If I remember correctly, the last time I mentioned macrobiotics on this list, I got back several replies discrediting macrobiotics because Michio smoked cigarettes and ate junk food. This may be ONE reason that some of his family members developed cancer.

I don't know that I would jump to fast to label some single thing as THE cause.

Just another opinion in this electronic pissing contest,
