Burger fans have no beef with latest cancer studies
IRVINE, Calif. — Fatty chemicals in grilled ground beef inhibit stomach tumors in mice, a scientist said yesterday, three years after other studies found that well-done burgers could cause rodent cancers.

The scientist's new research also found cancer-fighting fatty acids in varying amounts in natural and processed cheeses, with the highest levels in Cheez Whiz炒面 spread.
The research was financed partly by milk producers but mostly by the National Cancer
--more National Laboratory reported in May 1966 that hamburgers fried or broiled well-done contained chemicals that could cause cancer, mutations and chromosome damage in mice. This was the first time humans was unknown, but as a precaution, they recommended against cooking meat well-done.
Saturated fats and cholesterol also found in beef and cheese have been linked previously to heart disease and some cancers, so "we're certainly not suggesting that people go out and chow down on cheese and hamburgers," microbiologist Steven Stanser said.

Pariza said his study showed that "in many cases, there are good substances that may count."
"That's why it's a good idea to eat a balanced diet," said Partiza, director of the University of Washington's Center for Food and Nutrition.
He said the cancer-fighting chemicals — called CLA, or conjugated linoleic acids — also occurred naturally in human blood, mother's milk and in most animal products.
"People should be reassured to know there are things in food that prevent cancer." Pariza
Pariza said the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board paid about a third of his laboratory's costs for the last two years of the 10-year research effort.
John Laszlo, the cancer society's senior vice president, defended the quality of Pariza's research, which has been reviewed by other scientists for publication in a scientific journal.
Laszlo said Pariza's discovery that CLA in hamburger could inhibit cancer "illustrates what an oversimplification it is to make pronouncements about diet and cancer."
Scientists at California's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory reported in May 1966 that hamburgers fried or broiled well-done contained chemicals that could cause cancer, mutations and chromosome damage in mice. This was the first time humans was unknown, but as a precaution, they recommended against cooking meat well-done.
Parizia's early studies also found carcinogens in cooked meat, but a few years ago, he found a crude extract from grilled hamburger that was made with a skin-free ice cream exposed to a potent cancer-causing chemical.
One group of mice was given CLA and a second group received none of the substance. All the mice were later fed strong doses of the carcinogen benzoyrene.
In his latest research, he purified and identified LA in extracts of cheeses and grilled hamburgers.
This was repeated weekly for four weeks, and the mice were killed after 20 weeks. Mice that received CLA and the carcinogen averaged two times longer survival than tumors in mice that got only the carcinogen.
CLA has been known for 50 years, but Pariza has his research revealed its cancer-fighting property.
Pariza theorizes that CLA inhibits cancer by blocking damage to chromosomes, the basic hereditary information in all cells, caused by chemicals called oxygen-free radicals.
American Heart Association spokesman Howard Lewis expressed concern people might misinterpret the research and eat too much cheese and meat.
To prevent heart disease, the group recommends a balanced diet of fresh fruit and vegetables low in cholesterol and saturated fat. Those include low-fat cheese and lean meat cut off excess of fat. Lewis said.
Previous research found cancer-inhibiting chemicals in carrots, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage and lettuce.

Polls to re-open for Soviet voters because of splits
The Associated Press
The Soviet news agency Tass released the Central Election Commission's final tally of the votes from March 26 elections for the country's 2,250-member Congress of Peoples Deputies.
MOSCOW — Voters in one out of every eight Soviet parliamentary districts refused to elect anyone, though they had a choice of only one or two members according to official results released yesterday.
Tass said that in 195 of the 1,500 geographical districts across the country, no one got a majority of the vote, though there were only one or two candidates. In those districts, new electoral campaigns will be waged and a second election will be conducted May 14. Tass said.
Don't Drive Drunk
Election results released earlier showed that in the first nationwide multicandidate election in 70 years voters rejected many top-ranking Communist Party and government leaders. They included Yuri Solovey, a member of the ruling Politburo who ran unopposed in Leningrad.
Orlov told Tass that nationwide voter turnout was 89.9 percent.
Boris Yeltsin, the former Moscow party chief who waged an anti-establishment campaign, won his race with more than 89 percent of the vote. Official figures released yesterday indicated that 87.6 percent of those elected on March 26 were party members.
"That high degree of activity gladdens us more than the notorious 99.9 percent participation which we were proud of earlier," Orlov said. "In this case, we was no race for percentage of participation."
In the past, the Soviet Union proclaimed al- almost total participation in elections as proof of citizens' satisfaction, though voters weren't offered a choice.
Tass said runoff elections would be conducted in another 70 districts Sunday for seats in which none of the districts were vacant.
One-third of the congress will consist of deputies elected by the party and its affiliates. labor protesters will be involved.
