Please remove this article from your website or add a disclaimer. It is inaccurate and misleading. There are many causes to cancer and no "cures", only treatments. "Research has suggested" is a helpful phrase. Research has suggested that leading an overall healthy lifestyle (e.g. eating veggies, exercising, keeping your stomach trim) reduces the risk of cancer. A person can drink green tea every day by the gallon and still get cancer. You unfairly criticized an earlier commenter who called you out on your over-simplification of a scientific article. You said that it's not like you could quote the entire article, but what you could have done is summarize their findings without overgeneralizing them. Take responsibility for your actions and at least add an update that this article may not represent the findings of the study it cites.
P.S. Why should any commenter have to reveal their identity to you? Do you need to know someone's name, address, or email before you can adequately respond to a fair criticism? Does it somehow help you construct a response to be able to write "Dear Anne*" before you continue? Or do you want to Google us to see how qualified we are to criticize you, or possibly "heckle in kind" on our own websites? Point blank: We shouldn't, you don't, it doesn't, and you tell me. *my real name, use it if it helps
