Hormesis in precautionary regulatory culture: models preferences and the advancement of science
- Environmental ScienceHuman & experimental toxicology
- 2007
The article demonstrates the excessive use of arguments based on adverse effects and underlines the necessity to take adaptive effects seriously, and includes the advice to EPA, not to follow the `witch hunt of synthetic chemicals' as embodied in the EU REACH program.

Chemical carcinogenesis and chemoprevention: Scientific priority area in rapidly industrializing developing countries
- Medicine
- 2008
Cancer chemoprevention or anticarcinogenesis is the process of exposure of an animal including humans to a substance that will reduce the incidence of cancer that would otherwise develop and should be one of the highest research priorities of the rapidly industrializing developing countries.

Nutritional hormesis

Evidence for nutritional hormesis is presented for essential vitamin and mineral nutrients, dietary restriction, alcohol (ethanol), natural dietary and some synthetic pesticides, some herbicides, and acrylamide.
Dietary chemoprevention of colorectal cancer.
- MedicineAnnali italiani di chirurgia
- 2008
Healthy nutrition is a necessary but not sufficient condition for colon cancer prevention: accepted the feasibility of an accurate control on every patient's diet, but the difficulty encountered in nutritional chemoprevention is to establish individual metabolic profiles.
Risk Factors for Cancer
- Medicine, BiologyCancer and AIDS
- 2018
The immune deficiency of HIV/AIDS infection underlies the associated defining cancers of Kaposi’s sarcoma and aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma, as well as a residual cancer susceptibility and mortality even after the corrective effect of antiretroviral therapy.

The major causes of cancer are smoking, which accounts for about a third of U.S. cancer and 90% of lung cancer; dietary imbalances: lack of sufficient amounts of dietary fruits and vegetables; and hormonal factors, influenced primarily by lifestyle.
Rodent carcinogens: setting priorities.
- BiologyScience
- 1992
Results indicate that, when viewed against the large background of naturally occurring carcinogens in typical portions of common foods, the residues of synthetic pesticides or environmental pollutants rank low, and cast doubt on the relative importance for human cancer of low-dose exposures to synthetic chemicals.

There is no epidemic of cancer, except for lung cancer due to smoking, and there is no convincing evidence that synthetic chemical pollutants are important for human cancer.
Nurture with ionizing radiation: a provocative hypothesis.
- BiologyNutrition and cancer
- 1999
The combined evidence points to the presence of no-adverse-effect thresholds and of hormesis or beneficial effects at doses below those thresholds, and the implication is that a partial deficiency of ionizing radiation could be remedied by a safe supplementation, possibly through dietary means.

It is possible that dietary and environmental estrogens and antiestrogens may be contra-active, and these interactions must be considered in the overall risk assessment of the potential adverse human and environmental health impacts of these chemicals.
