"In our study, we used mice that were genetically engineered to develop an aggressive form of prostate cancer," Erdman says. The mice that ate soy and tomatoes together developed no cancerous lesions in the prostate at end end of the study. http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-05-04/science/39026322_1_mission-team-storms-rockets Science http://illinois.edu/lb/article/14/74077 Sat, 04 May 2013 08:00:00 CDT Best of Illinois in the News The Times of India (New Delhi, May 4) -- A NASA-funded sounding rocket mission will help better understand and predict the electrical storms in Earth's upper atmosphere, which can interfere with satellite communication and global positioning signals.
