Gavin, so unbelievable! I was hoping more people were finding our CC site but that CC itself was not increasing. We need to blether, been missing you!

Lainy, it's a study out of Taiwan, about Taiwan. They say that CC incidence is increasing in Taiwan. That doesn't automatically mean that it's increasing everywhere. Each country is a bit different.

I can't access the full text of the study, so I can't see what they have to say about the reasons. Maybe Taiwanese increased their consumption of raw sushi? Or alcohol? Who knows.

Thanks Eli, don't know why I am always thinking it is the "other" place. I had trouble reading it.

I have a feeling it is the "cancer of the year" from everything I've heard lately. Not only are our members increasing, but when I go to NY I usually find 1 or 2 people there with it or with an "as yet unknown" cancer around liver.

Kris, Cancer of the year? What a claim to fame. Wish with all my might we could have been famous for something else! Hope you are doing good and hanging in there!

I know, I know. I had 6 guests for Pasta Wed, night. 4 of them are the nicest "young" single guys who have already asked for my phone number and given theirs to me in case I need anything. I am so happy here, Gavin. Then I have been cooking and freezing meals for when Maria comes in the end of the Month. This weekend a good blether and let me know how Mum is doing.

Re: A nationwide population-based study shows increasing incidence of chol

As usual Momma, you sound even busier than me, especially with your socialising! Pasta night sounds like it was a good night, of course it was though as they were eating your pasta!! And 4 "young" single dudes asking for your number....whoa..... I will have to check them all out!!! You sound very happy there Lainy and that makes me very happy too! smile

Expect to see me boinging over your fence tomorrow night! Well night time for me, middle of the sweltering day for you!!! Missing you too!!

Hugs,

Gavin
