    DWARVES may hold the cure to CANCER

    Whatever shortcomings people ascribe to dwarves, a recent study on Ecuadorian little people might finally convince some bigoted members of the larger society to stop selling them short.

    Source: http://tvnz.co.nz/health-news/dwarfs...r-cure-4034349

    For 22 years around 100 members of the Laron dwarfs community have been closely monitored by researchers from the University of Southern California, ABC reports.

    They have discovered almost no cases of cancer or diabetes amongst the group, who all live in a remote village on the slopes of the Andes Mountains in the Loja province of southern Ecuador.

    The Larons all suffer from mutated genes that lower their growth hormone activity, stunting their growth.

      Probably has more to do with their disconnection from real world consumer products, and their living off a natural human diet. I'd have to assume that a "remote" village in Ecuador isn't full of cigarette smokers, teflon frying pans, vehicle exhaust, yadda yadda yadda. Whatever other thousands of things are bringing our own impending doom....

              Untapped market just waiting for exploitation...

              Actually they probably grow their own. They got smokers, I just know it...

                                          A feel-good story ... they don't hold the cure to cancer.

                                          Put them in a place with lots of quickie marts, fast food places, traffic, liquor stores, high-speed internet, etc and see how they do ... if, as a whole, after a few decades, they still didn't get cancer, heart disease, etc, that would be something to get excited about.

                                          To reiterate the point others have made, it's presumably their undeveloped environment along with "natural" living are the reasons for their good health.

                                              There is the reason.

                                              Expose them to pollution, fast food, aspertame, cigarettes, endless medications, and lord knows what else we're taking in every day, and they'll get just as sick as the rest of us.

                                                                              Nothing in the article suggests that is the case...

                                                                              And to add, studying 100 isolated people for 22 years is worthy statistical data? Note the articel says
                                                                              They have discovered almost no cases of cancer or diabetes amongst the group
                                                                              what does that mean? I'd say 2 would be 'almost no cases', but still, it's a 1:50 chance.

                                                                              Using the same analysis, what would 100 random, non-smoking people in Iceland show up after studying them for 22 years?

                                                                              I'd hazard a guess that it's "almost no cases of cancer or diabetes"
