MEAT AND DAIRY CAUSE CANCER - Dr T. Colin Campbell's "The China Study" | LIVEKINDLY

the vast majority of the people the public have really quite confused about this topic of Patricia which is pretty sad because now we know that nutrition ought to be the premier biomedical science of the future America is suffering from diet related illnesses according to the American Cancer Society men have a 47 percent risk of developing cancer in their lifetime for women it's a thirty eight percent lifetime risk colorectal prostate and breast cancer are among the most common dr. T Colin Campbell a nutritional biochemist who conducted groundbreaking research in the 1980s may have the secret to preventing and even reversing some of these major health threats I had certain ideas that everyone else had that's a good old American diets as good as it gets oh we got into science I started doing things fantastic thanks very exciting opportunities over the years I learned that what I thought was true in the beginning was not true focusing on plant-based diets he documented his research in the best-selling 2005 book the China Study co-written with his son and medical doctor Thomas M Campbell the China Study reveals the dangers of consuming animal products and the benefits of plant-based nutrition dr. Campbell's team conducted lab research that connected nutrition to cancer their findings led them to the China Study a study that spanned ten years in rural China most of our nutrition information incidentally in textbooks and so forth it's based on using Western subjects like Western investigators we haven't taken really into consideration other societies where there are data preciouses are rather different of course they get different diseases so China was a perfect place to look at this in a sense look at this contrast dr. Campbell reported that when we were done we had more than 8,000 statistically significant associations between lifestyle diet and d'they variables disease rates among Chinese counties are substantially different and this suggests that dietary and environment is likely to be more important than genetic risk researchers had to look at what each County's population was consuming to discover why certain Chinese populations had lower disease risk than others and every disease that was common in one place was rare somewhere else you could find one County where more than 10% of the men would die from liver cancer then you could go a few hundred miles away and you'd find that less than 1% of the men would die from liver cancer you could do the same accounts of the throat you could do the same with strokes death from stroke every disease that is common in one place is rare somewhere else and that means that all of the diseases that are common in China at least the diseases of middle-age that are common in China are largely avoidable by some humanly practicable way of living wise cancer lower in China than the US it's largely due to the prevalence of plant-based foods and Chinese diets dr. Campbell concluded in America protein makes up about 15% of diets with 80% coming from animal sources Chinese statistics showed that only 10% of total calories came from protein and only 10% of that protein was animal-based the study revealed a strong connection between diets high and animal protein and cancer low protein diets below 5% decrease enzyme activity and prevent dangerous carcinogens from binding to DNA even when that number is increased to 20% protein the dangers of developing cancer only increased when animal protein was consumed over plant protein Campbell writes a pattern was beginning to emerge nutrients from animal-based foods increased tumor development while nutrients from plant-based foods decreased tumor development the researchers also looked at casein a protein that makes up 87% of cow milk protein it was found that high doses of casein could turn on cancer genes but low or no levels turn them off cow's milk protein casein is a chemical carcinogen that has more relevant than other carcinogens identified so far according to Campbell dairy has consistently shown an increase in prostate cancer probability saying that those who consume the most dairy have up to double or quadruple the risk alone these individual observations are there's a whole series of them that we've now considered and that is to say that the higher the fat intake the higher the breast cancer risk the lower the fiber intake the higher the the cancer ritual colon cancer and rectal cancer nutrient quality is also observed in the China study discussing cattle rearing practices Campbell notes that America's increased disease rates preceded widespread hormone and antibiotic use organic beef in his opinion has a same overall nutrient profile as regular beef the same molecular structure that makes it detrimental to our health that's the story that's been ignored for more than 100 years what are you back when when they were first studying the question concerning doctors a diet that caused atherosclerosis for example they were at that time discussing was it the fatty or lipid part of the diet or maybe wasn't protein they made a conclusion in 1920 serious researchers did it was more about animal protein that it was about cholesterol fat but it isn't just about what animal foods contain it's also about what they lack plant foods are rich in vitamins minerals antioxidants fiber and protein plant-based foods ward off more than cancer - they can prevent heart disease autoimmune conditions diabetes bone degeneration and brain disease since plants are rich in antioxidants these nutrients bind to free radicals that cause diseases like cancer and eliminate them from the body fiber is another important cornerstone to the benefits of plant foods dietary fiber is exclusively found in plants and critical for proper digestion increased fiber intake improves digestive health and may decrease the risk of developing colorectal cancer fiber is sometimes demonized for making essential new tree escape the body too quickly however this proved false in the China study iron a mineral that is often assumed to be lower in high fiber diets was almost doubled in Chinese populations eating a plant-based diet they consumed 34 milligrams of iron per day from plant-based foods whereas American intake was 18 milligrams per day on an animal-based diet now we have information that is really fantastic for the public to know and they're not really getting good opportunity to know that and I'm talking about the whole food plant-based diet what can the China study teach us Western cultures may have advanced medicine but we have extremely high rates of disease - the China study reveals lower cases of disease when following a plant-based diet and that proper nutrition not genetics is the foundation to good health plants have a dense nutrient profile and as dr. Campbell puts it there are virtually no nutrients in animal-based foods that are not better provided by plants dr. Campbell continues to share evidence-based information on plant-based nutrition with millions around the world that's it for today remember to subscribe and hit the red bell new videos every Tuesday and Friday
