Vegetarian Star

Kathy Freston has shared some research on how a vegan diet may prevent and increase one’s odds of recovering from cancer at the Huffington Post.

Citing several studies discussing rates of cancer among plant-based eaters vs. omnivores and factors involved in cancer growths, Freston concludes that, “We aren’t helpless at all; in fact, the power is largely in our hands. It’s on our forks, actually.”

“It’s actually our whole Western lifestyle. It’s one of the reasons half of us have cancer. Because our Western lifestyle is so acidic–the food we eat causes the acid. The meats, the processed foods–our bodies are made for whole foods. The sun goes in the plant, the plant [in] us, we live. That’s how it works. And it’s really taxing us and that’s why we’re seeing this epidemic of cancer.”

Aldo Zilli‘s wife Nikki says the death of her father prompted Aldo to change his diet.

Aldo not only changed his habits at home, but his services to others as well, relaunching one of his signature restaurants as an all vegetarian one, Zilli Green.

“Dad was very active and at more than 6ft tall he wasn’t overweight for his height,” Nikki Zilli said in the Daily Mail. “But he really liked his food and, looking back, he ate a lot of red meat, pasta and bread and not enough oily fish, fruit and vegetables. We know now how important diet is in reducing the risk of bowel cancer.”

Research has already shown that a diet high in red meat could result in you more likely to develop cancer. And according to the Cancer Project, one study published in the journal of Cancer Research found subjects who ate red meat had higher levels of compounds that damage DNA, which is why cancer develops in the first place.

When the subjects were placed on a red meat, red meat with high fiber or a vegetarian diet for just 15 days, the red meat dieters had the greatest levels of N-nitrosocompounds, which damage DNA.

The red meat with fiber dieters had lower levels of N-nitrosocompounds and the vegetarians had the lowest.

It’s thought that the fiber found in fruits and vegetables provides extra protection against cancer.
