Preventing Breast Cancer with a plant-based diet.

Scientists, researchers and medical doctors had long acknowledged and commended the tremendous medicinal properties of plants. An overwhelming majority of drugs which cure virtually every illness in the world are manufactured from plants. The reason why manufactured drugs more often trigger noxious side effects is that, synthetic chemicals are usually added to their plant components. If drugs were be to taken directly and naturally as plants, then they would never produce any side effects. Plants are the friendliest products to our system.

Meat-eaters are more prone to cancer than vegetarians. For over two decades, scientific investigations continually reveal a very strong connection between meat consumption and cancer of the breast, colon, uterus, etc. For instance, a study conducted on seven days Adventists in Massachusetts divulged that vegetarians are much less susceptible to cancer than their meat-eating counterparts. The vegetarian diet is abundant in fibre, fruits, vegetables and legumes, which serve as natural inhibitors for the propagation of cancer cells in the body. The famous scientist, Rollo Russell, submitted a report titled: The causation of cancer; in which he noted: I have found of twenty-five nations eating flesh largely, nineteen had a high cancer rate and only one had a low rate, and that of thirty-five nations eating little or no flesh, none had a high rate.

In its position statement, the American Dietetic Association states:

Well-planned vegan and other types of vegetarian diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including during pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence. Vegetarian diets offer a number of nutritional benefits, including lower levels of saturated fat, cholesterol, and animal protein as well as higher levels of carbohydrates, fibre, magnesium, potassium, folate, and antioxidants such as vitamins C and E and phytochemicals. Vegetarians have been reported to have lower body mass indices than non-vegetarians, as well as lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease; vegetarians also show lower blood cholesterol levels; lower blood pressure; and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer.

Meticulous investigation conducted at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and the Max Plank Institute in Germany unanimously confirmed that the consumption of a variety of vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains meets the body’s protein and vitamin requirements, including iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin D, ribo flavin, vitamin B₁₂, vitamin A, n-3, fatty acids and iodine.

Breast cancer mainly arises if there is an abnormality in the reproduction of new cells to replace old cells in the breast. The reproduction of new cells in the breast depends on two critical factors. These comprise the successful replication of the DNA and mitosis (the division of mother cells to form daughter cells). If these processes go wrong along the way, there is a high probability of a woman developing breast cancer. Compounds from fruits and vegetables stand guard over this process and assure successful completion (Frontiers in Bioscience, January, 2008). The American Association for Cancer Research found that beyond the reduced risk for overall cancer, vegetarian and vegan diets significantly reduced the risk of gastrointestinal cancers (stomach, colon, pancreas, etc.) and female-specific cancers (breast, uterine, ovarian, etc.). The following are some of the most important compounds in plants, which offer protection from breast cancer. 

 Breast Cancer Prevention

Women who adopt proven and effective breast cancer preventive measures are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer. In contrast, women who fail to adopt breast cancer preventive measures are at a higher risk of being diagnosed with the disease. This book presents excellent breast cancer preventive measures, as approved by the most trusted breast cancer research institutions around the world. Considering the enormous complications associated with remedying breast cancer, all experts are unanimous on the truth that when it comes to breast cancer treatment, prevention is the best cure.
