A causal relationship between red meat consumption and cancer is

supported by several large studies conducted in the U.S. Specifically,

women with the highest level of meat consumption had double the rate of breast cancer compared to

those who consumed a small amount of meat.

Vegans tend to have low serum lipids, lean physiques, later puberty, and decreased

risk for certain prominent ‘Western’ cancers; a vegan

diet has documented clinical efficacy in rheumatoid

arthritis. Medical Hypotheses, 1999 Dec; 53(6):459-85

This diet has a comprehensive ability to control the expression of the genes that predispose to many diseases such as heart

disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, childhood allergies,

osteoporosis.

The matched subjects who ate meat (including poultry and fish) were more than twice as likely to

become demented as their vegetarian counterparts.

Evidence suggests that most of the chronic degenerative diseases can be reversed or

at least suspended from further development, by

consuming a plant-based diet.

Pancreatic cancer occurs much more frequently in countries

where fat consumption and/or animal product consumption is

high.American Journal of

Prostate cancer patients consume a diet higher in fat, meat, & dairy products than

those who do not have prostate cancer. And, the

higher the consumption, the higher the death rate. Cancer, 1989; 64:598-604

Cancer odds ratios for the highest percentiles of red meat intake (7 or

more times per week) compared with the lowest (3 or fewer times per

week) were 1.6 for stomach, 1.9 for colon, 1.7 for rectal, 1.6 for

pancreatic, 1.6 for bladder, 1.2 for breast, 1.5 for endometrial and 1.3

for ovarian cancer.

Nine studies of childhood brain tumors and maternal diet during

pregnancy have focused on foods. An association between frequent consumption of cured

meat (hot dogs, baloney) by pregnant women and increased

risk is a consistent finding in most of the studies.

Intake of legumes lowers the risks of colon cancer and pancreatic cancer.

Higher consumption of all fruit or dried fruit was associated with lower risks of lung, prostate, and pancreatic cancers.

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1999 Sep; 70 (3 Suppl):532S-538S

Researchers followed 384 men with prostate cancer over a five-year

period…those who consumed the most saturated fat - the kind

particularly prevalent in meats and dairy products-had three times the

risk of dying from the disease, compared to those with the lowest

saturated fat intake.European Journal of Urology, 1999; 388:91

Evidence strongly suggests that a high intake of plant-based foods, and a low intake of animal products contribute to the excellent health of Mediterranean

populations. The high consumption of red meat in Western diets is associated

with calcium losses likely to contribute to osteoporosis.

84 prostate cancer men who were able to defer treatment because of a careful

watch on their prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Half the men were assigned to

usual care (control group) and the remaining half to a low-fat, vegan diet, along with regular exercise and stress

management.

Urology, 2001; 57(4 Suppl 1):200-1

In the control group, the PSA levels rose over the three-month study period, and 7 required additional treatment. But in the 42 men assigned to the vegan diet and lifestyle intervention, the average PSA level dropped from 6.3 to 5.8, and none

required further treatment.

Urology, 2001; 57(4 Suppl 1):200-1

The beneficial effects of consuming a plant-based diet

can only be fully appreciated and demonstrated when it is

understood that nutrients work in concert.

Every 12 minutes someone dies from breast cancer. Yet women who eat as few as two

servings of vegetables per day reduce their breast

cancer risk by 30%.

Eating a diet rich in plant foods, remains the best

option for reducing the risk of colon cancer; and general

health protection.

One study tested mostly raw vegan diet in 30 patients with fibromyalgia, syndrome of chronic fatigue, pain,

poor sleep, depression, and anxiety. After several months on the diet, 19
