Transcript how your lifestyle can cause or prevent cancer

THE LINK BETWEEN
NUTRITION AND CANCER
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
A CANCER CELL
MOST COMMON CANCERS
IN AMERICANS

LUNG

COLON

BREAST

PROSTATE
CANCERS ASOCIATED
WITH DIET AND OVERWEIGHT



BREAST (POSTMENOPAUSAL)

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
MOST IMPORTANT WEAPON
TO PREVENT CANCER
?
LIFESTYLE
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
