You make a very valid point that I often point to when in discussion: all federal studies show NO studies nor evidence. It is often times troubling seeing these crazy warning labels on my products I buy (western smokeless tobacco) and just shaking my head knowing the truth. We're all behind you. Thanks again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-41961976598489955312017-07-14T08:45:36.128-04:002017-07-14T08:45:36.128-04:00Thanks Dr. Rodu for this information.

It would seem from this post and your other findings that we're being lied to on a daily basis by our government that's supposedly looking out for us. It's almost like they'd rather us smoke the higher taxed cigarettes or something, despite smearing smokers and smoking at every turn. I've only recently switched to smokeless this summer 2017 (about 2 months) but I have enjoyed it mostly. My partner has immensely enjoyed the fact I don't reek of smoke anymore. I enjoy the tobacco taste that vaping has been unable to deliver.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14372128857626778330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-64732024225835701562017-05-22T10:03:48.279-04:002017-05-22T10:03:48.279-04:00Andrew,

There is no single link from any federal website that presents all of this information. In fact, websites at the FDA, CDC and National Cancer Institute all claim that smokeless tobacco causes cancer, but none of the claims contain actual evidence, which is minimal to nonexistent.Brad Roduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02780515717969719311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-49937553581594887112017-05-22T09:54:53.603-04:002017-05-22T09:54:53.603-04:00Is there a link for the national institution of ca...Is there a link for the national institution of cancer for the studies by chance?

Getting rid of that would make them raise rates across everyone else. The fact that smokeless tobacco users are generally white males, makes them a very attractive target group.

See my blog post (http://rodutobaccotruth.blogspot.com/2011/11/carcinogens-in-coffee-and-smokeless.html ) on the comparison of coffee and smokeless tobacco.Brad Roduhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02780515717969719311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-46511212161415915102017-02-22T20:50:29.253-05:002017-02-22T20:50:29.253-05:00I don't disagree with you at all, after all yo...I don't disagree with you at all, after all you are a doctor :). I was simply stating that if it could be made safer why not? We know that the aforementioned chemicals in ST are carcinogenic so why not eliminate more of them. I have searched high and low and cannot find much information on other cancers it may contribute too ie. Stomach, pancreatic, etc. Maybe it doesn't at all, but it's tough to decipher truths especially when the governement and large organizations use data and coincidence to state facts. mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055855086189944502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670285911995096389.post-42531973691477748312017-02-22T09:39:05.240-05:002017-02-22T09:39:05.240-05:00Mike,

However, the FDA used invalid risk estimates to calculate the number of annual deaths in the U.S. from using dip (moist snuff) and chew (loose leaf chewing tobacco), and the number of deaths avoided by the proposed rule. Decades of epidemiologic research document that these products have little to no measurable risk for mouth and throat cancer. Therefore, the proposed regulation is therefore unjustified for dip and chew products.

Just my opinion but it seems silly to not make it even safer especially because you advocating its use over smoking. mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055855086189944502noreply@blogger.com
