I have many funny, fond memories of time spent with both Bonnie and Gord. I think of when you and Janet were babies in both Burlington and Manotick .

For many years, my visits to family in Ottawa included a side trip to see your mom and dad. – Diana Zimmer

- Folate intake may reduce colorectal cancer riskA newly released study finds high folate intake is linked to a reduced risk of colorectal cancer, a finding consistent with the findings of most prior epidemiologic studies. The study is reassuring, as prior recent evidence has suggested that consumption of very high levels of folate through supplements and from folate-fortified diet may increase risk of som […]
- Virtual colonoscopy is effectiveComputed tomographic colonography (CTC), also known as virtual colonoscopy, remains effective in screening older patients for colorectal cancer (CRC), produces low referral for colonoscopy rates similar to other screening exams now covered by Medicare, and does not result in unreasonable levels of additional testing resulting from extracolonic findings, as p […]
