It is, and it does? I thought you could eat as much fat and protein as you desired, but that vegetables and fruit were restricted? maybe you should do some research instead of just making assumptions. I'm asking, even though I saw an in-depth documentary all about it. What was it called and who produced it? Horizon: The Atkins Diet was broadcast on Thursday January 22nd at 2100 GMT on BBC Two. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/3416637.stm Why don't you answer my questions in a civil manner instead of just making assumptions?

"What we found is if a person has a higher intake of animal protein, they will have a higher risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma," Zheng tells Web. "And people who have a higher intake of saturated fat have an increased risk. On the other hand, if you have higher-than-average intake of dietary fiber -- particularly if you frequently eat vegetables and fruits with a high fiber content -- you have a reduced risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma." How about those who eat a lot of vegetables (3-4 lbs per day) and a lot of meat also. What are the findings regarding those people? "What we found is if a person has a higher intake of animal protein, they will have a higher risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma," But a correlation does not imply causation. "When does correlation imply causation?" The short answer is: When the data from which the correlation was computed were obtained by experimental means with appropriate care to avoid confounding and other threats to the internal validity of the experiment." http://core.ecu.edu/psyc/wuenschk/St...-Causation.htm A high-fat diet may indeed be linked to higher body weight. But Zheng says that people eating low-carb diets may also be at risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma if they eat too much meat and too few vegetables. merely a speculation at this point with no basis. Your basis is this and other studies. correlation is not causation, that's why I said that making suggestions on the basis of correlation is not proper. "When does correlation imply causation?" The short answer is: When the data from which the correlation was computed were obtained by experimental means with appropriate care to avoid confounding and other threats to the internal validity of the experiment." http://core.ecu.edu/psyc/wuenschk/St...-Causation.htm '.. It comes from a study of 601 Connecticut women with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Tongzhang Zheng, ScD, head of the division of environmental health sciences at the Yale School of Public Health in New Haven, Conn., collected detailed dietary information from these women and from 717 similar women without cancer. "What we found is if a person has a higher intake of animal protein, they will have a higher risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, " Zheng tells Web. "And people who have a higher intake of saturated fat have an increased risk. On the other hand, if you have higher-than-average intake of dietary fiber -- particularly if you frequently eat vegetables and fruits with a high fiber content -- you have a reduced risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma." The findings appear in the March 1 issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology. Earlier studies hinted at the same thing. Now, Zheng says, it seems clear that a major factor in the mysterious rise of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a diet high in meat, saturated fats, dairy products, and eggs and low in fiber, fruits, and vegetables. ' http://my.webmd.com/content/Article/...?printing=true That adiposity, high blood sugars etc, cause cancer, is well known. That meat has a direct effect, is not at all clear from this correlation study. Apparently, it is clear. One thing that's known about non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is that people whose immune systems aren't working well -- such as AIDS patients -- are at increased risk. Zheng suggests that immune function depends on proper nutrition. no kidding! "Your body is designed to repair things," Zheng says. "But if your body is not getting proper nutrition, how can the immune system continue to function? Everything relates to the nutrients in your dietary intake." Cancer-Fighting Foods Zheng's study showed that people who ate more of certain foods tended to have a lower risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Those foods include: Tomatoes Broccoli Squash Cauliflower Onions Mixed lettuce salad Leeks Apples Pears Citrus fruits I do not think that these products and meat are mutually exclusive. I eat a few pounds of that stuff per day, and a lot of meat. That, based on common sense, is the healthiest diet. That's not common sense, and based on research, it isn't. more empty phrases.

So fruits *are* restricted on low-carb' diets? Atkins' diet too? I might eat leeks if I knew what they were, lol. Too bad spinach isn't on the list, I eat a lot of that too. Careful, spinach has a rather high oxalate content, but, saying that; 'Review Article: By increasing intestinal calcium absorption, meat intake induces hypercalciuria. The metabolic products include oxalate and uric acid, both of which are excreted in the urine. In addition, the urinary pH is reduced after a meat-containing meal. Animal protein can thus induce calcium oxalate supersaturation. Uric acid can also encourage calcium oxalate stones by interfering with the action of naturally occurring inhibitors in the urine (Rao PN. Dietary habit and urolithiasis, in DLJ Freed, Ed. Health Hazards of Milk. London, Bailliere Tindall, 1984). Review Article: Animal protein not only increases calcium excretion, but also increases the excretion of oxalate and uric acid derived from its high purine content (Blacklock NJ. Influence of diet on the formation of bladder and kidney stones. Nutr Health 2:89-99, 1983). Observational Study: Dietary analysis revealed that pts. with a history of recurrent nephrolithiasis have higher dietary intakes of animal protein than do single stone formers, and non-stone formers consume less animal protein than single stone formers. Stone formers were found to excrete more calcium, oxalate and uric acid than non-stone formers, while vegetarians excreted least of all (Robertson WG et al. Should recurrent calcium oxalate stone formers become vegetarian? Br J Urol 51:427-31, 1979). Clin Sci (Lond) 1979 Sep;57(3):285-8 The effect of high animal protein intake on the risk of calcium stone-formation in the urinary tract. Robertson WG, Heyburn PJ, Peacock M, Hanes FA, Swaminathan R. 1. Studies were carried out on six normal male subjects to determine the short-term effect of increasing the dietary consumption of animal protein on the urinary risk factors for stone-formation, namely, volume, pH, calcium oxalate, uric acid and glycosaminoglycans. 2. An increase of 34 g/day of animal protein in the diet significantly increased urinary calcium (23%) and oxalate (24%). Total urinary nitrogen increased by an average of 368 mmol/day. The accompanying increase in dietary purine (11 mmol of purine nitrogen/day) caused a 48% increase in the excretion of uric acid. 3. The overall relative probability of forming stones, calculated from a combination of the risk factors, was markedly increased (250%) throughout the period of high animal protein ingestion.

Diet Linked To Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Why correlation is not causation: It is not often when people eat low carb diet that is high in meat and fat and at the same time is high in vegetables (which are obviously good things), and at the same time relatively low in carbs and calories. So, studies studying general populations and their trends, are going to miss that segment of people due to its size, and therefore are not instructive for people like me who follow the diet Idescribed. Like I said, I eat several pounds of vegetables per day, one apple, plenty of meat, some fat, at the same time it is relatively low in calorie. 50% calories from fat, 25% from carbs and 25% from protein. A typical fat person who eats a lot of meat has a diet that could not be farther from what I eat. Why should I be , therefore, influenced by their health problems that have little to do with meat, as such. Carb intake of most other people and their adiposity IS the confouding factor that makes conclusions based on correlation unwarranted. Improperly digested animal protein is associated with endogenous production of active oxygen (free radicals), leading to oxidative stress (and cancer). 'Carnivores have a much higher concentration of hydrochloric acid in the stomach for break down of proteins and to kill any dangerous bacteria. Their stomach acidity is less than or equal to pH 1 with food in the stomach, while humans have a pH 4 to 5. http://www.b-naturals.com/win00.htm ''According to Harper's Biochemistry, the putrefaction bacteria in the large intestine convert amino acids from undigested protein into toxic amines or ptomaines, such as cadaverine (from lysine), agmatine (from arginine), tyramine (from tyroseine), putrescine (from orithine) and histamine (from histidine). And these amines are "powerful vasopressor substances". Tryptophan undergoes a series of reactions to form indole and methylindole (skatole), which produces the distinctive putrefying faecal smell of a high protein diet. The sulphur-containing amino acids (cysteine and methionine) are transformed into mercaptans such as ethyl and methyl mercaptan as well as hydrogen sulphide (H2S). All these compounds are very poisonous and unpleasant. Phosphatidylcholine, only found in meats, breaks down into choline and the related toxic amines such as neurine. .. ... plant protein is less digestible .. because it is found in the tough cellulose walls of plant cells which pass through the gut undigested if not sufficiently masticated. These proteins are not available as soil for putrefying bacteria in the bowel. Animal protein wastes are highly bioavailable to putrefying bowel bacteria since they have no cellulose cell wall.' http://web.archive.org/web/200304180...mc/protein.htm 'Because waste products such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, histamines, phenols and indoles are toxic, the body's defense mechanisms try to eliminate them by releasing neutrophils (a type of leukocyte, or white corpuscle). These neutrophils produce active oxygen, oddball oxygen molecules that are capable of scavenging disintegrating tissues by gathering electrons from the molecules of toxic cells. Problems arise, however, when too many of these active oxygen molecules, or free radicals, are produced in the body. They are extremely reactive and can also attach themselves to normal, healthy cells and damage them genetically. These active oxygen radicals steal electrons from normal, healthy biological molecules. This electron theft by active oxygen oxidizes tissue and can cause disease.

They noted that while the high meat intake group had higher renal acid secretion at the onset of the diet, it fell signficantly with time. At the end of the study, the researchers noted that there was no difference in bone mass or calcium retention among the two groups. They concluded that high meat diets do not reduce calcium retention or bone mass.

Protein Intake: Effects on Bone Mineral Density and the Rate of Bone Loss in Elderly Women (Journal Abstract) Added on: 8/22/2003 Hits: 204 From Creighton University and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2003: A team of researchers from the Bone Metabolism Unit of the Osteoporosis Research Center studied the relationship between protein intake and the bone densities in postmenopausal elderly women for 3 years. They found that bone mineral density was significantly higher among women who scored in the highest quartiles of protein intake when they also took in 480 mg/d of calcium. Controlled High Meat Diets Do Not Affect Calcium Retention or Indices of Bone Status in Healthy Postmenopausal Women (Journal Abstract) Added on: 8/22/2003 Hits: 116 From the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, and the Journal of Nutrition 2003: A team of USDA researchers placed 15 healthy postmenopausal women on two diets for 8 weeks each. The first diet was high in meat (about 10.5 ounces per day) and the second was much lower (1.5 ounces per day). Their calcium, sodium, and caffiene intakes were controlled for the 16 weeks of the study. The researchers found that the high meat diet did not increase urinary calcium loss or affect indicators of bone metabolism, as is widely believed in medical circles. The researchers concluded that calcium retention is not reduced when eating a high protein diet from meat. New Data on Dietary Protein and Bone (Press Release) Added on: 8/22/2003 Hits: 108 From the USDA's Agricultural Research Service and the Grand Forks Human Nutrition Research Center, 2003: A team of USDA researchers placed 15 healthy postmenopausal women on two diets for 8 weeks each.

Protein Saves Bone in Elders (Magazine Article) Added on: 9/24/2002 Hits: 254 From Harvard University and the USDA, 2001: This team of researchers from Harvard and other universities found that 70 to 90 year-old men and women with the highest protein intakes lost significantly less bone over a four-year period than those who consumed half as much or less. Animal protein, as well as overall protein intake, was associated with preserving bone. The study, known as the Framingham Osteoporosis Study, was conducted at the USDA Human Nutrition Research Center. Effect of Protein Intake on Bone Mineralization during Weight Loss: A 6-Month Trial (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/16/2002 Hits: 281 From The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University in Denmark and the journal Obesity Research, 2002: These researchers studied two groups with the same dietary fat intake but with varying degrees of protein intake. One group was placed on a low protein diet while the second group was placed on a high protein diet for 6 months. The group on the high protein diet lost more weight than did the low protein dieters. While the researchers found that the bone mineralization content decreased in both groups, they found that the loss was greater in the low protein group than in the high protein group. They concluded that body fat loss was the major reason for the loss and state, "...we found no adverse effects of 6 months of high-protein intake on bone mineralization." Bone Mineral Density and Dietary Patterns in Older Adults: The Framingham Osteoporosis Study (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/11/2002 Hits: 278 From Harvard University and The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2002: This group of researchers, including professors from Harvard, reported their findings from the long-term Framingham Osteoporosis Study.

They reviewed the association between the women's intake of dietary fat and their levels of sex hormones, including estrogen. They found that there was no association between dietary fat intake and elevated estrogen. In fact, they found that the *less* dietary fat the women in the study ate, the more likely they were to have elevated estrogen, quite to the surprise of the researchers. They concluded that these results are "inconsistent with the hypothesis that fat intake predisposes to breast cancer risk by raising endogenous estrogen levels." High Fat Diet Not Associated With Increased Estrogen in Postmenopausal Women (Press Release) Added on: 8/25/2003 Hits: 62 From Harvard University and the International Union Against Cancer Information Services, 2000: A team of researchers from the Harvard Department of Nutrition studied 381 postmenopausal women for 4 years.

Fasting Insulin Predicts Distant Disease Free Survival and Overall Survival in Women with Operable Breast Cancer (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 196 From The University of Toronto and the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), 2000: These Canadian researchers found that fasting insulin levels predict survival for women with breast cancer. High levels of insulin put women at significantly higher risk of recurrence and death from breast cancer despite standard therapy. The authors state that insulin prompts breast cancer cells to grow. They also found that higher fasting insulin levels was related to obesity. Association of Dietary Intake of Fat and Fatty Acids With Risk of Breast Cancer (Journal Abstract) Added on: 7/10/2002 Hits: 147 From Harvard University and The Journal of The American Medical Association, 1999: A Harvard team studied the risk factors associated with breast cancer and concluded, "We found no evidence that lower intake of total fat or specific major types of fat was associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer".
