Welcome loyal viewers
to Healthy Living
on Supreme Master
Television.
According to the World
Health Organization,
cancer is one of
the leading causes of death
in the world.
Each year
over 12 million people
across the globe
are diagnosed
with cancer
and 7.6 million
succumb to the disease.
The numbers are projected
to continue rising,
with an estimated
12 million deaths
by 2030.
Today we have the honor
to share the fourth part
of an eight part series
featuring excerpts from
The Cancer Project’s
“Eating Right
for Cancer Survival,”
a two-set DVD
of presentations
by esteemed nutrition
researcher and author
Dr. Neal Barnard, MD
that is a companion
to the book The Cancer
Survivor’s Guide
written by Dr. Barnard
and registered dietician
Jennifer Reilly.
Dr. Barnard, a vegan,
is the president
of The Cancer Project,
a US-based non-profit
organization advancing
cancer prevention and
survival through
distribution of
information on nutrition
and research.
Since its founding in 2004,
the Project has strived
to promote the vegan diet
as the answer to cancer.
The Cancer Project is
a part of
the Physicians Committee
for Responsible Medicine,
a group created by
Dr. Barnard in 1985
that is comprised of
physicians and
concerned citizens
in the US wishing to
improve public health.
The Committee is also
actively involved in
raising awareness
of the benefits
of a plant-based diet
through such projects
as the 21-Day
Vegan Kickstart program
and seeking to amend
federal nutrition guidelines.
Dr. Barnard has served as
the principal investigator
on many clinical studies
examining the links
between diet and health
and his work has been
published in top scientific
and medical journals.
He is often interviewed
by the national media
in the US
for his perspectives
on important issues
in nutrition, health
and medicine.
We are now pleased
to show
Dr. Barnard’s presentation
“Discovering
Dairy Alternatives”
a chapter from the
“Eating Right for
Cancer Survival” DVD.
Discovering
Dairy Alternatives
from the DVD
“Eating Right
for Cancer Survival”
Welcome,
thanks for joining us.
In today’s program
we are going
to focus on milk.
Most of us grew up
with the idea that
dairy products were healthy
but cancer researchers
are showing us a side
of dairy products that
might really surprise you.
Starting with,
“What’s in milk?”
Well if you take
a typical glass of milk
and you send it to a lab
the first thing you discover
is that about 49%
of the calories
are nothing but fat.
And most of this is what
we call saturated fat,
some people call it
“bad fat.”
That’s the fat that causes
your cholesterol level
to rise.
It’s also associated
in some studies
with a higher risk of
developing breast cancer.
So that’s why
a lot of people are saying
well I don’t want
to have whole fat milk,
I want to skim that away
and have skim
or non-fat milk, right?
Well, let’s say
I send that to the lab.
The biggest nutrient in it,
the biggest source of
its calories about 55%, is
sugar, lactose sugar.
That's where
most of the calories
in skim milk come from.
Now if you have
lactose intolerance,
meaning that you get
a real belly ache
from consuming milk,
you know all about lactose,
but for people who don't,
you have no need
for this at all and that's
the primary nutrient in it.
In addition to that,
there are proteins in milk.
And these proteins
for some people
trigger arthritis pains
or allergies,
or for some folks,
even allergies
and diabetes researchers
are showing
that early exposure
to those dairy proteins
might be the cause,
or at least a contributor
to the kind of diabetes
that starts in childhood.
Well what about its link
to cancer?
Researchers have known
for a long time, that
countries that consume
a lot of dairy products,
like Switzerland or Sweden,
the other
Scandinavian countries,
European countries;
they have a lot more
prostate cancer
compared to other countries
where dairy is not
a big part of the diet.
I'm talking about China,
Japan or Thailand.
Dairy is not a big thing
in those countries,
at least traditionally.
Well, if it's true that
a higher intake of milk
could in some way
be associated with
a higher risk of
prostate cancer,
then it ought to be true
in this country.
Let's say I compare men
who drink a lot of milk,
compare them
to the men who don't.
Is it true?
Do they really get
more prostate cancer?
At Harvard (University),
they did exactly that study.
It was called
the "Physicians
Health Study".
It was about 21,000 men,
all of them were physicians,
everybody’s healthy,
nobody has cancer.
They tracked their diet,
and then they watched
how the men did
as time went on.
And it turned out,
that those men who were
the big dairy consumers,
I'm talking about
a couple of servings
per day, which is not
out of the range
of what people do.
Their risk
of prostate cancer
was 34% higher
compared to the men who
generally avoided milk.
They did another study
called
the "Health Professionals
Follow-up Study".
It was health professionals,
but not physicians.
It was pharmacists
and other kinds of
health professionals.
But they found
exactly the same thing,
that those men who were
the big dairy consumers,
a couple of servings
per day, had in this case,
about a 60% higher risk
of developing
prostate cancer.
Well, what's this about?
Why should milk do this?
Well, think about it.
What's milk's job?
What's, what's
the purpose of milk?
Okay, it's there
to dunk cookies in.
It's there splash
on my cereal. No, no.
What milk is for,
is to help a calf grow big.
Right?
That's what it's for.
It's to help rapid growth.
So, the cow makes the milk,
the baby cow,
the calf consumes it
and that calf is going
to grow very rapidly.
Now, that's for two reasons.
One reason is there are
nutrients in the milk
that support growth.
There is a lot of fat,
there is a lot of sugar,
the lactose sugar,
there is a lot of protein.
But the other thing is,
there are hormones in milk,
there are growth factors
in milk and consuming it
causes these things
to change
inside a man’s body.
And one
that cancer researchers
are really zeroing in on
is called IGF-1.
I don't know if
you’ve ever heard of this,
Insulin-like
Growth Factor number 1.
IGF-1
it's a mouthful of a name,
but all it really means
“Insulin-like,” means
it's like insulin,
meaning it helps sugar
to get into the cells,
out of the blood,
into the cells.
Growth factor means
it is a growth factor.
If I take IGF-1
in a test tube,
I add cancer cells to it,
they grow like crazy.
That's true
for breast cancer cells,
that's true
for prostate cancer cells.
So, let's say I stick a needle
in a man’s arm,
and I measure
how much IGF-1
he's got in his blood,
and then I start feeding him
a couple of glasses
of milk every day.
Or let's say it's a woman,
and I feed her a couple
of glasses milk every day.
What you find,
is over the course
of the next several weeks,
the amount of IGF-1
in the blood rises.
So this is just like a calf,
the calf drinks the milk,
and this IGF-1 is built
in the blood, and it causes
the growth of tissues.
Now growth is a good
thing at certain times, but
it's not such a good thing
when you are an adult,
and you've got a cancer cell
waiting somewhere,
growth of that cancer cell
is a very dangerous thing.
So, in an international
comparisons,
when we look at who has
the highest risk of cancer,
it's those countries that
have a high dairy intake
with regard to
prostate cancer,
and a high IGF-1
may be the reason for it.
But other forms of cancer
seem to be related to this
as well.
There is some speculation
that breast cancer
may or may not be linked
to milk consumption.
And the evidence is
as follows.
Some studies show
higher risk,
some show lower risk,
but when people have
looked at IGF-1 levels,
I mean,
I draw a blood sample,
and I look at what it is now,
and your risk of
getting cancer:
the higher IGF-1
is associated with
a higher risk
of breast cancer.
Cancer of the ovary
has been looked at as well.
And here, I think
we need more research,
but there is some suggestion
that there is a higher risk
among milk drinkers;
higher risk
of ovarian cancers.
For colon cancer
it’s probably the reverse.
Calcium seems
to help prevent cancer.
So milk drinkers seem to
have a little bit lower risk
of colon cancer.
But the point is,
there are plenty of
healthy sources of calcium,
you don't need
to drink milk for it, so
you can get the protection
without the risky factors.
Now you might be saying,
"Well, wait a minute, so
you’re kind of suggesting
here that milk is not
a really great thing
in your diet."
Well, let me be clear
about this,
I think babies need milk,
they need mother's milk.
A baby should have
breast milk,
and we should do
what we can to
help kids to be breast fed.
After the age of weaning,
there is no physical
requirement for milk at all.
It's strictly a cultural thing.
But, “Where am I going
to get my calcium?”
Well, a couple of points.
The first is:
researchers have looked
at the countries
where people consume
a lot of milk, you think
those people are
never going to have
a hip fracture because of
all that milk they’re getting,
and bringing calcium
into their diet.
You know what?
It's just the opposite.
The countries that get
the highest milk intake,
have the highest risk
of hip fracture.
The countries
with low intake of milk
and relatively low
calcium intakes,
actually do better.
They have stronger bones,
and have less risk.
Within this country,
at Harvard (University),
the "Nurses’ Health Study,"
have you heard
about this study?
The "Nurses’ Health Study"
has been going on
for many, many years,
and tracking women
over 18 years, they found
that those who got
the most milk in their diet,
had no protection
whatsoever
from bone breaks.
It didn't seem to makes
any difference at all.
So, there are some things
that you can do
to protect your bones.
First is,
if you got calcium
in your bones now,
let's keep it, let's not lose it.
Well, how do I do that?
Well, avoiding
animal protein helps.
Did you know that?
Animal protein causes
the body to lose calcium.
Let me say that again!
Animal protein,
I'm talking about meat,
I'm talking about eggs,
even the protein
in dairy products,
animal protein causes
your body to lose calcium.
Where is it going?
It's in the blood,
it's going out
through the kidney
and into the urine.
It's leaving the body.
Sodium does the same thing.
A high salt diet,
potato chips, salt that
we add in the kitchen,
that does the same thing,
you lose calcium.
Caffeine does it too,
not the occasional cup
of coffee, but if you are
a big coffee enthusiast,
as some of you may be,
ah, a high caffeine intake
is associated with some
loss of calcium as well.
Exercise is, you know,
give your bones
a reason to live.
Exercise is really the best
friend of your bones.
If you compare
a tennis player, you look
at their dominant arm,
they've got
better bone density
in that arm
than the opposite arm.
So, exercise really does
help strengthen the bones.
And oddly enough,
vegetables and fruits do
as well.
Vegetables and fruits,
some of them have calcium,
some of them don't.
But the vegetables
and fruits seem to help
build up the boney matrix
and help the bones
stay strong.
Sunlight is also important.
Sunlight gives you
vitamin D,
so you’re out in the Sun.
Sun hits your skin,
vitamin D is made
in the skin,
and it travels around
through the body,
and as it's activated,
it helps your intestinal
tract, pull calcium in
from the foods
that you’re eating.
So sunlight is going
to help you as well.
Well, are there foods,
that aren't
from dairy products that
have calcium in them,
because I'm going
to need some calcium.
Well, let me give you
two words,
"greens" and "beans."
The greens means broccoli
and all of its cousins,
they have lots of calcium
in them.
Except for spinach,
spinach has lots of calcium,
but it's very selfish,
it won't let you have it.
The calcium in spinach
is not very absorbable.
But the other greens have
a lot of calcium in them,
and the absorption rate
is actually higher than
the absorption percentage
from milk.
And the other group is
the bean group.
Beans have a lot of
calcium in them,
you know they have
soluble fiber in them.
They've got iron in them,
they've got protein in them,
they've even got
some omega-3 fatty acids
in them.
Beans don't have
a good lobby group,
but they've got all kinds
of other good things.
So the "greens"
and the "beans",
remember them.
Now, if you really
want to have
a huge calcium intake,
you don't need this, but
you can, have you seen
these fortified
orange juice products,
fortified soymilk,
they’re adding calcium
to lots of things,
breakfast cereals,
you don't need that
huge amount of calcium,
but it's there if you want it.
The point I’m making is
that researchers are
starting to point a finger
at dairy products, and
teasing out the risks
that it might pose us.
You don't need it.
There are plenty of
good calcium sources,
and really good ways
to get away from that
and to bring the calcium
into your body
and to keep it there.
And as you replace
the dairy products
with healthier choices,
you'll keep strong bones,
and you'll keep the rest
of your body healthy
as well. Thank you!
