Hope a hero was born way before 2008.

I just saw "I Am Legend". It was interesting at the beggining of the movie when they interview the woman who found a cure for cancer.

happy holidays!!

I remember once as an adolescent, reading the back of a 2-liter bottle of orange soda, and it said something like "this product has been shown to cause cancer in lab rats". After that i stopped drinking orange soda.

i also remember when not long ago bags of M&Ms carried the pink ribbon pledging to 'fight' breast cancer and a friend insisted it would be good for all of us to eat more M&Ms. In case you are not aware, artificial food colorings (red #7, blue #4 etc.) have also been shown to cause cancer in lab animals. (perhaps it was the orange coloring of the orange soda, now that i think of it .. )

be careful what you ingest, what you 'consume', and what is in every consumer product that you use. mankind has invented tens of thousands of synthetic chemicals that never before existed on this planet. most types of cancer are the result of what we call 'carcinogens'. there is no real 'cure' for cancer while we simultaneously continue to increase the number of carcinogens into our environment each year. this is my belief.

when people say they want to fight cancer how many say, "i will no longer pay for products that contain known carcinogens or support the companies that make them"? so you see you can be a hero too, by educating yourself and your families and friends and voting with your wallet.

Our body is constantly attacked by multiple cancerogenous substances, 24/7. If our body didn't have adequate defense mechanisms like DNA repair, antioxidants, immune system etc, it would be only a matter of days for a tumor to evolve. New cancer cells are evolving daily in our body, but our body fights back and destroys them. If the defense fails at some point for some reason, then the cancerous cell quickly multiplies into a mass of cells and a tumor is created. The fact is that theoretically it's a matter of time for everybody to get cancer. Some will get it at the age of 20, some 50, some 70, some 120 etc. The ones who die of "natural" causes at old age, are just "lucky" because they happened to die before they got cancer.

There are many things that we can do th prevent(or more correctly, delay) cancer.
1. Stop smoking(I should too). Smoke contains too many cancerogenous substances.
2. Prevent vitamin deficiency -with a balanced diet. If you can't do it, take quality vitamin supplements.
3. Junk food(artificial, fried etc) - main cause for stomach and intestine cancer
4. Avoid alcohol abuse - one of the main causes for many cancers
5. A tip: Buy Selenium+Vitamin E supplements - this is by far one of the best antioxidant combinations that strengthen our body's defense system against cancer. It also prevents cardiovascular diseases like arteriosclerosis. A must for smokers.

too much of anything is not good;) with vitamins, (especially D,E,K,A) you should always stick to the recommended daily allowance

I did come across a similar study to the one you mentioned btw, but it was not related to cancer. It said that intake of high doses of Vit. E for a prolonged period of time is associated with a higher risk of death - this is probably due to the fact that vitamin E (and the rest of the fat soluble vitamins - D,K,A) is toxic. Normal daily dietary intake is about 10IU, multivitamin pills usually contain somewhere around 30IU. The recommended daily allowance is 15IU. There are however pure vit E supplements that contain as much as 400 or even more IU. Taking such an overdose is indeed very dangerous for your health. Sticking to the recommended daily allowances as much as possible is the best you can do for yourself.

Another study showed that a low dose of 50IU/day(+200mg Selenium) for 5 years decreases prostate cancer incidence in smokers

There will be a cure for cancer, it's just a question of when.

The best thing you could do is to stop smoking ;)

I take Jamieson vitamin e suppliment that contains 400UI every day. I never would of thought they would sell it such high doses if its unhealthy to take that much. I think the lowest they sell is 200UI.
