Approximately 1/3 of the most common cancers could be prevented in France through prevention based on nutritional feeding, consumption of fruits and vegetables and regular physical activity.

According to the report of collective analysis of the National Health Security and Food (handles) “Nutrition and Cancer”, the level of evidence is now established on the contribution of three nutritional factors to the decline in risk cancer .

The term “nutrition” includes food (all dietary factors including alcohol), nutritional status (eg overweight) and physical activity.

These three factors are:

the consumption of fruits and vegetables : the level of evidence is considered likely for several cancers: mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus, stomach, lung.

Breastfeeding: the level of evidence is found to be convincing for breast cancer, the most common cancer in women.

and finally physical activity: the level of evidence is currently considered convincing for colon cancer is one of the most common cancers.

Sport, consumption of fruits and vegetables (preferably from the farming ) and breastfeeding, and are three factors that lessen the risk of getting cancer.

The Future Generation Association and the European Environment & Health Alliance, in partnership with WWF-France and Environmental Health Network, published a survey as part of the campaign “Cancer and the environment”. The results are alarming!

Today, one in 2 men and one woman in three is or will be touched by cancer in France. The Institute for Public Health also provides that in 2010, 350,000 new cancers are diagnosed.

While cases of cancer in children and adolescents are increasing continuously since the 1970s, scientists are increasingly driven to seek causes in our environment. Associations Future Generations and HEA, as part of their awareness campaign entitled “Cancer and the Environment”, and have ordered several French and Belgian independent laboratories performing tests on non-organic products purchased in supermarkets and the Oise in Paris between July and September 2010.

4 meals and a snack-a typical day of a child about 10 years-have been developed following the recommendations of the Department of Health. Thus 5 fruits and vegetables were included in the day, and that at least 3 dairy and a half liters of water (tap). Sweets were also added.

Various chemicals were investigated: the plasticizers that Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates, brominated flame retardants (PBDEs), dioxins, furans, PCBs and other persistent organic pollutants (POPs), pesticides or metals Heavy …

Results? The analyzes show that 24 hours, a child may be exposed only by his power, to dozens of chemical compounds suspected of being carcinogenic or suspected endocrine disruptors by European and American health authorities!

The study shows that one day, a ten year old child would ingest as much as 81 different chemicals.

Were found in these four meals: 128 chemical residues of 81 different chemicals, 36 different pesticides, 47 carcinogenic substances classified as probable or possible (including some 5) and 37 endocrine (PE)!

Among the products most affected, we find the tap water that contains eight chemical residues including atrazine, chloroform and nitrates, salmon with thirty-four chemical residues detected and chopped steak with 10 substances detected.

” The survey results are beyond what we imagined . Such a study certainly deserves further investigation, but its main purpose was to shed light on chemicals to which we can be exposed through diet. Although in almost all cases, the legal limits for each chemical individually are not exceeded, it is clear from our investigation that the reality of consumer exposure to contaminants that may be carcinogenic and / or PE is a concern because it results ingestion of cocktails very many substances . synergy effects induced by the ingestion of such cocktails of contaminants are not taken into account in assessing the risks posed by various substances and the final risk to the consumer is probably underestimated, “says the survey.

The consequences of the disaster Fukushima she will be felt across the planet? Earlier this week, Alaskan authorities have recovered some sixty mysteriously stranded seals. Scientists have not hesitated to mention the assumption of irradiation.

10 months after the nuclear disaster and the  spill of millions of tons of radioactive water in the Pacific , the first visible victims of the animal kingdom seem to emerge. Indeed, Alaska, a sixty seal stranded and sick 75 specimens were identified with worrying injuries. Stranded mammals were irritated skin around the eyes and entire sections of skin devoid of hair. Scientists at the Institute of Marine Science, University of Fairbanks (Alaska) first sought a responsible side or viruses an immune deficiency, but did not detect anything in this direction . They now await the results of analysis by gamma spectrometry, a technique that can detect radioactive elements, to prove or disprove this hypothesis, far from crazy. In fact, scientists already spoke several months ago of a inevitable contamination of the food chain in the Pacific Ocean. Prior to totally dilute the radioactivity contained in the cooling waters of the damaged power plant, has very likely contaminated plankton, before being transmitted to the fish and finally to marine mammals . These  radioactive waste water , had also led to bans on fishing in Japan.

20 million tons of debris drifting

In July this year already, seals were found stranded on Alaskan shores, marked by lesions on the hind flippers and mouth. It has not heard the last of Fukushima since most of these mysterious strandings, the United States are already reaching the first  tsunami-related waste . Carried away by the ebb of the tidal wave, over 20 million tons of debris were found in the ocean as well. Some have crossed the ocean, carried by currents to the State of Washington, where people have found bottles and buoys Japanese inscriptions. These wastes should also be subject to tests of gamma rays to determine if they are dangerous or not.

According to many stress experts are especially yoga, qigong, progressive muscle relaxation according to Jacobson and autogenic training, and particularly suitable to strengthen the defenses of the organism.

Power from the inside

To increase the immune system are also highly concentrated cod liver oil capsules (GeloVital example, a prescription to the pharmacy) are suitable. In cod liver oil are polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A and vitamin D included. Cod liver oil is used for general immune support and strengthening. Vitamin A regulates the growth and development of immune cells. The sunshine vitamin D stops at all, the calcium levels in the body constant, and omega-3 fatty acids reduce the triglyceride (VLDL-value) in the blood by inhibiting the production of triglycerides in the liver. In addition, omega-3 fatty acids show slightly hypotensive, vasodilator, anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. Also important is a balanced, healthy diet. In order to strengthen the immune system, should be at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day on the table, next to sour milk products, lean meat, oily fish and whole grains. Even a healthy gut, helping to boost the immune system.
