Six Good Eating Habits That Will Help Prevent Cancer

The American Institute for Cancer Research has released a 517-page report detailing the CONVENTIONAL medical view of what your main risk factors for developing cancer, and what you can do to reduce your risk.
Among their findings -- after reviewing more than 7,000 large-scale studies over the course of five years -- the Institute is now convinced that excess body weight increases your risk for the following types of cancer:
Colon
Kidney
Pancreas
Esophagus
Uterus, and breast cancer in post-menopausal women
The report also found that there are certain lifestyle changes that will reduce your risk of getting cancer:
Be as lean as possible within the normal range of body weight
Be physically active as part of everyday life
Limit consumption of "energy-dense foods," foods that are high in calories, fat and sugar. Avoid sugary drinks
Eat mostly foods of plant origin, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans
Limit intake of red meat and avoid ALL processed meat
Limit alcoholic drinks to one per day for women, two per day for men
Limit consumption of salt. Avoid moldy grains or legumes
Aim to meet nutritional needs through diet alone, without dietary supplement

Food Industry Defends Carbon Monoxide Use in Meat


Food Industry Defends Carbon Monoxide Use in Meat

U.S. lawmakers have begun to criticize the practice of adding carbon monoxide to meat in order to stabilize its color and keep it looking fresh longer.The process, they said, misleads consumers by making the products appear safer than they are, and puts people at risk of eating spoiled meat.Two of the United States’ largest meat processors, however, defended the packaging technique, maintaining that it is safe. Several food giants have said they support a warning label being added to meat that has been treated with carbon monoxide, or a label encouraging consumers to depend on the “use by” or “freeze by” date rather than the meat’s color to determine its safety.Officials at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and U.S. Agriculture Department, who said they believe the carbon monoxide practice is safe, say the issue is not a public health priority.Consumer groups, meanwhile, have petitioned the FDA to withdraw its approval of sealed packaging that uses more carbon monoxide -- 0.4 percent -- than exists in air, saying the practice makes it difficult for consumers to gauge product safety.

Toxin

A toxin is a poison. It is a substance that if taken in large doses can cause severe illness or death.
What is causing toxin to be put in our body? The answer is that we have not been educated to know what these toxins are. And secondly, these toxins are being put in virtually everything we eat without our knowledge. Now, here is the big one: The most toxic thing you can put in your body, and the number one cause of virtually all illness and disease, is prescription and non prescription drugs!

Statistics show very conclusively that the more prescription and non prescription drugs a person takes, the sicker they are. Why? Because all drugs have effects! If you are taking a drug to suppress one symptom, that drug is causing some other major problem to start developing in your body. Even if you stop taking the drug, the wheels have been set in motion, and in a few weeks or a few months-boom-you have some more symptoms caused by the first drug you took a few months ago.

Why do you get sick

1. You have too many toxins in your body.

2. You have nutritional deficiencies.

3. You are exposed and negatively affected by electromagnetic chaos.

4. You have trapped mental and emotional stress.

There are only two reasons why a person becomes ill:

1. They "catch something. This means your body picked up a "germ", generally a virus or bacteria.

2. You "develop" an illness or disease. This means there is some imbalance in the body, something is not working right, and an illness or disease develops. Common diseases in this category include heart disease, cancer, diabetes, acid reflux, arthritis, etc.

Remember you will never get sick because of a virus or bacteria. Then the question becomes, "What is causing my body to be out of balance, and what is causing my immune system to be weak?

Remember you get sick because you either "catch something" because your body is out of balance and your immune system is weak. You develop something in the body either because your body is out of balance, or a "toxin" is getting into your body and causing problem to develp.

The reasons you get sick:
1. You catch something and your body cannot fight it off, therefore you succomb to the "germs'.
2. Your body develops something in the genetically weak areas.
In both of the above cases the causes are the same.
A. Your immune system is weak.
B. Toxins are attacking your body.
