y against oxidative damage which may lead to additional mutations Eating organically grown food is recommended since most of the soil has been sprayed with pesticides. A Hebrew University study revealed a drop of 30% in breast cancer, once DDT pesticides were outlawed in Israel. Studies by Dr. Davis at the Strang Cancer Research Laboratory in New York demonstrated that DDT-like pesticides cause the body to produce a carcinoma-linked type of estrogen (16 alpha hydroxyestone).instead of natural estrogen.A study of Japanese women living in Japan, who regularly ate soy based-protein had a lower cancer level than their American counterparts. Genistein, found exclusively in soy products. have been shown to reduce hot flashes and night sweats and hormonal fluctuations in older women.Soy proteins play a role similar to the SERM family of hormonelike drugs that compete with estradiol for receptor sites. By blocking estradiol from binding to cell receptors, cell growth is not stimulated. Estrogen stimulation may cause painful, swollen breast sensations before menstruation. Continued breast stimulation by estrogen on a monthly basis may increase the risk of breast cancer, especially as women age. Even though soy-based proteins are the most recommended protein source for cancer patients, it is essential that cancer patients have protein in their diet. Other forms of protein include nuts, beans, fish, organic meats and eggs. Junk and processed foods must be avoided. When sugar is refined, all the vitamins, minerals and enzymes needed for sugar metabolism by the body, are eliminated. Sugar- refined foods have been shown to lower the immune system for several hours after intake. Calcium will also be stripped from bones to alkalinize sugar acidity in the blood. Sugar substitutes are suggested such as blackstrap molasses, pure maple syrup, and fruit sweeteners to replace sugar. Whole wheat and rye flours are preferable over white flo...
