Ernst L. Wynder is internationally known for his important discoveries in the field of human chronic disease causation, that is the underlying mechanisms, studied in various animal models, as a foundation for recommendations on the prevention of these diseases. These include coronary heart disease, and the main human cancers including cancer of the lung, caused by traditional smoking habits, and the nutritionally linked cancers, namely cancer of the breast, prostate, colon, pancreas, and urinary bladder. Much of this research was performed in a chronic disease prevention institution--created by Dr. Wynder--the American Health Foundation. There were outreach programs to educate people about proper lifestyles to secure disease prevention, including beginning health education in children. |
