Lung cancer can grow for 20 years before being detected. A plant-based diet, however, may help prevent lung cancer. Total meat consumption (especially processed meat) has been associated with lung cancer risk. Eggs also may contain toxic dioxins, which appear to increase the odds of getting lung cancer.
The inclusion of broccoli and other cruciferous and allium veggies in your diet is an effective dietary-based chemo-preventive strategy and seems to protect DNA from mutation. Cruciferous vegetables may be antiproliferative, and produce anti-tumor activity which may inhibit several types of cancer cell growth including leukemia, prostate, breast, cervical, and lung cancer. Similarly, Indian gooseberries also appear can also be effective in slowing cancer cell growth as shown in a petri dish. Supplements do not work as well as whole foods. In fact, lutein pills have even actually been shown to increase the risk of lung cancer.
There is a concern for the risk of respiratory tract cancer from breathing the smoke caused by frying beef, pork and soy based foods. Other airborne contaminants such as asbestos are still present in many older buildings. Green tea is rich in flavonoids, which may explain why Asians have less lung cancer, despite their higher smoking rates. Drinking green tea also provides phytocannabinoids (which ease nausea, pain and have a calming effect) without the potential for increased lung cancer risk associated with smoking marijuana.
The effects of coconut oil are compared to butter and tallow. Even if virgin coconut oil and other saturated fats raise LDL “bad” cholesterol, isn’t that countered by the increase in HDL “good” cholesterol?
Pediatric nutrition authorities have recommended that when it comes to rice and rice-based products, arsenic intake should be as low as possible.
Polyoma viruses discovered in meat can survive cooking and pasteurization.
There is a food that offers the best of both worlds—significantly improving our ability to detox carcinogens, like diesel fumes, and decreasing inflammation in our airways, all the while improving our respiratory defenses against infections.
Just like most doctors smoked in the 1950s, most physicians today continue to consume foods that are contributing to our epidemics of dietary disease.
A mixture of results have been reported using green tea to try to stop or reverse the progression of oral cancer, lung cancer, cervical cancer, and colon cancer.
What would happen if you randomized babies at birth to a lifetime of low cholesterol levels? Nature did it for us! In this video, I introduce the concept of Mendelian randomization.
What happens when you put cancer on a plant-based diet?
Women were placed in the way of harm by their physicians, who acted as unsuspecting patsies for the drug companies.
Only about one in 10,000 people make it to be 100 years old. What’s their secret?
Time to spill the beans on why U.S. Hispanics tend to live the longest—despite less education on average, a higher poverty rate, and worse access to health care.
Mainstream medicine’s permissive attitude towards smoking in the face of overwhelming evidence can be an object lesson for contemporary medical collusion with the food industry.
