Dr.
Samuel Epstein is one of the world's leading authorities on the causes and prevention
of cancer. He champions winning the war against cancer through cancer prevention
-- avoiding exposure to carcinogens in the workplace and in our food, air and
water, as well as in products that we buy such as cosmetics, prescription drugs,
pesticides and household products. He has been a staunch critic of the traditional
cancer establishment's focus on curing cancer rather than cancer prevention, claiming
that there is a conflict of interest with the establishment's involvement with
the cancer drug industry and the petrochemical industries. Dr. Epstein received
the Right Livelihood Award in 1998 for his dedication to helping make the world
safer for all.
