Health Update: Data Confirms Diet and Cancer Links
Hello again everyone:
Here is some new data that adds to a growing body of science-based evidence on what foods can raise or lower our cancer risk.
“A pair of new studies offers more evidence for the value of vegetables and the risk of red meat on the cancer prevention front. Researchers report that high consumption of vegetables – especially lettuce, legumes, and cruciferous varieties – appears to lower the risk of liver cancer/liver disease. A separate team suggests that high consumption of red meat, organ meats, and processed meats boosts the risk of gastric cancer.
The findings of the latter study “reinforce the idea that avoidance of red meat and processed meat is probably good beyond [the prevention of] colorectal cancer,” said corresponding author and epidemiologist Paolo Boffetta, MD, MPH, of Stony Brook University Cancer Center, New York, in an interview.”

Bottom Line:
There is an ever-growing body of evidence supporting the idea that a predominantly plant-based food plan that may incorporate animal-based foods 3 x per week, can result in both improved health for the individual as well as the planet. I would strongly recommend that a great book to start your understanding of how to apply this information is a book by Michael Roizen, MD that is called “What to Eat When” as well as the companion cookbook.
This might be a short blog, however, applying this information to your life is probably the most crucial and fundamental step you can take! This simple step may not only significantly improve your health and protect your future well-being, but it can also move your healthspan out closer to your total lifespan and even possibly extend your lifespan as well.
