Have you Taken out Your Carbage?

[Guest guest]

Here's some excellent reading that modern medicine totally ignored....The

causation of almost all cancer (and degerative disease) has been known for 170

years! Everything here parallels exactly with WAPF, Paleo, Drs. Atkins, Mercola,

and Cowan, and what most of us believe!!

TAKING OUT THE CARBAGE– By Ballerstedt PeteB@...

A physician named Stanislas Tanchou studied the statistical distribution of

cancer. He documented evidence of increased malignancy with increased

civilization. One of the prime indicators of a civilizing trend was a diet that

included sugar and white flour. As their consumption increased, the incidence of

malignancy increased. Tanchou presented his complex statistical examination to

the Paris Science Society ... in 1843! Since then many physicians serving

varying populations throughout the world have documented the increased incidence

of " Western Diseases " (including cancer) as refined carbohydrate in the diet

increased. A cancer & #8208;avoiding diet would appear, therefore, to be one that

is low in refined carbohydrate.

Doll (the man that proved the link between cigarette smoking and cancer)

and Peto wrote in 1981:

At least 75 to 80 percent of cancers in the U.S. would be avoidable with

appropriate changes in diet and lifestyle.

Food additives, pollution and occupational exposures play a minimal role.

Diet plays the largest role – from 10 to 70 percent of all cancer.

Higginson, the first director of the World Health Organization's

International Agency for Research on Cancer, wrote:

" It appears that only a very small part of the total cancer burden can be

directly related to industrialization. "

It wasn't industrialization that introduced cancer and other Western Diseases to

populations, it was refined carbohydrates! It seems so clear, yet official

policy and legislation has been focused in other directions & #8208; in part

because of faulty science, and in part because of competing interests.

" If [environmentalists] could possibly make people believe that cancer was going

to result from pollution, this would enable them to facilitate the

clean & #8208;up of water, of the air, or whatever it is... to make cancer the

whipping boy for every environmental evil may prevent effective action when it

does matter. " & #8208; Higginson

One of the implied benefits of " organic " food is that consumers will reduce

their risk of cancer by consuming it. But if Tanchou and all the others are

right, it's " carbage " (organic or conventional) that poses the greatest risk for

cancer.
