1) ) Dr Greger says Studies have shown women eating more broiled, grilled, fried, barbecued, and smoked meats have up to 5x the risk of developing breast cancer. Some studies say we can detoxify the toxins in meat by 99% but recent detailed studies show it is more like 50%. So are you willing to roll a 50/50 dice on cancer? What you eat is important. Beware of what you put in your mouth or on your skin.

I found out from a dear friend that whom fought breast cancer. The first doctor and hospital had her go through chemo for months. Later she switched doctors and found out she should never have had the chemo. It was totally ineffective on her type of cancer. When she questioned the original doctor, he said “That’s water under the dam. Everyone gets the same treatment”. Our hospitals are more interested in the money your treatment can generate than your feelings and health. Research research research! You have to take care of your own health and treatments. You are the only one looking out for your well-being. Question everything, get second and third opinions, research treatments and doctors.

Dr Greger says a new study finds all alcohol intake is carcinogenic. It seems something in our saliva turns alcohol into a carcinogenic. Less than a drink a day can increase the risk of breast cancer. One study finds a sip held in the mouth and spit out increases the risk. Watch products you use that have alcohol in them. Alcohol, in small quantities does lower the risk of heart disease. So do we take some and reap the benefits to our heart or the risks to breasts? A healthy plant-based diet almost eliminates the risks and greatly improves the benefits. Watch what you eat.

Flax (Photo credit: bdearth)

Dr. Greger says eating a teaspoon of flax-seed a day can lower breast cancer risks. Antibiotics will lower your body’s ability to use the plant based fiber. So if you are eating correctly but are on a lot of antibiotics, you may not be getting the full benefits! sesame seeds may work as well as the flaxseed. I wouldn’t try to eat this way as a formula for each disease known. Rather eat a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

Dr. Greger’s new video talks about the relationship between breast cancer and dietary fiber intake. This may be why vegans have a much less chance of breast cancer. It may not be the fiber directly but what else is in plant-based foods like vitamins and antioxidants. If you are worried about breast cancer or your daughter’s chance of getting it, watch this video and change your life-style. Vegans have much less chance almost none and vegetarians more but much less chance than meat eater.

Meat (Photo credit: Divine Harvester)

Dr Greger says smoked meats, cooked meats, cigarettes all have mutated genes that are carcinogenic. These mutations can not only cause cancer but can cause it to grow faster! A new study shows this is actually happening in the breasts of meat-eating women. One women in study was vegetarian and none were detected in her.
