"Hydrogenation"
  • Hydrogenation
  • Industry's Best Kept Secret
  • the process of hydrogenation converts fat into a type of cellulose that is not unlike plastic.
92
 
93
"`Once the oil has..."
  • `Once the oil has gone through the process of hydrogenation, it is no longer an oil but a plastic, a celluloid or perhaps I may stretch a point and call it a fat’
94
(J. H. Tobe, Margarine and Your Heart Attack, pp. 15, 8, 39, 1)
  • « I maintain that hydrogenation is more dangerous than drugs, more dangerous than sprays and more dangerous than chemical fertilizers. I clearly emphasize that hydrogenation is a greater danger to our health and to our well-being than any other factor in our society. »
95
"The heating of the oil..."
  • The heating of the oil ruins its original character, with destruction of all vitamins and mineral factors as well as an alteration of proteins.


  • The essential fatty acids are destroyed, or changed into abnormal toxic fatty acids antagonistic to essential fatty acids. The synthetic fat forms new molecular structures unacceptable to the human physiology.
96
"`A"
  • `A "nickel" catalyst often used in hydrogenation, called "Rayney's Nickel", is actually 50% nickel and 50% aluminium. Remnants of both metals remain in products containing hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, and are eaten by people.
97
"`The industry is equally..."
  • `The industry is equally hesitant to publicize the information that already exists in research journals on this topic.


  • `Hydrogenation randomly attacks double bonds within oils. It destroys [Omega 3 essential fatty acids] very rapidly, and [Omega 6 essential fatty acids] only slightly more slowly.

There is little or no scientific evidence of ergogenic efficacy of these herbs, there are other concerns:
  • There is little or no regulatory control of these products.
  • Lack of standardization and/or purity.
  • Possible mislabeling of ingredients leading to positive doping tests (Ros et al., 1999).
  • Potential for serious side effects when used with prescribed medications (Izzo & Ernst, 2001).
132
There is little or no scientific evidence of ergogenic efficacy of these herbs, there are other concerns:
  • Potentially fatal side effects, including liver failure associated with Kava-Kava (Kraft et al., 2001) and cardiovascular dysfunction associated with ephedra (Skinner et al., 2000).
  • Possible decrease in performance with large doses of herbal extracts containing caffeine and other substances that may cause dizziness and other symptoms of central nervous system dysfunction.

153
Chlorophyll
  • All green plants also contain chlorophyll, the light-collecting molecule. Chlorophyll and its derivatives are very effective at binding polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, heterocyclic amines, aflatoxin and other hydrophobic molecules.


  • There is so much compelling evidence for anti-carcinogenic effects of chlorophyll.
154
Phytochemicals
  •   Flavonoids, carotenoids, and organosulfur compounds, are antioxidants and prevent free radical damage by radiation and some chemotherapeutic agents in experimental systems.


  •   These phytochemicals induce apoptosis in cancer cells; they may have a potential role in adjuvant cancer therapy and may protect normal cells from the acute and long-term effects of free radicals produced in the course of treatment.
155
Phytochemicals
  • Phytochemicals are substances found in plant foods like fruits and vegetables.


  • There are hundreds of phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables.


  • Research into their role in lowering cancer risk is just beginning, but show much promise in lowering cancer risk.
156
Phytochemicals
  •  Some phytochemicals are antioxidants, protecting against harmful cell damage from oxidation.


  •  Some phytochemicals lower cancer risk in different ways.


  •  The best recommendation is to eat a variety of fruits and vegetables.
157
Beta-Carotene & Vitamin A
  •  Beta-carotene appears to lower cancer risk, especially lung cancer. The body can convert beta-carotene to vitamin A.


  •  Vitamin A itself appears to lower risk of most cancers. However, unlike beta-carotene, vitamin A is toxic if taken in excessive amounts.
158
Vitamin C
  •  Vitamin C may also reduce risk of some types of cancer, including stomach and esophagus cancer
  •  Vitamin C is found in many fruits and some vegetables, such as citrus fruits, peaches, berries, strawberries, melons, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers & greens.
159
Vitamin E
  • Vitamin E may also lower risk of stomach and esophageal cancers.


160
Selenium
  • Selenium is a mineral which may lower risk of colon, breast and other cancers.


  • Foods rich in selenium include wheat germ, bran, tuna fish, onions, tomatoes, and broccoli, depending on soil grown.
161
Dietary Fiber
  • Evidence exists that dietary fiber may lower risk of colon cancer.


  • Two types of fiber, water-soluble fiber and water-insoluble fiber.


  • Water-soluble fibers may lower cholesterol. Water-insoluble fibers may lower cancer risk.
162
Water-Insoluble Fiber
  • Insoluble fiber absorbs water, lowering the concentration of potential carcinogens in the intestine.


  • Insoluble fiber speeds up the movement of waste material in the intestine, reducing the amount of time carcinogens are exposed to the colon
163
Barley reduce cancer risks
    • Barley grains contains one of the highest concentrations of melatonin.


    • Now there is no scientific douth that Melatonin reduces cancer cell growth.

164
Probiotics
  • There is a solid theoretical basis for why probiotics should help prevent cancer, especially colon cancer, and even reverse cancer.
  • Probiotics produce short chain fatty acids in the colon, which acidify the environment. Lower colon pH is associated with lower incidence of colon cancer.
  • Probiotic bacteria reduce the level of procarcinogenic enzymes such as beta-glucuronidase, nitroreductase, and azoreductase.


165
"Diet and supplements for cancer..."
  • Diet and supplements for cancer servivors
166
Flax seed
  • Is an excellent source of dietary fiber, omega 3 fat (as alpha-linolenic acid), and lignans. The lignans in flax seed are metabolized in the digestive tract to enterodiol and enterolactone, which have estrogenic activity.


167
Fish Oil Studies...
  • Nutritional supplements with added fish oils  combined with Megace during treatment to promote weight gain and muscle protein and enhance appetite


  • Fish oils use in enhancing cancer therapy and lessening side effects
168
Garlic and onion
  • Studies on progress investigating cancer prevention, antibacterial, or antifungal effects of garlic - no conclusive evidence to date.


  • Garlic and onion contain allyl sulphides which inhibit cancer cell growth.



169
Curcumin
  • Curcumin, the yellow pigment in turmeric and a potent anti-inflammatory and cancer-preventive antioxidant in experimental systems.


  • it is widely used in Asian countries; epidemiological studies have attributed the low rate of colon cancer in these countries to the high consumption of curcumin.
170
Silibinin
  • Silibinin is a product of milk thistle (a plant in the same family as artichoke) and similar to sylimarin, known for powerful antioxidant activity.


  • Silibinin induces apoptosis in prostate cancer cells, suggesting a potential role in the control of the disease.


171
Resveratrol
  • More recent work reveals that resveratrol has potential in cancer therapy by inducing apoptosis.


  • Studies on cancer cells from human breast, pancreas, and colon show that resveratrol triggers apoptosis in these cells by controlling the proapoptotic protein Bax and activating apoptotic caspases.


172
Green Tea
  • Its protection against free radical damage is considered one of the factors responsible for the lower rate of free radical–associated pathological conditions seen in populations in Asia.


  • Green tea extract, and more effectively, its major compound (–)epigallocatechin-3 gallate (EGCG), prevents apoptosis in normal cells exposed to free radical–producing agents while inducing apoptosis in tumor cells by the activating caspase.
173
Fenugreek
174
Black seed
  • Chemopreventive potential of volatile oil from black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) seeds against rat colon carcinogenesis.


  • Extract of Nigella sativa "inhibits cancer and endothelial cell progression, in breast cancer, prostate cancer and melanoma cells .


  • Black seed contains antioxidant phytochemicals that strongly prevent the formation of free radicals and also quench them after they are formed.
175
Saffron
  • Saffron and its components had surprisingly strong anticancer activity.


  • Scientists have also shown that extracts of saffron inhibit cell growth of human tumor cells.


  • Crocinis a promising saffron compound to be assayed as a cancer therapeutic agent.
