Survey Invitation -- Cancer and Nutrition: Use of Diets and Supplements

I am posting the following information for a colleague who is currently doing this survey as part of classwork for her Master's degree at New York University. I completed the survey myself (it takes only ~5 minutes), and I encourage you to do so also. In addition, I encourage you to pass along this information to other listservs, blogs, email or any other way you would like to share the information.
