Bur it wasn’t clear whether this is due to reduced oxygen levels at high altitude or because their mothers are under-nourished — many people who live at high altitudes are relatively poor compared with those living lower down.
To find out more, Dino Giussani and his team at Cambridge University studied the records of 400 births in Bolivia during 1997 and 1998. The babies were born in both rich and poor areas of two cities: La Paz and Santa Cruz. La Paz is the highest city in the world, at 3.65 kilometers above sea level, while Santa Cruz is much lower, at 0.44 kilometers.

[单项选择]Women who always or mostly eat organic foods grown without pesticides are no less likely to develop cancer than women who eat a more conventional diet, according to a recent study conducted by Cancer Research UK scientists.
These researchers commented that the results were "particularly relevant" given that health concerns have been identified as the primary motivation for consumers’ purchase of organic food. Professor Tim Key said: "We don’t see any difference in the total risk of any type of cancer, depending on whether people said they choose organic food. It’s a very large study so the overall result is very reliable."
Past studies have inconclusively suggested that pesticides could increase the risk of cancer. Pesticides are widely used in agriculture, although there are limits to the amount of residue (残留物) that can be present in food.
The researchers asked around 623,080 women aged 50 or over about whether they ate organic foods, and then tracked the development o
