I think diet and the foods available may be a factor in the rising rates of cancer, mental illness, MS and more. The research is "out" on this still and the FDA & many doctors don't agree. BUT -- people are starting to believe and think that things like excess MSG, flavor and color-enhancing chemicals in our foods, preservatives, insecticides, etc. are not meant to be ingested by humans and may in fact be affecting our immune systems and neurological systems.
I've read about a lot of people who claim to have cured various illnesses in themselves by doing dramatic 'back to nature' organic diets, avoiding processed foods and many chemicals.
It's food for thought (no pun intended!)
