Cancer is Now the Leading Cause of Death GreenMedInfo – Nov 2019

• “Cancer has surpassed heart disease as the No. 1 cause of death in high-income countries…”
• “Some middle-income countries, which included the Philippines, Iran, South Africa, Colombia, China, Brazil, Malaysia, Turkey, Poland, Argentina and Chile, also saw cancer become the leading cause of death.”
• “The study suggested cancer is rising to the top because heart disease is better treated in high-income countries, saving more lives from heart disease and paving the way for cancer deaths to flourish”
• “Nearly 1,000 Natural Substances Have Anti-Cancer Potential”
  • “At the top of the list is curcumin…”
  • which activates the Vitamin D Receptor – Comment by VitaminDWiki
