The new celery, it turned out, contained eight times the amount of natural carcinogens present in common celery. According to Ames snd Gold, the exposure to regulation of carcinogens does little to advance public health. The US EPA estimates the cost to society of environmental regulations at about $140 billion a year. In other words, it costs more than $1,000 per household to protect people from exposure to synthetic chemicals that cause cancer in rodents. Citing another study. Ames suggests that the United States could prevent 60,000 deaths per year by directing the same dollars to more programs.

Lack of exercise, obesity end alcohol intake influence hormone levels and increase risk. Chronic infections cause about nine percent of cancer cases, mostly in developing countries. Cancer is also due in part to normal aging. The study rebuts some common misconceptions. For example, human exposure to carcinogenic pesticides is minuscule compared with the background of exposure to carcinogens produced by nature, some of them produced by plants themselves to protect against fungi, insects, and animal predators. The study also argues that reducing the use of synthetic pesticides may do more harm than good. Organic fruits and vegetables are more expensive, and higher prices may cause people to buy less produce. The study reports that among the quarter of the population with the lowest dietary intake of fruits and vegetables, the cancer rate is roughly twice that of the quarter with the highest intake. Abandoning the use of synthetic pesticides for organically grown crops, therefore, would likely cause cancer rates to rise. As an example of what else can go wrong, the study cites the follow- - The National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA), a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research institute the seeks private sector solutions to public policy problems, is the source of the following report entitled, Misconceptions About Environmental Pollution, Pesticides and the Causes of Cancer. According to a study published by the National Center for Policy Analysis, half of all chemicals scientists have tested whether natural or synthetic have been shown to cause cancer when given to rodents at very high doses. Authors Bruce Ames (wno developed the "Ames tests used to identify and Lois Gold (director of the Carcinogenic Potency Project at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences Center) point out that naturally occurring rodent carcinogens have been identified in a long list of ordinary food and drink, including lettuce and tomatoes; potatoes and corn; broccoli, cabbage, and peas; hamburgers; mange juice and chocolate milk; black pepper, wine and beer; and common tap water. Carcinogens also have been found in 49 percent of the prescription drugs that have been tested. Although Ames developed the test for potential carcinogens, he is now concerned that results from cancer tests that apply high doses to animals are misleading! and that cancer scare stories cause avoid items ranging from apples to soft drinks. The biggest cancer risks come not from pesticides and food additives, but from ordinary lifestyle dunces: Smoking contributes to 35 percent of IS cancer cases (and 90 percent of lung cancer cases). Unbalanced diets account for d about of cancer cases. Reproductive hormones coo tribute to as much as 20 percent of all .
