Per Capita Daily meat consumption (grams) one cup of peas. A cup of just about any variety of bean would provide significantly more than ten grams of fiber.
From all this research, it seems clear that something can be said for the importance of diet in colorectal cancer. But what exactly stops colon and rectal cancer? Is it fiber? Is it fruits and vegetables? |

"The results linking hot dogs and brain tumors (replicating an earlier study) and the apparent synergism between no vitamins and meat consumption suggest a possible adverse effect of dietary nitrites and nitrosamines.(20)
Peters, et al. studied the relationship between the intake of certain foods and the risk of leukemia in children from birth to age 10 in Los Angeles County between 1980 and 1987. The researchers found that children who ate 12 or more hot dogs per month had approximately nine times the normal risk for developing childhood leukemia. | | Cured and broiled meat consumption in relation to childhood cancer."

In response to this petition, the FDA had absolutely nothing to say. No discussion, no new labeling requirement, not even a public hearing. The issue was simply swept under the rug.
Those who know how the FDA operates are not at all surprised by this action. | | The average American gets more than enough protein, so for most of us it can only help to cut down on our meat consumption.

Dr. James Balch, author of the A to Z Guide To Supplements, supports the same line of thinking:
The average American diet of meats, refined grains, and soft drinks (which are high in phosphorus) leads to increased excretion of calcium. Consuming alcoholic beverages, coffee, junk foods, excess salt, and/or white flour also leads to the loss of calcium by the body

See book keywords and concepts | | John Cairns entitled "The Cancer Problem," the author points out that there is a nearly linear relationship between annual incidence of cancer in a population and the meat consumption of that population.8 As the meat consumption increases, the incidence, particularly of intestinal cancer, also increases.* This suggests strongly that the high complex carbohydrate, high fiber diet is preferable because it reduces meat consumption and increases vegetable protein.

See book keywords and concepts |  But despite increased meat consumption compared to the traditional Okinawan diet, the elders still consume only about a quarter of the meat we do in America. Because meat was eaten mostly on religious occasions before World War II, the Okinawan elders have consumed very little meat over the course of their lives and still get the bulk of their protein from vegetable sources.26 Increased meat consumption is much more widespread among the younger generations, and this CD heavyweight is now contributing to the epidemic of obesity among Okinawan youth. |

Similarly, 22.6 percent have given up dairy products. I think dairy products offer great nutrition for baby cows, but terrible nutrition for humans, adult or child. Dairy products, in my view, account for a huge number of cases of asthma, constipation, sinus congestion, acne, weight gain and heart disease, not to mention type-1 diabetes. Thus the reduction of consumption of cow's milk is, in my view, a very important achievement for the health of our readers. |

See article keywords and concepts |  In short, if you avoid red meat you will also be doing yourself a huge favor in terms of avoiding environmental toxins. Red meat consumption also promotes colon cancer.
I recall a recent study that showed fire retardant chemicals in massive quantities are now being found in the animal fats in red meat. That's because these fire retardant chemicals tend to collect in the fat tissues. These chemicals are found throughout our environment now. Cows are essentially accumulators and concentrators of environmental toxins. They eat tons of grass, literally, throughout their lives. |
Kelly Harford, M.C., C.N.C.
See book keywords and concepts |  What it does indicate is that the average American could definitely benefit by cutting down on his meat consumption. Once again, the theme of having a wide variety comes into play. Diversify your protein intake by incorporating as many different kinds of protein into your diet on a rotational basis, while forgoing those that are not in agreement with your system.

There is a direct connection between meat consumption and atherosclerotic diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes—a correlation that is especially strong with heavy meats such as beef and pork. Part of the problem is that they not only contain high levels of saturated fats, but also high concentrations of iron. Some vegetables, such as broccoli have iron levels as high as beef, but the iron in plants is poorly absorbed (less than 5 percent), whereas the iron from beef is highly absorbed (about 60 percent). This is because plants contain iron-binding flavonoids. | | As if the problems with atherosclerosis weren't bad enough, meat consumption has also been linked to cancer. One of the most common diseases of cattle is cancer, primarily lymphoma and leukemia.361 Studies have proven these two forms of cancer are caused by viruses—in both animals and humans. According to USDA rules, slaughterhouses can use meat from cancer-afflicted cattle as long as the tumors are thrown away. The problem with this practice is that the cancer-causing virus is disseminated throughout the animal. |

While studies have linked red meat consumption to heart disease and cancer, it is important to point out that most studies do not separate out quality, focusing instead only on the amount of meat consumed. While overcon-sumption of meat, especially high-fat, char-broiled, or well-done cuts, is not healthful, lean cuts of organic, grass-fed beef, eaten in moderation, are an excellent source of many nutrients (see section above about types of feed). Lean beef is an excellent source of protein, providing 64.1 percent of the daily value for protein in just 4 ounces. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It also requires giving up animal fats, which means avoiding all meat consumption other than very lean meat such as buffalo, ostrich or turkey. Beef is out of the question as far as I'm concerned. There are a hundred reasons why I won't eat beef, and cholesterol is just one of them.
Animal fat, you see, blocks the body's absorption of crucial phytosterols—plant medicines that protect the cardiovascular system from oxidative damage and other threats. Phytosterols, which are found only in plants of course, are an important part of any healthy diet. |

High phosphorus content combines with high meat consumption to spell disaster
As the statement above describes, most Americans' diets are too high in phosphorus to begin with. If you add diet soft drinks, your phosphorus consumption skyrockets. This only accelerates the loss of calcium from bones and the subsequent bone disorders that naturally result.
...one of the leading contributors to osteoporosis in the U.S. is carbonated soft drinks containing phosphorus. Research has shown a direct link between too much phosphorus and calcium loss. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Vegetarian diets help prevent or treat strokes, osteoporosis, kidney stones, cancers, diabetes, hypoglycemia, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcers, obesity, hernias, gallstones, high blood pressure, asthma, and many other diseases (countries with more meat consumption have more of those diseases). meat consumption is now being linked to many negative "symptoms" of aging, including senility and Alzheimer's. And vegetarians do live longer: The greater the meat consumption, the greater the death rate from all causes combined. |

Q Eliminate from the diet alcoholic beverages, coffee, and all teas except for caffeine-free herbal teas. A study conducted at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle suggested that drinking one glass of red wine per day may reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 50 percent. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Intakes of fish [299, 300] and monounsaturated fatty acids [301] have been identified as being protective. However, the data to support relationships between risk and intakes of these fat subtypes are still limited, and replication in additional populations is needed.
Since 1987, 14 observational studies (two cohort and 12 case-control studies) have examined the relationships between intakes of antioxidant micronutrients, selected food sources, and risk for ovarian cancer. |

See book keywords and concepts |  These associations do not yet constitute proof that eating hot dogs or hamburgers causes cancer in children, and evidence linking cured meat consumption to childhood cancers remains somewhat inconsistent.31
In the report studying the effects of eating hot dogs and hamburgers, the association between meat eating and leukemia was weakest among children who took vitamin supplements (page 559). Processed meats, such as hot dogs, contain nitrates and nitrites—precursors to carcinogens. Antioxidants (page 467) found in multivitamins keep nitrates and nitrites from converting into those carcinogens. | | Therefore, at least in theory, alpha-linolenic may merely be a marker for meat consumption. When researchers have adjusted for the intake of meat or saturated fat, however, a correlation between alpha-linolenic acid and prostate cancer risk has remained.25' 26 On the other hand, in a preliminary study of men with prostate cancer, supplementation with 30 grams of ground flaxseed per day for approximately one month appeared to decrease the rate of tumor growth.27
How alpha-linolenic acid might increase the risk of prostate cancer remains unclear. |

See book keywords and concepts | | In addition, the number of Eubacterium spp., Bifidobacterium spp., and Lactobacillus spp. was much lower following a high-meat diet compared to a meat-free diet [81]. A high intake of cruciferous vegetables has also been shown to cause a major shift in the intestinal microflora composition, as compared to the intestinal microflora profile of subjects maintained on a fruit- and vegetable-free diet [82].

According to our observations, dairy products prevent the cleansing of residues of meat consumption from earlier in one's life. In order to discharge these residues, one must stay completely free of dairy for a minimum of six months — some health practitioners estimate several times this long. |

While many Americans have chosen not to eat meat, some even foregoing all animal products, overall meat consumption per capita is up since 1971. |

It is also important to remember that saturated fat intake has a much stronger influence on increasing serum cholesterol than does dietary cholesterol intake.

One complete protein source a day is enough. Scientists once believed that some complete protein was needed at each meal. |
John Robbins
See book keywords and concepts |  In 1995, this same group published a stunning analysis of the health costs from tobacco and meat consumption in the peer-reviewed journal Preventive Medicine. Their conclusion? "The combined medical costs attributable to smoking and meat consumption exceed the predicted costs of providing health coverage for all currently uninsured Americans." Not surprisingly, an AMA spokesperson said he had "very serious reservations" about the report.69
Over the years, other physicians' organizations have also come forth to speak as the conscience of American medicine. |

See book keywords and concepts | | The distinguishing characteristic of their diets, aside from high meat consumption, was an extremely high intake of fermented milk (or yogurt)—up to 5 liters daily. Research has now confirmed that yogurt is beneficial to those trying to reduce cholesterol. The probiotics in yogurt reduce the bile acids, which in turn decrease the absorption of cholesterol from the gastrointestinal tract. This effect seems to be seen most reliably in people who already have elevated cholesterol. |
Bruce Fife and Jon J. Kabara
See book keywords and concepts |  This is why when people suddenly cut down on meat consumption or become vegetarians they often complain of a lack of energy. This is also one of the reasons high protein diets promote weight loss—the increase in metabolism burns off more calories.
One food that can rev up your metabolism even more than protein is coconut oil. MCFA shift the body's metabolism into a higher gear, so to speak, so that you burn more calories. This happens every time you eat MCFA. Because MCFA increase the metabolic rate, they are dietary fats that can actually promote weight loss! |
