Description:
Does a daily dose of vitamin C really prevent colds? Does a low-fat diet protect against breast cancer? Harvard Medical School's pioneering Nurses' Health Study set out twenty-five years ago to seek the answers to important questions about how lifestyle affects health -- exclusively from a women's perspective -- by tracking and examining the real-life experiences of 225,000 nurses. The largest and most long-lasting study of its kind, it has become the foundation and source of women's wellness information cited by health professionals all over the world.
