Steve Jobs has resigned as chief executive of Apple, in a surprise move that may signal that the 56-year-old co-founder of the company is losing his battle with pancreatic cancer 胰腺癌.
Bad diet is a potential pancreatic cancer cause for a variety of reasons. First, a bad diet could deprive a person of nutrients that are more likely to fight early-forming cancer cells. Secondly, fatty foods are hard on the digestive system. The pancreas could respond by producing too many enzymes too quickly, in hopes of being able to break down the food. Such a process may make it more prone to over-exert itself, possibly making it weaker if abnormal cells do attack it.
Diets high in meats, cholesterol fried foods and nitrosamines may increase risk, while diets high in fruits and vegetables reduce risk. Foliate may be protective.
