SHARKS AND
CANCER
Deflating The Myth
New
research shows that sharks do get cancer, including cancer of the cartilage.
As you probably heard , shark cartilage was widely used as alternative treatment
for cancer, based on the idea that sharks do not get cancer.
S cientist at the Registry of Tumors inLower animals at George Washington
University in Washington D.C. reported documenting 40 tumorsin animals like
rays and skates. " The inaccurate claims that sharks do not get cancer have
fostered the use of unproven treatment of sharks cartilage extracts", said
Dr. john c. Harshbarger, the registry's director. ' It appears that sharks
are being destroyed needlessly to exploit desperate people based on erroneous
information."
