Cancer - very rare in ancient times

Researchers have discovered that cancer was an extremely rare phenomenon in ancient Egypt.

Egyptians mummies demonstrated virtually no cancer when hundreds were checked for signs of tumours.

No reference to cancer in ancient texts of Egyptians or Greeks. Cancer references only became apparent when we reach the 17th and 18th century periods in time.

Cancer is a modern disorder it would appear.

The industrialisation of countries has brought about massive changes in diet, lifestyle and the exposure to pollutants.

Factors influencing rising cancer rates:

Vitamin and mineral deficiencies, particularly antioxidants. Fruit and vegetable consumption is far lower than it ever was in the past.

Chemical exposure. Man made pollutants, and additives to foods and drinks. Pesticides, nitrites, nitrates, sweeteners and colourings.

Electromagnetic pollution.

Eat organic, and eat more fruit and vegetables!
