Questions from the book "The China Study". I just started reading it and it's pretty straightforward but very controversial. The author advocates a vegetarian diet claiming that animal protein is the catalyst for most cancers. Obviously it's much more in depth than that, but I wanted to know if anyone with more knowledge on the subject could give me a hand?
Oxygen is a primer for cancer but you don't see me holding my breath! 1.8 million Chinese have cancer (I realize the ratio of 70/100,000 due to their large population.) and much of it varies between lifestyles.
Thanks, Clemson. I was going to e-mail you but lost track of your e-mail address.Originally Posted by Clemson
Most of the time when I hear that someone has cancer, one of the first foods they're told to avoid is red meat.
Look into Calorie Restriction and the work of Roy Walford. The most effective method of decreasing cancer and all other degenerative diseases in mammals is Calorie Restriction with Optimum Nutrition. www.walford.com
do you think that calorie restriction whit adeguate nutrition is possible to follow for an sprinter and/or a person who train hard?
Yet another knife in the FAT person brigade.
Being Fat not only causes heart stress and all sort of related illness
It now has been shown by an American mob who surveyed over 7000 reports on cancer that being FAT is the 2nd most dangerous thing you can do to yourself to give yourself cancer. The 1st being smoking and being FAT was very very closely behind.
Perhaps warning labels now need to be on big macs and cream pie's etc stating, "being fat will kill you" etc etc just like on a packet of cigarettes??
"Every Kcalorie over is a killer"
yes, but what do you think about calorie restriction diet? is possible to follow this diet when you're a sprinter (or you do any form of sport exept to run 2-3 miles every other day?)
and what do you think about the difference between being fat and eat a lot of kcal (if I do a lot of sport i burn a lot of KCAL so i eat more but i don't became fat, and to have a lot of muscle mass i need more kcal)
so i have 2 question.
1. is possible to follow CR on sprint training (1800-2200 kcal at least)
2. is dangerous o not to eat a lot of kcal but burn it whit caloric expenditure (sprint, training, have a lot of muscle f.e.)
because on pubmed i find a lot of study on the effect of calorie reduction diet, but very poor study on the kcal normal but whit high expenditure rate
Very difficult to know if it calories that count anyway as the recent findings focus on body weight. Hard training limits weight and keeps you lean- a key finding. The lowering of the exercise bar on average is PART of the equation on the cancer rise- but hardly an explanation for rises in types of cancers that were rare in the past. No link between cell phones and brain cancer?? No link between the rise in breast cancer and the use of estrogen like insecticides?? I doubt it.
sorry charlie but i don' t understand very well (damn english).
you think is difficoult to inerpretate the finding? or you think the sport can minimize the risk as the calorie restriction do? and is possible to follow CR on sprint training (no elite atletes)
