    Studies at Tufts University suggest that folic acidone of the B vitaminsmayplay a key role in a colon cancer prevention diet.  
    http://web.mit.edu/medical/hm62/hm62diet.htm
    
    Extractions: For years most experts agreed that the dietary factor most closely linked to colon cancer was a low-fiber diet. Although one recent major study suggested that a low-fiber diet is not associated with colon cancer, no one has dared to conclude that we should forget about increasing dietary fiber consumption. Even though the relationship between fiber and colon cancer isn't settled, it's clear that high-fiber foods come packed with other beneficial nutrients. Two of the primary sources of fiber are fruits and vegetables, which contain many other compounds, such as natural phytochemicals and antioxidants. A diet high in fruits and vegetables may prevent colon cancer because of the antioxidants, the phytochemicals, or some other, still unidentified factor in fruits and vegetables. We do know that taking antioxidant supplements isn't enoughperhaps because you aren't getting all the other compounds that are found in food. Studies at Tufts University suggest that folic acidone of the B vitaminsmay play a key role in a colon cancer prevention diet. And where might the best sources of folic acid be? You've got it: those high-fiber foods like fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Although not present in large amounts in most fibrous foods, adequate calcium (such as four 8 oz. glasses of milk or equivalent per day) is also thought to be associated with lower rates of colon cancer.

43. Food For Thought : Curbing Cancer? Low-Fat Diet During Adolescence Cuts Hormones
    Curbing cancer? LowFat diet During Adolescence Cuts Hormones, Possibly Breastcancer Risk. A low-fat diet early might spell less breast cancer later.  
    http://www.sciencenews.org/20030125/food.asp
    
    Extractions: Week of Jan. 25, 2003; Vol. 163, No. 4 Kendall Morgan Cutting back on cheeseburgers and French fries could spare girls more than extra pounds. A low-fat diet also reduces young girls' sex hormone concentrations, a new study finds. What's more, researchers say, the adolescent drop in hormones that are known to spur breast cancer in adults might stave off the disease later in life. More work is required to confirm the connection, however. CUT THE FAT. A low-fat diet early might spell less breast cancer later. Scientists have suspected that fatty foods might spur breast cancer, but the evidence remains inconclusive. In countries where people traditionally eat less fat, breast cancer rates are lower than in countries with higher-fat diets, says epidemiologist Joanne F. Dorgan at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia. Furthermore, when Asian people immigrate to the United States and begin eating fattier foods, their odds of getting breast cancer skyrocket. However, some studies of women in the United States have failed to link dietary habits to breast cancer. Dorgan thought that low-fat eating might have its greatest impact on breast cancer risk during adolescence because that's when breast tissue forms. To uncover diet's role in girls' pubescent hormone levels, Dorgan and her colleagues took advantage of the Dietary Intervention Study in Children—a clinical trial sponsored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute that's testing the safety and effectiveness of a low-fat diet for lowering blood cholesterol in children with high concentrations. In 1990, the team initiated an ancillary study of the children's sex hormones.

    Extractions: A vegetarian diet has been advocated by everyone from philosophers such as Plato and Nietzsche, to political leaders such as Benjamin Franklin and Gandhi, to modern pop icons such as Paul McCartney and Bob Marley. Science is also on the side of vegetarianism. A multitude of studies have proven the health benefits of a vegetarian diet to be remarkable. Preventing Cancer A vegetarian diet helps to prevent cancer. Numerous epidemiological and clinical studies have shown that vegetarians are nearly 50 percent less likely to die from cancer than non-vegetarians. Similarly, breast cancer rates are dramatically lower in nations, such as China, that follow plant-based diets. Interestingly, Japanese women who follow Western-style, meat-based diets are eight times more likely to develop breast cancer than women who follow a more traditional plant-based diet. Vegetarians also have lower rates of colon cancer than meat-eaters. Vegetarians avoid the animal fat linked to cancer and get abundant fiber and vitamins that help to prevent cancer. In addition, blood analysis of vegetarians reveals a higher level of Natural Killer Cells, specialized white blood cells that attack cancer cells. Beating Heart Disease Vegetarian diets also help prevent heart disease. Animal products are the main source of saturated fat and the only source of cholesterol in the diet. Vegetarians avoid these risky products. Additionally, fiber helps reduce cholesterol levels

    Extractions: Diet and the Cancer Patient From the CancerBACUP booklet series Booklet revised: November 2002 Introduction Food contributes much to the quality of our lives and is more than just a physical need. Mealtimes are an important and enjoyable part of family and social life. Many people with cancer experience eating problems. This booklet is divided into four parts and is intended to help you overcome these difficulties. Part One The building-up diet is a diet high in energy and protein and has been designed specifically for people with cancer who have lost, or are losing, weight or can only manage to eat a little. This diet is not recommended for people with cancer who are eating well and have not lost weight. Part Two Eating problems has helpful hints for people with cancer who have eating problems caused by their disease or treatment. For example, you may be feeling sick, have mouth ulcers or be too tired to cook a meal.

    http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/0613.html
    
    Extractions: Are there any health hazards associated with Chinese food? Of course a lot of Chinese foods are high in fat and cholesterol, but what I am worried about is the cooking methods. Generally, they heat the oil to a very high temperature and then throw in the meat or vegetable and make a big sound, sometimes the food even catches fire. As far as I know, I think oil heated to a high temperature, to the point where it begins to emit smoke, may contain cancer-causing substances. Is that true? I guess I am kind of obsessed about cancer because my grandfather died of stomach cancer two years ago and I was with him for several months before he died. What are the major causes of cancer? How can we avoid them? If we eat some cancer-causing substance, are we more likely to get stomach or intestinal cancer because that's where the food passes through, or are we equally likely to get other cancers? I mean, do a person's digestive organs have a particularly high susceptibility to cancer compared to other parts of the body because they are exposed to the food, which is where almost all the carcinogens come from? Worries about cancer and diet

    Ask the Doctor. Q Bowel cancer and diet. I am worried about bowelcancer because my grandfather has just been diagnosed with it.  
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/ask_doctor/bowel_cancer.shtml
    
    Extractions: Evidence has been growing in recent years about links between various things in our diet and bowel cancer (more formally, colorectal cancer). No food alone is a cause of bowel cancer, but making healthy changes to your diet can reduce your risk and may also protect you from other diseases too. Research has focussed on the following foods: Fibre: recent studies have questioned some of the older evidence that a high fibre diet can help prevent cancer. Fibre from fruit and veg, brown bread, bran, oats and other sources helps to speed up the passage of cancer-causing substances through the bowel. Fibre may also produce protective chemicals when fermented in the gut - increasing the amount of natural fibre in your diet seems to be key here because fibre supplements such as ispaghula don't have the same effect, probably because they don't produce the same chemicals on fermentation. But the jury is still out on the exact benefits of fibre. The Mediterranean diet: It has been estimated that about 1 in 4 bowel cancers could be prevented if developed Western countries switched to the Mediterranean diet. Some claim this is because of low levels of red meat and fat in this diet while others claim the benefits are linked to large amounts of fruit, vegetables and olive oil.

    Extractions: Click here for nutrition table for 7,248 foods. The news about cancer gets better all the time. This pamphlet is about the best news: that you can take steps to help protect yourself and your family from cancer. Many studies of the habits of people all over the world suggest that you may reduce your risk of getting cancer by making healthy choices about the foods you eat, the beverages you drink, and whatever you smoke. About one-third of all cancer deaths may be related to what we eat. Making positive choices in your diet every day promotes good nutrition and good health and may reduce your risk of some types of cancer. This pamphlet can help you make these choices. (These choices are for healthy people. If you require a special diet, consult a physician or registered dietitian before beginning any modified diet plan. Remember good nutrition alone cannot protect against all diseases or injuries. Be wary of fad diets and supplements that are promoted to prevent or cure cancer). Its recommendations are consistent with seven simple guidelines that have been developed to help people eat a healthy diet: Nutrition and Your Health: Dietary Guidelines for Americans, U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Home and Garden Bulletin No. 232. Second edition, 1985. The explanatory text following each of the guideline statements has been written by NCI.

    Extractions: Diet, Exercise Slow Prostate Cancer As Much As 30% A low-fat, high-fiber diet and regular exercise can slow prostate cancer cell growth by up to 30 percent, according to a new study by researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center and UCLA's Department of Physiological Science. "This is the first study to directly measure the effects of diet and exercise on inhibiting prostate cancer cell growth," said Dr. William Aronson, a researcher at UCLA's Jonsson Cancer Center and senior author of the study. "We used a new method, developed by our research team, to evaluate how effectively these lifestyle changes might help slow the growth of prostate cancer cells, and we are extremely encouraged by the results." The research is published in this month's issue of the peer-reviewed Journal of Urology "It's too early to say that diet and exercise can prevent prostate cancer from developing or progressing, but our study strongly suggests that a low-fat diet and exercise regimen appears to favorably affect the levels of hormones or growth factors that influence prostate cancer growth," said Aronson, who also is an associate clinical professor in the Department of Urology at the UCLA School of Medicine. "Based on the results of our study, we have begun a new clinical trial at UCLA to evaluate new nutritional programs that men with prostate cancer may hopefully use in the future to prevent the progression of their disease." The new research method developed by the UCLA research team involved evaluating serum obtained from study volunteers who adhered to a low-fat, high-fiber diet and exercise regimen. The serum blood from which red blood cells and clotting factors have been extracted, leaving behind hormones and growth factors was combined with prostate cancer cells in test tubes and evaluated to see how it affected the cells' growth.

55. The Breast Cancer Prevention Diet
    The Breast cancer Prevention diet. by Dr Bob Arnot. Reviewed by StephenTerrass MRNT. Buy it Online. I really wanted to like this book.  
    http://www.positivehealth.com/Reviews/books/terass44.htm
    
    Extractions: It would seem that The Breast Cancer Prevention Diet is well-meaning and truly committed to the agenda of helping women make an informed choice. The book contains information that could well save many lives. Dr Arnot draws conclusions from numerous research studies, and comes up with a diet and lifestyle plan that heavily promotes the use of soy foods, flaxseed, olive oil, fish oils and lots and lots of vegetables and fruit. At the same time it warns the reader of high-risk foods (e.g. hydrogenated fats, fatty red meat, etc.) and high-risk lifestyle factors (e.g. being over or underweight). The book also tries to explain breast cancer mechanisms and discusses the main drugs being used in treatment and prevention. Another glaring weakness in content is the lack of discussion about HRT. Although it is mentioned on occasion, the space allotted to it seems unjustifiably small and incomplete. This is not due to the fact that the book is totally dedicated to nutrition, as he frequently discusses other types of drugs, and in far more depth.

    Extractions: and the Reduction of Cancer Risk - An Overview A staggering 10.3 million new cancer cases are diagnosed each year worldwide, making cancer prevention a top public health priority. Fortunately, the right diet can be a powerful weapon against development of this devastating disease. According to a recent international expert report changes in diet may prevent 30 to 40 percent of cancer cases, or three to four million cases annually. Cancer can be controlled through two complementary routes: Health experts agree there is compelling scientific evidence that consumption of vegetables and fruits helps to reduce the risk of some cancers.

    http://www.thomasjmoore.com/pages/ephedra.shtml
    
    Extractions: But the Bush administration's recent plan to table a citizens' group's petition to ban ephedra - allowing the product to remain on the market during still another safety review - provides a frightening case study in what happens when a system breakdown occurs in a country that normally provides a reasonable umbrella of consumer protection. By an act of a Congress then bent on deregulation, dietary supplements are exempt from the safety testing required for over-the-counter drugs. The power Congress left to the FDA was the ability to seek withdrawal if it could prove a product was dangerous. Let us see how that limited power fared under both Democratic and Republican administrations. The FDA issued a medical bulletin warning about ephedra in 1994, the same year that Congress exempted all supplements. In 1996, the ephedra safety issue was a front burner issue for FDA Commissioner David Kessler. After two young people in their 20s - who had consumed ephedra - died suddenly, he convened a special advisory panel declaring that "inaction is unacceptable." By 1997, Kessler was gone, but the FDA proposed to limit ephedra products to a low dose and only short-term use. More than 800 adverse event reports were on file at the agency about ephedra products.

    Extractions: Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. In fact, one in every four deaths in the USA is from cancer. How can you reduce your risk of developing cancer? Good nutrition is an important way to help lower your cancer risk. A healthy diet that is low in fat, high in fiber, with lots of fruits and vegetables, has been shown to help reduce the probability of developing cancer. The National Cancer Institute's Web page on Highlights of the National Cancer Institute's Prevention and Control Programs discusses the roles that diet and nutrition play in preventing the development and spread of cancer. To reduce cancer risk, start by trying to lower your fat intake to 30 percent or less of total daily calories. First find out how much fat is in the food that you are eating. Then, find reliable resources, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) booklets "Eating for a Healthy Heart" or "A Consumer's Guide to Fats" that can show you how to decrease the amount of fat in your diet. Finally, remember to read food labels. Laboratory research has shown that certain compounds, such as fiber, in fruits, vegetables and cereal grains actually interfere with the process of cancer development. The National Cancer Institute recommends increasing your daily fiber to 20-30 grams with an upper limit of 35 grams. Whole grains are a great way to increase your fiber intake. Whole grains are also low in fat and good sources of vitamins and minerals and protein. To learn more about how to increase your fiber intake, take a look at "Bulking Up: Fiber's Healthful Reputation."

    http://www.uicc.org/nutrition/nutristate.shtml
    
    Extractions: Useful References Introduction Background Because of the number of types of cancer potentially related to diet and nutrition and the fact that everyone is exposed to food, the aggregate impact of diet has been estimated to be as great as that of tobacco use. Estimates are that perhaps as much as 30% of all cancer deaths could be avoided by modifications in life-long dietary patterns. International variations in cancer risk particularly suggest the importance of diet as a factor in cancer cause and prevention. For example, contrasts in cancer risk between Asian and North American populations generally support the notion that a lower fat diet is related to the risk of breast, prostate and colorectal cancer. Studies of populations as they migrate from regions of one dietary culture to areas having different dietary customs similarly show that risk is affected.
