Since its establishment in 1971,this panel of experts has suggested that cancer risk be reduced through self-exams, screenings like mammograms, and doctor’s visits. A great source of information on cancer risk can be found on the American Cancer Society website. But the newly released report cites weak laws, enforcement, and the ‘presumption that chemicals are safe unless strong evidence emerges to the contrary’ as a reason to focus cancer prevention strategies on food. Such controversial chemicals include bisphenol-A or BPA, found in food and beverage co...

Cancer Panel: Chemicals ‘Grossly Underestimated’ as Carcinogens. Just as we’re once again treated to the sight of volunteers scrubbing oil off wildfowl (ah, memories), along comes the President’s Cancer Panel report that says we’re being polluted to death. And I quote: The “true burden of environmentally induced cancer has been grossly underestimated.” According to the report, “more than 80,000 chemicals are in use, and 1,000-2,000 new chemicals are created and introduced into the environment each year.” Only a few hundred have been tested for safety. Says The Washington Post, “The current system places the burden on the government to prove that a chemical is unsafe before it can be remove...

The Panel’s recommendations delineate concrete actions that governments; industry; the research, health care, and advocacy communities; and individuals can take to reduce cancer risk related to environmental contaminants, excess radiation, and other harmful exposures. Key Issues for Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk Issues impeding control of environmental cancer risks include those related to limited research on environmental influences on cancer; conflicting or inadequate exposure measurement, assessment, and classification; and ineffective regulation of environmental chemical and other hazardous exposures.
