Answer to Question 1

Most foods are frozen as quickly as possible because the slower the freezing process, the larger the ice crystals. If the ice crystals become too large, the cell walls are ruptured and the fluid within the cells is lost when the food is thawed.

Answer to Question 2

After the food has been prepared, it is placed into a metal or glass container. Then the container is heated until steam rises from the food, pushing out the air. Finally, the top is sealed tightly enough to prevent the entrance of air or microbes.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes.

The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
