  4. More Reasons to be Feared • Significant weight loss • Significant muscle loss • Changes in physical appearance • Loss of hair • Severe episodes of pain • Decreased intellectual functioning • Memory loss • Profound personality changes • Near delirium

  5. Two Standard Approaches to Prevent Cancer Complications and Death • Know and Act on the Seven Cancer Warning Signs • Know and Undergo the appropriate Screening Tests

  6. Cancer Warning Signs • A change in bowel or bladder habits • A sore that does not heal • Unusual bleeding or discharge • Thickening of a lump in the breast or elsewhere • Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing • Obvious change in a wart or mole • Nagging cough or hoarseness

  7. American Cancer Society’s Recommended Screening Tests • Digital rectal exam • Stool slide test, for microscopic blood • Sigmoidoscopy, preferably flexible • Blood PSA test for men

  8. American Cancer Society’s Recommended Screening Tests for Women • Pelvic exam and Pap smear • Self breast exam • Breast physical exam • Mammogram

  9. Is Knowing and Following the Cancer Warning Signs and Undergoing Screening the Best Way to Prevent Cancer? • Most cancer deaths are prevented before cancer ever forms to begin with • By knowing and avoiding carcinogens • By boosting and maintaining the immune system

  10. The Number One Carcinogen

  11. Lip Mouth (oral cavity) Throat (pharynx) Voice box (larynx) Trachea (wind pipe) Esophagus Kidney Cervix Leukemia The Number One Carcinogen Lung Liver Pancreas Bladder Colon Stomach Skin Penis

  12. Alcohol • Causes 75% of all esophageal cancers • Causes 50% of all mouth cancers • Causes 50% of all larynx cancers • Causes 30% of all liver cancers • Increases risk of colon and rectal cancer • Increases risk of breast cancer • 11% of all cancer deaths or up to 60,000 deaths per year related to alcohol

  13. Coffee Use and Cancer Mortality risk ratio bladder cancer for men Non coffee users = 1 2+ cups/day = 2

  14. Coffee Use and Cancer Mortality risk ratio bladder cancer for men Non coffee users = 1 2+ cups/day = 2 Caffeine is a co-carcinogen Caffeine is linked to cancers of the kidney, breast, colon, pancreas and ovary

  15. Theobromine Increases Prostate Cancer Risk

  16. A Dangerous Carcinogen in Charcoal-Broiled Meat } { = Benzopyrene in 2 lb. Charcoal-broiled steak Benzopyrene in smoke from 600 cigarettes

  17. Cancer, Genetics or Diet?

  18. Dietary Fat and Breast Cancer Deaths

  19. Prostate Cancer Deaths in Japan

  20. What a Low Fat Diet does to Precancerous Skin Lesions Number of Lesions On low fat diet (21% or less calories from fat) On average diet (approx. 39% calories from fat)

  21. Meat Use and Breast Cancer Risk

  22. Meat Increases Colon Cancer Risk Frequency of eating beef, pork, or lamb Colon cancer risk, percent increase Less than once per month 0 Once per month to once per week 39 Two to four times per week 50 Five to six times per week 84 Daily or more 149

  23. Biomagnification of DDD Insecticide Sample Site DDD, ppm Lake water 0.02 Phytoplankton (living in DDD-contaminated water) 5 Herbivorous fish (they eat the phytoplankton) 40-300 Carnivorous fish (they eat the herbivorous fish) up to 2500 In parts per million (ppm) in Clear Lake, CA

  24. DDT Analyzed in the Breast Milk of Human Mothers • Vegetarians with significant levels--8% • Meat Eaters with significant levels--99%

  25. Saturated fat Nitrosamines Excessive iron Toxins: Benzopyrene (from cooking) PCB, DDT, DDE Saturated fat Toxins Viruses Coffee Excess sun exposure Asbestos Wood dust Excess sugar in the diet Genital powder and genital deodorant sprays Summary List of Cancer-Causing Agents Tobacco Alcohol Eggs, milk, cheese: Excess Fat Meat:
