Doctor Furst became famous for demonstrating the fact that butter yellow, a yellow dye used to make margarine look like butter, was a carcinogen. When Dr. Furst fed this artificial dye to animals he could predict the day they would develop cancer and the kind of cancer they would develop.
Dr. Furst also learned that one could supplement the diets of laboratory rats and they became immune to the cancer causing effects of butter yellow. The supplemental nutrients protective against cancer became commercialized in the NeoLife Betagard. The supplement bears Dr. Furst's signature as a memorial of his great work in furthering our understanding of the relationship between nutrition and cancer. Dr. Furst taught us that cancer is best prevented by firstly, avoiding toxin exposure and secondly, by obtaining an optimal intake of the nutrients which enable us to cope with toxic exposures.
