  1. n Short ;
    By heating whatever food, hundreds of different mutagenic substances originate. The more protein that food contains, the more mutagenics originate due to cooking etc. If we only live long enough, these substances eventually will cause cancer.
    The activity of antioxidants is very limited ; not even large amounts of all the (semi-) antioxidants in the world combined can disarm a substantial part of these mutagenics.
    The only way to effectively prevent cancer, is to prevent absorption of mutagenic substances from prepared food. Consume as little prepared food (proteinous prepared food in particular) and as much fruits and some fresh raw animal food regularly (like sashimi or fresh raw egg yolk, requiring an hour rest to digest by the way).

    Mutagenics in Prepared Food
    Consuming prepared meat increases the risk of contracting lung cancer (1), breast cancer (2), prostate cancer (3), and colon cancer (4).
    This only means that prepared meat contains more mutagenic substances than prepared food. Of course vegetarians get cancer too, though in general a little less (5), because vegetarians do consume prepared food, but no prepared meat.
    Prepared vegetables contain less mutagenic substances than prepared meat. Therefore, 2 out of 3 scientific investigations show that consuming prepared Soya beans instead of prepared meat, causes less cancer. (6) And therefore these scientists conclude that ’soy is protective against cancer’. This however only means that, on an average basis, soy (and other vegetables) causes less cancer than prepared food.
    Generally, consuming vegetables ‘proves to be protective against cancer’, simply because consuming vegetables is less cancerous than consuming other prepared foods.
    However ; all prepared foods (including vegetables) contain mutagenic substances. Foods increasing cancer risk the most, are prepared foods containing higher quantities of protein (like meat (7) and fish (8)), most fat (9), cholesterol (like eggs) (10) or iodide (like sea-fish, crustaceans and mollusks) (11).
    Food that has been intensively heated, smoked (12), or salted (13), also highly increases cancer risk.
    All prepared foods also contain non-HCA damaged protein, which is partly decomposed in the blood, originating free radicals. All prepared foods therefore will eventually cause cancer, ….if you live long enough.
    Whenever again a scientific investigation proves that consuming vegetables is ‘protective’; remember that this only proves that a murderer is more criminal than a petty thief. And as releasing a petty thief does not prevent crime, consuming vegetables does not prevent cancer.
    Vegetables are as healthy as ‘healthy cigarettes containing 50% less mutagenic substances’.
    Prepared vegetables are less cancerous than prepared meat, but to really lower cancer risk you should consume as little of all prepared foods. Consume as much fruits, some fresh raw animal food (like sashimi) and munch-foods to satisfy your cravings.
    Anti-oxidants
    We don’t like to change our diet. We rather believe that supplements or vegetables will provide us with substances that protect us against cancer. Unfortunately, such substances do not, and never will exist.
    Many ‘experts’ say that anti-oxidants are ‘good’, preventing cancer, and oxidative radicals are ‘bad’. But that is nonsense. The only reason why they do so, is because you can make lots of money by selling antioxidants to people who are afraid of getting cancer.
    Stating that radicals are bad substances is criminal and misleading ; to obtain energy from sugars for example, these sugars first have to be oxidized, requiring oxidative radicals. Oxygen radicals also kill bacteria and clean up drug-residues, and are needed to compose hormones, to keep the veins flexible and to regulate blood pressure. Without oxygen radicals, you can’t live !!!
    However, if external radicals enter the body, these radicals can damage enzymes, organs or cell-DNA/RNA, and cause cancer.
    By nature, our body uses antioxidants to prevent damage by natural radicals. But though antioxidants can actively bind to radicals, they can never ever disarm all dangerous exogenous radicals.
    Where do those external radicals come from ?
    From inhaling polluted air and from consuming prepared foods, containing damaged proteins or too much minerals.
    Most damaged protein cannot easily be decomposed by enzymes in the digestive tract. Both decomposed- and partly-decomposed proteins are absorbed into the lymph and the blood. And in the blood radicals and enzymes decompose all substances that shouldn’t be there, step by step. Decomposing these substances, very often radicals originate. And sometimes these radicals damage cells before they are completely decomposed.
    Can consuming more antioxidants prevent cancer ?
    Only if your body has too little antioxidants at its disposal. Though toxic HCA originate oxidative radicals (14), and

  2. If only it were that simple – we could all avoid cancer. Sadly it isn’t.
    There are no foods or drinks proven to prevent cancer, and no food or drink that is known to cause cancer either.
    Sorry but that’s the bald truth and anyone who tells you different is speaking from their own fears and prejudices. It’s often less scary for people who haven’t had cancer to ‘blame the victim’ – to put cancer down to avoidable lifestyle factors like bad diet – than it is for them to accept that cancer is a largely random disease that can strike anybody at any time.
    A healthy diet is always important;you will feel better and be healthier and if you do get cancer you will be better able to deal with treatment – but it won’t stop you from getting cancer.
    I once thought my healthy, largely organic vegan diet – coupled with the facts that I exercised regularly and have never smoked – would help protect me from cancer, I got cancer anyway.

  3. Broccoli is considered really good at preventing cancer.

  4. Over cooked meat on the BBQ,,,,if it is chared too much it can be Carcinogenic.
