LINKS BETWEEN DIET & CANCER
LINKS BETWEEN DIET AND CANCER
CERVICAL CANCER-
Abnormal cervical smears have been linked with a low dietary intake of Vit. C. There is thought to be a link between smoking, low Vit. C levels & cervical cancer.
Women with cervical cancer may be low in Vit. B6. Smoking depletes the body’s reserves of B Vitamins.
Levels of Folate, a B Vit. Have been found to be low in patients with cervical cancer. The proliferation of pre-cancerous cells can be reduced by Folate supplementation. Alcohol can destroy some of the B Vitamins such as Thiamin & Folate.
High intake of fruits & vegetables are protective against many forms of cancer.
SMOKING is related not only to lung cancer, also to cancers of the mouth, throat, oesophagus, pancreas, bladder & cervix.
Poor levels of Vit. C has been associated with cancer of the oesophagus & larynx. Both smoking & alcohol consumption deplete the body’s reserves of Vit. C.
A high intake of ALCOHOL has been linked to increased risks of cancers of the mouth, oesophagus, larynx, liver & pharynx.
Low intake of BETA CAROTENE have been linked with increased risks of cancer of the larynx, lung, stomach large bowel & bladder. Excessive consumption of alcohol can hamper its absorption.
DIETARY FIBRE may help to protect against all the “ Western “ cancers, i.e., cancers of the colon, rectum, prostate, uterus & breast. Vegetarians are less likely to contract cancer of the colon than meat eaters. A vegetarian diet is typically high in fibre, low in saturated fat & includes plenty of fruits & vegetables.
NITRATES & NITRITES, used to preserve some meat, react with food constituents to form NITROSAMINES in the stomach, which have been linked to cancer of the stomach.
A good intake of Vit. C may inhibit the formation of carcinogenic NITROSAMINES.
NITRATES & NITRITES are widely used in many smoked & salty foods such as bacon & cured meats.
In countries where the diet is high in smoked, pickled & salty foods, there is a high incidence of stomach cancer. Such a diet is usually6 also low in Vit. C.
CANCERS OF THE BREAST, WOMB & GALL BLADDER are more common among overweight people than their slimmer counterparts.
A Diet high in FAT is a significant factor in cancers of the colon & rectum.
I'm only a survivor. These are only some of the symptoms, as it can vary from person to person, as no 2 cancers behave alike. These information is given only as one can take precaution, not to alarm anyone.kindly ask your Dr.
