Cancer Chemoprevention by Dietary Polyphenols.

Posted on November 5, 2010 by Dr. Gary Pack

Cancer is believed to be the result of, both, genetics and epigenetics. Epigenetics has given new understanding to the development of cancers of all types. Epigenetic changes alter gene expression but don’t alter the sequence of DNA. Even though they are inheritable, they are reversible. They can be modified by diet, environment and pharmaceuticals.

Examples include polychlorinated biphenyls, dioxins, phthalates, polybrominated diphenyl ethers and other halogenated organochlorines. High levels of hypothyroidism are seen with PCB and heavy metal exposure. The incidence of thyroid disease, especially cancer and autoimmune disease, […]

Folate and Neural Tube Defects.

Posted on April 8, 2007 by Dr. Gary Pack

Folate protects a human fetus from neural tube defects (NTDs). Two types of NTDs include anencephaly and spina bifida. This is the only instance in which a congenital malformation can be prevented, simply. If the neural tube does not close during development of the embryo, congenital defects can result. Folate is a B-complex vitamin that […]
