heart diseaseheart disease or strokestroke than has previously been

recognized, according to findings from one of the largest studies

ever to examine the issue.

P.S. I forgot to mention a couple of important things to topics

discussed in this group:

1.) In television interview I saw regarding this article, person said

results were confirmed by patients who moved from polluted air to non

polluted air, saw a <<<quick>>> reversal of symptoms.

and..

2.) as has been discussed many times here, primarily by Live Simply,

that smallest particles seem to be the cause as they infiltrate your

body easily.

Barb,

Basically, its the structure of the lungs that makes it so that larger

particles can't get down to the deepest part of the lungs, where the actual

absorbtion of oxygen into the bloodstream occurs..

Other people here have mentioned this too, at least in the past.
