interesting reading but most of the information isn't new and these are only studies that can change tomorrow. I think, those of us who have experienced cancer in our family, ourselves or our close friends can honestly say, some of these hints go without saying, like the smoking and others probalby have little to do with our real risks. Most of us, who do develop cancer have family members who have had cancer..or, we know most of the steps suggested are common sense, like eating healthy foods, exercising, watching our weight, not using tobacco.
Read The China Study & similar books (Mad Cowboy is another good one and there are scores of others), where research is examined by legitimate organizations, which do their evaluations based on facts unrelated to the interests of the big meat and dairy companies. Over and over what is clearly indicated is that what we eat has more influence on cancer than anything else. A plant based diet is the answer to prevent cancer, heart disease, and a host of other problems which plague modern contemporary cultures.
The premise is that factory farming and what it's doing to the environment is not supportable. So a plant based diet is not only healthful to the individual, but also to the environment. (Not to mention the horrors the poor animals endure!!!)
[I would go further and even suggest, as one book does, that the reason our socieities are constantly at war, interally & externally, is because we're at war on our plates, in denial of the violence to animals our meat eating entails. This, one must at least admit, is an interesting idea, and I persoanlly think it has great merit.
Now, this has been going on for millennia, granted: that doesn't make it right. And it doesn't mean we can't change it. Personally, I think this is the next step for humankind. I think if (and this is a big "if") we survive the century's global warming, international atomic threat of war, and so on, this is the direction we will go.]
Yes, true for real lung cancers. Other cancers may appear in the lungs such as breast cancer, it's still breast cancer cells, not lung cancer cells. I have a friend who has had her breast cancer reappear but in the lungs and some of our friends are incorrectly stating she has lung cancer.
