"In her book The Truth About Breast Cancer, Claire Hoy states the following: Greenpeace found that one country that banned pesticides— Israel—quickly went from breast cancer rates that were among the highest in the world to rates in keeping with other industrialized nations. It also found that U.S. counties with chemical waste sites were 6.5 times more likely to have elevated breast cancer rates than those without waste sites." - C. W. Randolph, M.D., From Belly Fat to Belly FLAT: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life (Get the book.)

"The high amount of radiation in the targeted area caused a drastic increase in breast cancer rates 10 years after this method of monitoring began. History has many examples of how radiation use is strongly linked to an increase in cancer rates. Atomic bomb survivors in Japan have increased rates of leukemia and cancers of the breast, thyroid, lung, stomach and other organs, illustrating another example of how radiation causes cancer. In general, the breast, thyroid and bone marrow are most sensitive to the effects of ionizing radiation." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"In nine of the twelve largest statin studies that have reported cancer rates, there was a 3% increase in the development of new cancers overall in patients on statins above and beyond cancers developed by those on placebo. I added up the cancer rates reported in the major trials I reviewed above and found that patients taking statins have a 7% greater risk of cancer mortality than that of patients taking placebo." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"To the contrary, cancer rates increase with age, when our estrogen and progesterone levels are at their all-time low. The one study that fomented a great deal of fear about breast cancer and heart disease from hormone use was the WHI study, published in 2002. (This study and others are discussed in more detail in chapters 3 and 9.) What did the WHI study actually prove? Well, first you have to understand studies in general. For example, a recent study was published (by a man) supposedly proving that men are smarter than women." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"We see this data corroborated in world data for breast and prostate cancer rates in China, Japan, England, Scotland, and Canada (by the International Agency for Research), and in the U.S. (by the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results Program of the National Cancer Institute). Figure 15 illustrates that the lowest rates of breast and prostate cancer are consistently in China and Japan, where dairy and animal meat are rarely consumed." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"This drastic decrease in gastric cancer rates where there has been a decline in H. pylori infections is consistent with epidemiological links between gastic cancer and this bacterium. Consequently, H. pylori has been categorized as a carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. How does H. pylori cause cancer? Despite the direct causal relationships noted, researchers are not yet sure how H. pylori causes gastric cancer. There are two theories currently under investigation. First, H. pylori might increase the production of free radicals, which Are All H. pylori Strains Bad?" - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) "History has many examples of how radiation use is strongly linked to an increase in cancer rates. Atomic bomb survivors in Japan have increased rates of leukemia and cancers of the breast, thyroid, lung, stomach and other organs, illustrating another example of how radiation causes cancer. In general, the breast, thyroid and bone marrow are most sensitive to the effects of ionizing radiation. Avoiding unnecessary medical X-rays is one of the best ways to reduce exposure to ionizing radiation." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"At the end of the study, the researchers found no difference in cardiac events or lung cancer rates between the vitamin E and placebo groups. The researchers did not conclude that the vitamin didn't work, only that at this dosage in smokers it had no effect on new-onset cardiovascular disease and lung cancer. Yet evening news reports said that vitamin E was no more effective than placebo. Doctors used this study to discourage the use of vitamin E by their patients. Smoking depletes vitamin E in the body." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"The pollution situation is so out of control that in monitoring cancer rates in Philadelphia, one researcher was able to correlate the different rates and types of cancer in the population with the specific river the people lived near. According to Steve Meyerowitz, in his book Water, the Environmental Cancer Prevention Center found that residents drinking from the west side of the Schuylkill River had 67 percent more deaths from esophagus cancer than those on the east side." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"It examined the incidence of heart disease and cancer rates in women on a low-fat diet, compared with women eating normally. All groups began by eating a diet with fat amounting to 35 to 38 percent of their total calorie intake. The low-fat group was asked to lower their fat intake to 20 percent of their total calories, but this was never achieved. At the end of the first year, the low-fat group was eating fat at a rate of 24 percent of their total calories, and by the sixth year this had expanded to 29 percent." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"But do not equate these synthetics with natural hormones, and disregard the numerous studies of estrogen used alone (without synthetic progestins) and breast cancer rates. Bioidentical Hormones: Myth and Fact So we know from the mega-studies, discussed above, many things about synthetic hormones, but what about natural, bioidentical hormones such as the hormones that are normally circulating in you? Are they safe? Don't let anyone tell you that natural hormones are unproven, unsafe, uncontrolled, or unstudied. First of all, natural hormones have a great track record." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"While the study focused mainly on white Americans, the researchers found that the same geographical trend affects black or dark-skinned Americans, whose overall cancer rates are significantly higher. As explained earlier, dark-skinned people require more sunlight to synthesize vitamin D. The study showed at least 13 malignancies that are affected by a lack of sunlight, mostly reproductive and digestive cancers. The strongest inverse correlation is with breast, colon, and ovarian cancer, followed by tumors of the bladder, uterus, esophagus, rectum, and stomach." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Their skin cancer rates are higher, too. For example, the incidence of melanoma (skin cancer) on the Orkney and Shetland Isles, north of Scotland, is 10 times that of Mediterranean islands. UV light is known to activate an important skin hormone called solitrol. Solitrol influences our immune system and many of our body's regulatory centers, and, in conjunction with the pineal hormone melatonin, causes changes in mood and daily biological rhythms. The hemoglobin in our red blood cells requires ultraviolet (UV) light to bind to the oxygen needed for all cellular functions." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Interestingly, women who chose to go braless had the same breast cancer rates as men did! The Early Puberty and Breast Cancer Link Girls in the United States and other modern countries are reaching puberty at very early ages, which has been shown to increase their risk of breast cancer. Just decades ago, biological signs of female puberty—menstruation, breast development, and growth of pubic and underarm hair—typically occurred around 13 years of age or older. And in the early twentieth century it was more like 16 or 17. Today, girls as young as 8 are increasingly showing these signs." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "As it turns out, cancer rates are much lower in developing nations than in the U.S. The average American diet, consisting of very fatty, protein-rich, highly processed food items, has almost nothing in common with the diet typically consumed by folks in developing countries. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains still form the standard diet of people living in most developing countries, although the Western influence of bringing unnatural and fast foods into their towns and villages is now making its way into the eating habits of these populations." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Coffee and Green Tea Green tea is the most popular tea in China and Japan, where the lowest breast cancer rates are found. There are many health-promoting properties to green tea, and thousands of published studies verifying its benefits. Tea is generally high in antioxidants, but green is highest. Green tea is the least processed of all teas (green tea leaves are simply steamed). Oolong tea has some antioxidant effect, but lower levels than green tea, and black tea has the lowest levels of the three." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"If you are over age seventy, evidence from the PROSPER study I review on page 67 suggests that statins given even at normal doses increase cancer rates by 25% with no benefit for heart-disease prevention if you don't have a prior history of heart disease. For every hundred people known to have heart disease who take a statin for five years, three will die of a heart attack even though their cholesterol was lowered with a statin. Only one will be saved from dying of a heart attack. That translates into the much-vaunted 25% reduction in risk, based on "relative risk." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"Wouldn't it be nice if someday we would read about a scientific study that tracked a huge reduction in breast cancer rates because every woman in the United States augmented her body's progesterone level as soon as her hormone levels began to shift? cardiac health Bio-identical progesterone replacement is also good for heart health. Because heart disease is the number one killer of women in America, the effect of progesterone on cardiac health has been an area of extensive research." - C. W. Randolph, M.D., From Belly Fat to Belly FLAT: How Your Hormones Are Adding Inches to Your Waistline and Subtracting Years from Your Life (Get the book.)

"In the wake of this disturbing news, millions of women stopped taking hormones, and the New England Journal of Medicine published a population survey showing that in 2004 breast cancer rates dropped 9 percent. Then a prominent British study reported that women on HRT have twice the risk of developing dementia, which is a major concern for anyone beyond middle age. However, there are studies supporting the use of HRT for short periods during menopause. The only universal advice for menopausal women is to ask your doctor. Whatever the answer, the contradictions put many women in a painful bind." - John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.)

"If you get cancer you have a higher chance of dying of cancer than ever before in history. cancer rates continue to rise. Cancer fatalities continue to rise. The war on cancer has been a dismal failure. Over $250 billion has been spent on trying to allegedly prevent and cure cancer. How in the world can $250 billion be spent, yet cancer rates and fatalities continue to rise? The answer, in my opinion, is cancer is an industry. Billions of dollars in profits are made in the treatment and testing of cancer." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Colin Campbell, a Cornell nutritional biochemist who served on the panel, all of the human population studies linking dietary fat to cancer actually showed that the groups with higher cancer rates consumed not just more fats, but also more animal foods and fewer plant foods as well. "This meant that these cancers could *Sucrose is the exception that proves the rule. Only the power of the sugar lobby in Washington can explain the fact that the official U.S. recommendation for the maximum permissible level of free sugars in the diet is an eye-popping 25 percent of daily calories." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"CERVICAL DYSPLASIA OVERVIEW Over the past four decades, cervical cancer rates have dropped dramatically in most developed countries. This improvement in our health is attributable to the commonly available Pap smear, whereby early premalignant lesions can be found and treated, most often with fairly simple office techniques. Cervical cancer presently ranks third in cancer deaths of American women, although it remains the leading cause of death from cancer among women in developing countries who do not enjoy the same access to diagnosis and early treatment." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"This is just one of many studies linking specific water pollution to an increase in cancer rates. Medical science has discovered how sensitive the insulin receptor sites are to chemical poisoning. Metals such as cadmium, mercury, arsenic, lead, fluoride,51 and possibly aluminum may play a role in the actual destruction of beta cells through stimulating an auto-immune reaction to them after they have bonded to these cells in the pancreas." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Colon cancer rates in Asian countries are much lower than colon cancer rates in the United States and Europe. Since much of Asia drinks plenty of green tea, could this be one of the sources of the difference? The research data for assessing green tea's potential as a chemopreventive agent against colon and rectum cancer would benefit from more human studies, but the data available from animal studies are promising." - Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews, The Green Tea Book (Get the book.)

"Low breast cancer rates of Greek and southern Italian women may be attributed to the protective effects of these beneficial omega-3s. Conversely, in countries like Israel where people consume high amounts of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, found in safflower, corn, and other highly processed commercial cooking oils, high rates of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, and cancer are reported. Consuming the "good fats," such as those from wild fish and unrefined flaxseed and walnut oils, is critical for maintaining normal cell growth and reproduction." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"I added up the cancer rates reported in the major trials I reviewed above and found that patients taking statins have a 7% greater risk of cancer mortality than that of patients taking placebo. In one study of women, for whom evidence of the benefit from statins is not very strong, some particularly alarming results were twelve cases of breast cancer among those on statins vs. one in the placebo group. Some cancers can take up to twenty years to develop, so we don't know how many patients developed cancer after the five-year trial was finished." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "If you are over age seventy, evidence from the PROSPER study I review on page 67 suggests that statins given even at normal doses increase cancer rates by 25% with no benefit for heart-disease prevention if you don't have a prior history of heart disease.

"According to estimates from the American Institute for Cancer Research, if everyone ate at least five servings of vegetables and fruits per day, cancer rates could fall by as much as 20 percent. Scientists have been gaining ground on this complex disease; specifically, we have a much better understanding of how cancer cells grow. In a nutshell, cancer comes down to this: DNA (the set of genetic instructions that tells body cells how to reproduce and grow) takes little punches over the years, eventually becoming so damaged that normal cell growth morphs, becoming uncontrolled and abnormal." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.) "Grant, PhD, a researcher with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, who analyzed prostate cancer rates and diets in 32 countries. Daily intake of some vegetables (especially onions, leeks, and garlic) appears to help prevent prostate cancer as may cereals and grains, beans, and fruits. Lycopene, considered the most potent antioxidant in the carotenoid family, is by far the most well-known food substance to show a protective role against prostate cancer, notes Weldon.
