Abstract

The higher incidence of urinary cancer among Jews than non-Jews in the Acre District of Israel led the authors to examine differences in diet and environmental factors. Patients with urologic diseases including cancer were evaluated for fluid intake and use of olives and olive oil, cumin, pepper, and chili peppers. Possible mechanisms of action for these dietary ingredients are discussed.
