Groups of 15 mice of three different laboratory strains (BALB/c, C3H/He, DBA/2) were fed on
a low iron diet (5 mg iron/kg diet), and three similar groups of 15 mice were maintained on a …

Iron is essential for the growth of all cells, including tumor cells. The authors previously
reported that a variety of transplantable tumors grew faster and larger in mice that were on …

The ability of iron to stimulate the growth of L1210 cells both in DBA-2 mice and in cell
culture is evaluated. Although in vitro stimulation is absent, in vivo studies clearly indicate …

Research and clinical observations during the past six decades have shown that: 1. Iron
promotes cancer cell growth; 2. Hosts attempt to withhold or withdraw iron from cancer cells; …

Iron is abundant universally. During the evolutionary processes, humans have selected iron
as a carrier of oxygen inside the body. However, iron works as a double‐edged sword, and …

Normal and neoplastic cells (like nonpathogenic and pathogenic microorganisms)
apparently have similar needs and tolerances for iron, but neoplastic cells (like pathogenic …

Iron body-stores and iron dietary intake have been sporadically reported to increase the risk
of cancer in humans. To investigate the effect of iron on the development of mammary …

Microbiologists have long believed, and have often demonstrated, that discoveries made in
microbial biochemistry, genetics, nutrition, and physiology can be extrapolated from …

Numerous laboratory and clinical investigations over the past few decades have observed
that one of the dangers of iron is its ability to favour neoplastic cell growth. The metal is …

Four epidemiological studies have been performed that are generally consistent with the
hypothesis that increased available body iron stores increase the risk of cancer or of general …
