How to avoid Cancer,,

bubble burster, sorry folks.

I must agree.

I couldn't make it too far through the OP.

A couple of things that jump out at me: "Cancer thrives on mucous-created by milk." WTF?! That is just crazy.

"Cancer cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment." Equally crazy.

I am not saying that eating healthier cannot benefit you, or that diet cannot be a factor..... But come on guys- do a little research. This OP is damn near 100% Art Bell crap.

For anyone who may possibly be interested in some truth:

Anyone remember biology? Some of this stuff was covered..... (And "cancer cells eat mucous" damn sure was not!)

-Besides-think about this stuff. There are so many different types of cancers, and so many ways they can grow and spread, that the word "cancer" may as well just mean "abnormal." The subject is way more complex that this junk science email implies.

agreed.
life expectancy in the 1920's Avg: 57 years
life expectancy in the 2000's Avg: 78 years

I realize there is not a simple correlation but it has grown by 20 years.

I know it is a little off-subject, but all these "documentaries" of junk science seem to fall into the same category. They take advantage of the fact that so few people have any damn ability to think critically anymore. I am not trying to throw stones at anyone here, because critical thinking is not taught in most schools anymore (or at least very few people have any experience with formal logic classes.)

It just saddens me that more people can't see all the logic fallacies and errors which are so apparent in both the OP and in "documentaries" like Food Inc. Logic is not common, and it isn't easy to learn. But once you have learned it, this kind of crap just leaps right out at you. Terrible "journalism" is really just propaganda. Real shame that more people can't see the difference.

If anyone here has access to a forma course involving logic, reason, and/or semantics-please take advantage. I took a couple of course over 20 years ago-and they still help me see straight through bull**** and propaganda with ease. Probably the most valuable courses I ever took.

Many forms of cancer are caused by viruses.

No matter what you eat, if the protease key fits the lock, the fuse is lit.

That right there. More specifically, it is spread by viruses.

Very good point.

(And if food actually "caused" cancer, then logically, every single person who ate that kind of food would come down with cancer. Also, no baby or small child who had never eaten any of those evil foods would have cancer.... And we all know that's not the case.)

I was vegetarian for about a year and I did feel a lot better. I eat meat sometimes now, mainly raw fish, or ribeye if I want steak. Why did I switch back to being a part time meat eater? Same reason a smoker keeps smoking I guess.

You can't be a vegetarian and have poultry and fish. I think you are reading a lil prejudice into that. No offense.

No problem. You appear very level headed and I appreciate the info you have provided.
