Sharks and cancer..........here we go!! Anyone who takes a good look at shark cartilage and the bunk of misinformation and falsehoods surrounding the money making effort to get people to consume it, knows that this is another bit of pseudo-science built on the desire to make money. While is true that many positive things have come from natural occurring substances, do not forget that cancer is essentially a genetic disease. The basis for a cure will come from a technology that reverses the genetic aberration that manifests itself as cancer. This is quite different than plant based biotics that cure bacterial infections.
