Genetic Research Sheds New Light On Milk And Risk Of Renal Cell Cancer
While previous research had suggested that drinking milk was related to factors that may increase the risk of renal cell cancer, results of a recent study exploiting the genetic contribution to variation in milk consumption suggest that this may not be the case.”The data in this study provide no concrete evidence of a need to alter milk drinking in any way,” said lead researcher Nicholas Timpson …

Fruits, Vegetables Offer Little Cancer Protection
Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is good for many reasons, but don’t expect it to offer much protection against cancer, according to a new study.

This finding by a team of biologists at Boston University is the first to link choline consumption during pregnancy to breast cancer. It also is the first to identify possible choline-related genetic changes that affect breast cancer survival rates.
“We’ve known for a long time that some agents taken by pregnant women, such as diethylstibesterol, have adverse consequences for their daughters,” said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of The FASEB Journal. “But there’s an upside. The emerging science of epigenetics has yielded a breakthrough. For the first time, we’ve learned that we might be able to prevent breast cancer as early as a mother’s pregnancy.”
