Have you read this book?

Doctors are not going to recommend cancer-causing information to you over a pen or coffee mug with a pharma drug name on it. ("Here, have this Marlboro cup - now tell your patients they need to smoke 2 packs a day!!"
)You're Gish Galloping into things well beyond what's been posted here, or anything I've stated.
I'll take that as a 'No'. Then you really shouldn't have commented because that book blows up everything you have posted.Doctors are not going to recommend cancer-causing information to you over a pen or coffee mug with a pharma drug name on it.

Until you read the book, you have no right to comment on it. Dr. Kassirer, as former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, has forgotten more than you'll ever learn. Dr. Walter Willet, head of Public Policy at Harvard, says 95% of cancer is preventable. Everyone is treating it. Medicine is corrupt. The NIH and the Depts. of Medicine, all do better when Big Pharma is kicking in $200 million to push their agenda.
That's a stupid game. Have you read every cancer research paper written in the last 30 years? No? Well then, you are in no position to comment.
If there is an argument germaine to the conversation in the book, present it with the evidence; don't try to argue from "authority." Trying to claim that you've read a book that proves your opinion trumps anybody's argument if they haven't read the book is silly.
Not a stupid game at all. I never claimed to read research papers. OTOH, JP ripped a book before reading it.
Can you please provide a link where Dr. Willett states that 95% of cancer is preventable? I would like to see the context of that quote. I find that difficult to believe since at an American Association of Cancer Research meeting last year he stated that approximately 30-35% of cancer is attributable to diet, and that his conclusion at the end of his talk is " we still have much to learn".
I know what he asked for. There is where I learned of it. This is what I posited in my original post on page 3.
