Prevention agents--the dos--include a high-fiber, low-fat diet (fish, fruits and vegetables, whole grains); avoiding unnecessary x-rays (a chest x-ray); avoiding too much sun (a bottle of sun screen and a wide-brimmed hat); following health and safety rules at work (gloves and goggles). The don'ts include tobacco use (a tin of chew tobacco and a full ashtray); taking estrogen longer than necessary (a pill bottle and several pills); excessive alcohol consumption (a can of beer and two mixed drinks).
