SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif., Dec. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- While more recent treatments are extending the lives of children fighting cancer, the incidence of this and other non-communicable diseases, like birth defects, autism, cognitive impairment and reproductive problems, is on the rise.

Key Points:

  • For example, in early 2021, a congressional subcommittee stated that many baby foods in the United States contain dangerous toxic heavy metals.
  • According to the Executive Director of End Kids Cancer (EKC) , Frank Kalman, their foundation is doing something about it.
  • End Kids Cancer was created to fund the development of new treatments to save children's lives.
