Cancer: The Scariest Thing This Side of Halloween

The Organic Consumers Organization website recently posted an article from LeMonde by one of the founding members of Doctors Without Borders. Dr. Servan-Schreiber is a cancer survivor, and states that at the current rate, 25% of French people will die of cancer. If that doesn't spook you haunted-house style, I don't know what will.

But there's good news. From Let's Stop the Cancer Epidemic:
Specific data now also exist showing that some foods, such as broccoli, cabbage, garlic, onions and curcuma, may help directly kill cancer cells and reduce the growth of the new blood vessels they need to develop threatening tumors.(emphasis added)


Eat better, people! Get some movement in! Sometimes, it's better to hear it from a foreign expert, rather than a Kellogg's commercial or a lobbying firm. The point comes across better.
