It&apos;s most definitely not a medical resource. I could probably have done the same with almost any newspaper, but the Daily Mail is uniquely deserving of opprobrium.&lt;p&gt;You can get the code and a database export on GitHub if you&apos;re interested: &lt;a href=&quot;http://github.com/threedaymonk/kill-or-cure&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://github.com/threedaymonk/kill-or-cure&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wrote the whole thing one Sunday night and tweeted about it at midnight; by midday the next day, I had successfully crowdsourced the analysis of all the articles. If I&apos;d known how successful it would be, I&apos;d have written a better, more detailed crowdsourcing process.</text></comment>

Some examples:&lt;p&gt;Bacon causes cancer:
&lt;i&gt;&quot;High doses of inorganic phosphate salts – which are used to enhance the texture and flavour of processed meats...&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;i&gt;&quot;Cotton production relied heavily on arsenic pesticides. It left residues in the soils which are still there and is being picked up by the rice.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;
