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.
