Which foods should we eat and avoid to prevent and treat acid reflux before it can place us at risk for Barrett’s esophagus and cancer?



Never Too Late to Start Eating Healthier

Since many tumors take decades to grow it’s remarkable that cancer risk can so dramatically be reduced– even late in life.

Does Meditation Affect Cellular Aging?

Dr. Dean Ornish showed that his plant-based diet, exercise, and stress management intervention could in effect reverse the aging of our DNA. What effect might the stress management component have had?



Prevent Cancer from Going on TOR

Suppressing the engine-of-aging enzyme TOR (Target of Rapamycin) by reducing intake of leucine–rich animal products, such as milk, may reduce cancer risk.



Cancer Risk from French Fries

The association between cancer and the consumption of deep-fried foods may be due to carcinogens formed at high temperatures in animal foods (heterocyclic amines and polycyclic hydrocarbons) and plant foods (acrylamide).



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.



Back to Our Roots: Curry and Cancer

Dramatically lower cancer rates in India may in part be attributable to their more plant-based, spice-rich diet.

Lifestyle Medicine: Treating the Causes of Disease

If doctors can eliminate some of our leading killers by treating the underlying causes of chronic disease better than nearly any other medical intervention, why don’t more doctors do it?



Eggs, Choline, and Cancer

Choline may be the reason egg consumption is associated with prostate cancer progression and death.
