Well, first, may I ask how many have heard me speak before?
Some well, some of you know me as the sugar lady. And that's what my main research has been, although I've gotten most interested in inflammation because of what sugar does cause the inflammation. But I would like to ask a favor of any of you who are sugar, Horlicks, former sugar, Horlicks, have diseases, don't have diseases, had symptoms, have good stories. If you'll come and see me afterward, I'd like to interview you for a few minutes. We have a project going and I'm looking for sugar Horlicks. So that would be great. I will be out the door into the left, right around where the speakers have their books and I will have all of my books. And this is like the sugar habit, the one that has sold over half a million copies. And it's been around for quite a while. And it's still just as important today as it was many years ago. And for those of you who do have a sugar problem, I also have a gum that is miraculous. It stops the cravings. It does the whole thing. When you when you chew it sugar, it tastes like cardboard. So come see me afterward if you've got a problem, any way you can get off of sugars the right way. I'd also I live in Santa Monica. And for those of you who would like to be have a email address, if you'd like to sign your email here, I'll be glad to put you on my list to find out about my newest research. All sorts of things I say email out to people. So could I just start this year and just the last person who has it when they're finished? When I'm finished the lecture, if you'd bring it back to me, that would be great. But you might want to hear me first. You might not want to be on my list.
All right.
The concept of inflammation causing cancer has been around for more than a century. The scientist Jules Vogel and Rudolph Virchow put forth the theory that the growth of cancer was due to an irritation. Both thought that irritation caused inflammation and excessive cellular growth. This theory continued into the 20th century, although it was superseded by the sophisticated genetic explanation. Recently, some British scientists have concluded that the long term over activation of the immune system, such as through irritation or infection, sources of inflammation, may be the single most important cause of cancer. They call an inflamed tissue a melting pot of cancer causing molecules. The long standing over activation
