Dr Greger does an autopsy of chicken nuggets in the video below. Chicken is an item missing or almost missing from chicken nuggets! It’s mostly skeleton, skin and fat (no meat). We seem to have laws that allow names to represent an item in a misleading way. Do you really want to feed your kids skin, skeleton and fat? No wonder America’s waist line is in a constant growth!

Men with prostate cancer that recurs, have a commonality. They eat eggs and Chicken. They even believe they are eating healthy because they are eating chicken instead of beef. Dr. Greger says that these foods have Choline which increases our risks of cancer. The egg industry knows this is true but hides the data and even promotes choline as a good reason to eat eggs. We are living in very strange times when a company for profit can lie about research and cause the death of more people than a war does. Not just death but suffering for the individual and the family and friends around that person.
Harvard did this research and found men that ate less than 1 egg a day had a 2 times increase in the chance of prostate cancer than men who did not eat eggs. Eating chicken was even worse at a 4 times the risk. Do these foods give us enough pleasure to risk premature death? We are like robots when it comes to advertisements on TV. They tell us things to help sell a product and if they cause death, so be it. Be smart and think about commercials you watch on TV.
We are also sold that cancer is generic! That is total BULL! We know from this BLOG that genes that from cancer are in all of us. Those genes must get turned ON to cause cancer and Tumor fighting genes must get turned OFF! This happens via epigenetic. It is caused by the food we eat, how we think and what we believe. You can control most of the diseases that afflict Americans. Don’t give up because your mom had it or your dad.

I have spoken about Beyond Meats chicken-less chicken before. It is a fantastic product that is used to make dishes in Whole Foods Supermarkets. It is now available at Whole Foods to purchase and bring home so you can make your own dishes. This product looks and tastes like chicken. Go wild, make some great recipes and let me know what is your favorite.

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.

Chicken Salad (Photo credit: DaveOnFlickr)
I BLOGed about Beyond Meats meat-less chicken strips. They recently placed their products into a large number of Whole Food Supermarkets. Whole Foods is using this product in their prepared foods area as an alternative to meat. It is a vegan product that looks, tastes and feels like real chicken. I tried a barbecued one, chicken salad, and a spice Thai one. They were all fantastic. I bought several boxes of the product and will have some for Thanksgiving and will experiment on preparing it in popular chicken dishes. More to come on this …

Yes it does! A new company called Beyond Meat, is making a chicken substitute for vegetarians and vegans. In their tests this product fooled many meat eaters. I have not personally tried it yet because it is not sold in my area yet. Whole Foods is selling it in their California stores to start. Keep an eye out for this product.

How many times have you given in to your kids and given them fried chicken and French fries or a hamburger so you don’t have to listen to complaints? Our life is stressful enough, we don’t need to hear our kids constantly complain about what they are eating. It so ease to say “They will only eat …”. We are parents and therefore our kids teachers. We should be teaching them what they should be eating to remain healthy. If we give in to their desires, we could be making them unhealthy and sickly. Be a parent and teach! It may not be the easiest road but it’s the right one!
