| ID cancer early, then get yearly screenings
A smile stretched across Bill Nevels' youthful face as he reminisced about peeking into George Steinbrenner's office. As he tells it, the New York Yankees owner had left early because his team was losing, and Nevels' grown son's connections got them the sports equivalent of a backstage pass. A sports fan extraordinaire and longtime grade school coach, Nevels, 72, isn't short on sports stories and he has a zest for telling them.

Pros and cons of veganism
People who eat only plant-based foods also have lower rates of type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer, such as prostate and colon cancer.

Vegans can meet their protein needs if they eat a variety of protein-containing foods throughout the day. Con -- Plant proteins are generally lower quality and less digestible than animal- based proteins. Vegan children may need to eat 20 percent to 30 percent more protein than nonvegans.
