Doctor Reports
Dr. Edwin B. Astwood,
Senior Physician at New
England Center Hospital and
Professor of Medicine at
Tufts College issued the fol
lowing statement this week.
“'The weed killer (used in
cranberry bogs) contains a
compound which affects the
thyroid giand. It inhibits its
action. This remedy has
been used in medicine for 15
years and in no way causes
cancer. The quantity of this
chemical i n cranberries
would be minute and in no
way causes any trouble—let
alone cancer. The compound
occurs naturally in vegeta
bles: mustard, cabbage, turn
ips, and broccoli—and no one
refrains from eating those
because of this compound ”
