Flash-lack of literacy causes cancer

I thought the following excerpt from in the most recent Phi Kappa Phi magazine would be of the utmost interest to all you medical types. I am sure that after you read this that you will want to include some basic reading texts in you medical kits as part of your tools of the trade.

"Those who lack basic literacy skills are more likely than others to suffer from heart disease, diabetes, and prostate cancer, and as people gain literacy skills, they are more likely to understand their health problems and to follow treatment regimens properly."

Now you know that you all can prevent many of the problems that we thought might have been caused by pesticides, genetics, bad diets, and poor choices.
