This book offers clear, accessible information on the causes of
cancer and the multiple ways people can reduce their risk for this
insidious disease. Like no other work, this much-needed volume
gathers the latest research and understanding about the causes of
cancer and methods of preventing the disease-and makes it all clear
and accessible to the general reader. Cancer Causes and
Controversies: Understanding Risk Reduction and Prevention
describes common risk factors associated with particular types of
cancer, including genetic predisposition, radiation and chemical
carcinogens, diet, hormonal factors, infection, and smoking. The
book then looks at the scientific evidence supporting the positive
role of healthy nutrition, exercise, and diet in lowering cancer
risk, as well as the dangers posed by a dysfunctional immune system
compromised by chronic infection, unhealthy lifestyles, stress, and
poor psychological health. Finally, the book provides an unbiased
assessment of a number of controversies surrounding cancer causes
and prevention, including screening and genetic testing, vitamin
supplementation, genetically modified foods, chemical food
additives, and cellular phones and deodorants as potential
cancer-causing agents. Primary source materials derived from
original scientific work including the National Resources for
Molecular Biology (National Center for Biotechnology Information
public database) and Cancer Research UK International scientific
manuscripts and reviews in the field of cancer research from peer
review journals Resources for more information on cancer (websites,
association, centers, books)
