When Hispanics Immigrate to the U.S., Their Cancer Rates Begin to Soar

(NaturalNews) Cancer rates among Hispanics rise following migration to the United States, according to a study conducted by researchers from the University of Miami.
“This study is [reminiscent] of studies from the late 1960s that looked at immigrants from China and Japan to the United States,” said Otis Brawley of the American Cancer Society. “They raise risk of cancer by immigrating and raise rates for second generation Americans even more so.”
The researchers used data from the Florida cancer registry, International Agency for Research on Cancer, and 2000 U.S. census to compare the rates of various cancers among Hispanics of different national origins both in the United States and in their home countries, as well as rates among non-Hispanics in the United States, between 1999 and 2001. They found that cancer rates among Hispanics living in the United States are approximately 40 percent higher than rates in Latin America, although the specifics vary by national origin and cancer type. For example, rates of colorectal cancer practically double among Puerto Ricans moving to the mainland, while roughly tripling among Mexican and Cuban migrants.

The researchers attributed the rise in cancer rates among immigrants to the adoption of unhealthy lifestyle patterns prevalent in the United States, particularly dietary changes including a higher consumption of red meat. Lower levels of physical activity and higher tobacco and alcohol consumption are also likely culprits.
“For Hispanic populations, there are beneficial lifestyles associated with their origin that probably should be kept,” said lead author Paulo Pinheiro. “There are lifestyles that may be more prevalent in the United States that probably should be avoided.”

The U.S.A. didn’t cause their Cancer. The Beaner itself is the Cancer.
P.S. I am glad to once again hit you people up with some knowledge.

Do any of you people STILL wonder why we’re opposed to the illegal alien invasion?? Here’s why:
INS/FBI Statistical Report on Undocumented Immigrants
2006 (First Quarter) INS/FBI Statistical Report on Undocumented Immigrants
CRIME STATISTICS 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens.

“The Jewish people as a whole will become its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship.
In this New World Order the children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come, the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands.”
— Baruch Levy, Letter to Karl Marx, ‘La Revue de Paris’, p.574, June 1, 1928

The only way to stay disease free is to go natural, organic. Check labels on everything. If preservatives, chemical additives, colour, flavours and anything else you don’t understand is written on the label, put it back…don’t buy it. All our fruit and vegetables are picked green, gassed to enhance colour and shipped out to the supermarkets when they are already weeks old. Grown your own.
If we all stop buying the crap then something has got to change.

Show to go ya that the Americans have been so toxic so long that we’ve actually
built an immunity to things. Thats why the American Indians where so plagued
when we gave them our poisonous sugar and white flour.

The US food is full of GMO, chemicals, irradiated, no wonder why everyone is getting cancer. Its a great way to control population figures.

I eat about 80-90 percent organic. I also take omega 3-6-9, a powdered greens mixture, mangosteen, goji, or acai….whatever bottle I bought for the month, Resveratrol, Silver Solution, liquid oxygen, Vit-D, apple cidar vinegar, coconut oil, digestive enzymes, bilberry juice, himalayan sea salt sole, and olive oil. These things cost me about $5 per day to be on. I don’t not drink pop, or smoke, so I can afford them. I truly feel good everyday. The Kevin Trudeau books woke me up. I thanks Kevin Trudeau for making my family and I healthy. The results from his books are SO amazing, no words to describe.

Organic means nothing ever since the FDA took over. I remember
years ago when “all natural” stood for something.
I mix placebos into my vitamin bottle. Makes it go farther and it saves me money.
Ahhh, the power of thought!

multiple vitamin a day keeps the doctor away. our immune system fights cancer cells every day of our life. keep boosting your immune system with vitamins and minerals. i the cancer will go millignat or not do anything or go away. everything we eat has hazmat in it to weaking the immune system thats why the commies are trying to outlaw vitamins

T-yup: You are doing the right things. However, if Codex Alementarius comes into being it will become increasingly harder to acquire these things. Traditional medicine has its place, but so does alternative medicine. If it can’t be reproduced by big Pharma and sold for big bucks, it will go. Much in nature gives us what we need to get well and stay well.

I have seen more people die that are in their 30’s and 40’s in the last 10 years and it scares the HELL out of me! It is all the CRAP that they put into our food! Other countries that are less fortunate as us may not have the “healthiest” of diets, but they also don’t have all the “man-made” GARBAGE in their food like we do! I can easily see where their cancer rate would be higher.
February 12th, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Look at health history…I would bet you anything that over 50% of the health problems we have now were not present 50 years ago! It is the chemicals in our food! If it is made by man..DON’T EAT IT!

My doctor just called and said my total cholesterol is 280, they called me in medication and I am astonished and terrified. I thought I was healthy as a horse. I am never ill, I only went for a check-up to please my family. I am not the type of man who lives on drugs and I don’t want to start. You are absolutely right, some of my friends started off with one medication and now they have bags full, cabinets full, wherever they keep them. Some take 3 a day, some 2 a day and they are getting…

Wow, just entering America causes cancer. Thats why I exercise everyday, don’t smoke cigarettes, don’t eat meat and get my vitamins. And even after all that the pollution still gives me acne. What a shame.
