I truly enjoyed watching this video. Historically, I had no idea my Family was so untrained in understanding the fundamental building blocks of proper diet, lifestyle choices, and how to maintain one's health; especially with the passage of time. As time passes, I have to thank UA-cam for bringing the power of millions of minds together, allowing society to make substantial strides, which with the press of the Enter Key, allow one to have the best opportunities to live a healthy, prosperous, and happy life. Thank you, Dr. Abrams, M.D. - MDM, JD Candidate.
I must question why when in the hospital due to a cancer (3rd time over 26 years and this one result of radiation that was necessary) the food on the tray was ensure products that list corn fructose as the first ingredient. I couldn't make myself take it in bc I felt I was defeating all that my surgeon and nurses had done. Not to mention all the pain I went through. Who is making the decision at the hospital kitchen--there are other options--but ensure must be making it worth it to the hospital entities? Kickbacks perhaps.
@@GiveThanksAndPraise I so agree. I cannot even force myself to donate it to somewhere because I feel if I won't consume it then why would it be okay for somebody else. There are so many other healthy options. And while I understand that people might not be eating well that still doesn't overcome that this stuff is not what I would consider nutrition. I think I will just tell folks I am allergic to it or something. Glad I am not alone in thinking these ingredients aren't good for consumption!!
If you can get a loved one to bring you more nutritional food while in the hospital and the doctor approves it. Do it. You have control over what you consume. There are times when it is not wise to eat certain things. For ex, orange juice/grapefruit juice interferes with some oral medications etc. it is ultimately your choice consume something other than the dairy, sweet tea and white bread on that tray as long as it doesn’t exacerbated your issue and doc says it’s ok. The food that is given is “safe” which is understandable but I wish they would hire someone to really take each individual patient’s nutritional needs.
That’s so true, also for Germany. The diet in hospitals is outrageous unhealthy, white bread, jam, butter, fatty sausage cold cuts, starchy sauces and noodles, Joghurts with loads of sugar. Just to match a mass-taste, made from canteen convenience products. No fresh salads and nuts. Money makes the decisions for Hospital diet. As cheap as possible.
@@happycook6737 What about olive oil? Good to add excercise to that calori reduction as it helps keep the metabolism from downgrading (less risk of the weight coming back). It doesn't need to even be something like running, I lost about 10kg last year in a few months just by doing long walks and limiting total calories to 1700 per day (target that I did not always achieve though).
@@pearlygrace7607 if you’re looking for motivation to change your eating habits, stop talking to doctors. Find a functional nutritionist or holistic health coach.
Thank you! I am a Cancer patient "in recovery" and I appreciate this video. : ) I am now a vegetarian and have never felt better! cut out the use of sugar/sugar foods & sodas. Best choice I have ever made for myself and animals.
@@shellyclayton202 it's funny and scary that you think it's any different, you might know it's natural but your body doesn't. All you are doing is justifying your sugar addiction by saying it's natural.
Exactly! As cancer showed up in my family I had been growing a lot of veggies with and ecologic (organic non certified) approach (permaculture style) and it is very easy. Just a few seeds, small packages, and let some plants blooms, flower, and get tons of seeds for your own next crops and even enough for microgreens and sprouts. It is not too hard... Start with easy crops such as radishes, rocket, lettuce, aromatic herbs...
Wow. “Thank you, Dr Donald” for your precious time & knowledge to inform us this positive information. F. T. Listener great lecture. I will start a healthier & better eating habit. T. Y. & Much blessings to you & your & everyone you meet
This is a really, really superb lecture. The breadth of the good Dr's knowledge and his ability to link up mechanistic evidence and systemic effects is something one comes across unfortunately only too rarely in clinicians.
@jeankap - our clinicians are squeezed by insurance companies & don’t even have the time to give us the thorough exams I remember from my youth. However, I’ve found when I ASK about nutrition, (my clinician at least) I received some good recommendations for diet change.
Yeah, I wish that I had been able to stop my mom from eating fast food. I took care of her for eight years and I wish that I had had her on a whole food plant based diet.
Wow , I’m so sorry for your loss. I am also going threw a loss my mother, my brother, & my wife, to cancer… & because of all the misleading information. We have no right knowledge. Like the types of food to eat or not to eat. …..I blame myself for not researching more. In my mind I thought everything was going to be okay ..never realized now, how precious life is. things happen for a reason ..that we can not stop. (Maybe there time on earth was up ). Again sorry for your loss blessings to you & yours. 🙏🏼
@@josevazquez7197 Thanks a lot. It is difficult to take care of others. I pray that you find balance and forgive yourself for what you didn't know. I'm learning to do the same thing. It takes time. May God help us both.
I’m sorry about your mom. But I was vegetarian, Egan and raw for 13 years and let me tell you, I almost died. My body broke down and I did supplement. Vegetarianism is not better for you or the planet. In fact, farm, free range, appropriate feeding of and care of animals is better. Think of all the shipping, the lane being flattened for soy. It’s an agenda
My grandma and grandpa ate meat regularly and sometimes red meat, though not always. They did not abstain from sweets like ice cream, cake, pies ( which my grandma always baked) they would consume moderately or occasionally. They ate eggs (chicken eggs) quite often. Did take a multivitamin, Geritol plus vitamin C and E. Don’t think they even knew what turmeric was although yellow mustard was consumed often. They did eat a lot of vegetables -sometimes over cooked in my opinion. They also ate fish often - cod, flounder sole. Grandpa love to eat a tin of sardines with a shot of cold vodka! Grandma’s favorite snack was marinated pigs feet from a jar-Yecch! Did not smoke, drank alcohol moderately, grandma anyway. Grandma lived to be 97 grandpa 92 but he smoked ciggies in his younger years (until age 70 but not a heavy smoker). grandpa was still fishing bowling and golfing well into his 80sBoth were thin all their lives, never had heart disease, cancer or diabetes. So go figure. Also, both worshiped together regularly- church every Sunday and prayer most evenings.
Each person has and individual vulnerability and strengh. Probably your grandparents were not eating meat that was treated with hormones or antibiotics, or maybe that the food given to those animals were not GMOs , with pesticides or grown with synthetics. It is more complex that what we know. Oxidative process and diseases related to that as cancer, or others due to oxidation and inflamations does not show up in "the first generation" eating stuff that is not good but in the third or fourth... just do a little research and you will be able to confirm this affirmation. Is like trasgenic wheat... which is something that has being considered food for centuries... but centuries ago the seed and methods of growing where not the same as now... and wheat seeds GMOs are full of fitotoxics in their ADN that will repel and kill predators, the original wheat has nothing like that... our bodies had not dapted to "that kind" of addition, so, will not kill just insects but those toxins will do something to some people that have autoinmune diseases or are sensitive to those "new" compounds... Sorry, Spanish is my mother language. My English is a little bit rusted.
Thank you for this video. With all the clinical trials & evidence based studies out there, not knowing is no excuse for not finding out. Most doctors are loyal and dedicated employees for big pharma.
There is many things that are debated in nutrition, so it's not that simple as saying just go find out when half the experts say 1 thing and the other half say the opposite.
@@cyberfunk3793 you’re right. It confuses people so you have to research yourself and everything doesn’t work for everybody. It helps to have doctors who bring new knowledge and techniques, not just write prescriptions
@@cyberfunk3793 Recently read a quote ... the obstacle to discovery is not ignorance but the presumption of knowledge' which yes is linked to a disturbing trend to confirmation bias due to funding ... you are totally spot on and I think it is systemic but as a person I do what I think is right and ignore the debates on any side. For me unprocessed food as much as possible vegan works. Perhaps a drop in the ocean but I don't care.... the world is so chaotic now just trying to do the right thing.
@@cyberfunk3793 There are a few basic rules, if it grows on a plant, a tree, underground or on top of the ground it is good for you. That is all veg, fruit, nuts, seeds, beans. All of these foods contain protein, fat, carbohydrate (good carbs). All the components for a complete meal. Add good fats, coconut oil or raw coconut, olive oil, butter, no vegetable, vegetable or seed oils in a bottle, eat the food, eat small amounts of meat, fish, cheese, eggs, yogurt, full fat milk or cream.
@@teresawilliamson9377 "Nightshade vegetables, like peppers, potatoes, and eggplant, are are controversial, because many claim they can cause inflammation, according to Cynthia Sass, a registered dietician. This can lead to some pretty serious complications down the line: heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, to name a few. However, the research is inconclusive and if you can eat nightshade veggies and feel fine-keep at it!" Also many if not most professionals already say coconut oil is probably not healthy because of the saturated fat but it's not as clear yet as it is with palm oil which is definitely unhealthy. Butter obviously not healthy for the same reason: saturated fat that causes insulin resistance directly (diabetes) and heart disease by elevating ApoB. Cheese also very loaded with saturated fat so clearly unhealthy. Eggs are linked with higher all cause mortality from cancer, diabetes and heart disease so another unhealthy food.
That was really great. There is so much conflicting advice out there about what is and is not good for you and your risk of cancer, but this really made a lot of sense especially because he explained what the foods did both good and bad to the body to put you at risk or protect you. I am going to include green tea and mushrooms in my diet now, among other recommendations! Thanks!
Yes mushrooms like white button and lions mane are serious cancer fighters...I drink 2 cups of mushroom coffee every day and 2 cups of green tea and turmeric as well
It's because nobody knows what causes cancer with certainty , if they know then we have a cure already, the only good thing with cancer is many people get wealthy with it, Doctors can write any book about cancer and there always be buyers.
@@vidalskyociosen3326 True, but it can be cured with prevention..for example prostate cancer is very prodonimant in African Americans...so protocol should be, instead of checking for psa for prostate cancer at the age 50, it should be imagining starting at age 40 ,psa blood test and digital rectal exams start in high risk groups...that what I just said would take a huge cut in their medical pocket book.
There comes a point where I have to decide whether I value avoiding cancers over enjoying foods I like. Watching videos like this seems to tell me I run a risk consuming just about any kind of food that is not a vegetable, fruit, nut, or fish.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Essentially, you live life the way that makes you the happiest. Nobody wants cancer. But I think if you stick to grass fed beef, open Range chicken and eggs and meats that are unprocessed and untouched from butcher to store, you should be OK. Even so, a cheat here and there isn’t going to hurt anybody. I eat one meal a day and I might get a snack of something a time or two throughout the rest of the day. So I don’t really over consume anything. but I have been getting a little bit more conscious about the food that I buy. essentially what the doctor said was that because of the way the food chain has changed over the years, it has less nutrients and more carcinogens. so if we can limit ourselves to the foods we love that are raised the way they originally were, we should be good. I know a 75-year-old man who has consumed bacon pretty much every day of his life. He never had cancer. Sure, he had to have a bypass… Lol. But he is still going strong and still eating bacon after the bypass. I think genes and family history have a lot to do with it also. my mom is the only one in the family that died of cancer, but she smoked since the time she was probably 15 or 16 years old. It was related to that and her lungs. But I don’t know of anybody in my family that got cancer otherwise. My grandma would get skin cancer every once in a while, but it was because she spent so much time outside in the sun. So live your life and just try to stick to food that was raised and packaged naturally, without any additives. It will still taste as good, but you won’t get any of the carcinogens that companies use to preserve and feed these animals. Make them grow faster. The United States has the worst record when it comes to carcinogenic food. Many of the foods that are on our shelves are banned and every other country. That’s not a joke. That should tell you how corporation runs our country as opposed to legislation and the people who elected them into office.
@@tassi13827 no he gets checked every few years. His wife and his daughter are very good at making sure that he gets to the doctor and gets everything done he needs to. he had to have a quadruple bypass because he ate horribly throughout his life and he still does… but, like I said, he’s 75 years old he deserves to eat whatever the hell he wants. If he goes down with a heart attack and dies then he would’ve been happy before that happened. I don’t think his arteries are going to clog that quickly though. It took him 70 years to the bypass after eating bad for decades. So, I think he’ll be good for another 10 or 20 or however, long he lives. That’s the thing though. As Brian Hill said above, everything in life is essentially a balance. Everything in moderation. Meaning, eat, non-processed food the majority of the time and you can sneak something not so good for you every once in a while. But it isn’t something you want to do on a regular basis. I’ve essentially changed my diet over the past two months to 90% carnivore. Eating steaks and chicken and fish and eggs. Some cheese and some tortilla scoops and the Fridays, spinach, cheese dip, which is one of my favorite things. But it’s not something I eat all of the time. If we only have one to live, we need to live it to its fullest every day. I always say, live every day like it’s your last and love like it’s your very first. As you never know what day may be your last. So you want to make sure that you do everything you want to do and experience everything you want to experience before that day happens. So that when it does, you are satisfied With the life you lived.
1. Dr. Abrams makes an excellent point. 2. If organic food wasn’t federally subsidized, the prices of organic alternatives would drop, and more people could afford this more healthy, cancer-fighting option. 3. And the volume of hospitalizations for cancer treatment would correspondingly drop, reducing the costs of healthcare overall.
Right but then big pharma / govt wouldnt make the money. There is a scientist that found the frequency of cancer and can I eradicate it by sound technology.. think they will allow that- no! America allows so much poison in our food most countries have outlawed- why? Because their healthcare is included in their taxes. They couldn’t afford for millions to be sick like we are.
@@sw6118 1. Food that has been grown without the use of pesticides, antibiotics, preservatives or any man-made chemicals to extend the “shelf-life” of the product. 2. The thought being that ingesting food containing such additives-over time-is harmful to human life.
Thank you Sir for such an informative presentation on cancer and guiding public directly bypassing politicians and food-pharma businessman. I am thanking UCTV and youtube also for this nice effort to educate public and doctor community at a time.
Most of this presentation comes across reasonably enough. There is acknowledgement of the roles played by glucose and insulin, and the hazards of sugar in relation to cancer. Then at 35:43 there is curt dismissal of ketogenic diet, with no reason other than it's the speaker's 'least favorite.' This contradiction needs to be explained. Cancer patients deserve better than dismissive, opinion-based non-answers to key questions. We are fighting for our lives, while you are lecturing. I want to see the scientific evidence. In the meantime, I will be doing keto, as it lowers my levels of blood glucose and insulin.
I lost both my parents (and my elder brother) from cancers. My dad used to drink 4 glasses of freshly squeezed orange juices and 4 glasses of fresh pressed carrot juices everyday; he did a min of 4 hrs of exercises per day and he avoided red meat, fat and processed carbs; he still got lung cancer even though he didn't smoke or drink as he was a health freak. My mom got GIST after my dad passed away and her cancer grew to 4.5lbwithin 4 months! I noticed 4 years later when the cancer spread all over her body, she demanded more and more sugar and carbs, as if she was hooked on it, from what I read, it wasn't really her who wanted the sugar and carbs, it was the cancer that wanted her to eat them. 🙄
So sorry for your loss. Losing a family member is the worst feeling ever ..especially a parents yet alone both parents. I loss both parents. when you have a need to speak to someone, who better then your parents who understand & love you. Wishing just for a answer about life in general/ ..maybe a talk about how ever did you tolerate me or have the time, money ,patient ,integrity & knowledge to make me who.. I am today. If only for one precious moment I was able to hold them tight one last time, look at their beautiful smile listen to their laughter. when you finally have that one quiet moment to yourself & wondering where did all the time go. cherish your time on earth. (Your journey ) We have our memories & kno one can ever take them away from us.
Orange juice is too high in sugar to be healthy. My Mom added two teaspoons of sugar to 7 cups of tea a day. She died of pancreatic cancer. She also barely ate vegetables.
why is it no one will say that the obesity related issues are related to the food additives in everything. looking back at the 70's obesity was not an issue the companies that create food like substances should be stopped to improve everyone's health stop blaming the victim who are trying to do healthy eating without a phd in chemistry!
Start small... replacing a serving of chips with a serving of veggies or protein or dont snack. U are already healthier than you before. Thats all it takes. Once u get yourself use to adding in better quality then u start setting things up to meet whatever your goal is. Mine is mental health. Regardless of the weight and fat loss, keeping my mental health at the fore front. Cutting down on sugar(i am not cutting them completely out lol) and lower carbs help me out alot. There is no way around but its something you must experience on your own. Be mindful of the next time u sugar or heavy carbs...pay attention to how your body reacts sometimes to it.
The breakfast in the hotels are very bad to compare the one in Europe. Most of American hotels do not provide the plain yoghurt . All are too sweet including yogurt. It is one of my observations about the food in America.
Thank you for this video! This video should be translated and shown on all tv channels and schools all over the world! I had a colon surgery and chemotherapy and since then bought a walking pad and try to walk a few kilometers a week: I agree that walking reduces the risk of cancer. I also stopped cow milk and use oatmilk currently! I try to avoid soy products as much I can! Also eat more fish than meat now and my diet is 50 %vegetables and the rest protein and rice or noodles! I also cook only with virgin olive oil! My life has changed because I escaped from hell, as the doctor told me!
For the population who can't afford organic food, do the nutritionists recommend intermittent fasting so they can save money as well as their health by eating less often? Is this a legitimate suggestion? Thank you for this presentation. Fantastic.
I'm not a nutritionist, but if you can't afford organic, check out the "clean 15" and the "dirty dozen". It let's you know which produce items are sprayed to death and which are fairly safe conventionally grown. Also, for what its worth... my trainer at the gym says that intermitant fasting is best used by people who can't stop eating at nightn specifically.
This man is brilliant, there is only one point I disagree with eggs. I eat eggs for the good cholesterol, VitD, plus eggs are a complete protein they contain all 9 essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, that aren't produced in the body, the only other food is soya beans, these 2 foods are complete proteins,
On sure, you know more than him. I think I will go with the doc! There are eggs in your period, do you also recommend eating those? Snake eggs, frog eggs, lizard eggs, so much protein, where do you stop?
Soy isolate protein contains unhealthy additives? "Even once you dry yourself off, some residue remains. Want to eat that residue?" The spray drying method used for soy can also form nitrites, compounds that can form carcinogens in the body, she explains. Does soy protein cause inflammation? Excess consumption of omega-6s can trigger the body to produce pro-inflammatory chemicals. These fatty acids are found in oils such corn, safflower, sunflower, grapeseed, soy, peanut, and vegetable; mayonnaise; and many salad dressings.
Never ask a person who lives in an Ivory tower how to shop cheaply. Can't afford fish, you got to be kidding me. A can of sardines costs about $0.65 USD in Australia and slightly larger can of mackerel 425gm, 60% fish costs $1.50 USD. Dry beans cost about $3USD per kilo and I think cheaper in the US. As far as organic and all that stuff, just eat fruit and veges that aren't highly processed, frozen mass market produce is completely ok and cheaper than junk food. It's not about price it's about convenience and pleasure. Making excuses for people that it's too hard to avoid the frozen pizza and buy the frozen veges at half the price is just absurd, funnily enough preparing frozen veggies is about the same effort as the frozen pizza.
Frozen veggies are underrated. Most of the time it is frozen sooner on harvesting, comes pre-sliced for convenience. Cheaper than so called 'fresh' produce. 'Fresh' is not really fresh it is treated with pesticides and other chemicals to last on the shelf, carried in trucks almost a week before you see it, etc.
Aussies are protected from things like glyphosate. Our government doesn't care about us. And organic is out of reach for a lot of regular folks here in the USA. The map he showed with the various cancer rates in the US shows that the Mississippi River area is highest. This is the area highest in glyphosate concentration per Dr Zach Bush. It's in our ground water now. We are doomed, organic or not...😥
@@jellybeanvinkler4878 I wouldn't say protected from but I would say on average Australia or New Zealand are more reliable or less risk than the US, especially with animal agriculture. It amazed me that feed lot cattle in the US are being sold and branded as grass fed and what everyone else calls grass fed is now called grass finished. Apparently grass fed in the US means at some point in the animals life prior to being feed lotted they ate some grass. Although I haven't really looked into it my understanding is the mouth of the Mississippi river is very polluted from small remarks by a lot of people.
On one hand, he says insulin resistance due to high insulin levels contribute to cancer while recommending high-carb foods which spike its production and discouraging high-fat food which has no effect on insulin. KETO
If the keto diet contains saturated fat, that saturated fat will cause insulin resistance in muscle tissue and the diabetes is only masked without dealing with the root cause(same as avoiding allergens doesn't cure the allergy). There was a doctor 80 years ago that treated diabetes patients with a diet of rice, fruits and sugar! Even such a diet with sugar seemed to be beneficial because it contained no animal proteins and no saturated fat. (I don't recommend the diet though and especially don't recommend sugar).
And on the other hand he mentioned the importance of high fibre in those high carb foods (eg, the difference between orange juice to oranges. Fibre reduces blood glucose spikes).
Thanks for this video. Helps a lot. Abot the ones that cannot afford organic food, maybe you can try to grown your own. Maybe "not all" but replacing some of your foods with sprouts or microgreens that are easy to grow, indoors, and even without room or light is not hard. And seeds are not as expensive as "organic vegetables" if bought in bulk. If you have time, if the weather is good, and got enough sunlight you may grow some veggies too... try some easy ones, at the begging such as radishes, rocket (cruciferous recommended in this video) , ot lettuces and green onions, eventually you would master it, and will be able to grow almost any vegetable... just looking for the right conditions for each variety to develop healthy and strong. God bless you all.
Avoid CAFO red meat. Eat pasture raised red meat. My opinion. CRC survivor at 7 years out. Seed oils and crap processed foods will cause mitochondrial disfunction.
I imagine the doctors at the “low carb down under” conferences (Australian) would disagree. I assume their stance is to first get your insulin resistance under control with a low carb diet + exercise
When they are advocating low carb it is talking about bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, all white. All vegetables and fruit contain carbohydrates, you can eat these in abundance.
@@teresawilliamson9377 sugar from fruit or any vegetable are poisonus. It is better no to eat it, coz caused cáncer. And liver damage pancreatic cáncer.
@@carlospena2641 I disagree, fructose, fruit sugar, from plants is released slowly into the body, you don't need to release lots of insulin, it is stored in the liver & muscles as glycogen to be used for energy as needed. Fruit juice, fuzzy drinks, cakes, biscuits, chocolate, sweets are full of sugar, released quickly into the bloodstream, cause insulin spike and are stored in the liver as fat, very bad.
This conversation was very interesting. I’ve watched plenty videos of people who have cured various stages of different cancers through extended water fasting and juicing to starve the cancer, clean the gut and rebuild the microbiome. Definitely continue to do research and build a protocol that works best for you!
As long as you do 16 hours minimum daily you are ticking the boxes for harnessing, maintaining, capturing, reclaiming, enhancing good health. When fasting I drink herbal teas, water with half sqeezed lemon & tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, vegetable stock cube crushed into cup hot water for the sodium, black coffee choice if any through the day then eat in a 6 hr window, you can have 2 meals within that time but don't graze. Food sits in the stomach at least 2 hrs, takes 6 hrs to digest food. I eat very clean 5 days of the week, relax at weekend but I always do 16 hr fast 7 days a week or sometimes 24 hrs twice a week not 2 days together. Best of both worlds! 😊.

To reach the Fat-Adapted state, try to daily fast at least 16 hours. 3. If you stop eating at 8 pm, don’t eat again until noon the following day. 4. A daily 16/8 fast. 5. Essentially, skipping breakfast. 6. Once your body becomes accustomed to that fasting/feeding regularity, you can try extending your fast another two hours for an 18/6 fast/feed schedule. 7. Effective, optimal, fasting results are achieved between 16-72 hours. 8. Two principles: 9. Devise the schedule that works for YOU! 10. And ANY progress is better than NO progress! 11.

I try my best now that I’ve had to have a colostomy. It’s very hard to keep my good diet and exercise I had before this terrible surgical accident that caused me to get sepsis which later caused cessation of lower bowel and rectal peristalsis ceased, thus the colostomy. None of my drs seem to know what to tell me. My digestive system hasn’t yet recovered . I’ve never eaten red meat ~ very little chicken , some seafood ~ love beans and rice etc but can’t eat then due to risk of blockage which can be life threatening. I need some advice if possible . I eat no processed foods EVER .
Who is responsible for your surgical accident that led to this problem 🤔. That you having ?, you really need some .real medical advice. So sorry this is happening to you,!
Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium electrolyte blood plasma level affect metabolic respiratory performance and should be monitored during fasting or after chemotherapy. .. low electrolyte levels and a return to high glucose levels can trigger "refeeding syndrome" that can trigger a heart attack. Calcium needs vitamin D3 and K2 to be absorbed.
Thank you so much for all your years of dedication and your generosity in sharing this excellent information. It calls to mind the ongoing debate between scientific giants Louis Pasteur and Claude Bernard.

Wish Dr Abrams used WFPB alongside of Vegan. Because you can be a junk food vegan who rarely consumes fruits or veggies. The WFPB is to me the healthiest way to eat. It's low in fats, high in complex carbs, fiber, high nutrients. I never heard of kale or an apple associated with any disease! That's all you hear when it comes to sugars and animal based foods and dairy. Good video and thank you Dr Abrams.
Very good advice over all. My oncologist never said anything about be active but I always was . . Im not sure that’s true about supplements interfering with treatments . That’s so doctors can make more money on continued treatments . I believe it created less side effects long term for me . I’m a 9 year survivor . I did chemo and radiation as well as internal radiation . My body didn’t like raw foods during my treatments.
dear dawn, you might like to read 'the longevity diet' by volter Longo. usc. he has studied the beneficial effects of fasting before & chemo. love & peace.
It is a fact they can interfere with treatments, especially vitA which has shown to increase lung cancer. Even some foods can interfere with treatments, medicines, particularly grapefruit, it can increase or lessen the potency of medicines and can cause a crisis when taking anti-Histamines for hay fever. I don't understand why people eat grapefruit! 🤔
I was surprised that Dr. Abrams did not seem aware of the growing evidence that coffee consumption has a direct relationship with the reduction of cancer risk for individuals with diseased livers aka cirrhosis. He spoke rather cursorily about coffee but it’s becoming an established finding in this regard.
They NEVER differentiate between feed lot red meat (fed antibiotics, steroids, gmo corn, soy and grains) and healthy grass fed beef. Had to turn this video off seconds in before they talk about being vegan and living on high starch. See how well that worked out for Dr John McDougall.
I was buying organic soybeans and making fresh soy milk and yogurt weekly. It caused my fibroids to flare up so badly that I had to stop soy. Within three months I didn't experience any more problems with fibroids. I'm sad because soy makes the best milk and yogurt. I'm 51 and my Dr. says I'm post menopausal. I often wonder if I can try soy again but I'm afraid to.
They eat alot of fish and move more in Norway, especially hiking and cross country skiing is popular. We are close neighbours but they are more healthy. 🇸🇪
I think, people for whom organic whole crops, fish, fruit, and vegetables are not available need a recommendation on whether non-organic ones may serve as the next option compared to traditional non-whole food.
just eat the vegetables you have access to, organic or not. stop making it more difficult than it is. most studies on the benefits of vegetables/fruits do not use organic produce.
Check out Dr Michael Greger. He runs a non profit who looks at studies about treating diseases with food. He states that eating conventionally grown veggies are better than no veggies at all. I try to buy as much organic as I can but if impossible I stick with the dirty dozen list...
"What we eat -- and don’t eat -- is directly related to our health." Why is this scientific truth so diminished or even gaslighted by many healthcare professionals and scientists? It's such a basic, understandable concept.
"Cancer lover sugar. It doesn´t use oxygen for energy". Say what now? Since when do normal cells use oxygen for energy? They use oxygen to *efficiently break down glucose* for energy. Exactly like cancer cells. The whole ATP thing, remember? And if you don´t eat sugar but other carbs instead they´ll use the glucose the carbs get broken down into. And if all you give your body is ketones there´s no reason to assume cancer cells can´t use those. The reason you see that glucose go to the tumor in your scan is that cancer cells are very metabolically active and so require a lot of energy. They´re greedy for growth and whatever your energy source is they´ll take more of it than normal cells.
I am on Keto and daily intermittent fasting and I have no problems with hunger or fatigue during the day leading up to my dinner. I feel mentally sharp, 90% of the pain from inflammation I had for years before Keto has gone away or is far far less noticeable. My wife loves the way my body looks even at 66 yrs old and I feel great. My blood sugar is normal 'now' and my blood pressure which has caused me to be on meds prior to Keto is now normal or on some occasions only slightly higher than normal. Much better than before. I have cheat days every once in awhile but have no problem going back to Keto right after. There is no perfect answer to living forever. I can only say my eating habit is under control, no urge to keep eating like I do when I am eating carbs, no brain fog, better memory. I see research that shows Keto is best to avoid or deal with dementia because when you have Alzheimers your brain slowly starves to death having lost its ability to feed on Carbs, but has no problem feeding on ketones. In fact, ketones are a better food for your brain. Yes there are some risks to the keto diet, no diet has no drawbacks. But for me I am healthier, sharper, stronger, pain free and feel great on keto. I exercise without pain and have the body and brain of a 30 year old.
Very well put. There was some excellent information in this lecture, but the way he brushed off the ketogenic diet by simply saying “carbohydrates are the most important“, without any kind of explanation, showed how closed minded some “scientific“ figures can be. I have also tried a ketogenic diet and found the same benefits as you mention; no brain fog, none of that gnawing “carbohydrate hunger“, tendinitis disappeared, as did dandruff and skin conditions, all of which are symptoms of general inflammation, brought on by a carbohydrate heavy diet. It is not a question of fat versus carbs; it is about a balance. I am no longer in full ketosis, more of a Paleolithic diet, which is low on carbs and avoids all processed foods. The devil is in the details. As the doctor mentions, there is a great distinction between processed carbs, such as bread, pasta, white rice etc. and complex carbohydrates, such as vegetables. This distinction should also be applied to grass fed butter and grass fed meat, which have completely different omega-3/omega-6 profiles from their industrially processed counterparts. All of the meat studies he refers to make no distinction between industrial and grass fed meat. We demonize the food and drug lobbies for their role in the skyrocketing health crisis of chronic, inflammatory-based diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia etc. These are well deserved reputations, but another piece of the puzzle that people are reluctant to admit to is our own willingness to accept what a “doctor“ tells us, without question. Doctors are not gods, they make their own interpretation of whatever they have been told or have read, and many, including Dr. Abrams, are biased, and don’t want to hear any information that goes against their sacred cow. It is up to us to take responsibility for our own health and do the research, to find out what the studies really say, who funded them and who stands to gain by whatever finding they arrive at. Some people will say that they have better things to do, but if somebody told you you could have 10 more years of healthy life that would’ve otherwise been spent in a diseased state, wouldn’t that motivate you to do at least a little research? it is easier to do now than ever, with our access to the Internet. Good luck and best of health to all!
I have been following these recommendations for almost 50 years...no cancer or health issues. I disagree with some things like using supplements. I take vitamin D3 and K2 along with an Omega 3 supplement everyday. I take a food based organic vitamin because I now there is no way I will ever eat all those various micronutrients. I also use herbs (organic) like milk thistle for example. No matter how well a person eats we always have free radicals that must be taken care of by our liver and other systems. I drive down the main road and always see lines of cars in every siingle fast food place. The people look "dead" to me. It is sad that this is what most kids are growing up eating. I am so glad my daughter does not eat this way and neither do my grandkids. It would be sad for me to see .
I lost my Mother, Step Mother, Father, Grandmother, Husband, and 2 best friends to cancer. Only my Father and Grandmother had extra weight. They told my Husband he was the healthiest Cancer Patient they had ever had. He grew up in Texas City Tx chemical refinery area and had stomach cancer. My Mother and step mother both had a good weight for women, both had brain tumors. Eat more crusiferious vegtables, dark leafy greens, and less meat, more beans. Stay away from chemicals. That is my opinion.
Physical appearance is a Terrible predictor of cancer. Hence blood work is required along with removing sugar from your diet. You can’t change genetics yet but you can do all the other things. Most won’t though. There’s folks who were faced with losing an arm or leg due to diabetes and they choose the food over their limb. To each their own.
All what doctor Abrams said is common sense. The problem with pre prepared foods is that there is so much junk added same as in personal care products. All is so contaminated with chemicals. What is happening to the FDA?. USA allows too much junk in our foods and products while same ingredients are banned in other countries. We must eat organic non gmo and be more conscious on what we eat or what we use in our bodies including cosmetics,soaps and personal care products. If we look at ingredients we will be surprised. I was looking at marshmallows ingredients to buy for my grandson and I found geoingeneering ingredients.
I find this part quite conflicting. Mentioned those obese overweight, insulin resistant or diabetes are very high risk group but one of the first recommended diet are minimum 2 cups of fruits and lots of grains. These are all fructose and blood glucose end products.
@@planetvegan7843 he is taking about daily diet - ie 2 cups of fruits. These 2 cups of fruits daily will definitely giving most of modern human to develop fatty liver diseases.
When they say “plant based” they refer to industrial. Sp chua- I remember when my son came home from his first “nutrition” lesson at school. The “my plate” thing that replaced the food pyramid I was taught. (In the states) He came home and asked why they serve them all fried food at lunch, when those things weren’t supposed to be on their plate. The information is less important than the execution for many. They’ll choose to believe the “expert” and they will blind themselves to all contradictory info. The school said their lunch was healthy because fries are veggies and ketchup a fruit. It’s quite conflicting. “You’re insulin resistant, so we’re going to give you more insulin. And if that’s not enough, more insulin” derp. I hope you keep seeing it and asking questions. Peace to you!
Just came from my yearly physical. High cholesterol and border line diabetic from hypoglycemia since I was 17. Nothing changed. Obesity is being glamorized on tv etc. not right. Doctor said I was doing everything right but wanted all these tests done. No thanks. He said no one one knows what causes cancer but tests catch it sooner. Heart attack being fat and stress. Stress will kill you faster than anything in my opinion. Organic and gluten free. Mom died of ovarian cancer. Sister and I got hysterectomy’s. Brest cancer %13 so I’m not worried. BRC 2. Turmeric for inflammation. 10 years organic. Mom lived on puddings and survived cancer for 7 years. Sick but 7 long years. Probably with food in care centers they can’t get nutritional food. Doctors push too many pills.
Ketogenic diet and fasting is a great avenue to research. There are great resources here for these approaches. Please consider as an option for your health.
@@zerocarbdoc Do you have some actual science that compares a keto diet to for example plant based? What I have read is keto causes a lot of issues also, like kidney stones and if the diet is full of saturated fats, it's not good for diabetes either (just masks it).
dear Cheryl, you may want to consider intermittent fasting (if). I reversed my t2 diabetes by becoming vegetarian & combining it with if. good luck, peace & love.
At 1:21:05, it's mentioned: "I often recommend a PRO-biotic as well as concentrating on PRE-biotic foods: sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi etc." This is wrong. Just to clarify, sauerkraut & kimchi are actually PRO-biotic foods because they contain live cultures. PRE-biotics, on the other hand, refer to foods rich in fiber that feed beneficial gut bacteria. Also regarding pickles: only those made through lacto-fermentation and not pasteurized contain live cultures and can be considered probiotic. However, most commercial pickles are pasteurized or made with vinegar, which means they don’t contain live cultures.
So you recommend eating fruit (weight gainer) and whole grains, which aren't weight loss foods. And what great benefit do these foods have for the human body? I just wonder.
It's because french people don't eat french food any more they eat américan food , soda like you .........that's why !! Merci beaucoup pour cette belle démonstration
What about regenerative farming? Today we can get grass fed & grass finished meat that have the traditional omega 6 to omega 3 ratios. I would like to see a study comparing grass finished beef to grain/ soya etc finished beef…the same for eggs. Egg yolks are extremely healthy when pasture raised.

I truly enjoyed watching this video. Historically, I had no idea my Family was so untrained in understanding the fundamental building blocks of proper diet, lifestyle choices, and how to maintain one's health; especially with the passage of time. As time passes, I have to thank UA-cam for bringing the power of millions of minds together, allowing society to make substantial strides, which with the press of the Enter Key, allow one to have the best opportunities to live a healthy, prosperous, and happy life. Thank you, Dr. Abrams, M.D. - MDM, JD Candidate.
1. ALL very well said! 👍
I am trying so hard to get my family on board with diet 😞
I must question why when in the hospital due to a cancer (3rd time over 26 years and this one result of radiation that was necessary) the food on the tray was ensure products that list corn fructose as the first ingredient. I couldn't make myself take it in bc I felt I was defeating all that my surgeon and nurses had done. Not to mention all the pain I went through. Who is making the decision at the hospital kitchen--there are other options--but ensure must be making it worth it to the hospital entities? Kickbacks perhaps.
@@GiveThanksAndPraise I so agree. I cannot even force myself to donate it to somewhere because I feel if I won't consume it then why would it be okay for somebody else. There are so many other healthy options. And while I understand that people might not be eating well that still doesn't overcome that this stuff is not what I would consider nutrition. I think I will just tell folks I am allergic to it or something. Glad I am not alone in thinking these ingredients aren't good for consumption!!
@@cynthiaconroy4924 Remember this... Fasting kills cancer.
If you can get a loved one to bring you more nutritional food while in the hospital and the doctor approves it. Do it. You have control over what you consume. There are times when it is not wise to eat certain things. For ex, orange juice/grapefruit juice interferes with some oral medications etc. it is ultimately your choice consume something other than the dairy, sweet tea and white bread on that tray as long as it doesn’t exacerbated your issue and doc says it’s ok. The food that is given is “safe” which is understandable but I wish they would hire someone to really take each individual patient’s nutritional needs.
That’s so true, also for Germany. The diet in hospitals is outrageous unhealthy, white bread, jam, butter, fatty sausage cold cuts, starchy sauces and noodles, Joghurts with loads of sugar. Just to match a mass-taste, made from canteen convenience products. No fresh salads and nuts. Money makes the decisions for Hospital diet. As cheap as possible.
Well private prisons don't have a financial incentive to rehabilitate. Shoes usually have midsoles that break down fast.
When I had cancer I was told by my doctor not to take sugar, dairy, processed food, carbs
@@happycook6737 What about olive oil? Good to add excercise to that calori reduction as it helps keep the metabolism from downgrading (less risk of the weight coming back). It doesn't need to even be something like running, I lost about 10kg last year in a few months just by doing long walks and limiting total calories to 1700 per day (target that I did not always achieve though).
@@pearlygrace7607 if you’re looking for motivation to change your eating habits, stop talking to doctors. Find a functional nutritionist or holistic health coach.
Your doctor knew what he was talking about. Sugar, is what cancer feeds on.
@@KanakaMaoli713 If you ever looked at the way a PET scan worked you might change your mind. Cancer feeds on glucose.
@@pepper419 totally agree with you my friend
Thanks so much. This was very helpful. My cancer was cured but I feel glad to know I’ve been on the right track to hopefully prevent a recurrence.
Thank you! I am a Cancer patient "in recovery" and I appreciate this video. : ) I am now a vegetarian and have never felt better! cut out the use of sugar/sugar foods & sodas. Best choice I have ever made for myself and animals.
Vegetables have sugar in them 🙄
@@jameshydes6499 Natural sugar: not processed
@@shellyclayton202 it's funny and scary that you think it's any different, you might know it's natural but your body doesn't. All you are doing is justifying your sugar addiction by saying it's natural.
If you can’t afford it, grow it. Seeds are generally inexpensive and some things can be grown indoors ❤️
Exactly! As cancer showed up in my family I had been growing a lot of veggies with and ecologic (organic non certified) approach (permaculture style) and it is very easy. Just a few seeds, small packages, and let some plants blooms, flower, and get tons of seeds for your own next crops and even enough for microgreens and sprouts. It is not too hard... Start with easy crops such as radishes, rocket, lettuce, aromatic herbs...
Thanks for your excellent lectures on oncology and nutrition. DR.JOYDEV MONDAL, BOLPUR, BIRBHUM, WEST BENGAL INDIA.
Wow. “Thank you, Dr Donald” for your precious time & knowledge to inform us this positive information.
F. T. Listener great lecture.
I will start a healthier & better eating habit.
T. Y. & Much blessings to you & your & everyone you meet
Awesome lecture!! This doctor is so intelligent and gave such a thorough and incredible presentation! Pure gold!
😆
one of the best presentations I've seen. This video should be a must see for everyone.
This is a really, really superb lecture. The breadth of the good Dr's knowledge and his ability to link up mechanistic evidence and systemic effects is something one comes across unfortunately only too rarely in clinicians.
@jeankap - our clinicians are squeezed by insurance companies & don’t even have the time to give us the thorough exams I remember from my youth.
However, I’ve found when I ASK about nutrition, (my clinician at least) I received some good recommendations for diet change.
I should add - and the corporatization of our hospitals and medical care.
40:21 what about recommending leafy greens for calcium, other nutrients.
Dr. Abrams is a freaking genius! I loved this lecture so much!
Thank you a million for this focused preventive health lecture! Wow, what a treat.
Gift now to find such constructive evidence based info presented in a low key clear way.
The likes of you give me hope 💕 Thank you for being a true medicine man!
Yeah, I wish that I had been able to stop my mom from eating fast food. I took care of her for eight years and I wish that I had had her on a whole food plant based diet.
It's full of addicting chemicals.
Wow , I’m so sorry for your loss.
I am also going threw a loss my mother, my brother, & my wife, to cancer… & because of all the misleading information.
We have no right knowledge.
Like the types of food to eat or not to eat.
…..I blame myself for not researching more.
In my mind I thought everything was going to be okay ..never realized now, how precious life is.
things happen for a reason ..that we can not stop. (Maybe there time on earth was up ).
Again sorry for your loss blessings to you & yours. 🙏🏼
@@josevazquez7197 Thanks a lot. It is difficult to take care of others. I pray that you find balance and forgive yourself for what you didn't know. I'm learning to do the same thing. It takes time. May God help us both.
I’m sorry about your mom. But I was vegetarian, Egan and raw for 13 years and let me tell you, I almost died. My body broke down and I did supplement. Vegetarianism is not better for you or the planet. In fact, farm, free range, appropriate feeding of and care of animals is better. Think of all the shipping, the lane being flattened for soy.
It’s an agenda
My grandma and grandpa ate meat regularly and sometimes red meat, though not always. They did not abstain from sweets like ice cream, cake, pies ( which my grandma always baked) they would consume moderately or occasionally. They ate eggs (chicken eggs) quite often. Did take a multivitamin, Geritol plus vitamin C and E. Don’t think they even knew what turmeric was although yellow mustard was consumed often. They did eat a lot of vegetables -sometimes over cooked in my opinion. They also ate fish often - cod, flounder sole. Grandpa love to eat a tin of sardines with a shot of cold vodka! Grandma’s favorite snack was marinated pigs feet from a jar-Yecch! Did not smoke, drank alcohol moderately, grandma anyway. Grandma lived to be 97 grandpa 92 but he smoked ciggies in his younger years (until age 70 but not a heavy smoker). grandpa was still fishing bowling and golfing well into his 80sBoth were thin all their lives, never had heart disease, cancer or diabetes. So go figure. Also, both worshiped together regularly- church every Sunday and prayer most evenings.
Doesn't sound weird to me! Animal-based diet rules!!!
Just amazing stories of your grandparents they seem to live in a great happy life, moderately executed diet, happy and active.
Each person has and individual vulnerability and strengh. Probably your grandparents were not eating meat that was treated with hormones or antibiotics, or maybe that the food given to those animals were not GMOs , with pesticides or grown with synthetics. It is more complex that what we know. Oxidative process and diseases related to that as cancer, or others due to oxidation and inflamations does not show up in "the first generation" eating stuff that is not good but in the third or fourth... just do a little research and you will be able to confirm this affirmation. Is like trasgenic wheat... which is something that has being considered food for centuries... but centuries ago the seed and methods of growing where not the same as now... and wheat seeds GMOs are full of fitotoxics in their ADN that will repel and kill predators, the original wheat has nothing like that... our bodies had not dapted to "that kind" of addition, so, will not kill just insects but those toxins will do something to some people that have autoinmune diseases or are sensitive to those "new" compounds... Sorry, Spanish is my mother language. My English is a little bit rusted.
True. But these truly are probably exceptions. I will stick with current science
@@dorigeorge9298 Exactly! 20% of the population is not enough for the 60% of us.
Thank you for this video. With all the clinical trials & evidence based studies out there, not knowing is no excuse for not finding out. Most doctors are loyal and dedicated employees for big pharma.
There is many things that are debated in nutrition, so it's not that simple as saying just go find out when half the experts say 1 thing and the other half say the opposite.
@@cyberfunk3793 you’re right. It confuses people so you have to research yourself and everything doesn’t work for everybody. It helps to have doctors who bring new knowledge and techniques, not just write prescriptions
@@cyberfunk3793 Recently read a quote ... the obstacle to discovery is not ignorance but the presumption of knowledge' which yes is linked to a disturbing trend to confirmation bias due to funding ... you are totally spot on and I think it is systemic but as a person I do what I think is right and ignore the debates on any side. For me unprocessed food as much as possible vegan works. Perhaps a drop in the ocean but I don't care.... the world is so chaotic now just trying to do the right thing.
@@cyberfunk3793 There are a few basic rules, if it grows on a plant, a tree, underground or on top of the ground it is good for you. That is all veg, fruit, nuts, seeds, beans. All of these foods contain protein, fat, carbohydrate (good carbs). All the components for a complete meal. Add good fats, coconut oil or raw coconut, olive oil, butter, no vegetable, vegetable or seed oils in a bottle, eat the food, eat small amounts of meat, fish, cheese, eggs, yogurt, full fat milk or cream.
@@teresawilliamson9377 "Nightshade vegetables, like peppers, potatoes, and eggplant, are are controversial, because many claim they can cause inflammation, according to Cynthia Sass, a registered dietician. This can lead to some pretty serious complications down the line: heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, to name a few. However, the research is inconclusive and if you can eat nightshade veggies and feel fine-keep at it!"
Also many if not most professionals already say coconut oil is probably not healthy because of the saturated fat but it's not as clear yet as it is with palm oil which is definitely unhealthy.
Butter obviously not healthy for the same reason: saturated fat that causes insulin resistance directly (diabetes) and heart disease by elevating ApoB.
Cheese also very loaded with saturated fat so clearly unhealthy.
Eggs are linked with higher all cause mortality from cancer, diabetes and heart disease so another unhealthy food.
That was really great. There is so much conflicting advice out there about what is and is not good for you and your risk of cancer, but this really made a lot of sense especially because he explained what the foods did both good and bad to the body to put you at risk or protect you. I am going to include green tea and mushrooms in my diet now, among other recommendations! Thanks!
Yes mushrooms like white button and lions mane are serious cancer fighters...I drink 2 cups of mushroom coffee every day and 2 cups of green tea and turmeric as well
It's because nobody knows what causes cancer with certainty , if they know then we have a cure already, the only good thing with cancer is many people get wealthy with it, Doctors can write any book about cancer and there always be buyers.
@@vidalskyociosen3326 True, but it can be cured with prevention..for example prostate cancer is very prodonimant in African Americans...so protocol should be, instead of checking for psa for prostate cancer at the age 50, it should be imagining starting at age 40 ,psa blood test and digital rectal exams start in high risk groups...that what I just said would take a huge cut in their medical pocket book.

@@crystalbernard9488 I drink four sigmatic mushroom coffee ..sorry for the late response..
Thank you Hospice nurse. Your videos answer so many questions I have held for a long time. This helps so much! 💖
There comes a point where I have to decide whether I value avoiding cancers over enjoying foods I like. Watching videos like this seems to tell me I run a risk consuming just about any kind of food that is not a vegetable, fruit, nut, or fish.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Essentially, you live life the way that makes you the happiest. Nobody wants cancer. But I think if you stick to grass fed beef, open Range chicken and eggs and meats that are unprocessed and untouched from butcher to store, you should be OK. Even so, a cheat here and there isn’t going to hurt anybody. I eat one meal a day and I might get a snack of something a time or two throughout the rest of the day. So I don’t really over consume anything. but I have been getting a little bit more conscious about the food that I buy. essentially what the doctor said was that because of the way the food chain has changed over the years, it has less nutrients and more carcinogens. so if we can limit ourselves to the foods we love that are raised the way they originally were, we should be good.
I know a 75-year-old man who has consumed bacon pretty much every day of his life. He never had cancer. Sure, he had to have a bypass… Lol. But he is still going strong and still eating bacon after the bypass. I think genes and family history have a lot to do with it also. my mom is the only one in the family that died of cancer, but she smoked since the time she was probably 15 or 16 years old. It was related to that and her lungs. But I don’t know of anybody in my family that got cancer otherwise. My grandma would get skin cancer every once in a while, but it was because she spent so much time outside in the sun.
So live your life and just try to stick to food that was raised and packaged naturally, without any additives. It will still taste as good, but you won’t get any of the carcinogens that companies use to preserve and feed these animals. Make them grow faster. The United States has the worst record when it comes to carcinogenic food. Many of the foods that are on our shelves are banned and every other country. That’s not a joke. That should tell you how corporation runs our country as opposed to legislation and the people who elected them into office.
@@MeltWithU That 75 yo man may have prostate cancer but not know it yet.
@@tassi13827 no he gets checked every few years. His wife and his daughter are very good at making sure that he gets to the doctor and gets everything done he needs to. he had to have a quadruple bypass because he ate horribly throughout his life and he still does… but, like I said, he’s 75 years old he deserves to eat whatever the hell he wants. If he goes down with a heart attack and dies then he would’ve been happy before that happened. I don’t think his arteries are going to clog that quickly though. It took him 70 years to the bypass after eating bad for decades. So, I think he’ll be good for another 10 or 20 or however, long he lives.
That’s the thing though. As Brian Hill said above, everything in life is essentially a balance. Everything in moderation. Meaning, eat, non-processed food the majority of the time and you can sneak something not so good for you every once in a while. But it isn’t something you want to do on a regular basis. I’ve essentially changed my diet over the past two months to 90% carnivore. Eating steaks and chicken and fish and eggs. Some cheese and some tortilla scoops and the Fridays, spinach, cheese dip, which is one of my favorite things. But it’s not something I eat all of the time.
If we only have one to live, we need to live it to its fullest every day. I always say, live every day like it’s your last and love like it’s your very first. As you never know what day may be your last. So you want to make sure that you do everything you want to do and experience everything you want to experience before that day happens. So that when it does, you are satisfied With the life you lived.
Excellent, every ❤a with present or past history of cancer as well as general population should hear this !
So nice, very informative, helpful, well-explained about do"s and don'ts regarding cancer. thanx so much!
1. Dr. Abrams makes an excellent point.
2. If organic food wasn’t federally subsidized, the prices of organic alternatives would drop, and more people could afford this more healthy, cancer-fighting option.
3. And the volume of hospitalizations for cancer treatment would correspondingly drop, reducing the costs of healthcare overall.
Right but then big pharma / govt wouldnt make the money. There is a scientist that found the frequency of cancer and can I eradicate it by sound technology.. think they will allow that- no!
America allows so much poison in our food most countries have outlawed- why? Because their healthcare is included in their taxes. They couldn’t afford for millions to be sick like we are.
What is an organic alternative?
What organic subsidy are you talking about? In my experience organic fruits and vegetables are always more costly.
@@sw6118
1. Food that has been grown without the use of pesticides, antibiotics, preservatives or any man-made chemicals to extend the “shelf-life” of the product.
2. The thought being that ingesting food containing such additives-over time-is harmful to human life.
For mouth sores drink cabbage juice. I like the idea of cabbage in vegetable soup.
Thank you Sir for such an informative presentation on cancer and guiding public directly bypassing politicians and food-pharma businessman. I am thanking UCTV and youtube also for this nice effort to educate public and doctor community at a time.
Most of this presentation comes across reasonably enough. There is acknowledgement of the roles played by glucose and insulin, and the hazards of sugar in relation to cancer. Then at 35:43 there is curt dismissal of ketogenic diet, with no reason other than it's the speaker's 'least favorite.' This contradiction needs to be explained. Cancer patients deserve better than dismissive, opinion-based non-answers to key questions. We are fighting for our lives, while you are lecturing. I want to see the scientific evidence. In the meantime, I will be doing keto, as it lowers my levels of blood glucose and insulin.
I lost both my parents (and my elder brother) from cancers. My dad used to drink 4 glasses of freshly squeezed orange juices and 4 glasses of fresh pressed carrot juices everyday; he did a min of 4 hrs of exercises per day and he avoided red meat, fat and processed carbs; he still got lung cancer even though he didn't smoke or drink as he was a health freak. My mom got GIST after my dad passed away and her cancer grew to 4.5lbwithin 4 months! I noticed 4 years later when the cancer spread all over her body, she demanded more and more sugar and carbs, as if she was hooked on it, from what I read, it wasn't really her who wanted the sugar and carbs, it was the cancer that wanted her to eat them. 🙄
So sorry for your loss.
Losing a family member is the worst feeling ever ..especially a parents yet alone both parents.
I loss both parents.
when you have a need to speak to someone, who better then your parents who understand & love you.
Wishing just for a answer about life in general/ ..maybe a talk about how ever did you tolerate me or have the time, money ,patient ,integrity & knowledge to make me who.. I am today.
If only for one precious moment I was able to hold them tight one last time, look at their beautiful smile listen to their laughter.

cherish your time on earth.

I think you speak falsely, my friend
Orange juice is too high in sugar to be healthy. My Mom added two teaspoons of sugar to 7 cups of tea a day. She died of pancreatic cancer. She also barely ate vegetables.
Too much sugar from those juices! No fiber.
Thank You for your research , dedication.. Excellent video . Whole plant diet now
why is it no one will say that the obesity related issues are related to the food additives in everything. looking back at the 70's obesity was not an issue the companies that create food like substances should be stopped to improve everyone's health stop blaming the victim who are trying to do healthy eating without a phd in chemistry!
Start small... replacing a serving of chips with a serving of veggies or protein or dont snack. U are already healthier than you before. Thats all it takes. Once u get yourself use to adding in better quality then u start setting things up to meet whatever your goal is. Mine is mental health. Regardless of the weight and fat loss, keeping my mental health at the fore front. Cutting down on sugar(i am not cutting them completely out lol) and lower carbs help me out alot. There is no way around but its something you must experience on your own. Be mindful of the next time u sugar or heavy carbs...pay attention to how your body reacts sometimes to it.
Dr. Abrams what great information you bring to the table. Thank you so much for the education.
The breakfast in the hotels are very bad to compare the one in Europe. Most of American hotels do not provide the plain yoghurt . All are too sweet including yogurt. It is one of my observations about the food in America.
I spent a month in Europe and all the breakfast included a whole bunch of bread. Smdh
Breakfasts in Europe are high carbs!!
this video is extremely valuable. thank you so much to everyone involved for making this possible.
Thank you for this video! This video should be translated and shown on all tv channels and schools all over the world! I had a colon surgery and chemotherapy and since then bought a walking pad and try to walk a few kilometers a week: I agree that walking reduces the risk of cancer. I also stopped cow milk and use oatmilk currently! I try to avoid soy products as much I can! Also eat more fish than meat now and my diet is 50 %vegetables and the rest protein and rice or noodles! I also cook only with virgin olive oil! My life has changed because I escaped from hell, as the doctor told me!
We are so ready !!!
OMG-The doctor is a genius!
For the population who can't afford organic food, do the nutritionists recommend intermittent fasting so they can save money as well as their health by eating less often? Is this a legitimate suggestion? Thank you for this presentation. Fantastic.
I'm not a nutritionist, but if you can't afford organic, check out the "clean 15" and the "dirty dozen". It let's you know which produce items are sprayed to death and which are fairly safe conventionally grown. Also, for what its worth... my trainer at the gym says that intermitant fasting is best used by people who can't stop eating at nightn specifically.
@April Howell l
I follow that rule because fasting is the best for optimum health!
This man is brilliant, there is only one point I disagree with eggs. I eat eggs for the good cholesterol, VitD, plus eggs are a complete protein they contain all 9 essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein, that aren't produced in the body, the only other food is soya beans, these 2 foods are complete proteins,
On sure, you know more than him. I think I will go with the doc! There are eggs in your period, do you also recommend eating those? Snake eggs, frog eggs, lizard eggs, so much protein, where do you stop?
Wonderfull. I look forward to more sessions. Thank you
Thankyou for sharing the valuable information .
Soy isolate protein contains unhealthy additives?
"Even once you dry yourself off, some residue remains. Want to eat that residue?" The spray drying method used for soy can also form nitrites, compounds that can form carcinogens in the body, she explains.
Does soy protein cause inflammation?
Excess consumption of omega-6s can trigger the body to produce pro-inflammatory chemicals. These fatty acids are found in oils such corn, safflower, sunflower, grapeseed, soy, peanut, and vegetable; mayonnaise; and many salad dressings.
Never ask a person who lives in an Ivory tower how to shop cheaply. Can't afford fish, you got to be kidding me. A can of sardines costs about $0.65 USD in Australia and slightly larger can of mackerel 425gm, 60% fish costs $1.50 USD. Dry beans cost about $3USD per kilo and I think cheaper in the US. As far as organic and all that stuff, just eat fruit and veges that aren't highly processed, frozen mass market produce is completely ok and cheaper than junk food. It's not about price it's about convenience and pleasure. Making excuses for people that it's too hard to avoid the frozen pizza and buy the frozen veges at half the price is just absurd, funnily enough preparing frozen veggies is about the same effort as the frozen pizza.
Frozen veggies are underrated. Most of the time it is frozen sooner on harvesting, comes pre-sliced for convenience. Cheaper than so called 'fresh' produce. 'Fresh' is not really fresh it is treated with pesticides and other chemicals to last on the shelf, carried in trucks almost a week before you see it, etc.
Aussies are protected from things like glyphosate. Our government doesn't care about us. And organic is out of reach for a lot of regular folks here in the USA.
The map he showed with the various cancer rates in the US shows that the Mississippi River area is highest. This is the area highest in glyphosate concentration per Dr Zach Bush. It's in our ground water now. We are doomed, organic or not...😥
@@jellybeanvinkler4878 I wouldn't say protected from but I would say on average Australia or New Zealand are more reliable or less risk than the US, especially with animal agriculture. It amazed me that feed lot cattle in the US are being sold and branded as grass fed and what everyone else calls grass fed is now called grass finished. Apparently grass fed in the US means at some point in the animals life prior to being feed lotted they ate some grass.
Although I haven't really looked into it my understanding is the mouth of the Mississippi river is very polluted from small remarks by a lot of people.
On one hand, he says insulin resistance due to high insulin levels contribute to cancer while recommending high-carb foods which spike its production and discouraging high-fat food which has no effect on insulin. KETO
If the keto diet contains saturated fat, that saturated fat will cause insulin resistance in muscle tissue and the diabetes is only masked without dealing with the root cause(same as avoiding allergens doesn't cure the allergy). There was a doctor 80 years ago that treated diabetes patients with a diet of rice, fruits and sugar! Even such a diet with sugar seemed to be beneficial because it contained no animal proteins and no saturated fat. (I don't recommend the diet though and especially don't recommend sugar).
@@cyberfunk3793 (I don't recommend the diet though and especially don't recommend sugar).
carbohydrates are sugar.
@@sharkair2839 "carbohydrates are sugar."
🤦♂
And on the other hand he mentioned the importance of high fibre in those high carb foods (eg, the difference between orange juice to oranges. Fibre reduces blood glucose spikes).
Thanks for this video. Helps a lot. Abot the ones that cannot afford organic food, maybe you can try to grown your own. Maybe "not all" but replacing some of your foods with sprouts or microgreens that are easy to grow, indoors, and even without room or light is not hard. And seeds are not as expensive as "organic vegetables" if bought in bulk. If you have time, if the weather is good, and got enough sunlight you may grow some veggies too... try some easy ones, at the begging such as radishes, rocket (cruciferous recommended in this video) , ot lettuces and green onions, eventually you would master it, and will be able to grow almost any vegetable... just looking for the right conditions for each variety to develop healthy and strong. God bless you all.
Thank you very much for this information.
Avoid CAFO red meat. Eat pasture raised red meat. My opinion. CRC survivor at 7 years out. Seed oils and crap processed foods will cause mitochondrial disfunction.
He totally missed the boat on seed oils. Glad you caught it. Stay well.
Thank you for great programme.
I imagine the doctors at the “low carb down under” conferences (Australian) would disagree. I assume their stance is to first get your insulin resistance under control with a low carb diet + exercise
And they would be right.
Who cares what they think.
When they are advocating low carb it is talking about bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, all white. All vegetables and fruit contain carbohydrates, you can eat these in abundance.
@@teresawilliamson9377 sugar from fruit or any vegetable are poisonus. It is better no to eat it, coz caused cáncer. And liver damage pancreatic cáncer.
@@carlospena2641 I disagree, fructose, fruit sugar, from plants is released slowly into the body, you don't need to release lots of insulin, it is stored in the liver & muscles as glycogen to be used for energy as needed. Fruit juice, fuzzy drinks, cakes, biscuits, chocolate, sweets are full of sugar, released quickly into the bloodstream, cause insulin spike and are stored in the liver as fat, very bad.
Thanks for sharing God bless you ❤️
I can’t believe that studies are necessary to know that fast food, processed sugar, etc is unhealthy.
Your the best doc! Bless you and your truth.
thanks you so much, great video. diagnosed with parathyroid CA 3 years ago.
Nothing is definitive. I did a juice fast and healed lots of issues. I don't have juice now regularly, but the short intense period did wonders.
This conversation was very interesting. I’ve watched plenty videos of people who have cured various stages of different cancers through extended water fasting and juicing to starve the cancer, clean the gut and rebuild the microbiome. Definitely continue to do research and build a protocol that works best for you!
Thank you, for presentador
Thanks Dr brain Congratulations for your thoughts
As long as you do 16 hours minimum daily you are ticking the boxes for harnessing, maintaining, capturing, reclaiming, enhancing good health. When fasting I drink herbal teas, water with half sqeezed lemon & tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, vegetable stock cube crushed into cup hot water for the sodium, black coffee choice if any through the day then eat in a 6 hr window, you can have 2 meals within that time but don't graze. Food sits in the stomach at least 2 hrs, takes 6 hrs to digest food. I eat very clean 5 days of the week, relax at weekend but I always do 16 hr fast 7 days a week or sometimes 24 hrs twice a week not 2 days together. Best of both worlds! 😊.
@@teresawilliamson9377
1. Excellent information & advice! 👍
2. I am currently disciplining myself to keep a 24/7, 18/6 fasting regimen.
3. What a difference! 💪
WHEN YOU FAST DO YOU COUNT THE HOURS YOU SLEEP OR WHEN YOU UP .
@@sylvestercat8043
1. Yes, you begin counting the hours from the moment you put your fork down to the moment you pick it up again.
2. To reach the Fat-Adapted state, try to daily fast at least 16 hours.
3. If you stop eating at 8 pm, don’t eat again until noon the following day.
4. A daily 16/8 fast.
5. Essentially, skipping breakfast.
6. Once your body becomes accustomed to that fasting/feeding regularity, you can try extending your fast another two hours for an 18/6 fast/feed schedule.
7. Effective, optimal, fasting results are achieved between 16-72 hours.
8. Two principles:
9. Devise the schedule that works for YOU!
10. And ANY progress is better than NO progress!
11. I hope this helps! 👍
I try my best now that I’ve had to have a colostomy. It’s very hard to keep my good diet and exercise I had before this terrible surgical accident that caused me to get sepsis which later caused cessation of lower bowel and rectal peristalsis ceased, thus the colostomy. None of my drs seem to know what to tell me. My digestive system hasn’t yet recovered . I’ve never eaten red meat ~ very little chicken , some seafood ~ love beans and rice etc but can’t eat then due to risk of blockage which can be life threatening. I need some advice if possible . I eat no processed foods EVER .
Who is responsible for your surgical accident that led to this problem 🤔. That you having ?, you really need some .real medical advice. So sorry this is happening to you,!
Terima kasih videonya terbaik 👍
Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium electrolyte blood plasma level affect metabolic respiratory performance and should be monitored during fasting or after chemotherapy. .. low electrolyte levels and a return to high glucose levels can trigger "refeeding syndrome" that can trigger a heart attack. Calcium needs vitamin D3 and K2 to be absorbed.
You wouldn't even need chemotherapy or have cancer in the first place if you change your diet to Raw Vegetable Diet and Pure Water.
how come he did not address danger of medicine and wrong diagnosis.
Thank you so much for all your years of dedication and your generosity in sharing this excellent information.
It calls to mind the ongoing debate between scientific giants Louis Pasteur and Claude Bernard. Pasteur supposedly said “Bernard was right; the pathogen is nothing, the terrain is everything.” I’m happy to see lectures like this that are putting health back in healthcare. 🙏
To which "concerns" is the doctor an advisor. Please be specific.
Thanks,. Thanks,. This is rout to good health,. Blessings.
I was surprised and relieved to see the mention of cannabis within this study and presentation.
Smoking or eating?
Translation: eat a Whole food plant based diet.
Sure, but when they say “plant” they refer to industrial.
Explain.
@@planetvegan7843
Soy protein isolate, pea protein isolate, synthetic sugars, gluten isolate, polydextrose, soy lecithin, oils from most seeds, and a long list of other compounds classified as “Generally Recognized AsSafe” (gras) and injected to the food supply.
These compounds are the ones stamped with labels that pretend the contents are healthy. And these are the cheap, easily made produced products that will keep the economy moving in the favor of those who control the few multinational companies that control the market. Or the one Comp that owns all the others.
“Farmers” in the us are subsidized to grow the major crops that become the bulk of processed foods- the corn, soy, and wheat. They aren’t paid to grow fruit or vegetable.
So- when they say plant, they are talking industrial.
. mmmmmmmmmmm
Excellent. Thank you for posting.
Highly informative……thanks Doc. Shalom!
Now 2 yrs out from surgery and do 2 hours a day on the rower. Did find through genetic testing that Lynch syndrome accounts for my ovarian and colon c's. If you haven't heard of Lynch please google. It helps to be aware to watch. Original cancer was at age 37. Had no idea. Early is key to this battle. And nutrition is a major weapon. Med schools pay scant attention to nutrition. 50/50 chance that a child will have Lynch. Merry Christmas to all! Hope this info only helps.
Wish Dr Abrams used WFPB alongside of Vegan. Because you can be a junk food vegan who rarely consumes fruits or veggies. The WFPB is to me the healthiest way to eat. It's low in fats, high in complex carbs, fiber, high nutrients. I never heard of kale or an apple associated with any disease! That's all you hear when it comes to sugars and animal based foods and dairy. Good video and thank you Dr Abrams.
Very good advice over all. My oncologist never said anything about be active but I always was . . Im not sure that’s true about supplements interfering with treatments . That’s so doctors can make more money on continued treatments . I believe it created less side effects long term for me . I’m a 9 year survivor . I did chemo and radiation as well as internal radiation . My body didn’t like raw foods during my treatments.
dear dawn, you might like to read 'the longevity diet' by volter Longo. usc. he has studied the beneficial effects of fasting before & chemo. love & peace.
sorry, should read before & after chemo.
So true! I had hard time swallowing raw foods!!
@@johnsalvo.3938 - I couldn’t keep them down. Some raw food is good but I don’t believe all raw all the time is.
It is a fact they can interfere with treatments, especially vitA which has shown to increase lung cancer. Even some foods can interfere with treatments, medicines, particularly grapefruit, it can increase or lessen the potency of medicines and can cause a crisis when taking anti-Histamines for hay fever. I don't understand why people eat grapefruit! 🤔
I was surprised that Dr. Abrams did not seem aware of the growing evidence that coffee consumption has a direct relationship with the reduction of cancer risk for individuals with diseased livers aka cirrhosis. He spoke rather cursorily about coffee but it’s becoming an established finding in this regard.
Black coffee, or with minor spices, is indeed healthy. Just don't drink it too late in the day! ☕
@@mathieuguillet4036 actually tannin can be harmful a couple of drops of milk or soy milk will eliminate the tannin which can cause cancer
They NEVER differentiate between feed lot red meat (fed antibiotics, steroids, gmo corn, soy and grains) and healthy grass fed beef. Had to turn this video off seconds in before they talk about being vegan and living on high starch. See how well that worked out for Dr John McDougall.
that's highly informative. THANK you very much Doctor
W O W ! Eye opening facts -- thank you !
Interesting information. There is always new information and technologies emerging and on the horizon.
I was buying organic soybeans and making fresh soy milk and yogurt weekly. It caused my fibroids to flare up so badly that I had to stop soy. Within three months I didn't experience any more problems with fibroids. I'm sad because soy makes the best milk and yogurt. I'm 51 and my Dr. says I'm post menopausal. I often wonder if I can try soy again but I'm afraid to.
They eat alot of fish and move more in Norway, especially hiking and cross country skiing is popular. We are close neighbours but they are more healthy. 🇸🇪
Thank you dear
Very good information.
1. Thank you for this excellent, authoritative, useful information 👍
I think, people for whom organic whole crops, fish, fruit, and vegetables are not available need a recommendation on whether non-organic ones may serve as the next option compared to traditional non-whole food.
Yes
Good luck.....before all the petroleum fertilizer s and gmo crops....food was healthy and complete......the burden we deal with now......difficult
Yes. It is better. You don’t need recommendations just use your brain. Ignore the purists(elitists, perfectionists, snobs).
just eat the vegetables you have access to, organic or not. stop making it more difficult than it is. most studies on the benefits of vegetables/fruits do not use organic produce.
Check out Dr Michael Greger. He runs a non profit who looks at studies about treating diseases with food. He states that eating conventionally grown veggies are better than no veggies at all. I try to buy as much organic as I can but if impossible I stick with the dirty dozen list...
"What we eat -- and don’t eat -- is directly related to our health." Why is this scientific truth so diminished or even gaslighted by many healthcare professionals and scientists? It's such a basic, understandable concept.
"Cancer lover sugar. It doesn´t use oxygen for energy". Say what now? Since when do normal cells use oxygen for energy? They use oxygen to *efficiently break down glucose* for energy. Exactly like cancer cells. The whole ATP thing, remember?
And if you don´t eat sugar but other carbs instead they´ll use the glucose the carbs get broken down into. And if all you give your body is ketones there´s no reason to assume cancer cells can´t use those.
The reason you see that glucose go to the tumor in your scan is that cancer cells are very metabolically active and so require a lot of energy. They´re greedy for growth and whatever your energy source is they´ll take more of it than normal cells.
It's different for prostate cancer tumor cells which thrive in animal fats and not sugars...
cancer cells love sugar. facts.

I am on Keto and daily intermittent fasting and I have no problems with hunger or fatigue during the day leading up to my dinner. I feel mentally sharp, 90% of the pain from inflammation I had for years before Keto has gone away or is far far less noticeable. My wife loves the way my body looks even at 66 yrs old and I feel great. My blood sugar is normal 'now' and my blood pressure which has caused me to be on meds prior to Keto is now normal or on some occasions only slightly higher than normal. Much better than before. I have cheat days every once in awhile but have no problem going back to Keto right after. There is no perfect answer to living forever. I can only say my eating habit is under control, no urge to keep eating like I do when I am eating carbs, no brain fog, better memory. I see research that shows Keto is best to avoid or deal with dementia because when you have Alzheimers your brain slowly starves to death having lost its ability to feed on Carbs, but has no problem feeding on ketones. In fact, ketones are a better food for your brain. Yes there are some risks to the keto diet, no diet has no drawbacks. But for me I am healthier, sharper, stronger, pain free and feel great on keto. I exercise without pain and have the body and brain of a 30 year old.
Very well put.
There was some excellent information in this lecture, but the way he brushed off the ketogenic diet by simply saying “carbohydrates are the most important“, without any kind of explanation, showed how closed minded some “scientific“ figures can be.
I have also tried a ketogenic diet and found the same benefits as you mention; no brain fog, none of that gnawing “carbohydrate hunger“, tendinitis disappeared, as did dandruff and skin conditions, all of which are symptoms of general inflammation, brought on by a carbohydrate heavy diet.
It is not a question of fat versus carbs; it is about a balance. I am no longer in full ketosis, more of a Paleolithic diet, which is low on carbs and avoids all processed foods.
The devil is in the details. As the doctor mentions, there is a great distinction between processed carbs, such as bread, pasta, white rice etc. and complex carbohydrates, such as vegetables. This distinction should also be applied to grass fed butter and grass fed meat, which have completely different omega-3/omega-6 profiles from their industrially processed counterparts. All of the meat studies he refers to make no distinction between industrial and grass fed meat.
We demonize the food and drug lobbies for their role in the skyrocketing health crisis of chronic, inflammatory-based diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia etc.
These are well deserved reputations, but another piece of the puzzle that people are reluctant to admit to is our own willingness to accept what a “doctor“ tells us, without question.
Doctors are not gods, they make their own interpretation of whatever they have been told or have read, and many, including Dr. Abrams, are biased, and don’t want to hear any information that goes against their sacred cow.
It is up to us to take responsibility for our own health and do the research, to find out what the studies really say, who funded them and who stands to gain by whatever finding they arrive at.
Some people will say that they have better things to do, but if somebody told you you could have 10 more years of healthy life that would’ve otherwise been spent in a diseased state, wouldn’t that motivate you to do at least a little research? it is easier to do now than ever, with our access to the Internet.
Good luck and best of health to all!
thank you!!!!
I have been following these recommendations for almost 50 years...no cancer or health issues. I disagree with some things like using supplements. I take vitamin D3 and K2 along with an Omega 3 supplement everyday. I take a food based organic vitamin because I now there is no way I will ever eat all those various micronutrients. I also use herbs (organic) like milk thistle for example. No matter how well a person eats we always have free radicals that must be taken care of by our liver and other systems. I drive down the main road and always see lines of cars in every siingle fast food place. The people look "dead" to me. It is sad that this is what most kids are growing up eating. I am so glad my daughter does not eat this way and neither do my grandkids. It would be sad for me to see .
I lost my Mother, Step Mother, Father, Grandmother, Husband, and 2 best friends to cancer. Only my Father and Grandmother had extra weight. They told my Husband he was the healthiest Cancer Patient they had ever had. He grew up in Texas City Tx chemical refinery area and had stomach cancer. My Mother and step mother both had a good weight for women, both had brain tumors. Eat more crusiferious vegtables, dark leafy greens, and less meat, more beans. Stay away from chemicals. That is my opinion.
Physical appearance is a Terrible predictor of cancer. Hence blood work is required along with removing sugar from your diet. You can’t change genetics yet but you can do all the other things. Most won’t though. There’s folks who were faced with losing an arm or leg due to diabetes and they choose the food over their limb. To each their own.
What about innocent babies who have cancer? Cancer is a complex disease
All what doctor Abrams said is common sense. The problem with pre prepared foods is that there is so much junk added same as in personal care products. All is so contaminated with chemicals. What is happening to the FDA?. USA allows too much junk in our foods and products while same ingredients are banned in other countries. We must eat organic non gmo and be more conscious on what we eat or what we use in our bodies including cosmetics,soaps and personal care products. If we look at ingredients we will be surprised. I was looking at marshmallows ingredients to buy for my grandson and I found geoingeneering ingredients.
Wonderful presentation!
Thank you so much
I find this part quite conflicting.

When they say “plant based” they refer to industrial.
Sp chua- I remember when my son came home from his first “nutrition” lesson at school. The “my plate” thing that replaced the food pyramid I was taught.
(In the states)
He came home and asked why they serve them all fried food at lunch, when those things weren’t supposed to be on their plate.
The information is less important than the execution for many. They’ll choose to believe the “expert” and they will blind themselves to all contradictory info. The school said their lunch was healthy because fries are veggies and ketchup a fruit.
It’s quite conflicting.
“You’re insulin resistant, so we’re going to give you more insulin. And if that’s not enough, more insulin” derp.
I hope you keep seeing it and asking questions.

Just came from my yearly physical. High cholesterol and border line diabetic from hypoglycemia since I was 17. Nothing changed. Obesity is being glamorized on tv etc. not right. Doctor said I was doing everything right but wanted all these tests done. No thanks. He said no one one knows what causes cancer but tests catch it sooner. Heart attack being fat and stress. Stress will kill you faster than anything in my opinion. Organic and gluten free. Mom died of ovarian cancer. Sister and I got hysterectomy’s. Brest cancer %13 so I’m not worried. BRC 2. Turmeric for inflammation. 10 years organic. Mom lived on puddings and survived cancer for 7 years. Sick but 7 long years. Probably with food in care centers they can’t get nutritional food.

Ketogenic diet and fasting is a great avenue to research. There are great resources here for these approaches. Please consider as an option for your health.
@@zerocarbdoc Do you have some actual science that compares a keto diet to for example plant based? What I have read is keto causes a lot of issues also, like kidney stones and if the diet is full of saturated fats, it's not good for diabetes either (just masks it).
dear Cheryl, you may want to consider intermittent fasting (if). I reversed my t2 diabetes by becoming vegetarian & combining it with if. good luck, peace & love.
At 1:21:05, it's mentioned: "I often recommend a PRO-biotic as well as concentrating on PRE-biotic foods: sauerkraut, pickles, kimchi etc."
This is wrong. Just to clarify, sauerkraut & kimchi are actually PRO-biotic foods because they contain live cultures. PRE-biotics, on the other hand, refer to foods rich in fiber that feed beneficial gut bacteria.
Also regarding pickles: only those made through lacto-fermentation and not pasteurized contain live cultures and can be considered probiotic. However, most commercial pickles are pasteurized or made with vinegar, which means they don’t contain live cultures.
So you recommend eating fruit (weight gainer) and whole grains, which aren't weight loss foods. And what great benefit do these foods have for the human body? I just wonder.
Much better than processed junk. Eat real food.
Thank u
Congratulations on such a lucid explanation.Does one benefit from eating following the Circadian rthymh i.e. Sunrise to sunset?
Always look at the ingredient, source of food, how it's preserved. Cook from scratch. Eat food in its natural state not turned into a product.

I am wondering sir if when a very overweight person is always hot and uncomfortable is that usually because of inflammation?
Very interesting but I would like to see references to absolute risk levels. Also comparing other countries, you have to control for gene pool.
What about regenerative farming? Today we can get grass fed & grass finished meat that have the traditional omega 6 to omega 3 ratios. I would like to see a study comparing grass finished beef to grain/ soya etc finished beef…the same for eggs. Egg yolks are extremely healthy when pasture raised.
