>Epstein. In 1989, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC)
>announced that the residues of agricultural chemicals on fruits and
>vegetables eaten during a typical American childhood could be initiating
>between 5,500 and 6,200 cancers every year. NRDC found that the cancer
> risk could be as much as 6 times greater for children aged 1 to 5 than for
>adults. In light of these facts, a consortium of 75 EPA experts ranked
>pesticides residues among the top 3 environmentally derived cancer risks.

>THE PROBLEM WITH HORMONE ADDITIVES IN COWS MILK
>
>Insulinlike Growth Factor1 (IGF1) is produced normally by
>the cow’s pituitary gland. IGF1 circulates in blood to each cell
>in the body, coordinating cellular function. IGF1 regulates cell
>growth, division and differentiation, particularly in the young.
>High levels of IGF-1 in milk has been increasing linked to increased
>cancer in humans that consume milk and milk products (cheese, yoghurt,
>cottage cheese, etc.). However, in 1994, the chemical companies
>(Monsanto being largest producer) developed for the milk industry
>“Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone” (rHGH) which helps the
>cows to produce 20% more milk. However, the growth hormone also
>stimulates pituitary production of IGF1 levels in the milk of those cows.
>Recently, Eli Lilly & Co., a manufacturer of rBGH, reported a tenfold
>increase in IGF1 levels in cows receiving the hormone. IGF1 is the
>same in humans and cows, and is not destroyed by pasteurization. In
>fact, the pasteurization process actually increases IGF1 levels in milk.
>Furthermore, there is suggestive evidence that IGF1 in rBGH milk reacts
>more with the body than in nonhormonal milk.
>
>After the rBGH milk is consumed, IGF1 is not destroyed by human
>digestion. Instead, IGFl is readily absorbed across the intestinal wall.
>Additional research has shown that it can be absorbed into the blood
>stream where it can effect other hormones. The Cancer Prevention
>Coalition reports that, “it is highly likely that IGF1 promotes
>transformation
>of normal breast cellular activity to breast cancers. In addition, IGF1
>maintains the malignancy of human breast cancer cells, including their
>invasiveness and ability to spread to distant organs. (ICF1 has similarly
>been associated with colon cancer.) The prenatal and infant breast is
>particularly susceptible to hormonal influences. Such imprinting by IGF1
>may increase future breast cancer risks, and may also increase the
>sensitivity
>of the breast to subsequent unrelated risks such as mammography and the
>carcinogenic and estrogenlike effects of pesticide residues in food,
>particularly in premenopausal women.”
>
>In an attempt to help some people, milk producers that don’t use hormones
>are labelling their milk “hormone free”. Ironically, the U.S. Food and Drug
>Administration (FDA) is siding with the chemical industry and has prohibited
>dairy producers and retailers from labeling their milk as "hormonefree," The
>FDA states that such labeling could be "false or misleading" under federal
>law.
>
>The chemical company, Monsanto, has teamed up with the federal government
>and is suing several milk producers for using the label. Source,

>THREE THINGS YOU CAN DO TO IMPROVE YOUR MILK
>
>The Cancer Prevention Coalition recommends three things that you
>can do. (1) Do not buy or use milk from cows treated with rBGH.
>There are many brands without it, especially certified organic milk.
> (2) Contact your local supermarket and find out if they have a
>policy regarding rBGH and milk. Make clear that you would like
>rBGHfree milk available. And (3) write to Health Canada and the
>U.S. FDA and express your concern that they not restrict the
>labeling of rBGHfree milk. Source of this information is at the website

>HORMONE ENHANCER “DES” ASSOCIATED WITH RARE
>VAGINAL CANCER
>
>In 1971, the Food and Drug Administration told doctors to stop
>prescribing DES, or diethylstilbestrol, to expectant mothers as a
>treatment option for preventing miscarriages because a rare
>vaginal cancer called clear cell adenocarcinoma was occurring at
>unusually high rates in daughters of women who had taken the drug. 
>The disease most often struck at between 15 and 27 years of age. 
>New research presented last week at a National Institutes of Health
>meeting found that women who were exposed before birth to DES
>appear to have an increased risk of health problems throughout life,
>including occurrence of the cancer later in life, miscarriages, ectopic
>pregnancies,  stillbirths, premature births, and autoimmune diseases.
>Men exposed before birth to DES have an increased risk of genital
>malformations and, some studies suggest, testicular cancer. Two new
>studies in mice suggest that DES may affect future generations.

>FOOD ADDITIVES AND CANCER, THE HOTDOG
>
>Junk food, like hotdogs may well contribute to cancer. The Cancer
>Prevention Coalition (CPC) in Chicago reported that, “three different
>studies have come out in the past year, finding that the consumption
>of hot dogs can be a risk factor for childhood cancer. Peters et al.
>studied the relationship between the intake of certain foods and the
>risk of leukemia in children from birth to age 10 in Los Angeles
>County between 1980 and 1987. The study found that children
>eating more than 12 hot dogs per month have nine times the normal
>risk of developing childhood leukemia. A strong risk for childhood
>leukemia also existed for those children whose fathers' intake of hot
>dogs was 12 or more per month. Researchers Sarusua and Savitz
>studied childhood cancer cases in Denver and found that children
>born to mothers who consumed hot dogs one or more times per
>week during pregnancy has approximately double the risk of
>developing brain tumors. Children who ate hot dogs one or more
>times per week were also at higher risk of brain cancer. Bunin et.
>al, also found that maternal consumption of hot dogs during
>pregnancy was associated with an excess risk of childhood brain
>tumors.”
>
>The CPC further reported that, “hot dogs contain nitrites which are
>used as preservatives, primarily to combat botulism. During the
>cooking process, nitrites combine with amines naturally present in
>meat to form carcinogenic Nnitroso compounds. It is also suspected
>that nitrites can combine with amines in the human stomach to form
>Nnitroso compounds. These compounds are known carcinogens and
>have been associated with cancer of the oral cavity, urinary bladder,
>esophagus, stomach and brain”. Source website

>ADDITIVES IN CHICKENS AND TURKEY AND
>COLOUR ADDITIVES SUSPECTED

>Gentrian violet is a carcinogen used to treat chickens and turkeys
>for diseases caused by fungus. It is added to poultry feed to inhibit
>mold. Nitrofurans (nitrofurazone and furazolidone) are added
>to livestock feed to increase the growth rates, particularly of pigs,
>chicken and turkeys. Another additive, aldicarb, has been associated
>with altered immune functions in women who consume food
>contaminated with small amounts of this additive.
>
>Other food additives that may increase the risk of certain kinds of
>cancer include Blue Dye No. 2 (propyl gallate), and Red Dye No. 3
>used to colour meats, smoked meats, salami, bologna (etc.). According
>to Michael F. Jacobson, Ph.D., of the Center for Science and the

>THE DANGERS OF HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS
>
>Some chemicals found in the house can contribute to cancer. For
>instance, methylene chloride (also known as dichloromethane),
>the propellant used in many aerosol products, is carcinogenic.
>Although some products containing methylene chloride have been
>pulled from the market, this carcinogen continues to be found in many
>consumer products such as spray paint and stripper. More recently, it
>was learned that indoor latex paints used widely for decades contained
>highly neurotoxic mercurybased fungicides. But it was not until 1990
>that manufacturers finally removed most of these potent neurotoxins.
>The Cancer Prevention Coalition reports that long term exposure to
>indoor pollution can result in lung cancer, or damage to the liver,
>kidneys, and central nervous system. Certain cleansers and many brands
>of cat litter contain the carcinogen crystalline silica. Some car cleaning
>products contain formaldehyde.

>*********************************************************************
>
>SAFE ALTERNATIVES TO HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS
>
>Non carcinogenic alternatives are available. For example, Baking
>Soda is an excellent cleaner and deodorizer. Borax is an excellent
>disinfectant. Distilled White Vinegar is also safe and an excellent
>cleaner, available in both supermarkets and health food stores.
>Essential Oils distilled from plant oils, essential oils are less allergenic
>than synthetic fragrances. They add a pleasing fragrance to your
>cleaning formulas. Hydrogen peroxide is an alternative to bleach,
>available at supermarkets and drugstores. Lemon juice is an excellent
>cleaner, available in both health food stores and supermarkets. Liquid
>Soaps are an alternative to harsher detergents and other cleaning agents,
>available in health food stores and supermarkets. Pumice Stone is a
>good for stain removing. Sodium Perborate is an alternative to standard
>bleaches made with sodium hypochlorite. It is also an alternative to
>standard bleaches, available from chemical supply companies.
>
>Trisodium phosphate (TSP) is a powerful cleaning material, TSP can
>be irritating and caustic; it does not pose longterm health hazards
>such as carcinogenicity, neurotoxicity, or reproductive effects. Be
>aware that some products with the name TSP on their container do
>not actually contain Trisodium phosphate. Available at supermarkets,
>drugstores, and hardware stores. Washing Soda (also known as sodium
>carbonate, soda ash, and sal soda) is a strong cleaner, as an alternative
>to the chemical cleaners. Zeolite is a naturally occurring mineral which
>is an excellent deodorizer and available from G&W Supply, 1441, W.

>In 1999, one in two American men and one in three American women
>will get cancer. In the 1950s, one in four Americans were afflicted with
>this deadly disease. Despite the expenditure of $25 billion since the war

>soared. Why? In a recently released book, Dr. Samuel Epstein reveals
>evidence implicating industrial carcinogens that permeate our environment,
>in our foods, our air, our water, our consumer products. And he blames the

>Dr. Samuel Epstein points out, from 1950 to 1998, the overall incidence
>of cancer rose about 60 percent, with much higher increases for cancer
>of some organs. For nonHodgkins lymphoma and multiple myeloma,
>the increase has been 200 percent. Breast cancers have increased by 60

>increase is because the population is getting older these rates are age
>adjusted. The cancer rates of a group of 50 year old men in 1990, for
>example, are compared to the cancer rates of a group of men in 1950.
>Dr. Epstein asks, “why is the cancer establishment losing the war

>Many cancers in Ontario are on the rise, according to a new report,
>“Everyday Carcinogens, Stopping Cancer Before It Starts”, by Liz
>Armstrong, for the Canadian Breast Cancer Prevention Coalition,
>released March 26, 1999. The report was commissioned for a
>conference on cancer prevention in Hamilton, Ontario. According to
>the report, in Ontario there has been a 29% increase in breast cancer,
>a 106% increase in NonHodgkin's lymphoma, a 349% increase in
>women's lung cancer, a 116% increase in melanoma and a 146%
>increase in thyroid cancer for women in the past 30 years. For men,
>there has been a 102% increase in prostate cancer, a 273% increase in
>melanoma, a 115% increase in NonHodgkins lymphoma, a 65%
>increase in testicular cancer, and a 133% increase in thyroid cancer.
>
>"The problem is that these people are suffering from this disease,
>and often dying, unnecessarily," noted Dr. Sam Epstein, perhaps the
>world's most influential critic of cancer policy and the author of the
>book, The Politics of Cancer Revisited. "In Ontario, the focus is still
>on finding the cure rather than preventing this epidemic." Dr. Epstein,
>a Professor of Occupational Health and Environmental Medicine at
>the University of Illinois School of Public Health, stated that a
>significant number of cancers are attributable to environmental and
>workplace carcinogens and are therefore preventable. "Few Canadians
>in Ontario know that there has been an increase in many cancers that are
