SCIENCE WITHOUT SENSE The Risky Business of Public Health Research by Steven Milloy Chapter 5 Mining for Statistical Associations Once you've collected your data, how do you find the risk that's your ticket to stardom? There are two tried-and-true techniques virtually guaranteed to turn up something. Disease Clusters and the Texas Sharpshooter One of the best techniques is called the Texas Sharpshooter method. It goes something like this: The Texas Sharpshooter sprays the side of an abandoned barn with gunfire. He then draws a bull's eye target around a cluster of bullet holes that occurred randomly. He then can say, "See what a good shot I am!" Basically, you can be your own sharpshooter if you find a cluster of disease and then shout "Aha!" or "Eureka!" or something to denote you've discovered the mother lode. Clusters are easy to find; they're everywhere, in fact. Epidemiologic studies of hazardous waste sites and electromagnetic fields are famous for clustering and the Texas Sharpshooter technique. For example, a study of a Woburn, Mass., site associated a cluster of 20 childhood leukemia cases with the site. It was very convincing. It didn't even matter that none of the contaminants at the site causes leukemia. That's the power of a cluster! Consider, for example, one out of every three people in the United States will develop cancer sometime during their lifetimes. We call this the background risk or "natural" rate of cancer. It's yours by virtue of your birth. Now, if you do an analysis of cancer rates by geographic region or state or county or city or neighborhood, you will likely find that some areas will have a cancer rate of exactly 1 in 3. But most areas will have cancer rates that greater or less than 1 in 3.

Is Cancer Contagious? By David Holland, MD I recently spoke with a nurse who was diagnosed, as an adult, with leukemia. She endured the chemotherapy regimen her doctors prescribed, only to suffer from a secondary fungal infection during that time. The intensity and duration of the antifungal treatment rivaled that of the chemotherapy. At any rate, she recovered from both afflictions and went back to work. Later, as a result of another workup which included a liver biopsy for some returning symptoms she had, bad news was again brought up. "Your leukemia has returned," her oncologist told her, and he proceeded to lay out the next line of chemotherapy drugs she would have to take. Given that her chances of dying were much higher now that her cancer had returned, she opted to get a second opinion on her biopsy before proceeding with her next round of chemotherapy. She took her tissue sample to another hospital, and what she was told there was absolutely stunning: "You don't have leukemia," remarked the pathologist, "what you have is a fungal infection!" The scenario that her doctors figured was that her previous fungal infection had returned a total possibility. But for this nurse, more questions were raised. She thought, for example, "If they diagnosed my fungal infection as leukemia this time, is it possible that they were wrong the FIRST time? Was my leukemia really a fungal infection to begin with, and was my so-called ´secondary´ fungal infection I had earlier really a full-blown manifestation of what originally might have looked like leukemia?"

May 11, 2000 Vol. 19 No. 16 current issue archive / search contact Dietary bioflavonoids cause DNA damage and may contribute to infant leukemia By John Easton Medical Center Public Affairs Scientists from the University Medical Center have found molecular evidence that bioflavonoids, which are ordinarily considered quite beneficial, can cause breaks in DNA that may trigger the development of infant leukemias. Bioflavonoids are found at high levels in many foods, including soybeans, fruits, root vegetables and herbs, and are often ingested in high concentrations as dietary supplements. Reiner Strick, Research Associate in Medicine, and Pamela Strissel, Assistant Professor in Medicine, found that 10 out of 20 bioflavonoids tested caused breaks in one small region of a gene known as MLL (myeloid-lymphoid leukemia). The MLL gene is a key player in about 80 percent of infant leukemias. The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences The DNA damage seen after exposure to either bioflavonoids or to anticancer drugs VP16 or doxorubicin (Dox) was identical, affecting one small region of the MLL gene. Although most adult leukemias involving MLL affect a different part of the gene, the breakpoints found in infant leukemias and secondary leukemias occur predominantly in the small region altered by the bioflavonoids. Infant leukemias are rare, affecting only about 37 out of every 1 million children in the United States. Some researchers have argued that the cause may be an infectious agent, but epidemiological studies have suggested that maternal consumption of foods, such as bioflavonoids, could lead to an increased risk of infant leukemia. A 1988 study found the disease to be nearly twice as common in several large Asian cities, where soy intake is two to five times as high as in the United States.

Bioflavonoids may contribute to infant leukemia Bioflavonoids, the plant substances that have garnered huge interest for their potential health benefits, can cause breaks in DNA that could trigger the development of infant leukemias. Bioflavonoids are found at high levels in many foods including soybeans, fruits, root vegetables and herbs and are often taken in high concentrations as dietary supplements. Scientists from the University of Chicago Medical Centre found that 10 of the 20 bioflavonoids tested caused breaks in one small region of a gene known as MLL, a key player in about 80% of infant leukemias. "Although bioflavonoids may be beneficial in certain circumstances, our studies suggest that high dietary intake of bioflavonoids could cause DNA breaks in MLL and possibly in other partner genes", note the study authors. "Maternal ingestion of bioflavonoids may induce MLL breaks and potentially translocation in utero," they concede, "leading to infant and early childhood leukemias". Infant leukemias are rare, affecting only about 37 out of every million children in the U.S. Some researchers have argued that the cause may be an infectious agent, but epidemiologic studies have suggested that maternal consumption of foods such as bioflavonoids could lead to an increased risk of infant leukemia.

(Read the British Food Standards Agencies Committee on Toxicity Report Here) Soy phytoestrogens causing cancer? Hold on a minute what about all the latest research that tells us that soy prevents cancer?! The key arguments in the case for soy as an anti-cancer foodstuff appear based on: Crude epidemiology. Mortality rates of certain types of hormone dependent cancers (such as breast and prostate) are lower in Asians. Asians eat lots of soy. Wow, if we eat lots of soy we will reduce our risk of cancer too! Evidence that the soy isoflavone genistein displays anti-cancer properties in vitro. Wow, genistein inhibits the growth of, and kills, cancer cells; let's eat more today! But long before these anti-cancer claims became common, researchers had noted that phytoestrogens such as genistein could greatly

Printer-friendly version Oranges and Bananas Prevent Childhood Leukemia By Maureen Williams, ND American Journal of Epidemiology Leukemia is a cancer of the bone marrow that impairs production of all of the blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. With 2,000 to 3,000 children diagnosed each year, leukemia is the most common form of cancer affecting children, representing about 30% of all cases. Childhood leukemia is characterized by bone pain, fever, fatigue and pale complexion due to anemia (low number of red blood cells), and easy bruising due to low numbers of platelets in the blood. Several studies have looked for a link between intake of carcinogenic compounds, such as nitrosamines found in hot dogs and other cured meats, and the risk of childhood cancers, including leukemia; however, results have been inconsistent. Little is known about the impact of other dietary patterns and the risk of childhood leukemia. The results of this study suggest that consuming oranges, orange juice, and bananas regularly in the first two years of life might protect against childhood leukemia. Oranges are rich in vitamin C, a well-known antioxidant with established anticancer effects, and carotenes, antioxidant pigments that might also have anticancer properties; similarly, bananas are rich in potassium, a mineral that has been speculated to have some anticancer potential. Further research might lead to a better understanding of the specific nutrients that protect against childhood leukemia and lead to a wider array of foods recommended for an optimal diet. Based on the current findings, mothers can be encouraged to feed their young children a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, especially oranges and bananas.

Specifically, the focus may shift away from current intensive therapies for ultra low-risk patients and away from transplantation for certain patients at relapse. In contrast, infants with ALL comprise an ultra high-risk population in need of specialized approaches.
