WHAT IS CANCER? • A DEGENERATIVE PROCESS THAT DEVELOPS OVER A LONG PERIOD OF TIME AND GOES THROUGH MANY STAGES • STARTS OUT WITH DAMAGE TO A CELL
STAGES OF CARCINOGENESIS • INITIATION– DNA DAMAGED BY CARCINOGEN • PROMOTION- CELL REPLICATION • PROGRESSION- INCREASED GROWTH • METASTASIS- TUMOR SPREAD
HOW DOES A CELL RESPOND TO DAMAGE? IT GOES MAD STOPS COMMUNICATING WITH ITS NEIGHBORS STEALS NUTRIENTS FROM THE BODY (BLOOD VESSELS) GROWS AND SPREADS, UNCONTROLLABLY STRIVES FOR ETERNAL LIFE MAY TAKE 10-40 YEARS BEFORE IT MANIFESTS
CANCER IN AMERICA • OVER 1 MILLION NEW CASES, ANNUALLY • 500,000 DEATHS, ANNUALLY • 1 IN 3 INDIVIDUALS ALIVE TODAY WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER • I IN 5 INDIVIDUALS ALIVE TODAY WILL DIE FROM CANCER
MOST COMMON CANCERS IN AMERICANS • LUNG • COLON • BREAST • PROSTATE
CANCERS ASOCIATED WITH DIET AND OVERWEIGHT • BREAST (POSTMENOPAUSAL) • UTERUS • ESOPHAGUS • COLON • KIDNEY • MAYBE PROSTATE
PRINCIPLES OF CANCER PREVENTION 1. DECREASE EXPOSURE TO CARCINOGENS 2. CHANGE INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE BODY SO THAT IT DOES NOT SUPPORT CARCINOGENESIS
WHAT IS LIFESTYLE ? HOW WE LIVE OUR LIVES EVERYDAY
THE POWER OF LIFESTYLE TO PREVENT CANCER 70% REDUCTION IN CANCER RISK • HEALTHY NUTRITION • EXERCISE ONE-HOUR DAILY • STOP SMOKING • REDUCE STRESS
SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION(1970’s) 23 COUNTRIES WITH HIGH AND LOW CANCER RATES • THE MORE ANIMAL PRODUCTS PEOPLE CONSUMED, THE GREATER THEIR RISKS OF COLORECTAL, BREAST, OVARIAN AND PROSTATE CANCER • THE MORE FRUITS, VEGETABLES, WHOLE GRAINS AND FISH PEOPLE CONSUMED, THE LOWER THEIR RISKS OF CANCER • PEOPLE WHO MIGRATED TOOK ON THE CANCER RISK OF THE COUNTRY TO WHICH THEY MIGRATED DOLL AND ARMSTRONG INT J CANCER, 1975:15, 617
WORLD CANCER RESEARCH FUND (1997) INTERNATIONAL PANEL OF EXPERTS COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW OF 250 CASE CONTROL AND COHORT STUDIES OVERALL CONCLUSION: “THE GREATER THE CONSUMPTION OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES THE LOWER THE RISKS OF CANCER OF THE MOUTH, PHARYNX, ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH, COLON, RECTUM AND LUNG”
EVIDENCE FROM EPIDEMIOLOGIC, ANIMAL AND BIOMARKER STUDIES “HIGHER INTAKE OF FRUITS & VEGETABLES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A LOWER RISK OF VARIOUS TYPES OF CANCER” FRUITS PROBABLY LOWER RISK OF ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH, LUNG POSSIBLY LOWER RISK OF MOUTH, PHARYNX, COLORECTUM, LARYNX, KIDNEY, BLADDER VEGETABLES PROBABLY LOWER RISK OF ESOPHAGUS, COLORECTUM POSSIBLY LOWER RISK OF MOUTH, PHARYNX, STOMACH, LARYNX, LUNG, OVARY, KIDNEY INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER/WHO 2003
HOW DIET IMPACTS CANCER RISKS • INSULIN/IGF-1 • FREE RADICALS/ANTIOXIDANTS • DETOXIFICATION ENZYMES • DNA REPAIR
HIGH INSULIN LEVELS IGF-1 • Causes Damaged Cells To Multiply • Prevents Damaged Cells From Dying • Increases Production of Sex Steroids (Estrogen, Testosterone)
HIGH INSULIN LEVELS HIGH CONSUMPTION • RED MEATS (PORK, BEEF, PROCESSED MEATS) • HIGH-FAT DAIRY PRODUCTS (CHEESE, WHOLE MILK) • SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES (PROCESSED SWEETS) • REFINED GRAINS (WHITE RICE, FLOUR, WHITE BREAD) LOW CONSUMPTION • FRUITS AND VEGETABLES • NUTS/WHOLE GRAINS (BROWN RICE, 100% WHOLE WHEAT) • FIBER (OATMEAL, APPLES, VEGETABLES, GRAINS, BEANS) • BEANS (ANY KIND) • SPROUTS (ANY KIND)
HIGH INSULIN LEVELS OTHER CAUSES • Obesity • Physical Inactivity
FREE RADICALS MOLECULES THAT DAMAGE CELLS • ENVIRONMENT (POLLUTION, TOBACCO, ETC) • INTERNALLY (BREAKDOWN OF WHAT WE EAT AND DRINK)
ANTIOXIDANTS WHAT THEY DO • PREVENT FREE RADICAL FROM BEING FORMED • REMOVE FREE RADICALS BEFORE THEY DAMAGE CELLS • REPAIR DAMAGED CELLS BEFORE THEY MULTIPLY • ELIMINATE DAMAGED CELLS
NATURAL SOURCES OF ANTIOXIDANTS • Citrus Fruits (VITAMIN C) • Nuts and Whole Grains (VITAMIN E) • Carrots, Mangoes, Squash, Beets, Sweet Potatoes, Spinach, Kale (CAROTENOIDS) • Leafy Greens, Berries, Cherries (FLAVONOIDS) • Garlic, Onions, Leeks (ALLYL SULFIDES) • Green Tea, Grapes, Wine (POLYPHENOLS)
DETOXIFICATION ENZYMES DETOXIFY CARCINOGENS • PREVENT FORMATION • PROMOTE EXCRETION
DETOXIFICATION ENZYMES NATURAL SOURCES OF DETOXIFICATION ENZYMES • LEAFY GREEN VEGETABLES (FLAVONOIDS) • CRUCIFEROUS VEGETABLES (ISOTHIOCYANATES, INDOLE 3-CARBINOL) • ALLYL SULFIDES (GARLIC, ONIONS, LEEKS)
DNA DAMAGE & REPAIR FOLIC ACID DARK GREEN VEGETABLES
ANIMAL-PRODUCTS AND CANCER DEVELOPMENT • COOKING MEAT AT HIGH TEMPERATURES PRODUCES CARCINOGENS THAT DAMAGES CELLS • ANIMAL PROTEIN PRODUCES MESSAGES THAT EXPANDS LIFE SPAN OF DAMAGED CELLS (IGF-1) • EXCESS ENERGY FROM ANIMAL FAT PROMOTES MULTIPLICATION AND GROWTH OF DAMAGED CELLS
THE HIGH RISK CANCER DIET ANIMAL-BASED • RED MEAT, CHEESE, EGGS, COW’S MILK HIGH TEMPERATURES TO COOK MEAT • FRIED, GRILLED, BARBEQUED MEATS PROCESSED FOODS • JUNK FOODS AND FAST FOODS OVEREATING
THE CANCER PREVENTION DIET • FRESH FRUITS & VEGETABLES • BEANS • NUTS & GRAINS • SPROUTS
SIMPLIFIED VERSION • ANIMAL- BASED DIET = HIGH RISK • PLANT-BASED DIET = LOW RISK
CANCER PREVENTION DIETARY GUIDELINES • EAT 9-10 SERVINGS OF FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, BEANS, GRAINS, NUTS AND SPROUTS DAILY (RAINBOW-SHOPPING) • EAT NATURAL FIBER DAILY • MINIMIZE OR ELIMINATE INTAKE OF ANIMAL PRODUCTS • ELIMINATE FRIED, GRILLED OR BARBEQUED MEAT • REMONVE SKIN FROM CHICKEN AND TURKEY
CANCER PREVENTION DIETARY GUIDELINES • REPLACE COFFEE WITH GREEN TEA (4-5 CUPS), DAILY • DRINK 6-8 GLASSES OF WATER, DAILY • BEST SOURCE OF WATER IS FROM PLANTS
EXERCISE • AT LEAST ONE HOUR EACH DAY
ALABAMA • ONLY 1 OUT OF EVERY 5 ADULTS EAT AT LEAST 5 SERVINGS OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES EACH DAY • ONLY 1 OUT OF 10 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
“IT IS TRUE THAT WE ALL HAVE TO DIE FROM SOMETHING, BUT THAT SOMETHING CAN BE OLD AGE” THE GOAL IS TO LIVE A LONG, FIRST-CLASS LIFESTYLE, FREE OF DISEASE REMEMBER

PLANT-BASED DIET NATURAL CANCER PREVENTION MEDICINES • VITAMINS • MINERALS • FIBER • PHYTOCHEMICALS (FLAVONOIDS, CAROTENOIDS, POLYPHENOLS)
PLANT-BASED DIET HOW NATURAL MEDICINES PREVENT CANCER • PREVENTS DAMAGE (ANTI-OXIDANTS) • REPAIRSDAMAGE (ENZYMES) • ELIMINATES DAMAGE (DISSOLVE IN WATER, BIND) • LIMITS GROWTH & SPREAD (BLOOD VESSELS) • STRENGTHENS IMMUNE SYSTEM
CANCER PREVENTION DIETARY GUIDELINES • AVOID HIGH-CALORIE, LOW NUTRIENT FOODS (JUNK, FAST, SODAS, CANDY) • DON’T EAT UNLESS YOU ARE HUNGRY • EAT UNTIL YOU ARE NO LONGER HUNGRY THEN QUIT • DON’T STUFF YOURSELF
