CAUTION - PHONE SCAM Mohave County -
If it sounds too good to be true, it might be another phone scam. MCSO is warning area residents of a caller with a credit card offer who has fleeced a number of locals already.

The caller claims that the company behind the credit card offer is based out of St. George, Utah.
The incident is believed to be an attempted scam, and the Mohave County Sheriff's Office cautions residents about giving out personal information. If you believe you have been the victim or attempted victim of a fraudulent scheme, contact the sheriff's office.

BREAST CANCER PREVENTION TIP -
Diet and nutrition can affect your risk of breast cancer, especially if you have a family history of the disease. Try incorporating the following into your diet and life:
Keep your fat content low. Below 25 percent of your daily calories is ideal. Avoid animal fats, polyunsaturates (many vegetable oils) and hydrogenated oils (margarines and vegetable shortenings) - all can increase cancer risks. Use healthy fats: monounsaturates such as olive oil, freshly-ground flaxseed and oily fish such as salmon and sardines (which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids) may reduce your risk of breast cancer. Include soy products in your diet. Soy foods contain many cancer protective substances, including isoflavones. Try to eat one to two servings of soy-based foods a day. Avoid alcohol. Alcohol consumption, even in modest amounts, is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Minimize your consumption of ordinary meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products. Replace with organic, hormone-free versions, or cut way down on animal foods. Eat more fruits and vegetables! They contain many different cancer-protective phytochemicals.
