Dr. Ralph Moss Report here
For over two decades, Ralph W. Moss Ph.D., has been an outstanding journalist in the field of cancer. From 1974 to 1977, he was science writer (later assistant director of public affairs) at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Since being fired for "whistle blowing," he has written ten books which have helped define the field of alternative medicine (Cancer Therapy, The Cancer Industry, Questioning Chemotherapy, Herbs Against Cancer, etc.). Many consider him one of the world's leading authorities on alternative and complementary approaches to cancer. Famed physician and author Dr. Julian Whitaker has said that if he had cancer he would turn first to Dr. Moss.

One-third of cancer deaths is caused by a variety of dietary factors. here
U.S.
Department of Health and Human ServicesPublic Health Service National Institutes of
Health: "About one-third of all cancer deaths may be related to what we eat.
Making positive choices in your diet every day promotes good nutrition and good health and
may reduce your risk of some types of cancer." here

Study in
Finland Suggests Vitamin E Prevents Prostate Cancer here
"The latest analysis from a large prevention trial conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Public Health Institute of Finland, shows that long-term use of a moderate-dose vitamin E supplement substantially reduced prostate cancer incidence and deaths in male smokers. "

"Diet is being studied as a risk factor for breast cancer. Studies show that in populations that consume a high-fat diet, women are more likely to die of breast cancer than women in populations that consume a low-fat diet."
- Prevention of
colorectal cancer here
- Lines: 219, Size: 8 kbytes, Type: HTML file
"Diet appears to be associated with colorectal cancer risk. Among populations that consume a diet high in fat, calories, and alcohol and low in calcium and dietary fiber, colorectal cancer is more likely to develop than in populations that consume a low-fat, high-fiber diet. A diet high in saturated fat combined with a sedentary lifestyle may increase the risk of colorectal cancer."
What are the major diet and activity factors that affect risks for the 7 most common cancers?
"Diets high in fat and red meat have been associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer. "
"Diets high in foods from plant sources (vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans) have been associated with a decreased risk of this cancer. "
Liver
and Intrahepatic Bile Duct - U.S. Racial/Ethnic Cancer Patterns - 1988-1992 here
"Certain liver parasites are recognized risk factors for this type of liver cancer, especially in parts of southeast Asia."
- Artificial
Sweeteners here
- "Data from epidemiologic studies do not provide clear evidence of an association between artificial sweeteners and human cancer, nor do they conclusively rule out such a possibility. Interest in whether such an association exists developed when early studies showed that cyclamate, one of several types of artificial sweeteners, caused bladder cancer in laboratory animals.
- During 1978 and 1979, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and FDA conducted a population-based study on the possible role of saccharin in causing bladder cancer in humans. In general, people in the study who used an artificial sweetener had no greater risk of bladder cancer than people in the population as a whole. However, when only the data for heavy users were examined, there was some suggestive evidence of an increased risk, particularly in persons who consumed both diet drinks and sugar substitutes and who used at least one of these two forms heavily. In the study, which included a large number of elderly people, heavy use was defined as six or more servings of sugar substitute or two or more 8-ounce servings of diet drink daily. "
