A Mary T. Hoffman Commentary from All-Creatures.org

 

"Joyful Curmudgeon" An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful.  At the same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true peace and compassion.

Pancreatic Cancer – 26 January 2008
By Mary T. Hoffman

An article titled “Processed Meats and Dairy Products Positively Associated with Pancreatic Cancer Risk” has this to say:

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cancer and the fifth most common cause of cancer-related mortality. A case-control study conducted between 1995 and 1999 by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, evaluated the association between animal protein, dietary fat, and dairy products and risk for pancreatic cancer. When comparing highest versus lowest intake for certain foods, beef, processed meats, lamb, eggs, and dairy products all showed positive associations with cancer risk. Total dietary cholesterol, animal fat, saturated fat, and monounsaturated fat were also found to correspond to an increase in pancreatic cancer risk.
