John Verrall, a member of a government advisory committee, in Britain has defied an attempt to keep him from talking about his concerns on a potential link of cattle growth hormones to beast and prostrate cancer.
He noted the rate of breast cancer among women in the U.S. is 97 per 100,000. In Europe the rate is 67 per 100,000. Thats' a 31% differential.
Verrall's advisory echos that of Boston researcher Carlos Sonnenschein, from Tufts University School of Medicine. He said that hormone residues appear to be the most likely cause of the onset of early puberty in young girls in recent decades.
While this blog focuses on breast cancer. The rate of prostate cancer in men in the U.S. is 96 per 100,000 but only 37 per 100,000 in Europe, according to Verral. A 61% difference in prostrate cancer rates of America over Europe! Kinda makes me wonder about the t-bones on the bbq.
My Dad fought prostrate cancer, he is now 76 and healthy.
