    I used to work in a cancer research department at a hospital and I'd eat deli turkey and cottage cheese almost every day for lunch. As I ate, doctors would walk in and comment on how healthy my lunches always were. It wasn't sarcasm, they were genuinely impressed. No one, including me, knew anything about the dietary causes of the diseases we were trying to cure. It's one of my biggest regrets, although if I knew then what I know now, I'd have become a department pariah. They couldn't even handle hearing that B-cells might be affecting the _in_ _vivo_ results of their T-cell experiments. It was major taboo.

    My experience confirms Dr. Greger's statement about doctors not giving dietary advice to cancer patients. A colonoscopy revealed a cancerous polyp which had fortunately not spread outside of the excised polyp, so I did not require further treatment beyond having follow-up colonoscopies every two years. While researching the disease, I discovered Dr. Greger and other proponents of eating a whole food plant-based diet, which I promptly adopted. As Dr. Greger says, a cancer diagnosis is a teachable moment. When I told the nurse practitioner, who met with me to discuss the results of a follow-up colonoscopy, about my diet change, she expressed skepticism. She thinks genetics make more of a difference than diet. My family doctor is also not enthusiastic about my decision to change my diet. However, their lack of interest has not deterred me from this dietary path, mainly because my overall health is so much better now.

      Whole food plant diet is the way to go to prevent cancers. I've heard of colon polyps disappearing with a plant diet. Check out Dr Joel Fuhrman and his nutritarian GBOMB diet. Fuhrman says long term studies all show cancer is only about 6 to 10% genetic, and the rest is diet and lifestyle. I can't believe your family does not fully support your new healthy diet. A plant diet also reduces heart disease and stroke risk to almost zero.

    I don’t eat all that processed meat but I wonder what makes all that stuff cancer promoting. It can’t be the nitrites because the same thing is said about nitrite free meat. It’s not the sodium because very low salt deli meat is available and the same negative things are said for that too. So, what makes this stuff so toxic? What do I say when asked about it? Nobody ever explains the “why” of the negativity.

    ...And yet we have YT "doctors" claiming the opposite. That all studies are flawed, except the one claiming nitrates/ nitrites are fine, and we should all be "enjoying our bacon". This is why we need to either review the data ourselves, or find a Doctor with integrity and nothing to sell who can put these studies into layman's terms without being compromised in some way, and not reaching beyond the data, making claims that are not supported.

      @@annoyingbutmorallyconsistent the problem with only fueling with Carbs is that over time our metobolic system gets worn down by the non stop secretion of insulin. It’s apparent that long term carb use makes us ill. It’s also apparent that carbs mixed with high fat intake (SAD) also weakens the metabolic health in humans. It’s understandable that the energy needs can come from either source but not at the same time. Personally I see fat as the healthier option because it’s usually mixed with high quality protein. Occasions demand we use carbs but endless carb loads are certainly killing our species.
