Dependence of the development of cancer on the nature of the diet. Hindhede (Ber. über du gesam. Gyn., Bd. IX)

Abstract

Hindhede observed the dependence of the development of cancer on the nature of the diet in Denmark. Vegetarian peoples rarely get cancer (with the exception of the Japanese, who consume a lot of hot spices). The increase in the number of crayfish is due to the increased consumption of meat. The destruction of pigs in Denmark in 1917 resulted in a decrease in cancer mortality. In Sweden, cancer deaths are lower because the working class there is less well fed.
