But do you really know how much less the incidence is of certain types of cancers among vegetarians?brbrVegetarian diets, naturally low in saturated fat, high in fiber, and replete with cancer-protective phytochemicalshelp to prevent cancer. Large studies in England and Germany have shown that vegetarians are about 40 percent less likely to develop cancer compared to meat-eaters. In the U.S., studies of Seventh-Day Adventists, who are largely lacto-ovo vegetarians, have shown significant reductions in cancer risk among those who avoided meat.brbrSimilarly, breast cancer rates are dramatically lower in nations, such as China, that follow plant-based diets. Interestingly, Japanese women who follow Western-style, meat-based diets are eight times more likely to develop breast cancer than women who follow a more traditional plant-based diet. Meat and dairy products contribute to many forms of cancer, including cancer of the colon, breast, ovaries, and prostate.brbrHarvard studies that included tens of thousands of women and men have shown that regular meat consumption increases colon cancer risk by roughly 300 percent. High-fat diets also encourage the bodys production of estrogens. Increased levels of this sex hormone have been linked to breast cancer.brbrA recent report noted that the rate of breast cancer among premenopausal women who ate the most animal (but not vegetable) fat was one-third higher than that of women who ate the least animal fat. A separate study from Cambridge University also linked diets high in saturated fat to breast cancer. One study linked dairy products to an increased risk of ovarian cancer.brbrThe process of breaking down the lactose (milk sugar) evidently damages the ovaries. Daily meat consumption triples the risk of prostate enlargement. Regular milk consumption doubles the risk and failure to consume vegetables regularly nearly quadruples the risk.brbrVegetarians avoid the animal fat linked to cancer and get abundant fiber, vitamins, and phytochemicals that help to prevent cancer. In addition, blood analysis of vegetarians reveals a higher level of natural killer cells, specialized white blood cells that attack cancer cells.brbrNutrition That Fight CancerbrbrAs the nations second most deadly disease, cancer brings with it several risk factors. Therefore, its logical that we take a good look at the foods were eating, and start introducing nutrient-rich foods that are known to help reduce the cancer risk. A diet rich in fiber, vegetables, and fruits, including juices made from 100 percent fruit juice, can make a big difference in your cancer risk.brbrFoods rich in phytochemicals which are found in beans and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, brussels sprouts, and kale are strong choices. So are dark green leafy vegetables like spinach, romaine lettuce, and collard greens, which are packed with fiber, lutein, and carotenoids - all cancer-fighting substances. Focus on choosing foods that have abundant amounts of vitamins C, E, and A, all antioxidants themselves. These help protect you from cancer by preventing the growth of free radicals in your body.brbrTomatoes are an awesome cancer-fighting superfood. Not only do tomatoes contain lycopene, the antioxidant phytochemical that also helps prevent heart disease, but they’re a good source of vitamins A, C, and E, all which do battle against cancer-causing free radicals. Add them to your salad or use as a topping on your homemade pizza. Theyre also a great way of adding some zest to your favorite sandwich.brbrWatermelon is also stuffed full of antioxidants, and includes about 80 percent of your daily vitamin C requirement. It is also a great source of vitamin A, or beta carotene. And like tomatoes, it also contains lycopene.brbrCabbage is a cruciferous vegetable, which help reduce the risk of colon and rectal cancer. Plus cabbage is rich in fiber and has almost 50 percent of daily requirement of vitamin C, making it a well-rounded superfood with cancer-fighting power. Carrots are also a wonderful source of fiber and beta carotene, and they have about three times the daily requirement of vitamin A.brbrDid you know that one-quarter cup of kidney beans has the same amount of fiber and protein as two ounces of red meat? Whole wheat pasta is also a good source of fiber, and broccoli will tip the daily scales for your daily vitamin A and C needs. Toss them all together with your favorite low-fat Italian dressing for a simple dinner of cancer-fighting proportions.brbrStrawberries and blueberries are rich in vitamin C and fiber. Theyre quick and simple finger food, and easily be added to your favorite whole grain cereal oatmeal, or low-fat yogurt.br /brbr /The article author Liz Allen is manages the a href=’http://www.mesothelioma-ur-resource.com/’mesothelioma cancer information/a website, that offers mesothelioma facts and a href=’http://www.mesothelioma-ur-resource.com/mesothelioma/’mesothelioma resource online/a.

br /br
br /What is this substance? This is not some dicey miracle cure that sets you back thousands of dollars and probably won’t work. This amazing stuff costs nearly nothing and you probably already own some.
br /
br /Ever wonder why hot dogs taste so good covered with mustard? Hot dog mustard contains no less that 3 cutting-edge cancer enemies. Maybe nature’s trying to tell us something. I am not a big fan of hot dogs and as you may know, hot dogs contain chemicals called nitrates that may encourage cancer. But the mustard you slap on your franks is something else, an anti-cancer arsenal.
br /
br /Yellow mustard contains these three cancer fighters, selenium, isothiocyanates and curcumin. All by itself, selenium may cut your prostate cancer risk nearly in half. Isothiocyanates, mustard seeds are packed with these good guys and they can stop the formation and growth of cancer cells. They could save your gut from big, bad trouble.
br /
br /The big kahuna is curcumin, this is what gives ballpark mustard its vivid yellow hue. It halts the spread of breast cancer and makes chemotherapy less toxic. Researchers at the University of Leicester in England say it could even be a powerful weapon against hormone-resistant prostate cancer.
br /
br /The research has a way to go and so far it’s been mostly on lab animals. The point is that you can do plenty to curb cancer without ever leaving your kitchen. There are many other ways to get curcumin in your diet. Hot dog mustard doesn’t contain nearly as much as Indian curry, and if curry is not your thing, curcumin supplements are available. Adhere to the recommended dosages though and don’t over do it.
br /
br /It may even help save you from Alzheimer’s, colitis, Crohn’s or even cystic fibrosis. Scientists are saying curcumin could help with all of these.
br /
br /Some other bits of information, men, watch your calcium consumption. New studies show that men who consume lots of dairy have a 32% higher risk of prostate cancer, and calcium could be the culprit.
br /
br /If you ever go for a cancer screening, there are few things to be aware of. You need to protect yourself with the facts, and one of the facts is that not all health professionals are created equal. There are the good and the not so good. Some health professionals are greedy and have exploited cancer fears and made billions of dollars in the bargain. They do this by using disease mongering, creating diseases that just aren’t there. And cancer screenings are one way to do it. Lets not be naive.
br /
br /For instance, cancers that will not kill you or will disappear are extremely common. Yet when caught on sophisticated medical screening scans, they will most often be treated aggressively, often resulting in expensive and dangerous treatments.
br /
br /Another for instance, false positives, spots and cancers that will never harm you are extremely common. One prime example is thyroid cancer. Very few people die from thyroid cancer.
br /
br /For years, a breast mass called lobular carcinoma in situ was treated aggressively, often with single or double mastectomy. Today, according to the Annals of Surgical Oncology, it is considered simply an incidental finding. I wonder how many women have lost their breasts when there was no need for that to happen.
br /
br /The best way to survive cancer is to use a phytonutrient therapy that treats the whole body, because cancer is always systemic, i.e.,
br /throughout the system.br /br /Joni Bell has many years of extensive study in the area of natural cancer prevention and treatment.
