Which later turn into cancer if not caught fast enough.…
Our genes are chemically changed by what we eat. Small cases of cancer ( 1-2%) aren’t due to genes so, there’s a big possibility that it’s coming from the nutrients in animal foods that is increasing cancer…
This shows the absurdity of how modern medicine presents itself as doing one thing but does another. 4. What is the connection between animal proteins and cancer? (Answer in about 50 words.) Animal protein, after it is consumed, works its way into the calls and turns on the cancer-causing process.…
Another study, published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, theorized that a diet high in simple carbohydrates may increase the risk of colon cancer, possibly through its impact on plasma glucose levels.

Or it could be that the Indians ate their organs, which were rich in nutrients, which could have helped preventing cancer. Uneaten vegetables and fruits could also play a role in the forming of cancer, because it is well known that they can provide nutrients and maybe be a way to prevent cancer. “Quality animal protein,’ which means to me, grass fed beef, bison, goat, and such, as well as…
Bowel cancer is the term used for a cancerous tumour that presents itself in the large bowel and can go by other names such as colon or rectal cancer depending on where it starts from, it also includes rectal cancer. It can also present itself in the small intestine. Around 1 in 20 people residing in the United Kingdom will develop a form of bowel cancer and about 40,000 cases of bowel cancer are diagnosed each year. There are four sections to the bowel in which cancer can develop in any of them.

Stomach Cancer among Asian Americans Although cancer affects all ethnicities, it is the leading cause of death for Asian Americans. Furthermore, it seems that Asian American subgroups each have varying degrees of susceptibility among the many types of cancers. According to Keiro.org (n.d.),” Japanese Americans have a significantly higher rate of stomach cancer than whites in the United States”. The United States has one of the lowest incidence rates of stomach cancer among countries while Japan is among the countries with the highest incidence of stomach cancer. Therefore, genetics may play a big role in stomach cancer among Japanese Americans.…
The major function of the large intestine is to absolve water from the remaining indigestible food matter and transmit the useless waste material from the body. The stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food, with secretion of begin enzymatic digestion of…
I don't really have a pony in the race of the vegetarians vs. the Paleo style meat eaters. Whatever keeps me cancer free will work for me. I did thoroughly read and enjoy the book "The China Study", which has a very convincing theory that cancer was correlated to increased animal protein intake. However, there was one big question left unanswered, which I proceeded to go out and answer for myself. Why have there been some tribes and cultures, namely the Native American "Inuit", Inuit being the correct word, and the word they call themselves, as well as Navajo and others, who were [supposedly] cancer free before contact with Europeans in spite of, the high intake of animal protein in their diet?…

Red meat contains a component which is haeme (an iron porphyrin pigment) which it produces free ferrous iron which increases the production of ROS and peroxide which lead to inflammation, genetic mutation and aid in cancer development. It is a reasonable source because it is passed through different organization such as International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and world health organization Fund and American Institute for Cancer Research which made research and looked into the consequence of red meat or processed meat.…
