Question 2

For over a decade, beta-carotene pills have been promoted as a way to prevent cancer. However, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), several U.S. studies have found that the pills don't have any cancer-fighting properties. A Physician's Health Study carried out in 1994, for instance, indicated that there was no noteworthy decline in the rate of cancer for people taking high doses of beta-carotene supplements. In addition, two later studies suggest that taking high doses of beta-carotene pills in combination with smoking may actually increase the risk of lung cancer. And yet another study published by WHO points to an increase in heart disease for smokers who take beta-carotene pills.

  b. Taking beta-carotene pills may not prevent cancer; in addition, it may actually further damage the health of people who smoke while taking the supplements.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
