CAUSES OF CANCER: NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES AND EXPOSURE TO SUN
Nutritional Deficiencies
According to recent statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, about one half of all Americans suffer from various degrees of malnutrition and nutritional deficiencies. It has been shown in more than a hundred studies from around the world that almost any serious nutritional deficiency of one or more vitamins, minerals or other nutritive substances can lower the resistance to spontaneous cancer and increase the risk of contracting the disease. Thus, even a mild deficiency of Choline will produce cancer of the liver, Vitamin E deficiency increases the risk of contracting cancer and leukemia, deficiencies of various B-Vitamins result in liver damage which leads to malignancies, serious deficiency of the mineral zinc may lead to cancer of the prostate, Vitamin A deficiency breaks down the body’s defenses against most carcinogens and leads to tumour development, Magnesium deficiency is also linked to cancer development, as shown in studies conducted at the University of Montreal, in Egypt, and other places.
Exposure to Sun
Numerous studies have conclusively established that excessive and continuous exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays can cause cancer of the skin in some people. Rimless eyeglasses, which concentrate the sun’s reflections, are especially harmful and they can lead to skin cancer on the face.
