It seems to be reasonably well done and well researched so I am believing what he says. And on page 84 he says:
"... physically active people have a 50% less chance of developing colon cancer; and active men over 65 have a 70% lower chance of developing the advanced, typically fatal form of prostate cancer."
... Sure hope that he's right!
... And best of luck at your next check-up!
Well, then, I guess I'll continue to play in the street even after hitting 65 in a couple of years. The way I see it, cycling keeps me immature. Anything about immaturity in that book?
