ALBERT SCHWEITZER This an eye opening story: " When serving in tropical Africa, Albert Schweitzer remarked that it was many years before he saw a single case of cancer. It is significant that he attributed the subsequent emergence of cancer to a major change in diet among the local community. Schweitzer believed that the appearance of cancer was caused by introduction of the European diet to Africans. Many studies since the 1920′s have shown an association between consumption of unsaturated oils and the incidence of cancer." NOTE: An obituary in The New York Times of September 6, 1965, described Albert Schweitzer as a theologian, musicologist, organ technician, physician and surgeon, missionary, philosopher of ethics, lecturer, writer and the builder and chief force of the famous hospital at Lambarene, in Gabon, the former French Equatorial Africa.
