The more produce that you eat, the more that you are doing to protect your thyroid from cancer. For years now, doctors like John McDougall, Neal Barnard, T. Collin Campbell, Caldwell Esselstyn, Dean Ornish, Joel Fuhrman and others have taught us about the dangers of eating chicken, fish, beef, pork and all dairy products. Study after study repeatedly show that animal proteins increase risk of several cancers as well as diabetes, heart disease and obesity. The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM) have led very public educational campaigns such as Hot Dogs Cause Butt Cancer. If you are someone who just doesn’t like vegetables but you are concerned about improving your health, discover what self hypnosis can do for you. Learn hypnosis and realize that you are loving your veggies and are becoming plant-strong!

Protect Thyroid With Produce

Highest Veg Consumption Linked to 20% Lower Cancer Risk

Dole Nutritional News March 30, 2012: Another reason to load up on veggies: lower risk of thyroid cancer. 60,000 new cases of this deadly disease are diagnosed annually — while a whopping 25 million Americans suffer from various thyroid disorders. Seated right above the collarbone, your thyroid plays a major role in regulating growth, metabolism and reproduction.

Proper thyroid function depends greatly on iodine — deficiency during pregnancy being the most common cause of childhood mental retardation globally. While most Americans get more than enough iodine (thanks to WAY too much iodized salt) we consume far too few vegetables. When Italian researchers looked at two decades of scientific literature, searching for how dietary patterns impact thyroid cancer risk, they found that people with the highest veggie consumption were 20% less likely to develop this particular cancer.

Hot Dogs Cause Butt Cancer

March 20. 2012, Dr. Neal Barnard: Here are the facts: Colorectal cancer is one of the leading cancers in the United States, attacking 140,000 Americans every year, with a mortality rate close to 50 percent. In 2007, the body of research on this disease, including nearly 60 independent studies, was deemed to provide convincing evidence—the highest possible level of scientific evidence—that hot dogs and other processed meats cause colorectal cancer. Americans eat 20 billion hot dogs a year, as well as significant amounts of bacon, cold cuts, and other processed meats.

Processed meats are a deadly habit. Each daily serving of hot dogs, bacon, cold cuts, and other processed meats increases the risk of dying prematurely by 20 percent, according to a new study from the Harvard School of Public Health. The study emphasized the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Adults have a right to take risks with their own health. But hot dogs and other processed meats are often fed to children, starting a lifelong habit that puts them at serious risk. It’s time to get serious about health and steer clear of unhealthful foods.

Read Hot Dogs Cause Butt Cancer

As a kid, one of my favorite school lunches was 2 cold hot dogs with Velveeta Cheese between 2 slices of white bread. (Ew. Seriously, that is so gross!) back in the 50′s and ’60′s, we didn’t know any better. Today we do. According to the American Institute for Cancer Research, just one 50-gram serving of processed meat (about the amount in one hot dog) consumed daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer, on average, by 21 percent.

Discover how you can make the transition from processed meat and other unhealthy, fattening food to plant-based meals with Slender For Life™ . It’s time to get serious about your health . Eat plant-strong!

Mom’s Yogurt Puts Baby at Risk for Asthma

Pregnant women who eat yogurt may put their future children at risk of developing asthma, according to recent research in Denmark. Consuming low-fat yogurt while pregnant is directly linked to the development of childhood asthma and hay fever, and full-fat yogurt is associated with adolescent hay fever. Consuming low-fat yogurt was associated with a 60 percent increase in asthma and an 80 percent increase in hay fever, compared with zero consumption of low-fat yogurt. The 61,912 women who completed the food questionnaire were part of the Danish National Birth Cohort.

Chicken: NOT a Health Food

I found Occupy Your Diet: A Discussion About Food, Health and Kindness With Dr. Neal Barnard, by Michael Tobias, to be a well written and informative interview. Neal Barnard, MD, is the president of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM). As you may know, I firmly believe that we should use food as our medicine and that our medicine should be our food. Much of our runaway healthcare costs today could be avoided with a healthy plant-based diet and exercise. Sadly, most people try to make lifestyle changes with willpower – which is a short burst of energy that is all too quickly used up. Self-hypnosis is proven to be an effective way to make lasting lifestyle changes. It only makes sense that you learn hypnosis and to improve your health.

Occupy Your Diet: A Discussion About Food, Health and Kindness With
Dr. Neal Barnard

Forbes, November 9, 2011, by Michael Tobias:

MT = Michael Tobias
NB = Neal Barnard

MT: Dr. Barnard, if you were asked (as I am now re-asking) to place one food item at the top of the list which, in your opinion, you would recommend be banned as a massively-consumed food item, what might it be?

NB: I would perhaps put chicken at the top of the list. Americans now eat one million chickens per hour, around nine billion every year.

MT: Why so many chickens?

NB: Because we imagine it to be some kind of health food.

MT: Is it, in your opinion?

NB: Well, collectively we are in the worst physical shape we’ve ever been in.

MT: On what basis?

NB: Our obesity rates have never been higher, and cholesterol-lowering drugs have never been so popular. In a word, we are a mess.

MT: And you are suggesting, opining – that chicken is doing what?

NB: As a doctor I am not alone in being of the belief – call it opinion, if you care to – that the intake of chicken is one – among many – drivers of the continuing increase in meat intake, that, in turn, carries its load of fat and cholesterol. These do take their toll. The problem with chicken is that it is wrongly promoted as a healthful choice, so people now eat more of it than ever.

I have to agree with Dr. Barnard when he says that “our government is subsidizing the very foods that fuel heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.” As a nation, we need to vote with our wallets and stop buying the food that makes us and our children sick. If you have never used self-hypnosis, why not learn hypnosis and change your life. As Hippocrates said, “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”

I’ve said for years that foods like cupcakes are as addictive as cocaine and there is now a growing body of scientific research to back up this statement. In his book Breaking the Food Seduction, Neal Barnard, MD, president of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine (PCRM) writes about the addictive qualities of foods and how they stimulate the same opiate receptors as heroine. Using self-hypnosis, you can end the physical, mental and emotional addiction for fats and sugars and create a healthy craving for vegetables, whole grains and fruit. Learn hypnosis and overcome your addiction.

Fatty Foods Addictive as Cocaine in Growing Body of Science

Bloomberg, November 1, 2011: A growing body of medical research at leading universities and government laboratories suggests that processed foods and sugary drinks made by the likes of PepsiCo Inc. and Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT) aren’t simply unhealthy. They can hijack the brain in ways that resemble addictions to cocaine, nicotine and other drugs.

“The data is so overwhelming the field has to accept it,” said Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. “We are finding tremendous overlap between drugs in the brain and food in the brain.”

No one disputes that obesity is a fast growing global problem. In the U.S., a third of adults and 17 percent of teens and children are obese, and those numbers are increasing. Across the globe, from Latin America, to Europe to Pacific Island nations, obesity rates are also climbing.

The cost to society is enormous. A 2009 study of 900,000 people, published in The Lancet, found that moderate obesity reduces life expectancy by two to four years, while severe obesity shortens life expectancy by as much as 10 years. Obesity has been shown to boost the risk of heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea and stroke, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The costs of treating illness associated with obesity were estimated at $147 billion in 2008, according to a 2009 study in Health Affairs.

Sugars and fats, of course, have always been present in the human diet and our bodies are programmed to crave them. What has changed is modern processing that creates food with concentrated levels of sugars, unhealthy fats and refined flour, without redeeming levels of fiber or nutrients, obesity experts said. Consumption of large quantities of those processed foods may be changing the way the brain is wired.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Linked to
Prostate Cancer Risk

Researchers from Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center looked at 3,461 participants in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial and found that men with the most DHA in their bloodstreams were two-and-a-half times more likely to have an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Similar results were found in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study, where men who had the highest omega-3 levels had the highest risk for prostate cancer.

Fish oil is starting to look a lot like snake oil. The new findings linking higher DHA levels to cancer add yet another reason to skip fish and fish oil supplements. The more that I research, the more convinced that I become that vegetables, whole grains and fruit are the way to go. Living on plant-based food really is quite easy and using hypnosis makes it even easier.
