Cancer

Cancer is the #2 killer in the United States, and diet may be the #1 cause of cancer. The balance of evidence suggests that a whole food, plant-based diet may help prevent, treat, slow, and even reverse cancer progression. It’s never too late to start eating healthier, as cancer risk may drop after starting a plant-based diet at any age.

Some reasons why plant-based diets may be effective include lowering methionine intake, inhibiting angiogenesis, intercepting carcinogens, and increasing fiber and antioxidants. Populations eating diets centered on whole plant foods have lower rates of cancer. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables—at least 9 daily servings may boost detoxifying enzymes, lower inflammation, lower cholesterol, and make for healthier bowel movements, ridding the body of excess estrogen and cholesterol.

Specific foods that research studies have associated with anti-cancer properties include:
•Apples, especially their peel
•Beans, especially black beans
•Berries, especially cranberries
•Black pepper
•Broccoli
•Ceylon cinnamon
•Chili peppers
•Cocoa
•Coffee
•Dragon’s blood
•Flax seeds
•Garlic
•Green and herbal tea
•Greens
•Indian gooseberries
•Licorice (small amounts)
•Mushrooms, especially white button
•Nori seaweed
•Nuts, especially walnuts
•Red rice
•Sweet potatoes
•Tomatoes
•Turmeric

Other lifestyle habits that appear to help prevent cancer include an hour of exercise every day, 7-hours sleep every night, and reduced exposure to tanning beds, cell-phone radiation, CT scans, and dental x-rays. Meditation may also improve DNA health, preventing premature shortening of our telomeres.

Consumption of animal products appears to increase the risk of cancer.  Research has shown an association between increased risk of cancer and the consumption of the following foods:
•Cooked meats
•Cows’ milk
•Eggs and cheese
•Farm-raised catfish
•Smoked fish
•Poultry
•Vapors from cooking meat

It may be the inflammatory Neu5Gc molecule found in meat that accounts for some of the increased cancer risk. Certain tumors thrive in an inflammatory setting. The insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) may also been linked to cancer. Heme iron found in the blood and muscle tissue of animal foods may also increase risk of cancer, as may the chemical pollutants in meat, which can lead to premature puberty, putting children at higher risk for cancer later in life.

After a cancer diagnosis, cutting down on saturated animal fat appears to improve cancer survival. A neutropenic diet (one devoid of fresh fruit and vegetables) may not help those undergoing chemotherapy, but oatmeal lotion may help with chemotherapy induced rashes.

Other exposures that appear to increase cancer risk include:
•Acrylamide in foods such as French fries
•Alcohol
•Ayurvedic supplements
•Betel nuts
•Caramel coloring
•Chlorhexidine found in some mouthwashes
•Fungal toxins sometimes found in apple juice
•Industrial chemical pollutants, including cadmium
•Kimchi
•Lutein supplements
•Marijuana
•Red dye No. 3
•Statin drugs
•Yerba mate

I'm perplexed

Yerba mate has positive benefits to help fight cancer

Was there an error to the the page ?
And it has other positive benefits
Of potassium, manganese and magnesium

🤔

Yes it has caffeine too since its in the black tea family

I will have to check my package information again

I've been using it adding cinnamon
And nutrition bed my body detoxing
Rather rapidly

Back soon

Great information other wise
Just seen many benefits from Cancer patience

Great point

Wash very well
Lucky in our area we have local farms that
Don't use pesticides
As well
As I've implemented a garden in our yard

Lucky with the cherry tree etc

There is a difference in the taste of the food

Thank you Lady RD

That is an excellent way to go. Here in Oklahoma there are a lot of local growers that don't use her baci design or pestacides and if you are able to have a garden definitely do it. The labor pays off with a deliscious abundance of fresh tasting foods.
Thank you response Lady DM it's always a joy to hear from you.

Always great to connect Lady RD
Love seeing you here and giving us your health expertise

Your warm months far exceed ours

Very lucky soil in our yard has always been
Incredible and yields a great garden.

Cherry trees in the city is incredible

Produce for humans and other living beings

I'm a vegetarian and taste is high priority for me

As well having learned to harvest the garden in ways
That I can enjoy it in the winter months

Thanks again

Look forward to more health interests
From you Lady RD

Great information Clay. I have found that in this day and age with mega farms on the rise, that all foods that are mass produced for sale to the public have been treated with chemicals that can cause an increased risk in cancer. If you buy fresh fruits or veges from the grocery store, make sure to wash them well before eating or preparing them. This will was most of the chemicals off and reduce the risk of ingestion of harmful substances. If you can always grow your own.

great advice lady Red.
