"There is overwhelming evidence that cancer is
related to the environment and diet is a factor,
perhaps the major environmental factor."
Dr.D.M.Hegsted-Harvard University.

"30% of cancer in women and 40% of cancer in men
are the result of a poor diet." G. O. Gory MD-Institute
of Health

"One thing for certain: Lifestyle, not heredity, most
influences our chances of avoiding some common forms
of cancer" THE HEALING FOODS pg.94.

Drinking alcohol can up your risk of cancers of the
upper and lower digestive tract, liver, prostate, breast
and colon. If you're a smoker, the combination of
drinking and heavy smoking can make you 43 times
more likely to develop throat cancer and 135 times
more apt to get nasal cancer.------International Agency
for Research on Cancer-Lyon France.

Researchers at University of Oklahoma found that men
who drank 5 or more beers a day had double the risk
for rectal cancer.

Gayle Page of the University of California at Los
Angeles did a study on binge drinking. She found that a
lot of alcohol at one time can stimulate cancer to spread
by depressing the immune system. Even just a few
episodes of intoxication or one binge appeared
sufficient to promote tumor progression.

Caffeine has also been linked to cancer, as well as birth
defects and heart disease.How to be Your Own
Nutritionist. pg.123

A study on Norwegian men who ate the most processed
meat had the highest rates of colon cancer. In a 14 year
study of Swedish men, meat (beef and lamb) was the
only food linked to higher rates of colon cancer.

Another study done of 90,000 women, directed by
Walter Willet, MD of the Harvard School of Public
Health. The study declared no amount of red meat was
safe when it comes to colon cancer. The women who ate
a main dish of meat daily were 250% more apt to
develop colon cancer. However the women who ate red
meat infrequently-once a month-were still 40% more
apt to get colon cancer than those who ate red meat less
than once a month.

"Heavy meat eaters are more vulnerable to cancers of
the pancreas, colon, lung and breast. The risk jumps
even higher if you smoke and do not eat green and
yellow vegetables every day." Takesh Hirayama
Institute of Preventive Oncology, Tokyo, Japan.

"If you step back and look at the data (on colon
cancer), the optimum amount of red meat you eat
should be zero!" Dr. Walter Willett, MD Harvard
researcher.

"Meat contains 14 times more pesticides than
vegetable foods." Kay S. Nelson, MPH. Vegetarianism
pg.1.

Pork also contains a worm called trichina and if it gets
into the system, the disease trichinosis results. There is
no test for trichinosis and there is no known cure. You
may cook the meat thoroughly to kill the worms, but the
dead worms are still there! (If disease, illness or other
things can "trigger" cancer, why take a chance?)

"In contrast (to red meat), fish and chicken seemed to
stave off colon cancer. Eating fish 2-4 times a week
reduced colon cancer chances by 25%. Eating skinless
chicken every day pushed down the risk 50%." Dr.
Walter Willett, MD. Harvard researcher.

What's the best way to cook our chicken and fish??"By
micro waving, stewing, boiling or poaching" Richard H.
Adamson, Ph.D National Cancer Institute.

Frying, grilling and broiling and barbecuing meats at
searing temperatures produce loads of the cancerous
agents. The worst are grilling and barbecuing, in which
the temperatures rise rapidly and very high. Oven
roasting and baking give a slow rise to heat.

(Eating a 1 pound barbecued steak is like sitting down
and smoking 600 cigarettes!!!)

CANCER PROTECTION DIET

*Whole grains-wheat, barley, oats, rye, etc.

*Leafy green vegetables, carrots, potatoes, beets, corn,
etc.

*Fresh fruits, dried fruits, etc.

*Nuts, seeds, beans, etc.

Diet is now considered a major weapon against cancer!
The National Cancer Institute says about 1/3 of all
cancers are linked to diet.

Full-fledged cancer is a long time happening. That
means you have years in which to starve or feed a
potential cancer. Some chemicals must be "activated"
before they can initiate cancer; food can block that.
Antioxidant food substances can snuff out carcinogens
and even repair some of their cellular damage. Even
after the cells have massed into benign structures that
can grow into dangerous tumors, food compounds can
intervene to stop further growth and actually shrink the
patches or pre cancerous cells! Food Your Miracle
Medicine pg 204.

SO WHAT KINDS OF FOODS CAN FIGHT
CANCER CELLS?

Lung cancer: Carrots, and green leafy vegetables.

Colon cancer: Cruciferous veges (broccoli, cauliflower,
etc.) and carrots.

Esophageal, oral and pharyngeal cancers: Fruit.

Laryngeal cancer: Fruit and vegetables.

Stomach cancer: Fruits, lettuce, onions, tomatoes,
celery, squash, especially raw!

Pancreatic cancer: Fruits and vegetables.

Thyroid cancer: Cruciferous vegetables.

Breast cancer: Cruciferous vegetables, fish, beans,
fruit.

"A diet relatively high in beta carotene may reduce the
risk of lung cancer even among those persons who have
smoked for many years." Richard Shekelle, Ph.D.
University of Texas, Houston.

THERE ARE MANY FOODS GOOD FOR THE
FIGHT OF CANCER AND THE PREVENTION OF
IT

Garlic and Onions: More than 30 different enemies of
carcinogens have been identified in garlic and onions.
pg. 207 Russian researchers have reported that garlic
inhibited the growth of tumors, or even prevented their
formation in laboratory animals.
