4. 46? How sad
That is so young. It would be nice if they would come out and tell people what is causing these types of cancer. And it's not cigarettes people.

7. Remember Lyle Alzado?...
...Now think about all the chemicals and hormones pumped into the animals that the average American consumes.

9. Yup
The beef industry is huge though. If the energy was put into speaking out against that as much as they do tobacco, millions of lives could last a bit longer.

8. A few sources, including IMDB, have her birthdate as Sept 1962...
that would make her only 43. AP lists her as having been 46. I wonder who is right.
