Cancer Hits Blacks Harder
Despite a decline in U.S. cancer deaths, the disease kills 36 percent more black men and 17 percent more black women that it does their white counterparts, a Pfizer/National Medical Association study has found.
Using 1990-2003 data, researchers found that the breast-cancer death rate for black women was 14 percent higher for white women in 1990, yet 36 percent higher in 2002.
“I can’t emphasize enough the importance of…early detection,” actor and prostate-cancer survivor Harry Belafonte said at the release of the study, although it noted that blacks diagnosed at the same stage as whites have lower survival rates.
Please note, although cancer deaths are down, cancer across all area’s are up. Pharmaceutical companies may be extending lives with drugs, but whole foods preferably organic can stem this horrible and frightening trend.
