Cancer and health woo

Various websites[1][2], books, and alternative medicine proponents tout the health benefits of mushrooms in general. There are a significant number of studies that look at mushroom extracts and their effect on cancer, and currently no evidence exists that even suggests such curative properties.[3]

High doses of A. bisporus powder were found to be carcinogenic in rats.[4] High doses of raw A. bisporus were also found to be carcinogenic in mice.[5]
