Does Paratuberculosis in Meat Trigger Type 1 Diabetes?
The majority of specialists in the field agreed that paraTB in meat and dairy likely represents a risk to human health and should be a high- or medium-priority public health issue.

Does Paratuberculosis in Milk Trigger Type 1 Diabetes?
“Fear of consumer reaction” led the U.S. dairy industry to suppress the discovery in retail milk of live paraTB bacteria, a pathogen linked to type 1 diabetes.

What Causes Insulin Resistance?
Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are caused by a drop in insulin sensitivity blamed on “intramyocellular lipid,” the buildup of fat inside our muscle cells.

Does Casein in Milk Trigger Type 1 Diabetes?
Why might exposure to bovine proteins increase the risk of childhood-onset autoimmune type 1 diabetes?

Reversing Diabetes with Surgery
When type 2 diabetes is reversed after gastric bypass surgery, is it due to the actual operation or just the severely restrictive diet required for recovery?
-
What Causes Diabetes?
Saturated fat can be toxic to the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, explaining why animal fat consumption can impair insulin secretion, not just insulin sensitivity.
-
Diabetes as a Disease of Fat Toxicity
The “twin vicious cycles” explain how the buildup of fat in the cells of our muscles, liver, and pancreas causes type 2 diabetes, which explains why dietary recommendations for diabetics encourage a reduction in fat intake.

Phytates for Rehabilitating Cancer Cells
Unlike most other anticancer agents, the phytates naturally found in whole plant foods may trigger cancer cell differentiation, causing them to revert back to behaving more like normal cells.

Poultry Exposure Tied to Liver and Pancreatic Cancer
Cancer-causing viruses in poultry may explain increased risks of death from liver and pancreatic cancers.

Reducing Cancer Risk in Meat-Eaters
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.

Cancer as an Autoimmune Disease
Because certain tumors such as breast cancers thrive in settings of low-grade inflammation, our immune response can sometimes facilitate tumor growth.

Coffee and Cancer
Coffee consumption is associated with a modest reduction of total cancer incidence.

Bacon & Botulism
The nitrite preservatives in processed meats such as bologna, bacon, ham, and hot dogs form carcinogenic nitrosamines, but also reduce the growth of botulism bacteria—forcing regulators to strike a balance between consumers risking cancer, or a deadly form of food poisoning.
