Ganmaa Davaasambuu is a physician (Mongolia), a Ph.D. in environmental health (Japan), a fellow (Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study), and a working scientist (Harvard School of Public Health). On Monday (Dec. 4), she drew on all those roles during a lunchtime talk to most of her fellow fellows. Ganmaa's topic was lunch-appropriate: the suspected role of cow's milk, cheese, and other dairy products in hormone-dependent cancers. (Those include cancers of the testes, prostate, and breast.) The link between cancer and dietary hormones - estrogen in particular - has been a source of great concern among scientists, said Ganmaa, but it has not been widely studied or discussed.

UNZA researcher attributes increase in cancer in Zambia to consumption of foods that contain soya
 From Lusaka Times

A researcher from the University of Zambia School of agricultural sciences has attributed the increase in breast and cervical cancers in Zambia to consumption of foods that contain soya.

The researcher has further disclosed that soya foods are leading to the development of other non communicable diseases such as leukemia, high blood pressure and diabetes.

Martin Sampa made the revelation on Friday when he appeared before the parliamentary committee on health, community development and social welfare which is looking at breast, cervical cancer and diabetes in Zambia.

(NaturalNews) For the past several years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has been actively promoting the shingles vaccine as the solution to what some experts say is a building shingles epidemic. But a new study published in the German medical journal Der Hautarzt, or "The Dermatologist" in English, has revealed that the childhood vaccine for chicken pox, a common viral disease related to shingles, may actually be directly responsible for triggering this epidemic.

Dangers of Fluoride
By Fluoride Action Network
On January 25, 1945, Grand Rapids citizens became the first human guinea pigs to see what would happen to them when their water supply had untested sodium fluoride chemicals added. The experiment failed; but politics pushed it ahead, anyway. Politics, appeal to authority and slick expensive PR keeps fluoridation alive today even though science says it is ineffective at reducing tooth decay, harmful to health and a massive waste of money. New York – January 25, 2013 -- Sixty-eight years ago while experimental trials were still underway, public water supplies were dosed with fluoride chemicals promising to safely reduce tooth decay, put dentists out of business and save millions of dollars on dental care. Current science tells us none of that came to pass; but fluoridation is still celebrated as if it did, reports the Fluoride Action Network (FAN).

Paul Connett, PhD, FAN Executive Director says, "The fluoridation experiment has been an abject failure. Public health officials have abandoned their duty to protect health and have forfeited their integrity by ignoring growing science showing fluoride has the potential to harm health.

Here’s some of what’s occurred since 1945:
