Foreword by Dr. Devra Davis

If you don’t have cancer right now, you know someone who does. Cancer has mutated from someone else’s illness to a rapacious epidemic that has landed on our own doorstep. We all know how lifestyle, diet and smoking can contribute to our cancer risk, but we risk being lulled into a false sense of security if we believe that butting out and avoiding trans fats will keep us sage. If it’s so simple, why are so many otherwise healthy people developing cancer? We are ignoring the biggest villian of all – the environmental poisons that have invaded our workplaces, homes and food sources.
This book offers solid evidence that many cancers are preventable, since their causes lie with the contamination of our bodies by pollution from the air we breathe, the products we use, the water we drink, and the food we eat. It shows what individuals and families can do to reduce their risk of cancer, and then moves on to solutions for community activists, healthcare workers, labor unions, cities, businesses, governments and developing nations. The book ends with ten global solutions.
