WASHINGTON - The widely used preservative formaldehyde and the coffee-cup component styrene were added to a list of known and suspected carcinogens by the feds. Formaldehyde, linked to leukemia and a rare type of nasal cancer, is "known to be a human carcinogen," according to a report by the National Institutes of Health. Styrene, often used in food containers, is categorized by researchers as "reasonably anticipated" to be cancer-causing. They were among eight new agents listed as carcinogens, bringing the total to 240. The cancer-causing risk from formaldehyde and styrene comes from the products' widespread use in industrial applications and less from their presence in consumer products, officials said. Industrial groups criticized the report, saying the fears were unfounded. The American Cancer Society said consumers should not worry about cups or food containers, but should shelve personal products with formaldehyde.

The American Cancer Society is in bed with the pharmaceutical industry with all their so-called "cures" most likely stemming from the work of the Nazi [Bankster] scientists brought to America after WWII for the purpose of killing us "softly". The American Cancer Society should be shelved.
thank you. i'll have to watch it later...it is not loading at the moment. i am familiar with Burzynski...what he said here reminds me of what Steve McQueen said: "Cancer is a racket, and I am going to blow the lid off it." ["Steve McQueen Dr. Kelley Cancer Cure"]
=================================================== The average chemotherapy averages $10,000.00 PER SESSION.
do you mean "per session"?
================================ Yeah, thanks. Fixed it. Sidenote: cancer chemo drugs have almost been depleted, in critical short supply.
thank God!
