Might appeals to masculinity and manhood help men with prostate cancer change their diet to improve their survival?

Anti-inflammatory drugs abolish the hyperfiltration and protein leakage response to meat ingestion, suggesting that animal protein causes kidney stress through an inflammatory mechanism.



Food as Medicine: Preventing and Treating the Most Dreaded Diseases with Diet

Dr. Greger has scoured the world’s scholarly literature on clinical nutrition and developed this new presentation based on the latest in cutting edge research exploring the role diet may play in preventing, arresting, and even reversing some of our most feared causes of death and disability.



Flame-Retardant Pollutants and Child Development

PBDE fire-retardant chemicals in the food supply may contribute to attention and cognitive deficits in children.



How to Treat Kidney Stones with Diet

Decreasing animal protein and sodium intake appears more effective in treating calcium oxalate and uric acid kidney stones (nephrolithiasis) than restricting calcium or oxalates.



The Safety of Heme vs. Non-Heme Iron

Heme iron, the type found predominantly in blood and muscle, is absorbed better than the non-heme iron that predominates in plants, but may increase the risk of cancer, stroke, heart disease, and metabolic syndrome.



Turmeric Curcumin, MGUS, & Multiple Myeloma

Which plant and animal foods are associated with the development of multiple myeloma, and what effect might the spice turmeric have on the progression of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance?



Bowel Wars: Hydrogen Sulfide vs. Butyrate

Sulfur dioxide preservatives in dried fruit, sulfites in wine, and the putrefaction of undigested animal protein in the colon can release hydrogen sulfide, the rotten egg gas associated with inflammatory bowel disease.



Switching from Beef to Chicken & Fish May Not Lower Cholesterol

The negative impact of red meat on our cholesterol profile may be similar to that of white meat.



Reducing Glycotoxin Intake to Prevent Alzheimer’s

Advanced glycation end products in our diet may suppress sirtuin enzyme activity and play a role in age-related brain volume loss.



Can Diet Protect Against Kidney Cancer?

Plant-based diets appear to protect against renal cell carcinoma both directly and indirectly.



Paleo Diets May Negate Benefits of Exercise

The deleterious effects of a Paleolithic diet appear to undermine the positive effects of a Crossfit-based high-intensity circuit training exercise program.



Essential Tremor & Diet

Neurotoxins in chicken, such as the beta-carboline alkaloid harman, may explain the link between meat consumption and hand tremor, the most common movement disorder.



Superbugs in Conventional vs. Organic Chicken

The level of multidrug antibiotic-resistant bacteria contamination is compared between meat from animals raised conventionally, and certified organic meat from animals raised without being fed antibiotics.



Bacon, Eggs, and Gestational Diabetes During Pregnancy

Eating meat or eggs before pregnancy may increase the risk of gestational diabetes.



How Long to Detox from Fish Before Pregnancy?

How many months does it take to clear 99% of the mercury and other industrial toxins from one’s body, and what role might our fat stores play in holding on to fat-soluble pollutants?



Arteries of Vegans vs. Runners

The carotid arteries of those eating plant-based diets appear healthier than even those just as slim (long-distance endurance athletes who’ve run an average of 50,000 miles).



How to Reach the Antioxidant “RDA”

Even nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day may not reach the minimum recommended intake of antioxidants if one doesn’t make the right choices.



Phosphate Additives in Meat Purge and Cola

The consumption of phosphorus preservatives in junk food, and injected into meat, may damage blood vessels, accelerate the aging process, and contribute to osteoporosis.



Counteracting the Effects of Dioxins Through Diet

Phytonutrients in certain plant foods may block the toxic effects of industrial pollutants, like dioxins, through the Ah receptor system.



Nutrient-Dense Approach to Weight Management

Americans eating meat-free diets average higher intakes of nearly every nutrient, while maintaining a lower body weight—perhaps due, in part, to their higher resting metabolic rates.



BOLD Indeed: Beef Lowers Cholesterol?

The beef industry designed a study to show that a diet containing beef was able to lower cholesterol—if one cuts out enough poultry, pork, fish, and cheese to halve one’s total saturated fat intake.



Testing Your Diet with Pee and Purple Cabbage

Plant-based diets tend to be alkaline-forming. This may help protect muscle mass, and reduce the risk of gout and kidney stones. The pH of one’s urine can be estimated with natural pigments, using kitchen chemistry.



Alkaline Diets, Animal Protein, and Calcium Loss

The decades-old dogma that the acid-forming quality of animal protein leads to bone loss has been called into question.



Breast Cancer Survival Vegetable

Simple changes in diet and lifestyle may quadruple a woman’s survival rate from breast cancer.



Treating Multiple Sclerosis with the Swank MS Diet

A plant-based diet may not only be the safest treatment for multiple sclerosis; it may also be the most effective.



Starving Cancer with Methionine Restriction

Methionine restriction—best achieved through a plant-based diet—may prove to have a major impact on patients with cancer because, unlike normal tissues, many human tumors require the amino acid methionine to grow.
