Document Summary

Professor noticed that the number of students attending her lecture is dropping each week and she"s sad (good multiple choice, true/false question) Hard to determine which one of these diseases is environmental related. Many are environmentally related and others are not. Cardiovascular diseases can be environmental related to everyday stress, or smoking or air pollution and can be due to food. Cancer is also in the same boat and have many factors from the environment that causes health problems. Asthma are related to diseases in our environment. Bacterial disease are not difficult to cure and we have antibiotics (one of the biggest discoveries of the 20th century) On the other hand, viruses are often immune to antibiotics. When one has the flu, the doctor often does not prescribe antibiotics. Many bacteria do not react negatively to antibiotics and continue to thrive.
