The Diet / Cancer Link By Simon Mitchell

| Wednesday, January 21, 2009 |
Attitude towards the relationship between diet and cancer that quickly changed. World Cancer Research Fund was established specifically to fund and sponsor education and research into the diet-cancer link. There is mounting evidence that the Feed fat foods typically high in the West, along with low Feed nutritious foods such as vegetables, fruits and wholegrains, is responsible for up to 35% in May from cancer.
World Cancer Research Fund are only one major national charity concerned with the relationship between cancer and food, nutrition and lifestyle factors. They report 'Food, Nutrition and the Prevention of Cancer: a global perspective' consistent with the guidelines issued by the World Health Organization, the EU 'Europe against Cancer' initiative and other authoritative organizations. The idea of 'anti-cancer diet' promotes prevention by strengthening the immune system directly and has caused some of the campaign from the 'five-day' campaign for fresh fruit and vegetables.
Intensification of agricultural practices that have caused a decrease of 25% to 75% in the level of mineral nutrients that are important in farmed vegetables for 60 years. There have also been increasing the level of sugar farmed fruit, so much so that some 'natural' fruit juices now contain as much sugar as a fizzy drink.
If we can source quality food, our cooking methods often damage the nutritional content. Studies show that fresh, uncooked vegetables strengthen the immune system and increase resistance to various diseases. Cabbage is placed in cold water and boiled to lose about 75% of the vitamin C content. Similarly fresh peas cooked for only five minutes to lose 20-40% of their Thiamine content and 30-40% of their vitamin C. Around 50% of vitamin E were destroyed or roast fried food.
The test in Spain recently measured levels of flavonoids (a kind of Antioxidant) left in fresh broccoli after it was cooked. The results show large differences in flavonoid content according to how the broccoli was prepared. Cooking with the method is:
boiling - 66% loss
pressure-cooking - 53% loss of Antioxidant
steaming - minimal loss of antioxidants
microwaving - 97% loss of flavonoids
Scientists in Finland found that blanching and deep-frozen vegetables destroyed beneficial compounds. Blanching before freezing destroyed up to one third of the vitamin C content of vegetables and the other was lost in storage. With the healing properties of raw food that is recognized in the natural Therapies cancer.
The more we let the food industry to make what we eat the more likely we will face the risk of problems related to diet. Apply to the commercial interests of food producers who systematically robbing unwary buyer of health, and eventually life. The more control and the information we have in the pure food source, we are less at risk of dis-ease for nutritional reasons. One of the first step in the search for food that is healthy and how to change the store in which we and the food source that we can trust. Supermarket to give us that option, but thousands of different options. Try to find, for example, one of the many types of biscuits available that do not contain 'hydrogenated vegetable oil'.
Too much protein in the diet is also harmful to health and can increase cancer. Meat and sugar-rich diet that is common in the West. This is too often or more processed. When cooked or processed food that we eat the white blood cells (leukocytes) rush to the intestine to help digestion. As a result, other parts of the body may be left undefended from attack by germs and viruses after a heavy meal synthetic.
Increase in plant biology, growth hormones in meat and milk, mercury in the mouth, colorants and carcinogens in the food of the day. Foot and mouth epidemic, B.S.E. in sheep and cattle, radiation and nuclear de-naturalisation our food is an example of how common sense is to benefit themselves. The 'precautionary principle' that is too often more in the development of science hurry.
Genetic modification of food for example is still largely untested and many of the results is open to interpretation. Knowledge about the actual process involved in the initial stage. Little is known about the side effects, how gene function is controlled, gene transfer to other organisms such as bacteria in the human intestine. British Medical Association (BMA) has said that the potential Adverse effects have not been enough investigation and strongly recommend caution. United Nations safety body, the Food and Agriculture Organization has warned that failure to make a full medical examination on GM food can cause toxic reactions, allergic and increase resistance to antibiotics.
Experience shows that genetically modified food and organic can be together because there are no genetically modified crops will cross-pollinate with other people. Contamination of the whole food chain has occurred in recent years. Biotechnology companies face opposition in Europe are targeting less well resource countries such as India in the hope that genetically modified organisms will spread irreversibly before public opinion has time to intervene.
In addition to the carcinogens that are increasing everywhere in our culture, we need not a complex mixture of minerals and balanced nutrition to maintain a special self in a healthy way. Government policy recently recommended we should eat at least five or six types of fruit and vegetables every day. British Association of dietary surveys show that the typical English food covers only 3.3 part of the fruit and vegetables a day. Scots who consume 2.7 portions a day, while Ireland only get a little 2.3. Spain's new research shows that the quality of food and method of preparation as important as the quantity, as many of the nutrients that were destroyed during food preparation industry in the country and even in the process of cooking. In order to get a variety of minerals we need to maintain the specific health with food, we need fresh, quality food types, cooked properly, or at least someone to sell us the right supplements!
Quick fix mentality that Western culture has grown so used to supplement pill-comment that the market has responded to this. American public to use to increase the amount of vitamin and mineral supplements. A survey conducted by the Federal Drugs Authority (FDA) in the United States says that more than 60 million Americans believe that vitamin supplements are important for good health. This report also shows that about 20 million Americans believe that mineral deficiency is the main cause of the disease, including cancer, which showed what a good job of marketing the supplement industry has done. Drug companies are moving quickly into the supplements industry following market forces. Legislation in Europe is posed to ban many supplements (such as plants) that have natural resources, in preference to an alternative pharmacy. Although the appropriate dietary supplements to be recognized as a useful tool in protecting the health, the law is fast catching up to manage this field, which clearly indicates a preference to synthetic chemicals.
In 1980 the National Academy of Sciences Committee dietary allowance (RDA or established Recommended Daily Allowances) are not found scientific evidence for nutritional benefits of vitamins, minerals or trace elements in a larger dose than that given by a balanced diet. Supplement industry with cheap advertising to persuade people who better to have 'expensive urine' than be at risk for the disease through the right vitamins or minerals or less in the diet.
