"Rectal cancer risk, on the other hand, decreased with greater consumption of dairy products and increased with red or processed meat consumption and the FF FOKI genotype [235]. Among older people (>64 years), associations of BMI (positive association) and Prudent diet (inverse association) were stronger among those without an e3 apolipoprotein E (apoE) [236, 237]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Even some of the researchers associated with the Nurses' Health Study have begun doing dietary pattern analysis, in one case comparing a prudent diet modeled on Mediterranean and Asian patterns—high in fruits, vegetables, and fish and low in red meat and dairy products—with a typical Western diet featuring lots of meat (and processed meat), refined grains, sugary foods, french fries, and dairy products. (The study found "strong evidence" that the prudent dietary pattern may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"However, although several cohort studies found increased risk with higher consumption of red meat, processed meat, or other types of meat [10, 15, 34], 10 other cohort studies did not find an association [35]. In a Norwegian cohort there was an increased risk associated with sausage intake as a main meal in women, but not in men [36]. Some case-control studies detected associations [37-39], whereas others did not [40-42]. Two studies suggest that the association of meat with risk of colon cancer is modified by other components of the diet, specifically vegetables [43] and legumes [44]. C." - Ann M.

"Hot dogs and other processed meat products, red wine, caffeine and, unfortunately, chocolate. • A Drug-Free, Two-Step Treatment This two-step method for relieving general headache pain is especially suited for those who suffer side effects from painkillers, or for pregnant women watching their drug intake: 1 Close your eyes and try to visualize yourself on a hot, sandy beach in the middle of a sunny afternoon. (A variation of biofeedback, visualization can actually raise the body's temperature, which in turn eases pain." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"In a prospective study that examined whether overall dietary patterns derived from a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) predicted risk of CHD in men found a dietary pattern including high intakes of red meat and processed meat was associated with a higher risk for CVD compared lower intakes (RR adjusted for lifestyle variables and fat intake: 1.43 [1.01, 2.01]) [171]." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "The prevalence of p53 mutations, the most commonly mutated gene in most cancers including colon cancer, varies by the method used to detect the abnormality [247, 248]. processed meat [248, 249] and meat in general [159] have been reported to be associated with microsatellite instability of colon and rectal tumors [250]. Liquor consumption was associated with an increase in risk of rectal cancer in men with the wild-type K-ras [251], monounsaturated fat [252], and low levels of nutrients associated with DNA methylation [44] or vitamins B!" - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"And most warnings concern red meat or processed meat like bacon. Both Dr. Robert Kane and Dr. Robert Butler say that when establishing a diet, it's important to balance calories between complex carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, minimizing trans fats, saturated fats, and salt. "The key is taking in what you need and avoiding the extremes," explains Dr. Kane. "You could go to a nonanimal diet, but an awful lot of vegetarians take in more cholesterol through cheeses and milk and various products than they ever would take in eating meat at a modest level." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Large population studies repeatedly show that diets high in processed meat, salt, and saturated fat and low in vegetables, fruits, and fiber increase the risk of developing cancer, especially bowel cancer. But when you separate individual components such as fiber or fat, you see no cancer/food relationship. For example, in 2000 the New England Journal of Medicine reported a study that found no effect from increasing cereal fiber on the recurrence of colorectal adenomas. Similar studies on fat intake and breast cancer in the Women's Health Initiative Study didn't show a relationship, either." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Cadmium sources include tap water, fungicides, marijuana, processed meat, rubber, seafood (cod, haddock, oyster, tuna), sewage, tobacco, colas (especially from vending machines), tools, welding material, evaporated milk, airborne industrial contaminants, batteries, instant coffee, incineration of tires/rubber/plastic, refined grains, soft water, galvanized pipes, dental alloys, candy, ceramics, electroplating, fertilizers, paints, motor oil, and motor exhaust." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"The Institute's report said it "could find no amount of processed meat that is safe to eat." High intake of fructose and sucrose: Consumption of these sugars may increase the risk of developing pancreatic cancer, according to a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Hawaii and the University of Southern California. Fructose naturally occurs in fruits, while sucrose is usually extracted from sugar cane or sugar beets." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Both reports stress the need for increasing one's intake of plant fiber, fruits, and vegetables and reducing red and processed meat consumption to less than 80-90g per day. Eating a balanced vegetarian diet is one of the most effective ways to prevent cancer. If you feel you cannot solely live on foods that are of vegetable origin, then at least try to substitute chicken, rabbit, or turkey for red meat for a period of time. Eventually, you may feel confident enough to eat a fully vegetarian diet." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Foods prepared from processed meat and fish are not as nutritious as the original food and ought not to be used as food. This includes extruded proteins, whether of animal or vegetable origin. It also includes imitation fish, such as processed lobster or other artifacts that look like and try to taste like the original fish but seldom succeed. Several years ago there was some interest in converting oil to protein and then using this as food." - Abram Hoffer, PhD, MD, FRCP(C) and Dr. Jonathan Prousjy, DPHE, DSC, ND, FRSH, Naturopathic Nutrition: A Guide to Nutrient-rich Food & Nutritional Supplements for Optimum Health (Get the book.)

"Because we humans get exposed to nitrites through consumption of processed meat such as hot dogs and bacon, some products came under fire. Hot dogs were an easy target. Besides containing additives like nitrites, hot dogs can be made out of ground-up lips, snouts, spleens, tongues, throats and other "variety meats."13 So as the nitrite/ nitrosamine issue heated up, hot dogs weren't looking so hot. Ralph Nader had called hot dogs "among America's deadliest missiles." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M.

"It's also interesting that the FDA should describe Ephedra as being "unsafe at any dose" when many other toxic chemicals added to foods, drugs, and cosmetics are universally declared to be "safe at low doses" even when such chemicals are known carcinogens. processed meat producers, for example, are allowed to add cancer-causing sodium nitrite to bacon, sausage, pepperoni, ham, and other meat products." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"Note: Avoid using salami, bologna, or any other type of heavily processed meat. Tip: Danish Lite Jarlsburg cheese works particularly well. Whole-Wheat, Low-Carb Roll-Up (Serves 1) This is a good brown-bag lunch, as long as you are not sensitive to the carbs in the tortilla.

"When these doctors were divided into two major dietary patterns—one labeled "prudent," as it was characterized by higher consumption of vegetables, fruit, fish, poultry, and whole grains, and the other labeled "Western," as it was characterized by higher consumption of red meat, processed meat, french fries, high-fat dairy products, refined grains, and sweets and desserts. The Western diet alone carried with it a 50 percent increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

"Avoid processed meat at all costs! This includes bacon, hot dogs, sandwich meat, etc. Replace cow's milk with hemp milk, rice milk, almond milk, or raw goat's milk. Better yet, drink only purified water! My personal favorite is hemp milk. It is delicious with a slightly nutty flavor and provides essential and balanced nutrition. Hemp milk is a fantastic alternative to soymilk or cows' milk. For an easy recipe, see the Resources section. Consume only organic cheese or goat cheese. Whenever you eat meat, take an enzyme supplement to assist your body with proper digestion." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Kulvinskas goes on to say, "Prepared or processed meat (cooked, smoked, and salted) brought on the most violent reactions equivalent to the leukocytosis count manifest in poisoning." He also found that a largely raw food diet offsets the adverse effect of a small amount of cooked food so as not to cause leukocytosis. Kulvinskas later wrote, "Cooked food has lost more than 85% of its nutrient value. It acts as a poison in the body, especially if it ingested hot, that is, warmer than 100 degrees F. Most cooked foods are eaten at a temperature of 180 degrees F." - Timothy Brantley, The Cure: Heal Your Body, Save Your Life (Get the book.)

"By contrast, men who ate the highest percentage of their foods from the "typical American diet" category (high in red meat, processed meat, refined grains, sweets, and desserts) had a 64% increased risk of heart attack, compared with men who ate the fewest foods in that category. The various risks in this study were derived after controlling for all other beneficial or harmful influencing factors." - Alan R. Gaby, M.D., Jonathan V. Wright, M.D., Forrest Batz, Pharm.D.

"Both reports stress the need for increasing the daily intake of plant fiber, fruits and vegetables and reducing red and processed meat consumption to less than 80-90g. If you are currently eating meat on a regular basis and wish to change over to a vegetarian diet, unless you suffer from a major cardiovascular illness, do not give up all flesh foods at once! The digestive system cannot adjust to a substantially different diet from one day to the next. Start by reducing the number of meals that include meats such as beef, pork, veal and lamb and substituting poultry and fish during these meals." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"In the first place meat, especially sausages, cold meats, all kinds of processed meat and beef soups, as well as foods cooked with eggs and cheese, should be avoided wherever possible. If you feel you cannot give up meat entirely, at least confine yourself to freshly prepared unprocessed meat and keep off all preserved meats, sausages and processed meats. Secondly, stay off all processed foods, white sugar, white flour products, canned foods, in other words everything that is no longer in its natural state or original form." - Alfred Vogel, The Nature Doctor: A Manual of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (Get the book.)

"When nitrates are added and this processed meat is cooked, carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds can be formed. Some of these can accumulate in our bodies, can cause cancer, and are risk factors for childhood leukemia and brain tumors. Most hot dogs also contain benzene, dacthal, dieldrin, lindane, hormones, and many other potentially harmful ingredients such as antibiotics which do not have to be listed on the package. "They" are not telling us "the whole truth, and nothing but the truth," about what's in these meats because there is no law that says "they" have to provide this information." - Gregory, A. Gore, Defeat Cancer (Get the book.)

"The results of the study were dramatic. Participants who consumed the most red meat had a 25 percent higher risk of developing colorectal cancer compared with those who ate the least, and a 20 percent higher risk of developing lung cancer.12 The risk of esophageal and liver cancer was increased by between 20 and 60 percent. Higher meat intake also correlated with an increased risk or pancreatic cancer in men." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Studies have found that eating processed meat could make you 1.5 to 2 times more likely to develop colorectal polyps and/or cancer.26 We've established that meat and dairy products can include hormones, antibiotics, and nitrates, but an even more shocking source of toxins is what is known as "rendered" food materials. Rendered food is what most people unknowingly feed to their pets; but it's also fed to livestock, so it winds up in your local supermarket and then inside your body. We must trace toxins to their root source if we are to eliminate them." - Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, ND, DACBN, Health Begins in the Colon (Get the book.)

"Line a strainer with cheesecloth, put the processed meat into the strainer, and place it over a glass container. Drain the coconut milk, pressing out all the liquid with the flat back of a large wooden spoon, or with your hands. Freshly made coconut milk should be used immediately or refrigerated and used within two days. QUICK SERVING IDEAS • Sprinkle unsweetened, dried shredded coconut over sweet or spicy soups, fruit salads, or tossed greens. Use as a topping for desserts. Add to granola and other cereals, cookies, cakes, and muffins." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"She bought her processed meat, like meat pies, at the market to save money. Pam didn't necessarily love schoolwork, but by fifteen she did love the boys at Soar Valley Comprehensive School. She'd gossip with her friend Cindy about what would become of them if they never got married. Cindy would say that Pam had no worries: she was tall, so pretty—especially her brown hair—and so outgoing. Sure enough, boys called her for dates. Arthur, always the steady provider, did the taxiing so he could keep an eye on them. He trusted Pam, but not the rest of the world." - Elinor Levy, Mark Fischetti, The New Killer Diseases: How the Alarming Evolution of Germs Threatens Us All (Get the book.)

"None of these contaminants are required to be listed on the label of processed meat products such as bacon. When you eat bacon fat, you are consuming highly-concentrated stores of these chemical contaminants. All those chemical toxins, heavy metals, pesticides, hormones and other substances found in the fat tissues of the original animal now become your problem. As mentioned in the quote above, 143 chemical substances have been detected in commercial meats, 42 are carcinogens and 20 can cause birth defects." - Mike Adams, Grocery Warning: How to recognize and avoid the groceries that cause cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and other common diseases (Get the book.)

"So the number one reason you have cancer is the toxins that are purposely being put in our food, our water, our air, our cosmetics, soaps, and cleaning supplies that all wind up in our bodies. 2. Nutritional Deficiencies. The second cause of all cancers is nutritional deficiencies. Even the U.S. Government states that at least one-half of all Americans suffer from varying degrees of nutritional deficiencies." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)
