference made to the symptoms of cancer in ancient literature. The first reports in scientific literature of distinctive tumors have only occurred in the past 200 years. "In industrialized societies, cancer is second only to cardiovascular disease as a cause of death," said Rosalie David of Manchester University. "In ancient times, it was extremely rare. There is nothing in the natural environment that can cause cancer. So it has to be a man-made disease, down to pollution and changes to our diet and lifestyle." |
据英国《都市报》网站报道，研究人员分析了近1千具古埃及和古希腊的遗骸后，只发现少数癌症疑似病例。在古代文献里，他们也只发现凤毛麟角的涉及癌症症状的描述。在科学文献中，对典型肿瘤的首批报告在过去两百年间才出现。曼彻斯特大学的罗莎莉·大卫教授表示:：“在工业社会里，癌症是排在心血管病后的第二大致命疾病。在古代，癌症极其少见。自然环境中并没有致癌成分。因此癌症一定是人为疾病，是由污染以及饮食生活方式的变更引起的。” |

| A sixth-grader is pregnant after she was raped several times by her teacher's father, the Youth Times reports. The local procuratorate in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, confirmed Friday that Pan, the teacher's father, has been arrested. The girl's mother died last year and her father works in another city, leaving her to lodge with her teacher and several other people for 5 years.
