Golden Delicious Apples and Cancer
Here's an another article for the health conscious suggesting that Golden Delicious apples contain a chemical that inhibits the growth of a bacterium called helicobacter pylori (h. pylori). H. pylori is known to cause MALT lymphoma and stomach cancer and is increasingly suspected as a causative agent in a host of other cancers often the subject of mass tort litigation.
Though IARC declared h. pylori a Class I human carcinogen for gastric cancer in 1994, unflinching efforts to demonstrate links between h. pylori and neoplasms as diverse as colon cancer and lymphoma commenced only recently.
In another post on this topic I’ll discuss the big drum that always gets beat in mass tort cases, epidemiology, and how it fared in elucidating the real cause of gastric cancer. Teaser: When it came to finding the real cause, h. pylori, epidemiology produced an epic failure.
