HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1982-04-14, Page 15lecturer explains causes and development of cancer cells Mrs. Eileen Gottschalk of Kirkton continued her series of lectures at the "For Goodness Sake" store in Grand Bend last Monday night on the sub,iwt of cancer. A simple definition of ,cancer is abnormal cells travelling through the body. How do cells become cancer cells? The initial step is contact with a carcinogen and this gives rise to a small population of tumor cells. The next step is for these cells to be exposed to a form of pro- moter, like cigarette smoke and pollution. The structural strength of the intercellular matrix is the first barrier to malignancy and this is accomplished by getting the right amount of nutrients. According to statistics 50 percent of cancer are diet related, one to five percent occupational, 10 to 15 percent leukemia and 21 per- cent life style. Research has shown that environmental factors (not genetic or viral) are respon- sible for a high proportion of human cancer. Dietary factors of impor- tance in cancer causation and prevention are many. Ad- ditives, contaminants and food substances can act as promoters of the carcinogenic process. Nutrient deficiencies also make cells more vulnerable to environmental car- cinogens, inhibit cells from carrying out their normal functions and divert them to multiply; it also prevents the immunological system from destroying cancer cells.

Food contaminants are in- volved like mould which grows on peanuts, or nitrites and amines (e.g. a glass of beer and sausage eaten together forms carcinogenic nitrosamines in stomach and intestine.) This reaction between nitrites and amines can be in- hibited by Vitamin C. Cabbage, brussels sprouts, turnips, broccoli and cauliflower activate detoxification systems which can destroy carcinogenic substances. Three of the common human cancers arise in tissues whose growth and function are regulated by hor- mones: the breast, the pro- strate, and the lining of the uterus. Synthetic estrogens, obesity and chlorinated insec- ticides have shown to in- crease cancer risk of these organs. Zinc deficiency is one ex- ample that can cripple the im- munological system which is important for attacking disease; perhaps other dietary deficiencies are also reponsible.

Residents who do not receive a questionnaire by mail, or would like additional information, may obtain the forms and further information from, Louise Clipperton, Clerk -Treasurer, Grand Bend, Ontario. After it receives the results of the survey in- dicating a need for a specific number of units, a municipality may: - Develop an assisted and market rental hous ing project•on its own through a municipal non-profit housing agency; - Ask the Ministry of Housing to seek private sector involvement to secure units under the Rent Supplement Program or Private Assisted Rental Program; - Encourage the creation of a local non-profit group - community, labour or service club organization, for example - to develop a non-profit housing project.
