Re: Everything is cancer causing..

[Guest guest]

Hehe... You can eat everything... Relax!

T., Alan Pater and Me did a discussion

on the CRSocietyList about this topic in dez/2002.

The conclusions we reach can be abstracted as folows:

1) Sunlight (UVA/UVB) is cancer causing in *HIGH*

quantitities. In very

low quantitities it acts as hormetics

and it is good.

2) Some foods like beets and carrots, contains chemicals

that cause cancer in rats but in HIGH quantities.

In low quantities it does nothing.

3) Sacharin and Sodium ciclamate cause cancer in rats,

but in HUGE quantities. 100 times more than a human

would consume. In small quantities it doesn't.

4) Concluding: Foods that cause cancer should be consumed

in very small quantities. Ironically the foods that are

claimed to be cancer causing are also high in calories,

and as we know calories are the enemy. Not fat, protein

or carbs ...
