I agree that this may be a trend that would encourage me to stay GF. But you must realize that these numbers are a long, long way from being statistically significant. I don't know what rules of thumb the medical community applies, but I wouldn't give credence to these numbers until I saw about 500-1000 cases for each test group. I think these numbers do warrant a further study. Remember the power line/cancer "link" that was proposed several years ago. Andrew
