Synopsis
His interest in the link between tropical bird breeding and cancer has expanded to the health risks of the intensive rearing of poultry, pigs and cattle for consumption. Artificial breeding of livestock has increased dramatically since the 1950s. Over the past fifty years, our diet has become increasingly unnatural. More meat products from animals, bred solely for consumption, cause more chronic diseases. An increase that keeps pace with the recent rise in cancer mortality.
About Peter A.J. Holst MD PhD
Dr. Peter A.J. Holst worked as a general practitioner in The Hague, the Netherlands. With the support of the Dutch Prevention Fund, he conducted research into new cases of cancer in his own practice (10-year practice survey) and, with the help of pulmonologists, into new cases of lung cancer in all hospitals in The Hague (prospective patient research).
In lung cancer patients, an association has been shown with keeping (and especially breeding) tropical birds and pigeons. This connection has been confirmed by others in new and independent research. His interest in the link between breeding tropical birds and cancer has expanded to the health risks of the intensive breeding and fattening of poultry, pigs and cattle for consumption. Since the fifties of the 20th century, artificial breeding in livestock has increased sharply. Our diet has become increasingly unnatural, which is consistent with the recent increase in cancer mortality.
