Diet Linked To Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

"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.

Unbalanced Diet, Unhealthy Body
...
... what is happening to the American is associated with a
number of malignancies such as breast, kidney, and colon
cancer. Higher body weight is a common theme."

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.

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.

"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

Improving your diet won't just lower your cancer risk,
Mueller notes.

"There is such a confluence between risk factors for cancer
and risk factors for heart disease," she says. "Get plenty of
exercise, eat a good diet, don't smoke. It is what your mother
told you. It's true that this is the basis of a healthy lifestyle.
And it's true that this lowers your risk for these big killers, too."

Wow! It's a good thaing that Atkins is a vegatable-rich, moderate
protein/low carbohydrate diet, emphasizing plenty of fiber-rich vegetables
like cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage! I feel sorry for those people
eating low-fat diets, consuming all that lean meat, thinking they're safe!
Now this study show that they're more likely to get cancer! Wow! And those
2-pound dieters eating 2 pounds of beef every day! Poor guys!

More confirmation that my low-carb way of eating is the healthiest of all;
thanks for posting this!

You don't consume a lot of meat, eggs, and dairy?

beans, spinach, squash and lots of salads.

Very good. What about sweet fruits?

Sounds very unhealthy.

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.

Why don't you answer my questions in a civil manner instead of just
making assumptions?

That's rich coming from you, dopey.

Yup. Veggies are mandatory from day one on.

Because you haven't even read the book. Yet you're foolish enough
to go around making pronouncements about it. Do you have any idea
how hilarious it is watching idiots who haven't even read the book
go around pontificating about it?

It's not the job of regulars on ASDLC to read the book for others.
Ignorance is curable, stupidity is incurable. Are you ignorant or
stupid? Reading the book will cure ignorance. Go for it!
