What China Study Reveals About Cancer and Our Food Choices

"The China Study is simply blowing me away. And I’m only on page 70! Here’s what’ I’ve learned so far. There are three stages of cancer, which the author compares to planting a lawn.

Here’s what’ I’ve learned so far. There are three stages of cancer, which the author compares to planting a lawn. The Initiation Stage is like putting seeds into the soil. The Promotion Stage is when the grass begins to grow, and the Progression Stage is when the grass gets out of control and grows places you don’t want it to grow. The chemicals that “plant the seeds” of cancer are called carcinogens and they originate primarily from industry byproduct but can also be found in nature. Professor Campbell (author of The China Study) found that decreasing dietary protein decreases the chance that carcinogens will evolve into tumors into the Initiation Stage. He also discovered that when protein needs are exceeded, disease onset begins (the Promotion Stage). Finally – here’s the doozy – plant protein does not promote cancer growth, even when consumed at higher levels. Only animal protein promotes cancer growth. In fact, plant protein actually DECREASES tumor development. Stage is when the grass gets out of control and grows places you don’t want it to grow.
