The McGovern Report

The story behind the first U.S. dietary recommendations report explains why, to this day, the decades of science supporting a more plant-based diet have yet to fully translate into public policy.



Linaza y supervivencia al cáncer de mama: evidencia clínica

Un ensayo clínico aleatorizado, doble ciego y controlado con placebo sobre la linaza en pacientes con cáncer de mama descubrió que la linaza parece tener el potencial de reducir el crecimiento del tumor en tan solo cuestión de semanas.



Linaza y la prevención del cáncer de mama

Las mujeres jóvenes con alto riesgo de cáncer de mama que recibieron sólo una cucharadita de linaza molida al día mostraron un menor número de cambios precancerosos.



Fibra contra el cáncer de mama

La ingesta inadecuada de fibra parece ser un factor de riesgo para el cáncer de mama, lo cual explica por qué las mujeres con dietas a base de vegetales pueden tener un riesgo menor.



La linaza contra la diabetes

Una cucharada al día durante un mes de semillas de lino molidas, parece mejorar la glucemia en ayunas, los triglicéridos, el colesterol y los niveles de hemoglobina glucosilada en los diabéticos .



Semillas de lino contra el cáncer de próstata

¿Qué sucede cuando hombres con cáncer de próstata y neoplasia prostática intraepitelial (PIN) siguen una dieta relativamente baja en grasas suplementada con semillas de lino molidas?



Prunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet

The average number of bowel movements a week is compared between those eating prunes, those taking a fiber supplement, and those eating a strictly plant-based diet.



Treating Parkinson’s Disease with Diet

Plant-based diets in general, and certain plant foods in particular, may be used to successfully treat Parkinson’s disease—in part, by boosting L-DOPA levels.



Prevenir la enfermedad de Parkinson con la dieta

La existencia de bajos niveles de químicos neurotóxicos en el queso podría explicar la conexión entre el consumo de productos lácteos y la enfermedad de Parkinson.



Titanium Dioxide & Inflammatory Bowel Disease

People eating conventional diets may ingest a trillion microparticles of the food-whitening additive, titanium dioxide, every day. What implication might this have for inflammation in the gut?



Plant-Based Diets: Dental Health

Those eating more sour fruit may risk greater erosion of their tooth enamel (especially if teeth are brushed in a softened state), but there’s a simple solution.



Plant-Based Diets: Oral Health

Plant-based diets may help protect against oral cancer and periodontal (gum) disease, a leading cause of tooth loss.



Vapores de la carne: humo de segunda mano de la dieta

Los hidrocarburos aromáticos policíclicos en los vapores que se liberan durante la cocción de la carne podrían ser nocivos para el desarrollo del feto y aumentar el riesgo de cáncer.



Heterocyclic Amines in Eggs, Cheese, & Creatine?

Even vegetarians could potentially be exposed to the carcinogens typically formed by cooking meat through eggs, cheese, creatine sports supplements, and cigarette smoke.



Reducing Cancer Risk in Meat-Eaters

Those who eat meat risk food poisoning from undercooked meat, but also exposure to cooked meat carcinogens in well-cooked meat. By boiling meat, non-vegetarians can mediate their risk of both.



PhIP: The Three-Strikes Breast Carcinogen

The cooked meat carcinogen PhIP—found in fried bacon, fish, and chicken—may not only trigger cancer and promote tumor growth, but also increase its metastatic potential, by increasing its invasiveness.



Estrogenic Cooked-Meat Carcinogens

DNA-damaging chemicals, formed when meat is cooked, stimulate breast cancer cells almost as much as pure estrogen, and can infiltrate the ducts where most breast cancers arise.



Fibromyalgia vs. Mostly Raw & Mostly Vegetarian Diets

How plant-based does one’s diet need to be in order to effectively treat fibromyalgia?



Fibromyalgia vs. Vegetarian and Raw Vegan Diets

Plant-based diets may be effective for the treatment of fibromyalgia, a painful condition suffered by millions.



Metabolic Syndrome and Plant-Based Diets

Plant-based diets appear to protect against metabolic syndrome, also known as syndrome X, which is characterized by the so-called “deadly quartet”—abdominal obesity, high fasting sugars, high triglycerides, and high blood pressure.



Potassium and Autoimmune Disease

Plant-based diets appear to decrease inflammation via a variety of mechanisms—including boosting our adrenal gland function, due to the consumption of potassium rich foods.



Nonhuman Molecules Lining our Arteries

The foreign meat molecule Neu5Gc builds up in human tumors and atherosclerotic plaques, and may play an inflammatory role in the progression of both diseases.



How Tumors Use Meat to Grow: Xeno-Autoantibodies

Cancer may use a molecule found in animal products to trick our immune system into feeding it with inflammation.



La molécula inflamatoria de la carne Neu5Gc

Las dietas basadas en plantas pueden ayudar con la artritis reumatoide al disminuir la exposición a un compuesto inflamatorio que se encuentra en los productos de origen animal.



Clonal Deletion Theory of Immunity

Plant-based diets may be protective against multiple sclerosis because IGF-1 can prevent our immune system from eliminating autoimmune cells.



Protein and Heart Disease

Why is the intake of animal protein associated with heart disease—even independent of saturated fat—and the intake of plant protein protective?



Lowering Dietary Antibiotic Intake

What a few days eating vegetarian can do to the levels of antibiotics and phthalates flowing through one’s body.



Eating Green to Prevent Cancer

Chlorophyll, the most ubiquitous plant pigment in the world, may protect our DNA against mutation by intercepting carcinogens.



Las lecciones del Paleolítico

Se presenta un argumento evolutivo de una dieta a base de vegetales en comparación con las dietas ”paleo” de moda.



Plant-Based Bodybuilding

Lower levels of the cancer-promoting growth hormone IGF-1 in those eating vegan is not expected to affect their accumulation of muscle mass.



Too Much Soy May Neutralize Benefits

Vegans consuming 7 to 18 servings of soy foods a day may end up with circulating IGF-1 levels comparable to those who eat meat.



Animalistic Plant Proteins

While animal proteins increase levels of the cancer-promoting growth hormone IGF-1, and most plant proteins bring levels down, “high quality” plant proteins, such as soy, may not significantly affect levels in either direction. This, however, may depend on the quantity consumed.



Protein Intake and IGF-1 Production

Animal protein consumption triggers the release of the cancer-promoting growth hormone IGF-1.



How Plant-Based to Lower IGF-1?

Those eating vegan had significantly lower IGF-1 levels and higher IGF-binding proteins than those just eating vegetarian, suggesting that the more plant-based one’s diet becomes, the lower one’s risk of fueling growth hormone-dependent cancer growth.



Prostate vs. a Plant-Based Diet

Eating a plant-based diet may protect against BPH (benign prostatic hypertrophy, an enlarged prostate).



Is It the Diet, the Exercise, or Both?

Whose blood is better at killing cancer cells? People who eat a standard diet and exercise strenuously, or those who eat a plant-based diet and just exercise moderately?



Ex Vivo Cancer Proliferation Bioassay

Two weeks on a plant-based diet appears to significantly enhance cancer defenses against breast cancer and colon cancer cells. The blood of those eating a vegan diet for a year suppresses cancer cell growth nearly eight times better.



Engineering a Cure

Lifestyle medicine pioneer Nathan Pritikin, who reversed his own heart disease through diet and went on to help millions of others, wasn’t a doctor or dietician, but an engineer.



Slimming the Gecko

A workplace dietary intervention study at GEICO corporate headquarters demonstrates the power of plant-based eating.



Diet Pills Do Fat a Lot of Good

Common slimming supplements are found to be ineffective, whereas a diet centered on whole plant foods is described as perhaps the safest approach to weight control.
