[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spend the extra for organic non-antibiotic, non growth hormone, non-gmo food.  Much cheaper than cancer in the long run.[/quote]

Oh so [i]that's[/i] how you cure cancer.

:roll: [/quote]

Prevention is much easier than curing. [/quote]

You really believe that you are preventing cancer by avoiding GMOs? So when a friend comes down with cancer, are you secretly thinking, "Well, she really should have eaten organic food"?

I do buy organic produce and humanely raised meat most of of the time, almost completely because I hate what pesticides are doing to pollinators and I think factory farm practices are disgusting. But if you really think you are preventing cancer by buying organic/non-GMO food, well, you've been hoodwinked.[/quote]

I suspect these people actually do think that. My mother died of lung cancer. She never smoked a cigarette or drank a sip of alcohol in her life. She exercise every day and was slim and healthy until the day she was diagnosed. Not to hijack the thread, but I really do believe some people think that people are to blame for cancer. Despicable.[/quote]

New poster--My mother is currently in remission from cancer.  She went to Cancer Centers of America and they highly recommend that patients take up an organic diet.  Since that time she only eats mostly organic and has changed her entire diet around.  I also completely changed my diet and eat mostly organic.  Never had cancer but I notice I no longer get ovarian cysts, which I had been struggling with almost every month.  It's a shame that organic food is so expensive though. [/quote]

OK, but do you eat the exact same kinds of food, only organic? Or did you switch from a junkier diet with more processed foods to one that is mostly whole foods, cooked at home? I don't discount at all the health benefits of a good diet. I've read a lot of studies on organic food and health benefits, though, and there's no proven link. There are definitely proven links between diet and health, obviously. But you don't have to eat organic food to eat a healthy, unprocessed diet.[/quote]
