European researchers pooled more than 100 studies and found up to one drink a day raised women's breast cancer risk by 4 percent, with three or more daily drinks raising it 40 to 50 percent. The authors advise women not to exceed one drink a day.

Vitamin C cuts Radiation-Induced Cancer Risk
Of 16 men who worked 5 to 6 weeks in a contaminated area at Fukushima, the four given intravenous vitamin C beforehand plus antioxidant supplements throughout showed no significant change in blood chemistry, free DNA or 47 cancer-related genes. Three who went without showed elevated risk.

Fasting helps fight cancer effectively
A review in Oncogene by Lee and Longo suggests fasting for up to five days, followed by a normal diet, may help cancer patients and protect them during chemotherapy without weight loss. The authors note fasting cuts glucose and IGF-1 by more than half in mammals.

This Popular Nut Slashed Breast Cancer Risk in Mice by 50%
Mercola reports the FDA warned Diamond Food that citing peer-reviewed research on the omega-3 fats in walnuts would make the nuts "new drugs" needing approval, and urges support for the Free Speech about Science Act (HR 1364), which would let producers cite legitimate studies.
Cancer
Five Ways to Reduce Your Risk of Colon Cancer
AICR's review of the evidence concludes 45 percent of US colorectal cancers are preventable through a mostly plant-based diet, a healthy weight and physical activity. Excess body fat showed one of the strongest links, and visceral belly fat raises risk independently of weight.
Diet
Fasting may help prevent dementia and cancer
Reports from Beijing say family doctors may come to recommend fasting two days a week. Researchers argue intermittent fasting, holding intake to 500-800 calories on fasting days, can deliver benefits similar to chronic caloric restriction, lowering a cancer-linked growth factor and blood fats.

Your Greatest Weapon Against Breast Cancer (Not Mammograms)
Mercola argues against routine mammograms, saying the Institute of Medicine now acknowledges mammogram radiation as a factor in breast cancer, citing false positive rates up to six percent, and pointing to research that 30 percent of breast tumours go away on their own.

Can Moderate Drinking Boost Breast Cancer Risk?
A JAMA study of 105,986 women in the Nurses' Health Study linked 3 to 6 drinks a week to a 15 percent higher risk of invasive breast cancer. The authors call it a small increase, tied most consistently to cumulative alcohol intake across adult life.

Breaking cancer news: Insulin therapy ups cancer risk
A University of Maryland dissertation analyzing 230,330 UK patients on antidiabetic therapy found insulin used alone associated with 88 percent higher pancreatic cancer risk, rising to 133 percent alongside oral agents. High HbA1c was tied to a 39 percent increase.
Vitamins
Research From 100 Countries Proves This Vitamin Strongly Protects Against Cancer
Dr. Mercola reports on a review of data from more than 100 countries in which higher solar UVB exposure consistently tracked with lower incidence of 15 cancers, with weaker evidence for nine more, and urges sun exposure or vitamin D3 plus blood testing to confirm levels.

Cancer news: Whole walnuts may help prevent prostate cancer
Mice on a high-fat diet containing whole walnuts had slower prostate tumour growth and lower tumour weight than controls on soybean-oil diets, plus lower prostate weight, IGF-1, resistin and LDL at 18 weeks, across a 24-week feeding study.
Phytochemicals
Chlorophyll can help prevent cancer - study
Oregon State researchers dosed 12,360 rainbow trout and found chlorophyll cut tumors at the modest carcinogen levels people actually encounter, but increased tumors at very high doses, a result that questions how rodent studies at high exposures are used.

Cancer screening causes cancer
Medical imaging is the largest man-made radiation source for the UK population, where CT scans doubled to 3.4 million a year and the mean dose per person rose 23% between 1997 and 2008. The author argues that proposals to screen healthy people with CT raise legitimate cancer-risk concerns.

Cancer News: Brain diseases, zinc deficiency, mammography, radiation and cancer
A roundup: a Harvard review finds Parkinson's and Alzheimer's have been linked to reduced cancer risk through shared biological pathways, and an Oncogene study reports rats given 21 weeks of zinc deficiency plus low-dose NMBA had a 66.7 percent chance of esophageal carcinoma.

10 tips for cancer prevention
A translated list of everyday cancer prevention tips. It opens with walking an hour a day, which it says research links to halved risk of pancreatic and colorectal cancer, and with airing rooms daily to clear radon and formaldehyde. The site notes the content is unverified.

Novel treatment for liver cancer
A reader's letter describing Chinese Academy of Sciences research on the iron chelator TSC24 against liver cancer, followed by the writer's own “ferromagnetic theory of cancer” and predictions about iron deprivation.

The Innocent Cooking Mistake that Could Cause Cancer
Ori Hofmekler summarizes experimental work suggesting proteins, carbohydrates and fats cooked at very high heat can promote colon cancer. Ultra-heating leaves protein less digestible, sending more to the large bowel, and cooking above 180C forms carcinogens such as benzopyrene and HCAs.

Milk boosts prostate cancer risk, studies suggest
Following 8,894 Icelandic men for 24 years, Johanna Torfadottir's team found men who drank milk daily as teenagers but stopped later were three times as likely to be diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. The study is observational and proves no cause.
