Animal protein-rich diets could be as harmful to health as smoking

Last year, my husband and I met with a nutritionist who wrote the book,  Food and Cancer, What the Experts Say by Rick Weissinger. He also recommended no meat, dairy,and  processed food. We now eat seafood, beans, soy food, green tea, raw nuts, whole grains, fresh herbs and seasoning especially curry, turmeric, cinnamon and garlic, crucifer vegetables(broccoli and cauliflower etc), tomatoes and some fruits especially all types of berries and melons. Also having a glass of red wine is fine. It is worth it to us if it helps in any way. You can order the book on Amazon.

True. But the issue of animal protein and cancer growth is not simply one of correlation. I spent several years reviewing the laboratory data, animal studies, epidemiological evidence, and clinical trials in humans  (in addition to interviewing researchers from all over the world) before I came to this conclusion and wrote WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT FOOD AND CANCER. Animal protein is the ONLY macronutrient that increases IGF-1 levels significantly, and I suggest you read up on the influence of IGF-1 on cancer growth before you comment further. If you chose not to or don't believe me, go to http://www.nutritionfacts.org (Dr. Michael Grieger's website) and see his take on it. In the meantime, I would say that ANYONE that has a cancer that is made worse by growth factors like  IGF-1 should avoid animal protein entirely and get their protein from plant sources.
