Hello all,
Recently, researchers found that baby rats inherit 1 anti-cancer gene
from each parent but, 1 inhibits the other.
So rats are left with only 1 anti-cancer gene.
In humans, the same process occurs but there is no inhibition of
the other gene, therefore we have 2 operating anti-cancer genes.
As far I am concerned, this may explain why rats seem to be more
sensitive to carcinogenic chemicals than man. We often times see
statements saying "suspected or confirmed carcinogen to rats"
and nothing about humans beings.
Secondly, often times the amount/concentration given to animals are
way more important than human exposures.
Later,

"They are insane these quebekers"
"Están locos estos quebequeses"

Still a good thing to know - which chemicals do and which don't - given the
current elevated death from cancer rates.
Why anyone would not want to know which were which would be a mystery to me.
