Wow! It's a good thaing that Atkins is a vegatable-rich, moderate

like cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage!

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.

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


That's rich coming from you, dopey.


No it isn't, liar.

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

Oh, neat. I eat all of these on my low-carb diet except the last 4. I
might eat leeks if I knew what they were, lol. Too bad spinach isn't on

Meat, Saturated Fat, Dairy May Raise Risk

"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.

'.. 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.

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.

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.

OXODIZED TISSUE LEADS TO:

Liver - Hepatitis, cirrhosis, cancer

Pancreas - Pancreatitis, diabetes, cancer

Kidney - Nephritis, nephrosis, cancer

From the USDA Agricultural Research Service and the Journal of Nutrition,
2003: A team of researchers compared the effects of several weeks a
controlled high and low meat diets on calcium retention and bone mass in
15 healthy postmenopausal women for 8 weeks. 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.

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."

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.

From The Case Western Reserve University and The Journal of The American
College of Nutrition, 1995: Researchers used PET scans to study the
glucose uptake in two advanced cancer pediatric patients and found that a
ketogenic diet halted cancer progression.

There's more, but I tire of this.

For every study you can show me, I can show you another study saying
exactly the opposite. Studies are BS.

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


Oh, neat. I eat all of these on my low-carb diet except the last 4.


So fruits *are* restricted on low-carb' diets? Atkins' diet too?


I'm not an Atkins expert, but I believe fruits are restricted on Atkins in
the beginning stages when you're trying to break the sugar addiction, and
then they're gradually added back in. I don't eat a lot of fruit simply
because I don't much like it, lol. I eat some cantaloupe about once every
few weeks, and I put lemon juice in my water sometimes, but that's about it.


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;

*article with lots of big words I don't know snipped*

I'm sure every single diet (by diet I mean way of eating, not temporary
restriction of calories to lose weight) has too much of some things and not
enough of others. I just try to get as much variety and as little sugar
and junk food as possible. A vegatble stir fry with shrimp, chicken, or
beef, a salad with ham, chicken, or shrimp, a piece of broiled fish or
grilled chicken with a side of brocolli or spinach - these are some of my
typical meals on a low-carb way of eating, and it's just common sense to me
that it's healthier to eat that way than my previous typical meal of Kraft
mac & cheese with chopped up hot dogs.

I have only 3 flaws. My first flaw is thinking that I only have 3 flaws.

Heck no. I eat lots of tomatoes and bell peppers. Of course, I do
eat some sweet fruit also like berries and melon.
