bones, so they become more and more fragile and
likely to break (Osteoporosis 2). The disease
causes brittleness in the spine, wrists, and hips.
Bones become weak because of bone loss. Bone loss
is when you are losing some of the material that
makes up your bones, which causes a loss of bone
density and thickness. Bone density is what makes
your bones strong and less likely to break. If not
prevented or left untreated, osteoporosis can lead
to bon...

Lung cancer is not just one disease but rather a
group of diseases. All forms of cancer cause cells
in the body to change and grow out of control.

called a tumor. Cells from the tumor can break
away and travel to other parts of the body where
they can continue to grow. This spreading process
is called metastasis. When cancer spreads, it is

knowledge of living in a lavatory. So...
