By Dr. Royal Lee
Summary: Dr. Lee examines a range of nutrition-based accounts for the cause and possible cure of cancer. In particular, he quotes Dr. L. Duncan Bulkley: "The present status of the 'Cancer Problem' is...to decide between two quite opposite positions. First, a hypothetical and problematical view of a local, independent, unexplainable, autonomous decision of certain cells to take on and continue a destructive course, for which immense research has failed entirely to find any reason. Secondly, the simple and rational belief that a perverted nutrition, perhaps of longstanding, influences certain cells to depart from their normal mode of action and take on an abnormal activity, pursuing a malignant and destructive course which is naturally kept up by the continued metabolic disturbance. We accept this latter position in regard to many other diseases, why not in regard to cancer?" Lee also cites the intriguing conclusion of Dr. William J. Mayo, founder of the prestigious Mayo Clinic, who in 1914 expressed the opinion that cancer is caused "by some defect in the food supply of civilized man, including the possibility of too much cooking." Publication 12-50. 1950.
