Sincerelv, Grace Mevers Guca't editorksl Canc-er is linJ EDITOR'S NOTE, April is Cancer Month, and a couple of recent deveiop- ments in cancer reasearch arc worth noting at this time. A iead story in the National Enquirer of April 4 says that the 'addition of seleniumn to one's diet helps prevent 10 of the înost common forms of cancer, according to Dr. Gerhard Schrauzer, professor of cheniistry at the University of California at San Diego N1e cdaims that foods rich in selenîuni, including fish, seafood, liver, kideny, onions, garlic, mushrooms, eggs, whole wheat bread and whoie wheat' cereals will cut cancer cases by 80 to 90 per cent.. Last week the National Cancer Institute of Canada announced it wvill disttibute $1 1,063,332 for research a- cross the county in 1978, for projects including studies on cancer causing agents in the envirounent, and cancer caused froni chemnicals. Dean J. Kelly, a nutritionist and frequent correspondent to the Free Press, bas expressed conceru that none of this mo)ney bas gone into the study of cancer and food. Two years ago Mr. Kelly wrote the following article about cancer being linked to diet, and mentioned the use of seleniuni. The following are bis commrents on the subject: CANCER LINKEI) TO DIET Dy DEAN J. KELLY New evidence by cancer specialists lu a 300-page report are finding increasing evidence that ingredieiÉts in our daily diet may be causing haîf of ail cancers in womnen and 30 per cent of those among mnen. ÃA cancer epidemic has exploded -i the United States! Cancer death rate for the first 7 months of this year jumped tu 5.2 per cent. The normal rate is onlv 1 ver cent a year for ked'to de a the last 30 years. Metropolitan Insurauce Company re- ported an alarming 6 per cent increase lu first 6 months of 1975, and a 7 per cent jump lu deaths from lung cancer for the first half of the year. The journal Cancer Research suggests that nutritional factors. . inlucuding diet high lu animal fat, excessive aicohol lutake, deficiencies lu Vitamin A and Ç certain food addi- tives and contamineuts lu food. . .are related to the develop- -ment of cancer of the colon, stomach, esophagus, breast, liver and uterus. Supporting the theory was a report by Dr. Ernst Wynder, Presédent'of the Amnerican Health Foundation lu New York who lead a symposium on Cancer and Nutrition sponsored by the National Cancer Institute and the Arnerican Cancer Society. His report lucludes cancers of the kidney, bladder, pancreas and prostate, and possibly leukemia wbich may be directly or indirectly related to nutrition. Dr. Wynder said that "Dietary deficieucies lead to biochenical abuormalities which lu turu may imitate cancer proces3es."' Largeiy on the basis of epidemiological evidence, nutri- tion bas a profouud influence ou the pathogenesis (develop- ment) of a great variety of human cancers, Dr. Wynder said. Dr. John Berg of the University of Iowa toid the confer- ence that breast cancer is linked to a fatty diet in human studies and animai experimeuts. High fat diets have a 5 to 10 fold higher breast cancer rate than do people in countries where diets are low lu fat intake. It is thought the typical highly refmned north american diet overstimuiates the body's hormone system produciug what Dr. Berg termied "The sarne effect as running a diesel englue bighoctane airpiane fuel. MûeDeanKlly Moethan $50 million is spent yearly on cancer research ianattempt to ink viruses to cancer while virtually nothing has been spent on the effects of nutrition iu cancer prevei tiou. The results linking diet to cancer has fhmilly sparked invesitgpition into nutrition. . so long neglected. For years leaifing researchers lu nutrition have ciaimed a connection but few doctors would isten. It was too simple. Dr. Leo Freidman, toxicologist with the U.S. Food and Drug, Administration has repeatediy stated that "Chemicals are responsible for somne 90 per cent of the cancer iu mmn". Ralph Nadar resea rch group published a book. "The Chemi- cal Feast" on the subject wiiile other famous nutritionjsts« like Dr. Carlton Fredericks,,Dr. Roger J. Williams, (Nutri- tion against Disease), Dr. Curtis Wood Jr., Dr. Emmanuel Cheraskin, Adelle Davis, W. D. Currier, M.D., have ail warned repeatedly' that ceilular nutrition is natures way of protecting us férm fot only cancer but numerous diseases. Their pleas for research into this field went on deaf ears while hundreds of millions were poured luto the elusive virus theory~ Vitamins A and C meutioned lu the reot. alnne with scienluni (found lu bran, wheat 'germ, onion, broccoli, sardines, tuna) namred as inhibitors or canoer-causing sut> stances are well worth the srnali cost involved as a safeguard agamnst the most dreaded disease of al. .cxancer. P.S. There are over 400 chemicai food additives ap- piolved for use lu Canada today. The average Canadian consumes approximately 31bs. of these 400 chemicals a year. The average Canadian eats about 120 Ibs. of sugar a vear. Malnutrition in Ontario alune coats OHIP(youk>ne /tùo4'D? tOf/ WbE lE ~ETO// ? mmmft«%mmmý mmw
