avoid cancer?

[retado]

lots of books on the topics, and prolix speeches like, "you want to increase telemorase and alpha-keto-bi-trans-dual cholestrol and lower alpha-cis cholestrol"
that is NOT useful

 how about you give me information that  is useful?
I want STUFF I can do and WHY  to do it

so avoid cancer

dont be fat( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22530540
get hormones in check
this site explains why low Test/high  estrogen causes cancer
http://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2008/12/destroying-the-myth-about-testosterone-replacement-prostate-cancer/page-01
hint: estradiol causes cancer not by free radicals, by depurification

I can go to
McDougall’s Moments: Dietary Treatment of Cancer
https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/videos/mcdougalls-moments/dietary-treatment-of-cancer/

and he'll tell me that diet is what is going to cause and prevent/"cure" my cancer, because the food I eat everyday is how I expose my body to the enviroment

so he'll say
no dairy
no now high fat
no meat
eat fruit(some) veggies and starch based
here is his 10 day plan
https://www.drmcdougall.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/McDougall-Mealplan-Recipes.pdf
I can't find a list of ALL FOODS he alllows


I hate eating food that isnt YUMMY FOOD
rice cakes+fish?(as lots of bb's do) no thanks

so I use a vitamix shake
I thought I was ahead of my time, but I found this thread:

Found thread about vitamix and what to eat
http://www.peaktestosterone.com/forum/index.php?topic=1170.0


so I now eat
1lb broccoli
lots of reasons  http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=9
detox
lower cholestrol
contains kaempferol(prevent allergies)
The unique combination of antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and pro-detoxification components in broccoli make it a unique food in terms of cancer prevention


garlic clove
many reasons
http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=60
lower BP, prevent cancer, prevent CAD


red grapefruit(prevent/cure prostate issues)  have vit C and lycoplene
as talked about here
http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=25
or here
http://www.livescience.com/54746-grapefruit-nutrition.html

cranberries
many properties to Over the past 5 years, scientists have identified an increasing number of mechanisms that help explain the anti-cancer properties of cranberries. These mechanisms are now known to include: blocked expression of MMPs (matrix metalloproteinases); inhibition of ODC (ornithine decarboxylase enzymes); stimulation of QRs (quinone reductase enzymes); inhibition of CYP2C9s (Phase I detoxification enzymes); and triggering of apoptosis (programmed cell death) in tumor cells. The cancer-preventive benefits of cranberries are now known to extend to cancers of the breast, colon, lung, and prostate.

distilled water
in my daily shake(or 2)

I eat(not in shake)
variety of nuts)walnus/almonds/brazil
omega-3
eggwhites(protein and great source of lysine/proline to prevent heart disease)
mcdougall says NO EGGS, and while I hav no eggwhites, I need lysine/proline to prevent CAD, and keep my mscls/ so  eggwhites are ideal, no HCAs, no issues

I also take pillls
7+grams of vitamin C(over the course of 18 hours)
http://nutritionreview.org/2013/04/collagen-connection/
that site talks about why collagen(which needs vit C) prevents CAD

site about prevent cavities with vit C, k2, and clear debris(brush/waterpic)
http://www.westonaprice.org/holistic-healthcare/the-invisible-toothbrush/

I take pills
Mg
k2
vit C
variety of prostate herbs
DIM



so beyond the above, what else am I missing?

There is a lot of pseudo science out there in regards to cancer avoidance but I think the main thing is to:

Not Smoke
Avoid Processed Meats
Limit Heme Iron in diet
High Fiber
Whole Foods
Limit Red meats
Exercise Intensely
Wear sunscreen
Get the HPV vaccine prior to sexual activity
Maintain a healthy weight

great additons!
I limit iron AND  I give blood a few times a year(to both decrease iron AND make sure I'm not low on iron(Ive NEVER been low)
red meat has issues, some have to do with HCAs made from cooking as peak says
 common marinades will very significantly  reduce HCAs --http://www.peaktestosterone.com/BeefnEggs
HPV, I didnt do that
sunscreen? I dunno about that, i long hair and a beard and wear a hat(so many people don't) and vit C is needed for good skin(ie makes collagen,
healthy weight YES this is CRITICICAL as it was THE FIRST THING I SAID

You know your stuff, thanks for adding stuff!

Dr. Rhonda Patrick emphasizes that some nutrient deficiencies can shunt resources away from DNA protection, leaving you vulnerable to cancer.

Thus a healthy diet and GI tract would become invaluable in the fight against cancer.

so what are you saying we should do?
what is a healthy diet?

Unless you have something like crohn's disease or another serious disorder of the digestive tract, anyone that eats a whole foods diet that is rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, eggs, and cold water fishes, would be very hard pressed to have any nutritional deficiencies other than possibly Vitamin D in the winter months.   

Of course the thing with cancer is that genetics are a huge factor.   If you are genetically predisposed to a type of cancer then you just are and thus early screening is very, very important regardless of your diet and lifestyle.    For example, there is literally a 100% cancer rate on my mom's side of the family.   So I know I have a genetic predisposition to cancer.   That makes me ever more vigilant in terms of diet and exercise, but I also know that early screening will be important as well as I get older.

Of course, the easiest way to avoid cancer is just to never grow old.   Cancer is very rare in young people and the older you get the higher your odds of developing some type of cancer.    Its why cancer is so much more common today than 50 years ago or a 100 years ago.   We live a lot longer, thus more of get cancer.

Rhonda Patrick talks ofte about magnesium inadequacy leading to greater strand breaks.  She sees this often in the obese who, generally, do not have a good diet.  Here is a short talk where she discusses this:

right never grow old, ie keep telemorase long as possible,  ie spectrumk diet

Summary
Background
 Telomere shortness in human beings is a prognostic marker of ageing, disease, and premature morbidity.
We previously found an association between 3 months of comprehensive lifestyle changes and increased telomerase
activity in human immune-system cells. We followed up participants to investigate long-term effects.
Methods
 This follow-up study compared ten men and 25 external controls who had biopsy-proven low-risk prostate
cancer  and  had  chosen  to  undergo  active  surveillance.  Eligible  participants  were  enrolled  between  2003  and  2007 
from  previous  studies  and  selected  according  to  the  same  criteria.  Men  in  the  intervention  group  followed  a 
programme of comprehensive lifestyle changes (diet, activity, stress management, and social support), and the men
in  the  control  group  underwent  active  surveillance  alone.  W
