Cancer is a disease that can infect almost any organ on the body and can begin anywhere and on any type of cell. The illness can show up as a result of many various factors. Cancer is formed from an uncontrollable growth of cells in the body that dont break up which leads to a grouping of unusual tissue growth that goes out of control. The main causes of cancer can be linked to a persons way of living; such as the persons diet, their thought process and their surroundings but most cancers spur from a combination of various situations. The way in which you live your life can be the most defining causes for whether or not you produce cancer. Unhealthy eating habits can play a part in the build up and spread of cancer.

É evidente que tudo isso deve vir acompanhado de uma política de crescimento sustentável, com a facilitação ao fomento da criação de postos de trabalho, através do incentivo aos empreendedores, para entrarem no mercado comercial-produtivo com o mínimo de burocracia e entraves fiscais escorchantes. Para se criar condições favoráveis a essas ações de bom senso administrativo, os gastos públicos, necessariamente, têm de ser reduzidos a patamares honestos e compatíveis com as necessidades do país, sem "cabides de emprego",...more
