DALLAS, June 3, 2010 — “After the oil spill in the Gulf, you may want to pass on the sushi, shrimp and other seafood for longer than you think, if you don’t want to get cancer,” warns Milton Carl, Nutritionist at Axe Nutrition and author of “God’s Miracle Cure.”

“With some experts saying that as much as 4,200,000 gallons of oil (100,000 barrels) a day have leaked into the Gulf of Mexico, we have to ask what the long-term effect to our health will be. We know that oil is mainly comprised of hydrocarbons, and that many of the hydrocarbons contained in oil, such as benzene, toluene and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, are known to cause cancer. However, oil also contains heavy metals such as mercury, lead and arsenic that can cause a host of health problems including cancer,” says Carl.
