"When japanese immigrated to the United States after World War II, the first and second generations of japanese in the United States experienced quadruple the rate of prostate cancer compared to their native japanese counterparts. More recently, researchers have cited Westernization of diets and decreased intake of cold-water fish high in omega-3 fats and vitamin D as partial reasons for rising rates of prostate cancer in japanese and Koreans. Vitamin D suppresses tumor growth and promotes differentiation in prostate cancer similar to the way it works with breast cancer." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"If you've eaten at a japanese restaurant, you may have met up with a bowl of miso soup, a thin stock made from a paste of fermented soybeans. Doesn't sound too appetizing? Trust me, it's tastier than you might think. But if my endorsement alone doesn't convince you, consider this: A group of japanese researchers conducted a large study on japanese women between ages 40 and 59, looking at soy, isoflavones (a plant estrogen found in soy), and breast cancer. After a decade of collecting data, the researchers found some magic in that miso!" - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"There are several supports for this theory: (1) The japanese have the highest iodine content in their diet and the lowest rates of breast cancer and breast disease. The japanese consume nearly 12 mg of iodine daily, mostly from seafood and seaweeds (like those used in sushi, for example), as compared with North Americans, who consume 150 to 200 meg per day or less. (2) Fibrocystic breast disease improves with iodine therapy (see below). (3) Iodine protects breast cells from precancerous states (dysplasia) and carcinogens." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"According to The japanese Market News, a publication that provides statistics on various industries in Japan, the japanese have an estimated ten million dogs and seven million cats as house pets. Japan imports most of its pet food. "Over 90 percent of imports have traditionally come from three countries: the United States, Australia, and Thailand, all three of which have abundant supplies of livestock and seafood [which compose the raw materials for pet food]," reports The japanese Market News. 12 An interesting aside, tastes in pet food appear to mirror a particular culture's eating habits." - Ann N.

"But if my endorsement alone doesn't convince you, consider this: A group of japanese researchers conducted a large study on japanese women between ages 40 and 59, looking at soy, isoflavones (a plant estrogen found in soy), and breast cancer. After a decade of collecting data, the researchers found some magic in that miso! First of all, for the women in the study, miso soup was a part of daily life. Seventy-five percent ate it almost every day, and most had two or more cups a day." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"When Japanese-Hawaiians, North American Caucasians, native rural japanese and rural native Africans patients who recently had a colon polyp removed were compared, the populations whose colons contained Lactobacillus species and Eubacterium aerofaciens had a lower risk of colon cancer. People whose colons contained bad microbes were found to have a higher risk of colon cancer. Thus it would appear that colons with lactic acid-producing bacteria (e.g., types of studies are called epidemiological studies." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Indeed, japanese women with European-like wet earwax have a higher rate of breast cancer than japanese women with Asian-type dry earwax. We're all pretty used to our noses running, but when wet stuff leaks out of our ears, it's another matter. As with earwax, watery discharge from the ear—medically known as otorrhea—can be a clue that the ear is cleaning itself. But ear drainage may signal several conditions that if left untreated can progress to more serious problems." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"One example is a japanese scientist who was denied access to modest amounts of DuPont's high-oleic soybeans by both DuPont and the japanese government when that crop was being reviewed by japanese regulatory authorities.15 A scientist studying the potential for a GE crop to spread beneficial traits to sexually compatible weeds (creating so-called 'superweeds') was denied access to the transgene by the GE crop developer."16 GM Free Cymru "When Prof." - Jeffrey M.

"The japanese Army Officer Perhaps the best story I could tell illustrates how the human body is capable of responding when it is fed as nature intended it to be. It is able to reverse its condition to one of youthful vigor and achieve a state of sensitive oneness with its environment. You might remember the true story about the japanese army officer, who fought the war in the jungles on one of the Philippine islands for thirty years after World War II, not knowing that it was over. This man was on the Boston show which is like Good Morning America. It was amazing to look at him." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"One study that examined the risk of stomach cancer in japanese men found that drinking green tea conferred no protective effect.23 In fact, there was a greater incidence of cancer among smokers who drank a lot of green tea than among those who drank less tea, which was of borderline statistical significance, although this might have been caused by the fact that people who smoke also tend to drink green tea. Another study followed 40,530 japanese adults for eleven years to measure mortality and green tea consumption." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) "Based on this evidence, many consider green tea to be healthful, and many japanese drink large quantities of it. Green tea extracts sold as supplements in the U.S. are promoted as having cancer-prevention properties. One study that examined the risk of stomach cancer in japanese men found that drinking green tea conferred no protective effect." - J.

"Additionally, natto, produced from the fermentation of soy beans by means of a bacterium called Bacillus subtillus, has been eaten by the japanese for hundreds of years. It has been credited with many medicinal properties and only recently have scientists given the enzyme found in natto a name: nattokinase.

"A successful model of homegrown non-Western modernism is found in the recent history of the japanese people. Because the japanese had a strong and healthy version of traditional consciousness (nurtured by two hundred years of self-imposed isolation and unfettered refinement), when they made the leap to modernism in the late nineteenth century they were extremely successful (even after the devastation of World War II) because their strong base of traditional consciousness served as a supporting foundation for their uniquely japanese form of modernist culture." - Steve McIntosh, Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution (Get the book.)

"Incidentally, the japanese, who drink large amounts of green tea, have some of the lowest rates of cardiovascular disease in the world.) Green tea seems to be able to almost totally prevent cancer causing DNA damage in smokers—a possible explanation as to why the japanese, who are among the world's heaviest smokers, have such a low incidence of lung cancer." - Jon Barron, Lessons from The Miracle Doctors: A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimum Health and Relief from Catastrophic Illness (Get the book.)

"Cicero A iH^^kccording to surveys, nearly 80 percent of japanese consumers believe that rice grown in California is inferior to the domestic variety. Those perceptions help to justify trade restrictions on an important and traditional dietary staple in that nation. But in a 2003 study featuring blind taste tests, 161 japanese nationals were asked to rate characteristics such as sweetness, stickiness, texture, fragrance, and whiteness in both domestic and imported versions of the rice preferred in japanese cooking—and most could not tell the difference." - Michael J.

"However, the japanese industry has no option but to comply with the 2005 European regulations on ingredient safety in order to market its cosmetics in Europe. The japanese industry must now decide whether to comply with these standards in Japan as well or to adopt European safety standards only for the products it sells in the EU. The International Fragrance Association Founded in 1973, the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) is an organization of over 100 perfume and fragrance manufacturers representing fifteen nations, including the Far East, Australia, U.S." - Samuel S.

"Similar comparisons have been made among other peoples with similar results; for example, between japanese and Americans, sea-coast japanese and japanese city dwellers, Canadian Arctic dwellers and people living on the border of the United States and Canada, and people in Seattle, Washington, who eat fish versus people in the Midwest who don't. The outcome is always similar.

"Other cultures know that emotional pain is a good thing. In japanese culture, for instance, sadness is appropriate and valued. "Melancholia, sensitivity, fragility—these are not negative things in a japanese context," Tohru Takahashi, a psychiatrist who worked for Japan's National Institute of Mental Health for three decades, explained. "It never occurred to us that we should try to remove [sad and melancholy emotions], because it never occurred to us that they were bad." - Charles Barber, Comfortably Numb: How Psychiatry Is Medicating a Nation (Get the book.)

"For example, Laurie Campbell, the chairperson of the Mediumship Research Committee of the Susy Smith Project in the Human Energy Systems Laboratory, told us about an instance where she made contact with a deceased husband, and learned from him that he secretly purchased a japanese scarf for his wife, which was wrapped in a box that was still in the house. He had not been able to give it to her before he died. With the aid of her family, the wife searched the house and discovered to her amazement the box containing the beautiful japanese scarf.
