ThumbnailDescription & CreditThumbnailDescription & Credit

Pictured is a Japanese-American family. There is a mother, father and a pre-school boy. They are seated in an outdoor restaurant and are eating hamburgers and drinking milk. Because Japanese-Americans tend to marry among themselves, factors other than genetic must be examined for cancer incidence. Diet and other lifestyle variations are being studied. Japanese who emigrate to California and change their lifestyles, seem to have an increased incidence of colon cancer. Credit: Linda Bartlett (photographer).
