Chicago, Illinois, May 7, 2010 — The President’s Cancer Panel’s report from May 6 is well-researched. It issues warnings on the scientific data on cancer-causing agents found in consumer products, the workplace, and water that can be avoided. According to Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., Chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, it also alerts readers to the hormonal dangers associated with exposure to bisphenol-A (BPA) and other harmful plastic pollutants (CPC).
Twenty eminent scientists and public policy experts supported a news statement from the Cancer Prevention Coalition on January 23, 2009, which detailed concerns about cancer’s preventable causes and encouraged President Obama’s cancer plan to include a strong emphasis on prevention. A news statement on June 15, 2009 went into further detail about these issues. In a press statement from the CPC on May 6, 2010, the hazards of BPA are also described in detail.
Their skyrocketing growth from 1975 to 2005 demonstrate some of the more surprising truths in the National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) and the “non-profit” American Cancer Society’s (ACS) long-standing failure to prevent a very wide spectrum of cancers..
These include:
Numerous causes have contributed to the 17 percent increase in breast cancer cases. Birth control medications, estrogen replacement therapy, harmful hormonal components in cosmetic and personal care items, and diagnostic tests are some examples.
regular premenopausal mammography, which can expose the breast to up to five rads of radiation over the course of ten years.
According to Dr. Epstein, the American Cancer Society’s criticisms that the President’s Cancer Panel report exaggerates preventable cancer risks show irresponsible indifference in addition to narrow self-interest.
The Chronicle of Philanthropy, the nation’s top charity watchdog, issued a warning in 1993 against the American Cancer Society receiving funding from the public coffers for private use. The ACS is more focused in generating riches than protecting lives, The Chronicle further said.
The ACS’s track record for well over the last four decades amply supports these warnings.
The Cosmetic Toiletry and Fragrance Association began the “Look Good…Feel Better Program” in 1989 with the goal of “assisting women cancer patients restore their appearance and self-image following chemotherapy and radiation treatment.” In 2002, the ACS announced its active participation in the initiative. Many of the top cosmetics companies participated in this program, and they failed carelessly—if not illegally—to disclose the carcinogenic and other toxic ingredients in the products they gave away to vulnerable women.
Dr. Epstein adds that the ACS’s disregard for cancer prevention also exhibits significant conflicts of interest with regard to public relations.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
Dr. Epstein emphasizes that the ACS’s disregard for cancer prevention also exhibits significant conflicts of interest with regard to public relations.
PUBLIC RELATIONS
Shandwick International, whose key clients included R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Holdings, handled PR for the ACS from 1998 to 2000.
2000–2002: The Altria Group, the parent corporation of Philip Morris, Kraft, fast food chains, and soft drink producers, as well as Brown & Williamson Tobacco Company, handled Edelman Public Relations’ PR for the ACS. Once the CPC made this information public, all of these companies were swiftly fired.
FUNDING FOR INDUSTRY
The ACS’s disregard for cancer prevention is a direct result of significant industrial support. Dr. Epstein notes that numerous “Excalibur Donors,” many of whom still produce hazardous products, have given ACS contributions totaling more than $100,000.
These consist of:
The ACS answered that it “holds itself to the greatest standards of transparency and public accountability,” despite this lengthy history of flagrant conflicts of interest, as documented in the December 8, 2009 New York Times, cautions Dr. Epstein.
Samuel S. Epstein, M.D. is an emeritus professor of environmental and occupational medicine at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health, chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, and recipient of the Albert Schweitzer Golden Grand Medal for International Contributions to Cancer Prevention in 2005. He is also the author of 20 books and more than 270 scientific articles on the causes and prevention of cancer, including the ground-breaking The Politics of Cancer (1979), Cancer-Gate: How the Government Covered Up the World’ (2009, BenBella Books).
