In October 2000, over 250 senior decision-makers and leading practitioners from over 50 countries, representing all regions of the world, gathered in Montreal, Canada for the International Pollution Prevention Summit. The Summit provided an opportunity for national and regional roundtables to explore how pollution prevention could be better understood and implemented as a result of roundtables working together and in partnership with other organizations and agencies. Outcomes from the Summit included action plans for fostering change, expanding education and awareness, financing and national-level policy development. The Summit also resulted in the launch of the Global Information Network, a cross-regional program linking innovation, ideas, practitioners and decision-makers. The strategic alliances and broad-based partnerships that were developed at the Summit are now driving the on-going follow-up activities. 2, record 7, English, - International%20Pollution%20Prevention%20Summit

Le Sommet a produit des résultats concrets, notamment des plans d'action sur divers thèmes (promotion du changement, développement de l'éducation et de la sensibilisation, financement, formulation de politiques au niveau national). Il a également mené au lancement du Réseau mondial d'information, un programme transrégional reliant l'innovation, les idées, les praticiens, et les décideurs.

In the late 1970's, a group of molecules called ’conjugated linoleic acids’(CLA) were found to prevent selected cancers. They are fatty acids, are quite similar in structure, and are derived biologically from a very common fatty acid, linoleic acid. The CLA family can also be synthesized in the laboratory from vegetable oils, offering an opportunity for increased utilization of agricultural lipids. It is now known that the effects of dietary CLA include not only cancer prevention but also prevention of Type 2 diabetes, reduced fat production with increased muscle production, and decreased atherosclerosis. 1, record 13, English, - conjugated%20linoleic%20acid

Une substance présente dans le lait pourrait prévenir efficacement le cancer, l'artériosclérose, le diabète et même l'obésité! Cette substance miracle, c'est l'acide linoléique conjugué (ALC), une sorte d'acide gras présent en assez faible quantité dans le lait naturel, puisqu'il ne représente que 0,5% de tous les acides gras du lait. 1, record 13, French, - acide%20linol%C3%A9ique%20conjugu%C3%A9
