Cancer is on its way to supplanting heart disease as the № I killer in North America. In the United States, one out of every four people will contract some type of cancer. This year, some one million Americans will learn they have cancer, and it will kill some 600.000. Although the U.S. 'War on Cancer" was launched 27 years ago- in 1971- and some $37 billion have been spent, we are really no closer to finding a " cure" than we were in 1971. What cancer research and health and nutrition research have done, however, is preventing cancer- something that can be done through lifestyle.
An ancient disease
Cancer is old. There is evidence of tumors in dinosaur bones and Egyptian mummies. Healers commented on tumors as early as 1500 B.C., and Hippocrates gave cancer its name. The First " somewhat" reliable statistics on cancer, which showed a cancer death rate of 166 per million per year, were gathered in Wales and Scotland in the 1830s. By 1905, the rate had increased fivefold. Whether the cancer rate is increasing or decreasing has long been debated. In 1843, Stanislas Tanchou, a Parisian doctor, " proved" that cancer deaths had been increasing in Paris. In the same year, two other scholars joined Tanchou in proclaiming cancer on the rise. This spurred debate on whether cancer was a ''disease of civilization", because cancer is more prevalent in urban, " civilized" areas than in rural, " underdeveloped" areas. Causes of cancer were also of concern. In 1713, the Italian physician Berardino Ramazzini published an early treatise on occupational health that linked cancer to environmental concerns. Since then, suggested causes for cancer have included dietary insufficiency and excess, urbanization, affluence, sedentary lifestyle, shifts in climate, physical trauma, reversals of sex roles, changing morals, sexual abstinence and sexual promiscuity, the failure to breast feed, grief, ambition, anxiety, chemicals, parasites, spicy foods, water, petrochemicals, dyes, and trout streams.
1. Древняя болезнь Рак находится на пути к вытеснят болезни сердца, как я № убийца в Северной Америке. В Соединенных Штатах, один из каждых четырех человек будет контракт некоторых видов рака. В этом году, кто-то миллионов американцев будут учиться у них рак, и он будет убивать из 600.000. Хотя США " Война с Раком" был запущен 27 лет назад - в 1971 году и около $37 млрд были потрачены, мы не приблизились, чтобы найти " лекарство", чем мы были в 1971 году. Какие исследования рака и здоровья и питания исследований сделали, однако, является профилактика рака - то, что может быть сделано посредством образа жизни. Древняя болезнь Рак-старый. Есть свидетельства опухолей в кости динозавра и египетские мумии. Целители прокомментировал опухоли еще в 1500 г. до н.э., и Гиппократ дал рака его имя. Первый " не очень" надежных статистических данных о раке, который показал рак смертности 166 на миллион в год, собрались в Уэльсе и Шотландии в 1830-х годах. С 1905 года, ставка увеличилась в пять раз.
