Can Nutrition Really Help Prevent Cancer And Support Healing?
Shocking: Multiple Studies Show That The #1 Factor In Preventing Cancer And The Secret to Successfully Supporting Cancer Treatments Is NUTRITION
Mounting research shows that 90% of cancers may be preventable since they are the result of lifestyle factors like nutrition, stress, and environment.
The research is mind-blowing! We’re not talking about small numbers. If there was a way to legally lower your taxes or increase your tax return by 30%, you would be crazy not to take it. If there was a simple way to increase your income by 25%, who would say yes? These are the type of numbers that researchers have documented when it comes to cancer prevention.
One study from Loma Linda University, that looked at lifestyle factors such as diet found that subjects lowered incidence rates specifically for the following cancers:
Breast 30% lower
Rectal 50% lower
Lung 30% lower

According to research published by the American Association of Pharmaceutical Science “Diet” is a bigger cause for cancer than smoking:
“The evidence indicates that of all cancer-related deaths, almost 25–30% are due to tobacco, as many as 30–35% are linked to diet, about 15–20% are due to infections, and the remaining percentage are due to other factors like radiation, stress, physical activity, environmental pollutants etc
4 Ways The Standard American Diet Triggers Cancer
Chronic Inflammation
Chronic inflammation has a huge role in cancer development. As many as one in five cancers are believed to be caused or influenced by inflammation.
“One reason is that chronic inflammation may damage DNA, says Cynthia Lynch, MD, Medical Director of the CTCA® Breast Cancer Center, Phoenix and Medical Oncologist at our Phoenix hospital.”
Other times, the inflammatory process produces molecules called cytokines, which stimulate the growth of blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to the tumor. The process also may
Hormone Imbalance
You may know insulin as the hormone related to diabetes, but recent research is also showing a link between insulin and cancer. Diets high in refined and processed carbohydrates can increase insulin levels, leading to insulin resistance and consistently high insulin levels.
Since insulin increases cell production and reduces cell death, it means chances for something to go wrong and cancer to develop are suddenly much higher.
Long-term increased insulin raises your risk for breast, prostate and colorectal cancers. There are really good studies that show that changing your lifestyle habits, including eating well, staying active and maintaining a healthy weight, really decreases that risk for those three cancers.

Compromised Immunity
It is the immune system’s job to deal with damaged cells before they become cancerous and form tumors. When the immune system is compromised the likelihood of it missing a damaged “pre-cancerous” cell may increase.
In healthy humans, the immune system recognizes heavily mutated or cancerous cells and attacks them before they can proliferate. However, in cancer patients, the immune system response’s fails in dealing with these dangerous cells.
This failure could be due to the fact that the T-cell was unable to distinguish between a normal cell and the cancer cell or, after making the distinction, was unable to kill the immune cell.
Poor diet weakens the immune system and leave the body defenseless. Eating large quantities of “Empty Calories” such as highly processed foods leave the body without important nutrients needed to maintain a robust immune system.
Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress can occur when there is an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in the body. The body’s cells produce free radicals during normal metabolic processes. However, cells also produce antioxidants that neutralize these free radicals.
In general, the body can maintain a balance between antioxidants and free radicals. Unfortunately, a diet low in antioxidant-rich foods and heavy oxidative stress promoting foods can tilt the body out of balance.
A large body of scientific evidence suggests that long-term oxidative stress contributes to the development in a range of chronic conditions, including cancer.
