Exposure to Industrial Pollutants and the Link to Lymphoma
This chapter explores the link between exposure to industrial pollutants and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, specifically focusing on the role of animal fat as a main source of dioxins and PCBs. It discusses the lower exposure of vegetarians to these pollutants and the difference between organically and conventionally produced meats in terms of carcinogenic contaminants. The chapter also discusses the potential benefits of fiber and gut flora in reducing exposure to fat-soluble pesticides and protecting against lymphoma.
