In the years preceding my MM diagnosis, I worked in a commercial printing plant and was exposed to benzene daily…

What Fruits & Veggies Should You Buy Organic? The Dirty Dozen and the Clean Ten
“There are a lot of questions surrounding the purchase of organic foods. Is it worth the extra cost? Should all foods be organic? Is it just a hoax? The risk of nonorganic food stems from pesticide residue left on the food after harvest.
Studies show that pesticides may lead to birth defects, nerve damage, cancer, and more. (Besides, does the image of eating foods that have had chemicals dumped on them sound appetizing? Probably not.) The severity of such effects depends on the toxicity and exposure to the pesticide…”
Risk of leukemia and multiple myeloma associated with exposure to benzene and other organic solvents: evidence from the Italian Multicenter Case-control study.
“We did not confirm the known association between benzene and AML, though this is likely explained by the strict regulation of benzene in Italy nearly three decades prior to study initiation.
Our results support the association between benzene, xylene, and toluene and chronic lymphatic leukemia and between benzene and MM with longer latencies than have been observed for AML in other studies.”

Our results highlight the importance of a ‘total diet’ approach to improving survival among cancer patients,” the authors write.”
