00:28 Welcome to "Prevent Cancer Naturally,"
00:30 another of our shows in the LifeStart Seminars series. 00:36 I'm Doctor David DeRose, a board-certified 00:39 specialist in internal and preventive medicine. 00:41 I'm your host, guiding you through this 00:43 very important subject. 00:45 No doubt, you've been confronted with cancer. 00:49 If you haven't experienced cancer in 00:51 your own life, the odds are that someone around you has. 00:54 It is now the leading cause of 00:56 death in many segments of the population of 00:59 the Western world. 01:00 Lifestyle and cancer, though, are 01:03 two things that actually interrelate. 01:05 The good news is that lifestyle choices 01:09 can dramatically decrease your risk of cancer. Indeed, 01:12 you can, in many cases, prevent cancer naturally. 01:17 That's not just my message. It's an encouraging message that 01:20 cancer experts, oncologists, and cancer researchers are sharing. 01:24 One of the seminal publications on this topic is "Food 01:28 Nutrition, Physical Activity, and the Prevention of Cancer." 01:32 It's an extensively documented work, put out 01:34 by the World Cancer Research Fund 01:37 and the American Institute for Cancer Research. 01:40 It was just last year that I was invited to speak 01:43 in Europe at an international conference. 01:46 In addition to giving a 01:47 plenary lecture, I was also going to be giving a workshop. 01:51 I was especially delighted to hear 01:54 that workshop would be given in concert 01:56 with Doctor Mark Connor. 01:58 Doctor Connor, a surgeon from Europe, 02:01 was someone I had met many years ago. 02:02 I had not seen him in, actually, 02:05 several decades. I was looking for to 02:07 to seeing Mark, working together with him. We had 02:09 corresponded electronically, some prior to the 02:11 conference that was held in Prague (in the Czech Republic). 02:14 When I got there, I was shocked to see Doctor Connor. 02:19 This guy was significantly older than me. 02:22 When I was looking at him, he looked 02:25 like he was much younger than me. 02:29 This is something that will definitely get your attention 02:32 when it comes to lifestyle and the benefits you can get 02:36 from following healthy lifestyle practices. Some of you 02:39 are wondering, "Well Doctor DeRose, 02:41 I thought you were following a healthy lifestyle?" 02:43 Maybe I should tell you the rest of the story. 02:45 It turned out that the Mark Connor I knew 02:48 (the surgeon) was the father 02:50 of the fellow presenting with me. I didn't realize that 02:53 until we were actually there together in Europe. 02:55 I was taken aback 02:57 by his youthful appearance. I mention that because 03:00 the material that I'm sharing with you was, actually, 03:03 largely gathered by Doctor Connor. 03:06 It was such an amazing presentation. 03:08 When we were talking about the LifeStart Seminar series, 03:11 I thought the material that 03:13 Doctor Connor shared with those other health professionals 03:15 would be just perfect for sharing with lay people. 03:19 There could be just a little bit more 03:21 explanation, a little bit more detail, and highlighting some 03:24 things a different way that we wouldn't 03:26 do for a professional audience. 03:28 With that in mind, if you're as excited 03:30 about this presentation as I am, 03:32 thank doctor Connor, the folks at the 03:35 World Cancer Research Fund, and the 03:37 American Institute for Cancer Research. They 03:39 have really highlighted these important lifestyle factors. 03:42 If you don't like something in the program, 03:46 it's probably my fault. It's easy 03:48 to take something that's great and not always 03:52 follow-through on that highest level of performance. 03:57 Remember the title of the work that were referencing. 04:06 Just start with the title. If you've been engaged already 04:09 by LifeStart Seminars, 04:11 you're already thinking. The mind is is working, saying, 04:15 "This is sounding like it fits right in 04:18 with the LifeStart Seminars concepts" 04:20 Indeed it does. This might be your first time 04:22 listening to a presentation from me or 04:24 anyone else on this series. Let me tell you 04:29 that LifeStart is a life- changing paradigm. 04:32 It highlights nine essential elements. 04:35 They can revolutionize your health. We're going to see 04:38 that those nine elements (at least 04:39 we'll highlight some of them) actually have a 04:43 bearing on preventing cancer. 04:46 If you do get cancer, we'll find it many of these 04:49 same principles can help you get the upper hand. 04:51 We'll be sure so that literature with you as well. 04:55 If you haven't heard of LifeStart before 04:57 (or if you have), let me just quickly walk 04:59 you through those nine elements. 05:01 "L" stands for Liquids. 05:03 These are beverage choices. 05:04 They make a big difference 05:05 in the area of cancer. We'll see that as we go along. 05:08 "I" stands for Interpersonal Relations, or 05:10 Interpersonal Relationships. 05:11 Hopefully, you've had the privilege 05:13 to go through this series 05:15 with someone else. This might sound strange to you. 05:18 You've possibly just found the 05:19 LifeStart Seminars Website. 05:22 If you're not already logged in, 05:25 go to lifestartseminars.com. 05:28 There are many communities, 05:30 throughout the United States and abroad, 05:32 sharing these materials. 05:34 They are actually offering these seminars 05:36 in community centers, churches, 05:38 and other places where people can come together. 05:42 If you can connect with other people, 05:45 the likelihood of you making lifestyle changes, 05:47 and sticking with them, 05:49 will be increased. Keep that in mind. 05:51 "L" is for liquids, "I" for Interpersonal Relations. 05:55 The "F" stands for Foods. This, 05:56 of course, is going to be highlighted. 05:58 It's the first word in the title of the work 06:00 that inspired Doctor Connor to give 06:02 that excellent presentation. 06:04 We're basing this on the synopsis of that material. 06:07 You've got "E," which stands for exercise. 06:12 We'll touch on that subject as well. 06:14 As you go through LifeStart paradigm further, 06:17 you've got "S" for Sunlight, "T" for Temperance. 06:21 Temperance is the idea 06:22 of total avoidance of things that are harmful, 06:25 using things that are good in moderation. 06:29 We move on then to Air--good, fresh air. 06:32 We'll talk some about that as well. Rest 06:36 is the "R," and then "T" for Trust in Divine Power. 06:40 With that background, 06:41 let me just mention one other thing. 06:43 On our LifeStart Seminars Website, 06:46 you can get an overview of the entire LifeStart 06:49 paradigm. It's a free e book. 06:51 I invite you go there if you've 06:52 not already picked up your copy. 06:54 That'll help you crystallize 06:57 this LifeStart approach in your mind. 06:59 There's another free resource I want to mention, 07:01 if you're engaged by the topic of cancer. 07:04 We've got a study guide 07:06 available, also free of charge on the 07:08 lifestartseminars.com Website. 07:13 Let's move on now and talk in some detail 07:17 about the exciting information that's 07:19 coming out about cancer and how it is 07:21 preventable with lifestyle choices. 07:25 Ten key recommendations 07:27 grow out of that work of the World Cancer Research Fund 07:30 and the American Institute for Cancer Research. 07:33 Let's just put those right out there at the beginning. 07:35 The first one is body weight, or 07:39 excess weight, more precisely. 07:41 The second one is 07:42 physical activity. These things deserve our attention, 07:45 if we want to prevent cancer. 07:47 The third one is energy-dense foods. 07:51 The next topic that's highlighted are plant foods. 07:54 Then there's talk about animal foods. 07:56 These are one set of foods derived from plant sources. 08:00 Another set of foods 08:01 is derived from animal sources. We'll find they have different 08:04 effects, if you're not already aware. 08:06 These groups then looked at 08:07 liquids, like alcoholic beverages. 08:10 Salt and preservation and 08:13 dietary supplements are topics. 08:15 These are some of the areas that we'll discuss, 08:17 looking at the current research as summarized 08:20 in that excellent book. 08:23 One of the issues I just have to mention 08:27 is that sometimes drawing these connections 08:29 between lifestyle and cancer are not the easiest. 08:33 The reason is that 08:34 we're not typically doing lifestyle studies 08:37 of people with cancer. We're only observing. 08:41 We then say, "Okay, 08:42 here are these who have developed cancer. 08:45 Here are those who didn't. 08:46 Let's compare them, 08:47 to see if we can find lifestyle differences. 08:50 Sometimes, that's done in what's called a 08:52 case-control study. 08:53 That's started 08:54 by identifying the cases (individuals with, 08:56 let's say, breast cancer). 08:58 Then we try to find women who 09:00 appear to be similar in all other respects, except 09:03 they don't have breast cancer. 09:04 You then try to look at differences. 09:06 Those studies are helpful, but not as 09:08 powerful as what we call longitudinal, 09:10 or cohort studies. 09:11 That's where a group of people are followed over 09:13 time. We will be sharing with you research like that. 09:16 Some might say, "These two groups look the same. 09:19 We follow them over time. 09:20 This person gets cancer, this doesn't. 09:23 What was different?" 09:24 When you look at many people, 09:25 you can sometimes draw some very 09:27 interesting conclusions. 09:28 Here are the "three big ones" that we want to 09:30 talk about. This is 09:31 what was highlighted in that 09:33 very important work. 09:34 The three big issues as, far as cancer prevention, 09:37 are weight management, physical activity, 09:40 and diet. You might say, "Wait a minute! 09:43 That sounds a lot 09:45 like what I've heard you, Doctor DeRose, 09:47 speak about in Reversing Diabetes Naturally." 09:50 That's one presentation here, in LifeStart Seminars. 09:55 It's these very same fundamentals 09:57 that set the stage for a host of diseases. 10:00 Cancer is right on the list. 10:02 The point is, we can 10:04 decrease our risk of cancer by 10:08 changing our lifestyle. Before we go too far, 10:11 I would be negligent not to put, in bold letters, 10:14 one of the most important factors. 10:16 It is embodied in the LifeStart paradigm. 10:18 It's the letter "A," which stands for (fresh) Air. 10:24 What is the single worst 10:26 pollutant that people are exposed to today? 10:30 Some of you living in industrial areas 10:32 might say, "That factory over there 10:34 keeps spewing that junk out." I am not saying 10:37 that some of those industrial 10:38 byproducts, whether in the air or the 10:40 water, are not dangerous. 10:42 They pale in comparison 10:45 to one single air pollution device, 10:50 the cigarette. Are you aware 10:53 that scientists have identified over 10:57 7,000 chemicals in cigarette smoke? 11:02 Speaking about cancer, I've got to tell it to you, 11:05 right out. There are four classes 11:08 of chemicals in tobacco smoke 11:10 that increase your likelihood of having cancer. 11:13 There are things 11:17 called carcinogens, cancer-causing substances. 11:21 Co-carcinogens are substances that work with 11:26 the carcinogen to cause cancer. Tumor promoters 11:31 promote cancer growth. If that's not enough, 11:35 there are chemicals called tumor accelerators. 11:38 Those also speed up the growth of cancer. 11:42 Do you see how powerful 11:44 tobacco smoke is in inducing cancer? 11:47 This is not just in the lungs, 11:48 voice box, or other areas 11:50 directly exposed to smoke. 11:53 It's also in places like the bladder. 11:58 Those chemicals get into the bloodstream. 12:00 They're shipped throughout the body. 12:03 You increase your risk of cancer in multiple sites 12:08 by cigarette smoking. 12:09 If you needed another reason to quit, there it is. 12:12 Get rid of the tobacco smoke, and you 12:15 will decrease your risk of cancer. 12:17 We're talking about preventing 12:19 cancer naturally. If you're serious, 12:21 you're going to get rid of the cigarettes. 12:23 That's probably enough said, isn't it? 12:25 Let me tell you one other thing. 12:27 When you're a specialist in internal 12:29 and preventive medicine, 12:31 it's not as dramatic and as glamorous 12:35 a specialty as being a surgeon. 12:37 Let's say someone is dying, and the surgeon does 12:40 an operation that saves that life. 12:42 They may say, "You saved my life, Doctor." 12:45 I'm very glad 12:46 we have many wonderful surgeons in the world. 12:49 When you're a preventive medicine specialist, 12:52 you're just trying to prevent disease. 12:56 Let's say you kept smoking, 12:58 and developed lung cancer that, 13:01 by chance, was caught early. 13:03 Do you realize most lung cancers 13:05 are caught at a point where they're not curable? 13:08 Most people die within a very 13:10 short time of being diagnosed. 13:12 Let's say yours was caught early. 13:13 The surgeon goes in, maybe 13:15 removes a lobe of your lung, 13:16 and you're healed. You may have some 13:19 difficulties. You've already damaged 13:21 the lungs due to emphysema. Now you've got 13:23 less lung 13:25 volume. You're having some breathing difficulties, 13:28 but you're alive. You're a survivor, just 13:30 thanking that surgeon who saved your life. 13:31 Let me tell you something better, that I can offer. 13:34 You haven't yet been diagnosed with 13:37 cancer, but there is a statistical possibility 13:40 the cancer has already begun in your lungs. 13:43 It is possible. If you keep smoking 13:46 from this day onward, 13:48 that practice (smoking) is feeding the cancer. 13:53 You can end up dying. 13:55 If you stopped right now, 13:57 you'll stop feeding the cancer. 13:59 Your immune system can get the upper hand, 14:02 leaving you cancer-free for the rest of your life. 14:05 You actually had early lung cancer. It could not 14:07 be detected, wouldn't show up on an x-ray or blood test. 14:10 Because you listened to this program, and 14:12 I encouraged you to stop smoking, you quit. 14:15 You're not going come to me, saying, 14:17 "Dr. DeRose, I'm so glad to see you! 14:20 You saved me from lung cancer." 14:21 You didn't know you had it, 14:23 but isn't that much better 14:24 than having your chest opened up, your ribs broken, 14:26 part of your lung removed? Let's move on. 14:30 Our focus is on other areas 14:33 that were highlighted in that study, such as weight. 14:36 When it comes to weight, the message is that 14:39 we should try to be as lean as possible 14:41 (within the normal range). 14:45 We're not advocating anorexia nervosa. 14:50 It means you're on a healthy lifestyle, 14:53 exercising regularly. You're taking 14:55 time to eat good, healthy foods 14:58 (giving yourself adequate time to eat meals). 15:00 You're not going to be severely underweight 15:02 (unless you have some disease process). 15:04 You will decrease dramatically 15:07 your risk of a host to cancers. Let me give you some examples. 15:10 One of those cancers is colon cancer. 15:13 If you're carrying excess weight and 15:18 diagnosed with colon cancer, 15:21 your likelihood of dying is increased 15:24 by carrying those extra pounds. 15:26 Carrying extra weight does a number of things. 15:28 When you carry extra weight, it causes your body 15:32 to be more insulin-resistant. 15:34 When you're insulin resistant, 15:36 the pancreas pumps out more insulin. 15:40 Insulin is actually a compound 15:44 that feeds cancer. 15:45 You're saying, "Wait a minute, Doctor DeRose. 15:47 How can insulin be bad for us? 15:49 We need insulin to live." 15:51 You're exactly right. We need insulin to live. 15:53 We need it in modest amounts. 15:56 If you have insulin resistance, your pancreas is 16:00 pumping out large amounts of insulin. 16:01 You could have diabetes, 16:03 and you're overweight, taking insulin shots. 16:06 That insulin is really more than optimal for your body. 16:10 You need it to keep your blood sugar controlled. 16:12 Don't misunderstand me. I'm not 16:14 saying to cut back on the insulin. 16:15 You should change your lifestyle, 16:17 lose some of that weight. 16:19 You'll need less insulin, and excess insulin 16:22 feeds cancer. By the way, this is true 16:25 with breast cancer as well. 16:27 If a woman is diagnosed with 16:29 breast cancer and overweight, 16:31 she's going to have a worse 16:33 chance of survival. You get the picture? 16:36 Whether it's breast cancer 16:37 or colon cancer, excess weight 16:41 ramps up a variety of processes. 16:43 It's not just insulin that rises 16:45 in women, but estrogen as well. 16:47 A woman who is overweight 16:49 will have higher estrogen levels. 16:51 She will be at greater risk of breast cancer, 16:54 as well as cancer I've the womb (endometrial cancer). 16:58 You men who are listening are probably saying, 17:00 "I'm glad I'm a guy! I don't have to worry about 17:03 endrometrial cancer. 17:05 There's a very low risk of breast cancer for men. 17:07 I'm sitting easy, even though I'm overweight." 17:11 These hormonal, growth-activating 17:15 compounds are not limited to estrogen 17:17 and insulin. There's another compound called IGF-1, 17:20 Insulin-like Growth Factor-1. Again, it feeds cancer. 17:25 If you're heavier, IGF-1 is ramped up. 17:28 You increase your risk for colon and prostate cancer. 17:33 You want to decrease your risk 17:35 and prevent cancer naturally. 17:37 If you're carrying extra weight, you want to trim down. 17:41 Let's move on 17:44 to another very important concept 17:46 in the LifeStart paradigm. 17:47 All the experts are talking about it. 17:49 If you want to decrease your risk of cancer, 17:54 you need to be on a regular exercise program. 17:57 Experts today are telling us to get 30 minutes 18:00 of exercise everyday. 18:01 That's what you need to plan. 18:03 To be honest, 18:04 I often recommend my overweight patients 18:07 work up to an hour a day. 18:09 If you're nothing, don t go out and walk for 60 minutes. 18:12 If you've got questions about 18:14 the safety of exercise, by all means, 18:15 speak with your physician. 18:16 Most of us don't need a prescription 18:19 to go shopping 18:20 in Wal-Mart, for example. 18:23 Some of those stores can be pretty big. 18:24 The local mall might be bigger. 18:26 Did you need a prescription to walk in the mall? 18:29 If you're able to do that, it's probably safe 18:32 to walk at that same pace 18:34 around your block. 18:37 The benefits of exercise are 18:39 cumulative. They add up throughout the day. 18:41 When we speak speak about 30 minutes every day, 18:44 you can do five minutes here, 18:45 10 minutes there, then 15 minutes, 18:48 until it adds up to 30 minutes. 18:50 All forms of physical activity 18:52 protect against some cancers. That's really the 18:54 take-home message. Do something, be active. 18:58 Cancer of the bowel, the colon--there's powerful 19:03 cancer protection, if you're physically active. 19:06 Keep that in mind. 19:07 How does exercise influence cancer? 19:09 It actually impacts in many the same ways 19:13 as obesity, only it reverses those processes. 19:17 Exercise helps you lose weight. Exercise 19:21 keeps blood estrogen levels lower. Exercise keeps 19:25 IGF-1 levels lower. 19:28 Exercise does something else that's interesting. 19:30 I mentioned this connection with colon cancer. 19:32 Exercise speeds up transit time 19:35 throughout the intestines, and the bowels work better. 19:39 If the bowels work better, 19:41 and if there are carcinogens in them, 19:43 it's moved through quicker. 19:45 There's less exposure to the bowel wall. 19:47 You say, "Wait a minute. I'm not eating any carcinogens." 19:51 Let me just tell you one of the most shocking things 19:54 about carcinogens in the bowel. 19:56 The very bile your liver makes helps digest 20:00 fatty foods. 20:01 (It actually doesn't digest, but 20:03 technically emulsifies, or helps it to mix 20:06 with the intestinal contents.) The bile 20:08 is made by the liver, stored in the gallbladder. 20:10 That bile is converted 20:13 into carcinogenic compounds in the colon. It's most 20:18 likely to be converted into large amounts of carcinogens 20:21 if you're eating a lot of animal products. 20:24 If you're eating plant products, that process 20:26 is limited significantly. 20:29 That brings us to our next topic, 20:31 what kind of foods we eat. That's 20:33 the "F" in LifeStart, which is very important. 20:36 Researchers are telling us we should limit our consumption of 20:39 energy-dense foods. Examples are deserts, 20:43 soft drinks, pastries, fast foods. You get the message. 20:47 The opposite of calorie- dense foods are fruits, 20:51 whole grains, and vegetables. 20:53 Processed foods tend to be more energy-dense 20:56 than fresh foods. 20:57 Make those fresh foods your friends. 20:59 Calorie-dense foods are feeding that epidemic 21:03 of weight gain. 21:05 Do you see see how that all fits together? 21:07 Let's look more at some specific 21:10 dietary choices that can make a difference 21:12 as as far as you getting the upper hand, 21:15 never developing cancer in the first place. 21:18 Let's talk about a good fat. 21:21 If you've heard my series "The Brain Health Revolution," 21:24 you heard me touting the benefits of omega-3 fat. 21:27 They're great for your brain and have cancer- 21:31 preventive properties. 21:32 Did you know, men, that you can decrease your risk 21:35 of aggressive prostate cancer, by increasing your amount 21:39 of omega-3 fat intake? 21:40 You're saying, "I'm heading right over the fish market." 21:43 I recommend you get your omega-3 fats 21:46 from something that doesn't have the heavy metal toxins, 21:50 often found in the tissue of fish. 21:52 I recommend you get it right from the source. 21:54 Fish do not make omega-3 fats, 21:57 but only concentrate the fats from plant sources. 22:00 You can get it from plants, or 22:02 flax seed (you have to grind the flax seed 22:05 to get the the benefit of the omega-3 fat). 22:09 Get it from walnuts. 22:10 Get it from soybeans. They are a modest source 22:13 of omega-3 fat. Eat those whole plant foods, 22:17 get those omega-3 fats. 22:19 They will help you get the upper hand 22:22 when it comes to preventing cancer 22:24 naturally. In fact, researchers are telling us 22:28 to focus your attention on plant foods. 22:31 Some specific recommendations expert groups are giving us are: 22:42 That means no white bread. 22:44 It doesn't mean you can never eat it. 22:47 If you understand how powerful fiber and 22:52 phytochemicals (plant chemicals) are in preventing cancer, 22:55 you'll do what I did at one point in my life. 22:58 I had become a vegetarian, eating a lot of meat and 23:01 living the average American lifestyle. 23:03 I got serious about this as a young adult. 23:06 After I became a vegetarian, I was still eating 23:10 some refined grain products. I 23:12 was raised in an Italian home. We had a lot of white pasta. 23:15 When I started learning the science, 23:17 the health-giving properties of 23:19 fiber and phytochemicals, 23:21 I'd look at that white pasta and say, 23:24 "Why would I want to fill my stomach with this, 23:26 when I could eat the whole grain variety?" 23:28 That whole grain pasta didn't taste very good at first. 23:32 Once I got used to it, I preferred the whole grain pasta. 23:38 Are you catching the message? 23:39 If you haven't heard it before, if you haven't 23:41 heard my seminar on "Changing Bad Habits for Good," 23:44 we can develop new enjoyments. Don't shy away 23:48 from the optimal cancer preventive program. 23:51 Don't say, "I just couldn't live like that. 23:53 I wouldn't enjoy life at all! 23:55 I'd rather die of cancer early." 23:57 You can develop new enjoyments. 24:00 You can develop an enjoyment for those whole grains. 24:03 Listen to one of the recommendations: 24:10 Eat the starchy ones, too, but the whole grains, 24:14 their whole form. "Whole plant foods eaten whole," 24:17 as some of my friends like to say. 24:19 With the other vegetables, get 24:24 five servings of non-starchy vegetables and fruits 24:28 each day. Also, 24:34 This will go a long way toward preventing 24:36 cancer. The research is very clear. 24:38 It makes a difference. 24:39 You eat these phytochemically-rich 24:42 things, and you are eating an anti-cancer diet. 24:46 Stock up on the legumes, the beans, vegetables, 24:50 and whole fruits. These are powerful 24:53 foods in preventing cancer. How do they work? 24:56 Are you aware that some of the 24:58 phytochemicals (the plant chemicals) 25:00 found in the whole plants 25:03 actually have the ability to detoxify carcinogens? 25:07 If you eat a cancer-producing compound, those 25:10 plant chemicals actually get in there and destroy 25:13 that carcinogen. Plant foods also 25:17 boost the health of the immune system. 25:19 They can actually interfere 25:21 with the work cancer tries to do, 25:23 signaling the body to give it more blood. 25:25 Plant foods can interfere with that. 25:28 The experts are telling us to 25:35 Study after study 25:36 shows connections between eating more meat, 25:39 and more cancer. 25:42 The message is pretty simple. In the food department, 25:45 we want to be plant eaters. The optimal diet is really a 25:49 whole plant foods diet. 25:53 It's powerful. 25:54 One other thing that comes up in all the recommendations is 25:58 the emphasis on avoiding alcoholic beverages. 26:02 In the World Cancer Research Fund report, 26:05 it talks about limiting alcoholic drinks. 26:08 They're being very gentle. Many expert groups 26:12 say if you're serious about decreasing your cancer risk 26:14 as much as possible, 26:15 you have got to leave the alcohol off. 26:18 A large data set has been generated by the 26:22 study known as the European 26:24 Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition, 26:27 abbreviated EPIC. 26:28 It's been found convincingly that 26:30 any amount of alcohol consumption 26:32 increases the risk of cancer. The experts 26:35 are telling us to leave that off, 26:38 if you want to lower your risk of cancer optimally. 26:42 A couple of other problems are worth 26:45 noting. If you're stocking up on salty or salt- 26:48 preserved foods, these are not your friends. 26:51 The other thing may seem to go without saying, 26:54 saying, but moldy cereals and legumes 26:57 can contain carcinogenic substances. 27:01 I do enjoy peanut butter, but we do need to be careful. 27:05 Many producers are not ensuring that all those 27:10 peanuts are free from mold. 27:12 It's probably best to make your own. 27:14 The molding peanuts have a particularly nasty 27:18 compound called aflatoxin, which is a carcinogen. 27:23 Dietary supplements are not recommended, 27:26 but one that is would be vitamin D. 27:29 Vitamin D can decrease the risk of a number of cancers, 27:32 such as prostate, colon, breast, and lung cancer. 27:35 Get out in the sun. Don't burn, don't get too much. 27:39 If you can't get enough sunshine to make enough 27:41 vitamin D, and you've had your blood checked, 27:43 take a supplement. There's a lot we can do 27:46 to prevent cancer naturally. 27:48 Hopefully, you've enjoyed these high points. 27:50 There are more great resources on our Website, 27:52 lifestartseminars.com. 27:54 You can get personalized coaching help in many 27:57 regions of the country, the world. 27:59 You can get our free e books, 28:01 our free study guide that goes with this. 28:03 You can get more of my presentations, 28:05 more of our studies.
