Parece que no hay diferencias consistentes en cuanto a la cantidad de vitaminas y minerales que tienen los productos cultivados ecológicamente comparados con aquellos cultivados convencionalmente, pero las frutas y verduras ecológicas tienen más fitonutrientes fenólicos.
Los carcinógenos del pollo a la parrilla y al horno pueden aumentar el riesgo de cáncer de páncreas, mientras que la curcumina, el pigmento amarillo que se encuentra en la cúrcuma, puede llegar a ayudar incluso en estados avanzados de esta enfermedad.
La presencia de neurotoxinas en el pollo tales como la beta-carbolina alcaloide harmane, podría explicar la relación entre el consumo de carne y el temblor en las manos, el desorden del movilidad más frecuente.
La relación entre el cáncer y el consumo de alimentos fritos puede deberse a los carcinógenos que se forman a temperaturas elevadas en los alimentos de origen animal (aminas heterocíclicas e hidrocarbonos policíclicos) y en los de origen vegetal (acrilamida).
The dramatic rise of allergic diseases such as eczema and seasonal allergies may be related to dietary exposure to endocrine-disruptor xenoestrogens, such as alkylphenol industrial pollutants.
La colina podría ser la razón por la que el consumo de huevos se asocia con la progressión del cáncer de próstata y la muerte.
The boost in detoxifying enzymes triggered by cruciferous vegetable consumption may last for weeks!
Using the cooked meat carcinogen PhIP to turn normal breast cells cancerous, researchers explore the use of green tea to interrupt this malignant transformation.
Even vegetarians could potentially be exposed to the carcinogens typically formed by cooking meat through eggs, cheese, creatine sports supplements, and cigarette smoke.
Those who eat meat risk food poisoning from undercooked meat, but also exposure to cooked meat carcinogens in well-cooked meat. By boiling meat, non-vegetarians can mediate their risk of both.
The cooked meat carcinogen PhIP—found in fried bacon, fish, and chicken—may not only trigger cancer and promote tumor growth, but also increase its metastatic potential, by increasing its invasiveness.
DNA-damaging chemicals, formed when meat is cooked, stimulate breast cancer cells almost as much as pure estrogen, and can infiltrate the ducts where most breast cancers arise.
The official National Cancer Institute report on the “unacceptable” burden of cancer stemming from industrial chemical pollutants is strongly worded, but lacks sufficient dietary guidance.
The ability of green versus white tea to protect against in vitro DNA damage caused by a cooked chicken carcinogen (heterocyclic amine).
The association between poultry and cancer may be explained by the presence in chickens’ and turkeys’ flesh of industrial carcinogens such as dioxins, oncogenic (cancer-causing) viruses, and/or the drugs that were fed to the birds.
Breast cancer survivors may reduce their chances of survival if they eat too much saturated fat, found primarily in the American diet in cheese, chicken, and junk food.
What is responsible for the rising prevalence of atopic diseases, such as food allergies, asthma, hay fever, and eczema?
