		<description>It is a great list of anti-cancer properties - however if you look here:

http://www.humancure.com/what-causes-cancer-and-how-to-heal-or-prevent-it/

You will see that cancer is actually caused from free radicals - free radicals is what mutates the DNA and causes cells to not function as they would normally - a large amount of mutated cells = cancer! 

To get rid of those mutations (which are in everyone to an extent!) you need super-antioxidants - not just any!

The article above explains this in details and I hope this contributes to creating awareness of people who do not know this.</description>

		<description>I get so angry when I see this type of drivel. 
It leads to the mistaken belief that illness is &#039;deserved&#039; to some extent.

It is well established that there is a causative link between tobacco smoke and cancer. This doesn&#039;t mean all smokers will get cancer. Nor does it mean that avoiding cigarettes will guarantee being cancer free. 

There are many causes and risk factors involved in the many types of cancer which we simply aren&#039;t aware of. Of those we know, not all are within our control. 
Cancer is not judgmental. It doesn&#039;t care if you have done &quot;everything right&quot;. It&#039;s a horrible disease which nobody deserves no matter what they have or haven&#039;t done. This isn&#039;t a good reason to not strive to avoid the risk factors you can but it is a good reason to stop judging cancer. Disease is amoral. People get cancer. They deserve compassion from themselves and everyone else.</description>

		<description>Olive oil should have the lowest &quot;smoke point&quot; of all publicly available oils because it contains the highest amounts of unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids have less van der waals forces with each other due to the kinks in their chains caused by the double bonds that are responsible for &quot;unsaturation&quot; While saturated fats like butter have no kinks in their chains and so they can line up with each other and maximize the van der waals forces between each other and therefore have higher boiling points or smoke points.

It is true that rancidity is a cause for concern and can cause problems in the body in large doses.

Saturated fats are not better for you than unsaturated fats, saturated fats have a higher melting point and can aggregate in the blood vessels.

Cancer is an incredibly complex illness that does have a lot to do with your genes. However cancer also has a lot to do with the things you put in your body. It would only make sense that in order to avoid cancer or to reap the benefits of being in good health would be to eat healthy, and exercise.

Some of you are being way to polar on your view of clinical studies. Double blind clinical studies are a great resource, they can tell you whether something works or not, or things that are correlated to one another. Double blind studies have their own limitations, and as many have said, correlation is NOT causation.

Statistics are important and they really do reflect the real world quite accurately, unfortunately some statistics are misrepresented, either purposefully or not it is each individuals job to do their own research on dubious statistics. We are lied to all the time it is our responsibility as intelligent individuals to check the facts and call people out on their lies.</description>
