Why Might Vegetarians Have Less HPV?
"Why Might Vegetarians
Have Less HPV?" Cervical cancer is now considered a
sexually transmitted disease, originally suspected as such
as it was supposedly found less in nuns and
more in prostitutes, but now we have DNA fingerprinting
proof that virtually all cervical cancer is caused by a sexually transmitted virus,
human papilloma virus, which also causes cancers of the penis,
vagina, vulva, and throat.
HPV is considered a necessary,
but not sufficient cause of cancer. Most young women contract HPV,
but most don't get cervical cancer, because their immune systems
are able to clear out the virus. 70% of women clear the infection within
1 year and more than 90% within 2 years before the virus can
cause cancer, unless you're immuno-
compromised or something. Well, if that's the case, may
maybe those with particularly strong immune systems
might clear the virus even faster. That's what may be behind this new
study that found that vegetarian women appear to have significantly
lower infection rates with HPV.
It's one of many studies reporting
that vegetarians have lower risk of HPV infection thought to be because of the presence of more fruits
and vegetables in their diet, which are rich sources of
all sorts of good phytonutrients. So for example, if you take a bunch
of women with cancer-causing strains of HPV infecting
their cervix and follow them out,
and retest at 3 months, and then 9 months, while analyzing
their diets, what do you find? Higher levels of vegetable
consumption may cut the risk of HPV
persistence in half, double one's likelihood of clearing this
potentially cancer-causing infection. And "higher" levels just meant
like 2 or more servings a day! What do antioxidants in plants
have to do with viral diseases? Different antioxidants affect
different viruses in different ways, but against HPV…don't you know that electrophoretic
mobility super shift assays showed "irrespective of enhanced c-fos
expression, c-jun was phosphorylated and became primarily
heterodimerized with fra-1", "which was also induced
after PDTC incubation"…I mean duh! I had to read this
paper like 5 times! Long story short: antioxidants
appear to suppress the activation of critical segments
of the virus' DNA.
Maybe that's why smearing green tea
on genital warts – also caused by HPV – has been found so effective
in clearing them. In terms of preventing cervical cancer:
through their role as antioxidants, pytonutrients like lutein, found
in dark green leafy vegetables; and lycopene, the red pigment in
tomatoes, may decrease viral load, thereby decreasing persistence
and progression to disease. Whereas the protective associations
may be due to their antioxidant properties. They have all sorts of other wonderful
effects, so who knows… who cares! Bottom line: "higher
consumption of vegetables may decrease risk
of HPV persistence," which may help explain
why this 2013 study found vegan women
have significantly lower rates of all female cancers combined,
including cancer of the cervix.

How Plant-Based to Lower IGF-1?
“How Plant-Based to Lower IGF-1?” Just a few days of walking
and eating whole healthy plant foods, and our IGF-1 levels drop low enough
to reverse cancer cell growth. What if we stick with it? Going to some Pritikin spa and getting
healthy for two weeks is one thing, but what about long-term? Does your IGF-1 start to creep back up
to standard American diet levels again? No. Here’s after 11 days,
and it just gets better. People eating plant-based diets for 14
years have half the IGF-1 in their bodies, and more than twice the amount of
IGF-binding protein than those on the Standard American Diet. We know decreasing animal product
consumption decreases our IGF-1 levels, but how low do you got to go? How plant-based does our diet need to get? Well, let’s look at IGF-1 levels
in meat-eaters, versus vegetarians, versus vegans.
The aim of this study was to determine
whether a plant-based diet is associated with a lower circulating level of IGF-1,
compared with a meat-eating or lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet. And this is what they found. Only the vegans had
significantly lower levels. And the same relationship
found with IGF-1 binding capacity. Only the vegans were significantly
more able to bind up excess IGF-1 in their bloodstreams. This was a study on women. What about vegan men? They found the same thing. So, even though vegan men tend to have
significantly higher testosterone levels than both vegetarians and meat-eaters— which can be a risk factor
for prostate cancer, the reason plant-based diets appear to
reverse the progression of prostate cancer may be due to how low
their IGF-1 levels drop. So, more testosterone, but less cancer. The bottom line is that male or female, just eating vegetarian
did not seem to cut it.
It looks like to get a significant drop
in cancer-promoting growth hormone levels, one apparently has to eliminate
animal products altogether. The good news is that, given what we now know about IGF-1, we can predict that “a low-fat vegan diet
may be profoundly protective with respect to [for example] risk for
postmenopausal breast cancer.”.

Did a vegan diet kill this baby?
"Did a Vegan Diet Kill This Baby?" “…Vegan couple whose baby
died of vitamin deficiency after being fed solely
on breast milk…” Uh, isn’t that what you’re
supposed to feed babies? Yes, but if you’re not
getting enough vitamin B12, then your baby’s not
getting enough B12. “Parents adopted lifestyle after watching
TV programme about butchered cows,” and ended up generating
headlines like this: “Vegans charged in death…
over death…after death… neglect…neglect and death…
and baby killing.” “Poll: did a vegan diet
kill the baby?” Why, yes it did. A non-B12-fortified vegan diet killed
that little girl, and she’s not the first. And if vegans don’t get their
act together and get their B12, she will not be the last..
