TFIE DTET/ CANICER CONNECTIONC" your diet prevent colon cancer?The fact is, while there is no evidencethat any single food or lifesfle habitcan prevent cancer altogether, someexperts believe you can reduce yourrisk for developing many types ofcancer by a combination of lifestylechanges (quit smokiilB, for example)and eating a nutritionally sound diet.In fact, improving your diet mayreduce your risk of cancer by asmuch as31Vo. The key dietarychanges that may be linked withreduced cancer risk are: less totalfats, more fiber, and more fruitsand vegetables, particularly thoserich in Vitamin A, beta<aroteneand Vitamin C. The good news isthat by taking charge of yournutritiory you can improve yourhealth while reducing your risk ofdiseases like cancer. The newnutrition isn't saying good-bye tothe four basic food groups. It's tohelp us understand how to makebetter nutritional choices from thefoods we eat.

Dietary fat is literally, the most"fattening" nutrient we eat. Di-etary fats should be limited to nomore than 30To of your total dailycalories. Fats have 9 calories pergram as opposed to 4 calories pergtram of carbohydrates and protein.No more than one third of your "fatcalories" should come from thesaturated variety. Saturated fats arefound primarily in foods of animalorigin - red meats, lard, butter,poultry with skin, "marbled" meat,and whole milk dairy products.However, two vegetable //6ilg"-coconut and palm-are also highlysaturated. Saturated fats are thosefats that remain solid at roomtemperature. Saturated fats areknown to contribute to higher levelsof heartdamagng cholesterol,cardiovascular disease, and many

types of cancer. Unsaturated fats arefound primarily in vegetable oilssuch as peanut oil, olive oil, canola oil(monounsaturated), and sunfloweroil, corn oil, and safflower oil (poly-unsaturated).

There's more to fiber than crunch.What grandma called roughagescientists know as fiber-the indi-gestible cell walls of plants. Dietaryfiber can be either water-soluble or

water-insoluble. Mostplant foods have a combination ofboth. Beans, oats, and many fruitsare high in water-soluble fiber, whilewheat bran and many vegetables arehigher in water-insoluble fiber. Toreduce your risk, balance your diet toinclude both forms of fiber. TheNational Cancer Institute recom-mends a daily intake of 2&30 gramsof fiber per day. Excessive fiberintake can cause painful intestinalgas, diarrhea, bloating and caninterfere with the body's absorptionof essential nutrients. Fiber aidsdigestiory may prevent constipatioryappear to help regulate cholesteroland blood sugar, and may evendecrease your risk of some kinds ofcancer. Good sources of dietary fiberinclude whole grains, legumes, bran

cerealq brown rice, oatmeal, andfresh fruits and vegetables.

Besides being excellent sources ofdietary fiber, fresh fruits and ve[t-etables contain many of the vitaminsassociated with possible reduced can-cer risk. Vitamitr A, or its chemical"precurso/' beta<arotene, may helpprotect against many kinds of cancer,and is found in orange vegetableslike squash and carrots and dark-geen leafy vegetables like spinach.Vitamin C may prevent the forma-tion of some cmc€rcausing chemi-cals and is found in citrus fmib, to-matoes, strawberries, potatoes anddark-green leafy vegetables as well.Vegetables in the cabbage family-broccoli, cauliflower, brusselssprouts,-may also contain naturalchemicals that protect against canc€r.

Unfortunately, salad bars can also befattening. Ifs easy to load up a plateand rack up the calories by over do-irg high fat dressings, macarod,pasta, and potato salads.

Besides eating less fats and moredietary fiber, fresh fruits, and veg-etables, the best advice is to eat a va-riety of foods that are fresh and/or asclose to their "natural" state as pos-sible.

The dispensaly will be having acolorectal scree^irg through themonth of February. Pick up yourfree test kit and instructions from thedispensary. Return your speimen tothe dispensary and the nurse will doa fast simple analysis to see if there isany "hidden" blood in your speci-men which is one of the early signs ofcolon-rectal cancer. Anyone withbleeding from other known condi-tions, such as hemorrhoids ormenstrual bldirg should not takethe test while such bleeding is active.

pleted an option to purchase 35 acresof land in Arnold, Mo., performed anindustrial engineering study of theprinting and distribution processeswithin the building and completedthe concept design of the building.

Additionally, the $40.3 millionoverall effort has been approvedthrough the Office of the Secretary ofDefense Construction (MILCON)program.

Leading the agenq/s effort is theInstallations Division of the Acquisi-tion and Logistics Directorate(DMA/AQl.

An interdisciplinary team led byDon Cuming, has a mission toachieve project objectives on sched-ule, within budget, and provide ahighquality facility, said Cuming.

His team supports execution ofthe overall engineering design,working with the Combat SupportCenter Transition ManagementOffice and the Aerospace Center'sPrograms, Production and Opera-tions and Facilities Engineeringdirectorates.

'The remarkable progress made todate is the result of extraordinarywork by all personnel who have beenworking both directly on the projectand in support of it," he said.

The MILCON Worki.g Groupscrubbed all building requirements,validated the equipment needed, anddeveloped a fully capable 256,000

square foot building that is withinbudget. The next step in the processis to have the architect/engineeringfirm revise the initial design toreflect the changes reconunended bythe Working Group.

With congressional approval ofthe fiscal 1996 program, DMA plansare to award the constructioncontract early this year, with occu-pancy scheduled for April 1998.
