Protect Our Kids
What you don’t know about hot dogs could kill you. This Cancer Project commercial is based on a 2007 report from the American Institute for Cancer Research. The report concluded that hot dogs and other processed meats are a convincing cause of colorectal cancer. The risk increases by 21 percent for every 50 grams of processed meat consumed daily. A 50-gram serving is approximately the size of a typical hot dog. Learn more at www.CancerProject.org.

Second in my cancer series.
No gruesome pictures here, and no prevention tips either, not in the video. The subject is too large to fit into a 10-minute video. Instead, I’ve provided some information on slides to remind you of the scope of the cancer plague in the USA. My *real* tips for cancer prevention can be found in this text blog:

Warning: it’s pretty long. If you go there with 5 minutes to spend, you’ll come away frustrated.
Comments on the text blog are welcome.

The approval of the artificial sweetener aspartame (E951) was the most contested in FDA history. The approval was not based on scientific grounds but was due to heavy political and financial pressure.
Aspartame was ‘discovered’ in 1965 by Searle, a Chicago drug company. The FDA finally approved aspartame in 1981, even though scientific research had clearly shown that aspartame caused brain cancer in lab animals.
The tests Searle used to determine the safety of aspartame were severely flawed. Searle used unscientific lab practices, falsified data and withheld crucial information during the FDA approval process.
Because aspartame caused brain tumors in lab animals, it poses a real cancer risk to humans as well. Cancer is increasing in western countries and will soon be the leading cause of death.
Aspartame (E951) is now used in more than 6000 products and millions of people worldwide use the sweetener on a daily basis. In addition to

One of my friends works in the medical field, and he said that a little known fact about tobacco is that if you make tea out of the cured leaves it’s one of the most potent anti-cancer foods there is. Apparently it has even more cancer fighting antioxidants than pomegranate juice, plus it’s rich in B vitamins. Has anyone else heard this?
In medieval times, most herbs would be used only for a few conditions in which it was deemed effective—not for a vast range of disorders from head lice to hemorrhoids, from hysteria to tetanus, as happened with tobacco. Secondly, writings on this subject commonly imply that nicotine is the only active medicinal constituent, yet the various species of Nicotiana contain many other alkaloids. Thirdly, the leaves and juice were
