Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / October 2003Docs serve up diet surprise: Fat may help, soy may not stop cancer
http://theedge.bostonherald.com/healthNews/edgeHealth.bg?articleid=75 Docs serve up diet surprise: Fat may help, soy may not stop cancer By Michael Lasalandra Tuesday, October 28, 2003 Studies presented yesterday on the link between diet and cancer offered some unconventional ideas, suggesting high-fat diets may help prevent prostate cancer progression and diets high in soy neither increase nor reduce the risk of breast cancer. "A diet with fewer carbohydrates may be more effective in preventing progression to advanced, lethal prostate cancer than a diet with low fat content," said Dr. Ada Elgavish of the University of Alabama. Her study in mice found those that ate diets high in fat and low in carbohydrates had significantly lower rates of advanced prostate cancer and sharply higher survival rates than those fed low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets. But experts at the American Association for Cancer Research conference in Phoenix cautioned against anyone changing their diets based on the results of a small study in mice. A few studies in men with early stage prostate cancer have shown a low-fat diet can stall the disease's progression and even reverse it. A second study presented yesterday suggested diets high in fruits and vegetables can significantly lower breast cancer risk, but found high soy intake had no association, either positive or negative. The study on 378 women was conducted in China and was led by researchers at Oregon Health and Science University. Women who consumed at least four servings of fruits and vegetables per day had a 50 percent lower risk, and those who ate the most fruit lowered their risk by 70 percent, said Jackelin Shannon, lead author. But the lack of an association with high soy intake was the most intriguing finding, she said. Dr. John Potter of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center said the data on soy intake has been inconsistent. He said a study he did showed a reduced risk of breast cancer among those who started eating soy in childhood. "In general, we don't know the answer to whether soy is beneficial," he said. > http://theedge.bostonherald.com/healthNews/edgeHealth.bg?articleid=75 > > Docs serve up diet surprise: Fat may help, soy may not stop cancer Your one line blurb does not summarize the article correctly. i > By Michael Lasalandra > [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > "In general, we don't know the answer to whether soy is beneficial," > he said. > > http://theedge.bostonherald.com/healthNews/edgeHealth.bg?articleid=75 > > > > Docs serve up diet surprise: Fat may help, soy may not stop cancer > > Your one line blurb does not summarize the article correctly.

Mice don't belong to the same classes of humans, they're not primate They're adapted by nature by a diet low in carbohydrates, they don't eat fruits Rats and mice have nothing to do with humans with respect to trophic features They belong to a difference class compared to primate humans They are not adapted to an high carb diets of fruits, berries, vegetables, nut and fish In fact, while humans handle fructose quite well, fructose is quite dangerous to mice, but we know that primates eat fruits whereas I have never seen rats eating a banana As Steve Harris says "If you're a rat, you shouldn't eat fructose. Next rat that comes to me for a health consultation, I'll be sure and council him very well on the issue" So please, don't even post studies on rats or mice that are supposed to be used for human health, they're cruelty useless and if one is going to change his/her diet because of rats experiments then they become even dangerous !! I would dismiss Dr. Ada Elgavish from University just for being so idiot and ignorant as to squander her time and the nation money for such stupid studies, whilst she had just to consult a comparative anatomy professor to know that her stupid study was going to give results that doesnt' apply to humans Nicholas found those that ate diets high in fat and low in > carbohydrates had significantly lower rates of advanced prostate > cancer and sharply higher survival rates than those fed low-fat, [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > "In general, we don't know the answer to whether soy is beneficial," > he said. > > http://theedge.bostonherald.com/healthNews/edgeHealth.bg?articleid=75 > > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Studies on mice and rats diet are useless for human health !! Unless you are referring to Gohde, then the rat studies apply. ;-) TC |
