If anyone suggested to the majority of Americans that smoking, and second-hand smoke, were the predominant causes of lung cancer they would double over in hysterical laughter—that is if the year were 1950. If anyone suggests to the majority of Americans, today, that meat, fish, diary, and eggs are predominant cause of cancer and degenerative diseases, they would double over in hysterical laughter. When it comes to diet the year is 1950.
We have come to think of cancer as a mysterious, random occurrence, striking anyone, at any age, at any time, spreading at will—a shadowy dark phantom floating through the air attaching itself to 1.3 million Americans every year killing more than half a million. Do we really have a runaway demon on our hands or have we grossly misjudged the disease? Unfortunately, due to psychological, sociological, political, and commercial influences, we have been blinded from seeing the truth.
Our body is too fine a machine to go reeling out of control, killing an American once every minute, due to cancer, without a logical and sound reason. Something has to initiate the cancer and something has to promote its growth.
