Dear Stovers,
India is currently experiencing an epidemic of heart disease. People
as young as 35 are dying of heart attack. The doctors attribute it to
changes in lifestyle (sedentary jobs, no exercise, junk food, etc.)
But the study quoted by Crispin suggests that air pollution caused by
automobile vehicles might also be a contributing factor.
Yours
