China Study: Summary 9.9.21

* A free society cannot exist without a venue and an environment for honest research and discourse.

* Academia has the power to modify science to its liking and discredit scientific information not to their liking.

* Truth is a stubborn thing. It just won’t go away. Tom Riner.

* George Macilwain: grease, fat, and alcohol are the chief causes of cancer.

* Animal protein, even more than saturated fat and dietary cholesterol, raises blood cholesterol levels.

* Published data show that animal protein promotes the growth of tumors.

* Data show that a diet based on animal-based foods increases a woman’s production of reproductive hormones over her lifetime, which may lead to breast cancer.

* Whole-food-plant-based diet is best for preventing, and possibly treating cancer.

* It is now commonly accepted that what you eat can determine your risk of multiple cancers.

* Nutrition is the biological expression of food that promotes health. Malnutrition is its opposite.

* As taxpayers, we pay for subsidies to produce the food that is killing us, then we pay for expensive pills and procedures when we get sick.

* Low-protein diet enhance the burning off of calories, thus leaving fewer calories for body weight gain and perhaps also fewer for tumor growth as well.

China Study: Summary 2.9

* Our chronic diseases are largely the result of infinitely complex assaults in our body resulting from eating bad food.

* No single chemical intervention will ever equal the power of consuming the healthiest food.

* The National Cancer Institute: what is clear is that most of our current treatments will produce some measure of adversity.

*  the author’s conclusion: When it comes to health, government is not for the people; it is for the food industry and the pharmaceutical industry at the expense of Tue people.

* Why doesn’t the the medical system take nutrition seriously? Four words: money, ego, power, control.

* The health damage that results from doctors’ ignorance of nutrition is astounding.

* Whole-food-plant-based diet has the potential not only to prevent diseases that are plaguing patients, but also the potential to treat them.

*Medical education and drug companies are in bed together, and have been for quite some time. The whole system is paid for by the drug industry, from education to research.

* A scientist speaking out about the possible side effects of antidepressant lost a job opportunity at the University of Toronto.

* Journal of American Medical Association study: one in five new drugs will either get a black box warning, indicating a previously unknown serious adverse reaction that may result in death or serious injury or will be withdrawn from the market within 25 years. 20 percent of all new drugs have serious unknown side effects. More than 100,000 Americans die every year from correctly taking their properly prescribed medication. This is one of the leading cause of death in America.

* Food business interests need to claim that their product is good for you, or, at least that it’s not bad for you. In this process, the science of nutrition becomes the business of marketing.

* The dairy industry’s goals: 1. Market to young children and their mothers; 2. Use schools as a channel to young customers; 3. Conduct and publicize research favorable to the industry.

* Casein, the main protein in dairy foods, has been shown to promote cancer and increase blood cholesterol and atherosclerosis plaque.

* Some industries use science to increase demand for its product to make more money.

* Industry loves to tinker. Securing patents based on details lead to marketing claims and, ultimately, to greater revenues.

* We all have heard of oranges as sources of vitamin C. One cup of peppers, strawberries, broccoli, or peas all have more. One papaya has as much as four times more vitamin C than one orange.

* The healthiest section of any store is the place where they sell while fruits and vegetables-the produce section, not the section with supplements and special preparations of seemingly magic ingredients.

* More people die because of the way they eat thAn from tobacco use, accidents, or any other lifestyle or environmental factors.

* Diets high in animal-based protein will create higher blood cholesterol levels and higher risk of atherosclerosis, cancer, osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and kidney stones to name a few chronic diseases.

* Cancer incites a far greater fear than heart disease.

* Prevention of cancer with low-cost, low-frofit plant foods is not welcomed by the food and pharmaco-medical industries.

* In the world of nutrition and health scientists are not free to pursue their research wherever it leads.

* Women who tinker with fat, while maintaining a near-carnivorous diet, do not have a lower breast cancer risk.

* Risk of breast cancer increases when a woman has: early age of menarche; late age of menopause; high levels of female hormone; high blood cholesterol.

*Instead of suggesting dietary change as a solution, we spend hundreds of millions of dollars developing and publicising a drug that may or may not work and almost certainly will have unintended side effects.

* When a very potent carcinogen is put into the body, the rate at which it causes problems is mostly controlled by nutrition.
