According to the head of the cancer research team at the University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, it shows that there are a lot of convincing clues that supports the direct relationship between race and the likelihood of one developing cancer in the future.
Another important fact is that most cancers which develops among black women turns out to be more aggressive and hard to cure (due to the presence of drug resistance tumors).

I am a bit surprised by the news today regarding whitebread having a close association with cancer incidence among people who consumes them. The research is based on a study published in the International Journal of Cancer.
The research also aims to promote the consumption of whole grains and vegetables in order to avoid the horrors of Kidney cancers (Renal Cell Carcinoma). Its surprising to know that most foodstuff that we regularly eat unknowingly jeopardizes our health.
In the study, it shows that among the 6000 recorded case of renal cell carcinoma, more than 80% of them were found out to have consumed more than 5 slices of whitebread a day while the remaining population were recorded to have approximately consumed 1 and a half slices per day. Moreover, the study confirms that the former are twice more likely to develop kidney cancer within their lifetime than those who consumes less.
