Answer to Question 1

Studies of the eating habits of different population groups provide some of the knowledge we already have about the diet-cancer connection. Research involving Seventh-Day Adventists, a group of people with a remarkably low death rate from cancers of all kinds, is particularly telling. This religious group has rules against smoking and using alcohol, discourages the use of hot condiments and spices, and encourages a meatless diet. After cancers linked to smoking and alcohol are discounted, these people still have a cancer mortality rate about one-half to two-thirds that of the rest of the population. This may be due to a low consumption of meat and to a high consumption of fruits, vegetables, and cereal grains.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
