Norwegians Best at Surviving Cancer
Norway is currently the world’s best when it comes to the amount of patients surviving cancer, according to a new report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Cervical cancer in particular puts Norway in the lead for survival rate. Breast cancer patients also have a good outlook as Norway is number one in Europe and number four worldwide. With colon cancer, Norway is third in Europe and seventh in the world.
There are several reasons for the good survival rates – better medication, better treatment methods, faster diagnosis, and good opportunities for discovering cancer in an early stage through mammography and pap smears.

from L-Jay:
The Norwegian diet is full of cream, cheese and salami. It is a myth that Norwegians eat well. They may have before ‘convenience’ when seal and whale was in abundance but nowadays they fry up fish cakes. The only thing that is stopping Norway becoming like the US is that it has no KFC (yet)…lol. This is harsh but it is true.
