[All] Cancer and Enviro causes: more info

Lulu and All,

Now you guys are "cooking" -- this should up the interest level of our  
meetings both for ourselves and prospective new members!  Just to make  
things even more interesting, I'll toss in "negative synergism"  
involving a combination of interacting environmental (most general  
meaning), genetic, and epigenetic factors. (I really dig complexity.)

Robert M.

PS: Just like with fluoride, I look forward to strong support from the  
MOH (in my dreams).
